�Are you up, my little prisoner baby?� She teased as she entered Stefan�s room, only to be absolutely stunned.

The large room was empty, and the man was nowhere to be found!

Anxiousness creeped into Renee�s heart instantly. �This is weird, it�s so early in the morning, and that guy is in an unfamiliar place! Besides, he�s blind, so where could he have run off to?!�

She swung the door open as she intended to look for the man, bumping right into the vice dean.

�Good morning, Ren. You�re up early. Did you have a good rest?� Yulia asked with a gentle smile.

She then pointed towards the employee behind her, who was pushing a white cart. �I had the dietary department make some nutritious breakfast according to both of your physical conditions. Quick, have a taste.�

Renee, unfortunately, was in no mood for this, her expression sorrowful. �Thanks, Mrs. Walker, but I have a bigger issue to deal with now.�

�Don�t panic. What is the problem? Can I help?�

�Well�� Renee seemed conlifted, uncertain if she should tell the truth. After all, it was embarrassing to admit that she couldn�t keep an eye on a seriously injured, blind man. It was no different from admitting to her sheer incompetence.

Yulia could tell that Renee was in a tough spot, comforting her. �It�s okay if you can�t tell me, but� just remember to treat this place like your home. The sanatorium is willing to be at your command, we will do everything we can to help.�

The old woman�s sincerity helped ease Renee�s doubts. She let out a dry cough and whispered,

�Umm� Have any of you seen Stefan?�

�Hasn�t Mr. Hunt been with you the entire time?�

�When I woke up this morning, I saw that he wasn�t in his room. I don�t even know when he ran out!� Renee pouted as she huffed.

�Can you believe that guy? He�s injured and blind for crying out loud, but he�s still trying to escape! Does he have a death wish or something?!�

�Calm down, Ren. Public areas within our sanatorium have surveillance cameras, so we�ll be able to find out where he�s gone after checking the footage. He should still be nearby,� Yulia consoled and quickly found security to dig out their surveillance history from last night.

The cameras had captured Stefan making his way out of his room at around 3 AM. He stumbled into many things, but was somehow still able to find an exit out of the west wing.

�Mr. Hunt sure is determined. He fell so many times, but refused to give up. If this were anyone else, they�d be bawling their eyes out and asking for help.� Yulia couldn�t help but gasp in awe as she continued watching.

�I�d say he lost his will to live, he�s not driven by determination at all!� Renee glared at the stubborn man, wishing she could punch him through the screen.

�Damn it! Does he miss Seraphina so much that he has to get back to her right away? He�s still going on even though he�s risking falling to his death!� JrNovels.com
