The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2554

“Be careful. Don’t get caught.” Shannon shrunk as if she was afraid to be caught doing something bad.

I laughed at her guilty expression. "This car is rented. The windows are all tinted, so no one can look in. Don’t worry.”

Shannon immediately sat up straight when she heard what I said. “You should have said so earlier. I wasted my time being so nervous. Say, do you think Gareth will notice us with us parked here in broad daylight?”

“He won’t. There are so many houses here. It’s normal for a car or two to be parked around. He won’t suspect a thing.” I had already scouted the place long before. Gareth had never interacted with his neighbors. He probably did not know what they looked like either.

“He’s coming out!” Shannon pointed at Gareth who was coming out in front of us.

He was dressed formally and got into the car.

He was dressed so formally even when heading out. Was he meeting someone important?

After his car was some distance ahead, I then slowly started driving.

I kept a certain distance within the visible line of sight so that we would not be easily discovered.

“We don’t seem to be heading into any business districts. Why would he not wear a tie if he’s meeting a client?”

Shannon was watching him very closely. I did not realize that he did not have a tie on either. After thinking, I replied, “He’s probably going to meet with someone important who’s not part of work. A personal friend perhaps?”

The sound of Shannon chewing on potato chips came from beside me, and I glanced at her. "Why are you still eating?”

“It’s not like it’s delaying us anyway. He's just going to meet a friend. Doesn’t seem to make sense for us to be tailing him,” Shannon said, looking like this was all unnecessary. Her tone was as light as cotton.

She was not wrong, though.

“Is that the hospital ahead?”

Shannon poked her head forward and narrowed her eyes. "Looks like it. We’re in the northern suburbs. The Northern Suburbs Hospital is known for its neurosurgery, but it’s located in a remote place. Most people would choose Whaldorf Hospital, which is more or less similar.”

“So, his friend is sick?” I murmured to myself.

VIP ward.

I looked around the place. It looked like it was someone important.

Just then, my phone started ringing, and I hurriedly fumbled to end the call.

When I looked up, Gareth was standing before me. “Aren’t you tired from following me the entire way?”

“Uh… What are you talking about, President Zeke? I wasn’t following you.” I pulled down my mask. He already caught me anyway.

Gareth shoved his hands into his pockets. “Are you here to visit a friend too, then, Miss Lane?”

“Uh, yes.”

“Where is your friend? Perhaps I could go with you and meet them?” Gareth obviously did not believe me. He leaned close to me, his eyes fierce.
