Chapter 1204

Serenity arrived at the hospital and searched for Lisa's name at the nurse station. What she feared most had come true. Lisa was seriously injured and had just been pushed out of the emergency room. Lisa was still in critical condition and under observation in the ICU. Only after passing the critical period could she be transferred to the normal ward. Serenity felt that everything seemed darker, the color in her world turning gray. She approached the ICU ward and saw Lisa's parents standing by the glass wall, crying as they looked inside. It had been more than four years since Serenity had seen Lisa's parents. She never expected to see them again in a place like this. And Lisa… Lisa was… Serenity's legs trembled. She felt too much like a coward, afraid to see Lisa behind the glass wall. The thought of seeing Lisa in a critical condition was too much for her to bear! One step, two steps… Serenity moved slowly, crossing the very small distance that felt so far away. By the time she got to the glass wall, she burst into tears seeing Lisa on the hospital bed. The patient had a tube in her nose and a thick gauze wrapped around her head, lying motionless on the bed. One might mistake the patient for a dead person if not for the changing numbers on the medical instrument next to her. 'Lisa? Is that you? What's going on?!' Serenity thought, unable to understand why this was happening. Lisa had been so energetic when she talked to her on the phone. Before leaving Solaria, Lisa had said that she would come back again and promised to go shopping and have dinner together. Why had this happened? Why was Terry missing? Why was Lisa so badly hurt? These mysteries were like questions with no answers. "L-Lisa… How is she now?" Serenity asked in a murmur, and her voice immediately caught the attention of Lisa's parents. When they turned around, they were furious to see her and treated her like an outlet to vent their anger. Mrs. Quest barked at Serenity, "What are you doing here?! I told you not to bother us! Lisa gave up so much for you, so be grateful to her! Can't you give us a break at a time like this?!" 　 "I-I just want to know what's going on with Lisa and if there's anything I can do to help," Serenity choked out a sob. "Help? How can you help?!" Mrs. Quest boomed, "You're just an ex-convict. You're not a doctor, not a cop. What can you do to help? Help Lisa recover? Or help Lisa find the killer?!" Serenity clenched her teeth tightly. She had no way to refute Mrs. Quest's words. She could only look at Lisa in critical condition but could not do anything to help! Mr. Quest was a little more composed than his wife. He pulled his wife aside and calmed her, "All right, let's stop talking about it. What's the use of telling her these things?"
