Something Is Amiss
As soon as news about Zayn's condition was spread on the internet, it immediately caused an uproar. Zayn Giblo Is Not Dead But Severely Injured And Sent To Rayson Hospital.
Carla immediately instructed Charles to seal off the hospital and made her way there with Freda.
Thompson and Jamal, who were also excited about the news, followed right behind them in a different car.
Carla knew they were not the only ones heading to the hospital. Every major media company and others who received the news would also be there.
On the way there, she tried her best to regain her composure and ordered Freda, "Seal off the hospital and do not allow outsiders to enter. Also, have Charles verify if the man is actually Zayn."
"I know. I've texted Charles. He should know what to do." Freda could not contain her excitement. "How great would it be if that man is Mr. Giblo!"
"But something doesn't feel right to me." Rogan, on the other hand, expressed her reservations about the news. "If Mr. Giblo is still alive, why didn't he contact Ms. Lierger? And if someone had saved him, why would they take him to Rayson Hospital, which is rather far away?"
"It's easy to guess. Mr. Giblo had sustained grievous injuries and was most probably unconscious. How do you expect him to call anyone? Besides, the person who rescued him might have just sent him to a random hospital, " Freda analyzed.
"Then, who saved him?" Rogan was puzzled. "Since Mr. Giblo went missing in Southridge, the intruders should be the ones who took him away. Why would they send him to the hospital?"
"Maybe he escaped from them, and then a passerby helped him?"
Though Freda sensed something fishy about it, she was still hopeful. "We'll find out once we arrive at the hospital."
At that moment, Rogan pointed out a critical issue. "Most importantly, who was the one who sent the journalists that anonymous message? Could they be the same person who instigated the journalists to attack Ms. Lierger?"
Her query silenced Freda, who cast an anxious look at Carla.
If even Rogan the scatterbrain could raise such suspicions, Carla must have thought of them too.
Seeing that she remained silent throughout, Freda guessed that she was also mulling over it.
In fact, all Carla could think of was verifying the man's identity. Deep in her heart, she hoped that the man was Zayn.
Nothing else matters as long as he's still alive. As for the other issues, we can face and solve them together.
"I still feel that the whole incident is a scheme." Rogan failed to notice Carla's expression and continued, "Considering that so many media companies suddenly bombarded Ms. Lierger with allegations on the internet, it has to be premeditated. Then, toward the end of the press conference, the journalists received the same anonymous message at the same time. Everything must be connected."
"Shush." Freda nudged her to stop her from continuing.
Only then did Rogan catch on. Looking at the visibly troubled Carla through the rearview mirror, she hurriedly consoled her, "Please ignore what I've said just now, Ms. Lierger. I was merely spouting nonsense."
"You're right." Carla finally spoke. "But I want to believe that he's still alive. As long as he's alive, I'll have the courage to face any obstacles."
Upon hearing that, Rogan and Freda could feel their hearts aching for her.
Suddenly, Freda's phone rang. She picked it up and looked at the screen. "It's Charles."
"Yes, Charles?" she said into the phone.
"I'm at the hospital now. That man does look like Mr. Giblo."
"What do you mean by he does look like Mr. Giblo?" Freda questioned quizzically.
"Give me the phone." Carla took over the phone and asked eagerly, "Did you see him? Is it really him?"
"It should be, but I can't help but feel that something is amiss, " Gordan answered.
