Chapter 21
(CCTV Footage)
“She left my room one hour ago” Riley unnerved, alighting from her bed.
“If she left one hour ago then, where is she?” Collins reckoned.
“Adams” Collins and Nurse Grace screamed, gazing at each other.
“Adams ?” Who is Adams?” Riley asked, looking at Nurse Grace and Mr. Walter.
Kahlani and Raiden stood up instantly
“What happened to Piper ?” They raised a question…
“They said she was not in the room” Mrs. Walker panicked.
“We are not convinced yet. We will go and inspect her room one more time ” Mr. Walter answered, and pulled Grace in the arm.
He pulled her out of the room and stood a few steps away from the room trying to catch his breath.
“What was that for ?” Collins asked.
“As to how ?” Nurse Grace asked, looking confused.
“You shouldn’t have mentioned Adam’s name. You just put them in a frightened state.” Collins mumbled, using his hand to brush his hair aside.
“As if I was the only one that exclaimed earlier” Nurse Grace sneered.
“If she’s not in her room, where could she be ?”Collins murmured.
“To be sincere, you are at fault here ” Nurse Grace uttered, using her index finger to hit his chest.
“Don’t shift the blame on me okay, I told you to stay with her” Collins articulated gritting his teeth.
“And I did, I did what you told me to do. I was on night shift, I left when she was awake already. You are at fault Collins, ask me how” Nurse Grace half yelled.
“How ??” Collins asked, crossing his arms behind his back.
“Where are your bodyguards,” Nurse Grace asked, rolling down her eyes.
“I sent them home, including my maids, I don’t like carrying them around, I only have Bella and Richard around because they are Kiara’s favorite.
Nurse Grace gasped loudly “You shouldn’t have sent them home. That was the main reason why you said I should stay with her” Nurse Grace blinked her eyelashes rapidly.
“Yes, that was the main reason. What should we do right now,” Nurse Grace asked, looking at the two exits that were nearby?
“Where is your CCTV footage room?” Collins inquired.
“Around the lobby, but you will have to let the management be aware of this” Nurse Grace implied.
“Just a call should do, Do you even know who the real owner of this hospital is despite working here. ” Collins asked.
“Have not seen the owner of this hospital despite working here, but I heard it was a man.” She replied, tapping her feet.
“Doctor Murphy was appointed to manage it, but the real owner is Glory. Glory Walter” Collins smiled.
Nurse Grace gasped loudly covering her mouth.
“Your Younger Sister” Nurse Grace stuttered —Doctor Murphy isn’t picking up his phone” he cut her off.
“We should go and check it out, “Nurse Grace said, walking inside the elevator.
“I will call glory directly” Collins uttered.
“It’s pointless doing this, she’s your younger sister already,” Nurse Grace said, checking her wristwatch.
” Hello Glory”
“Where are you?” Glory threw him a question.
“Your hospital, any problem,” Collins asked.
“Are you injured” she panicked
“Not at all Glory, a staff got admitted here, so I came to check up on her” Collins replied, walking out of the elevator with Nurse Grace.
“What’s happening? You are not the type that checks up on staff. You did not visit Mrs. Sharon when she gave birth and now, you are checking up on a staff. Don’t worry, I will find out everything very soon” Glory smirked.
Collins rolled his eyes,
“Why did you change Kiara’s school?
“How did you know I changed her school,” he asked, staring at Grace’s face.
“I wanted to show her a surprise visit and I was told she’s not coming again” Glory half yelled.
“You should have called me you wanted to do something like that but you can still do your surprise visit ” Collins uttered, knocking on the security footage room
“Which school is she going to to”
“My school” He replied and she end the call immediately.
“How many I assist you ?” The footage watcher asked.
“We want to check the footage from an hour ago,” Nurse Grace said.
“We are not allowed to do such” The watcher muttered.
“My name is Collins Reed Walter, I am an elder brother to the owner of this hospital.” Collins muttered angrily.
“He can’t know glory, they only know Doctor Murphy” Nurse Grace whispered.
“If you make me call Murphy on the phone, you are losing your job” He uttered, gritting his teeth.
Nurse Grace gasped loudly, staring at him weirdly…
The security guard didn’t hesitate to stand up on his feet. Collins was impatient with the mouse…
“Calm down Collins, we will find her” Nurse Grace said calmly.
“I just hope so. I just hope it’s not what I’m thinking…
“That’s the footage you are looking for” The security speaks up. Collins nodded and clicked on the footage.
He kept forwarding it every second…
“That’s her,” Nurse Grace said with a soft scream.
“Where is this place in this hospital,” Collins asked.
“This is the passageway to her private ward, forward it,” Nurse Grace asked.
He forwarded it several times…
“She did not come out of her room Grace,” Collins said worriedly.
“I’m wondering also,” Nurse Grace murmurs.
“That’s her, she’s coming out” Nurse Grace exclaimed. Collins turned to the computer and saw Piper.
“Where is she ??” Collins asked.
“I don’t know,” Nurse Grace answered.
“There’s no CCTV around the passageway she took,” The security guard said.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“This is bull shit” Collins cursed below his breath…
“Let’s go and check around that passageway we might perhaps find her ” Nurse Grace suggested, packing up her hair.
“Okay, ” Collins replied with a pout.

Collins and Grace research the passageway, Mrs Walker, Raiden , Kailani were not left out. Riley sat down on an iron bench around their searching area.
“Where could she disappear to?” Mrs Walker cried, leaning on the wall.
“I wanted to follower but she didn’t allow me to,” Raiden muttered.
“Could it be that she was kidnapped ?” Riley said.
“That’s not possible, Piper, don’t get into trouble. She’s always keeping cool” Raiden uttered softly.
“Mom!!, Riley. What are you doing outside” Piper panicked, rushing to their side.
“Where did you go?” Kailani cried.
“What’s happening??” Why is everyone worried..” She asked, hugging Kailani.
“Why did you leave your room ?” Collins asked, trying to himself cool down.
“Good Morning sir” she greeted.
“You haven’t answered my question,” he muttered.
“I heard that the hospital rooftop is cool for relaxing. So I went there to get some fresh air, “she replied.
“What the hell ??” Everyone exclaimed.
