Billionaire’s Runaway Bride

Aimee nodded and said, “Then, can you help me with the discharge procedures, Mr. Carter? We can start the investigation earlier.”

I agreed without comment and turned to handle her discharge procedures.

When I returned to the ward after finishing the discharge procedures, Aimee had already changed into normal clothes.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Looking at the woman in front of me, smiling sweetly and wearing a long dress, I felt a bit bewildered.

Yesterday, Aimee’s pale face and hospital gown had left a deep impression on me. Seeing her now, I felt as though I had traveled through time and space.

“Is everything done?” she asked, bringing me back to reality.

I snapped out of my daze and said, “Yes, we can go now. I’ll drive you back.”

Aimee’s POV

“Penn and I agreed to meet at the research institute at 2 pm,” Penn told me before leaving.

I replied, “I’ll tell Mr. Finger to go there earlier then.”

After exchanging a few words, Penn left.

With only a little time left until 2 pm, I quickly called Dexter, “Mr. Carter said he will be there at 2 pm, so you may need to go there a little earlier.”

“I understand. I’m already at the research institute, so I can meet him whenever he arrives,” Dexter replied.

Penn’s POV: Dexter’s face was filled with a flattering smile, “Mr. Carter, why didn’t you give me a call? I could have picked you up at the door.”

My gaze fell on the surveillance footage on the screen, “What’s this, Mr. Finger?”

“It’s about yesterday’s incident. I feel like something’s off, so I looked at the surveillance footage to see if I could find anything.”

He smiled calmly, “Since Mr. Carter also plans to investigate yesterday’s incident, you must also want to look at the surveillance footage, right? Why don’t we watch it together?”

I stared heavily at him for a few seconds before stepping inside. Dexter voluntarily gave up his seat and stood to the side. We watched the surveillance footage from yesterday together, starting from when Aimee and Dave began their experiment. In the footage, Aimee and Dave were laughing and talking the whole time. They were almost always together, with Dexter lagging one or two steps behind them, his expression completely different from theirs.

If Dexter’s expression was focused on the experiment, then Dave and Aimee’s expressions had nothing to do with research! I had always thought that Dave and Aimee were too close. As I watched the surveillance video, my anger grew. Seeing Dave and Aimee exchange glances and understand what the other was going to do before even speaking, made me feel even more outraged!

I spoke up with a grim look on my face when the surveillance footage showed Dave and Aimee leaving the laboratory. “Rewind that section of the surveillance footage.”

Dexter trembled slightly and rewound the surveillance footage to the chaotic time after the gas leak. “Mr. Carter, is there anything unusual in this section?” I watched until the very last second, my eyes filled with seriousness.

“No, there is nothing unusual,” Dexter replied.

“But in my opinion, that’s the biggest anomaly. Except for Dave, Aimee, and Dexter, no one else came near that experimental table.”
