"What's all the fuss about?" Brock Hale frowned.

Old Sir Hale spoke with a grave voice, "What's happened? A private runaway!"

"Sister Joy just called me, saying she wanted to visit the hospital. I told her the room number, but she said I got it wrong, claiming my sister-in-law isn't even there."

Joy Watson had long wanted to visit the sick, but Zoe Bell had said there was no need.

But as the boss was ill, she had to show concern.

"She even sent me a video; she's truly not there."

Lily Lott frowned, "Maybe your brother took her out for some sun."

"I thought so too, but Sister Joy asked at the nurse's station, and they said she was discharged last night and ran away in the night."

The Hale Family: "..."

During Zoe Bell's hospitalization, William Hale refused family visits, citing her distress and need for restful recovery. The Hale Family didn't want to disturb her rest, only visiting occasionally.

But now,

she had run away!
