Jack received a call from the nursing home as the biting cold wind swept through


    "Hello, Mr. Wiley. We''re calling from Sunset Nursing Home. Earlier this moming, someone iming to be a rtive came to visit your family''s elder. We tried calling you but couldn''t reach you, so we didn''t allow the visit. Could you confirm if that person was a family member?


    Jack''s heart missed a beat as he immediately realized it was Evelyn''s people. "What kind of ce are you running? You let strangers get that close? If anything happens to my mother, I''ll make sure you all pay!"


    Fuming, he mmed the phone down and yelled at the driver, "Turn the car around, head to the nursing home!"N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    When Jack stormed into the nursing home with his entourage, the person in charge rushed over but was stopped outside the room.


    As he barked orders for his men to pack up Anna''s belongings, Jack grabbed her roughly by the cor, "You old hag, your granddaughter is making things hard for me! Remember, it''s not me putting you through this-It''s that ungrateful Evelyn!"


    he shoved her back onto the bed with disgust, wiping his hands as if to rid himself of the touch. "Hurry up, get it done!"


    The elderly womany there silently as a tear rolled down her cheek.


    Asjack and his men left, the onlookers began muttering in a


    anger.


    Unbelievable, he hasn''t visited in ages, and when he does, this is how he treats her?


    "Yeah, dressed all fancy while his mother''s in a ce like this."


    The nended smoothly at Yardville Airport.


    I rushed outside and immediately spotted Liam waiting for me. He took my bag and opened the cat door, motioning for me to get in.


    "Let''s go to the nursing home. We need to get Grandma, "I said urgently.


    Liam didn''t hesitate. He tumed the car around and headed straight for the outskirts.


    "Evelyn, I managed to get a set of staff uniforms from the nursing home. We''ll pretend to be family members visiting. The people I hired will act as staff apanying us. As soon as we get a chance, we''ll move your grandmother downstairs and sneak her out through the back door."


    "What if we get caught? I asked, determined that everything had to go perfectly.


    "This ce is cheap, and their security is prettyx. Even if we do get caught, there are people waiting outside to cover for us," Liam exined, his calm demeanor easing my nerves slightly.


    Before long, we arrived at the nursing home. The sight of the run-down sign at the entrance reignited my anger,


    The guard was fast asleep, so we entered without any trouble. The fake staff we hired followed usin


    The air reeked of a mix of unpleasant smells-waste, food, i


    and


    I something else indescribable.


    The walls were covered in mold, and no nt or greenery was in sight. The rooms were mped and packed one next to another.


    This outdated, low-budget nu


    nursing home was almost unheard of these days. I couldn''t believe Jack had put Grandma in a ce like this just Rage simmered inside me as I clenched my fists,

    Lam leaned in and whispered, "You


    grandmother is in room 407, on the fourth floor."


    I nodded and followed him upstairs.


    At the door to room 407, a janitor was busy mopping the floor, I couldn''t wait any longer and rushed inside, only to find the roompletely empty.
