CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

EDWARD'S POV

"Thug? Why will two thugs escort Roxanne to the hospital? I pondered deeply, guiding my thoughts carefully so that it won't stray into thinking of the worst.

I racked my brain, trying to solve the twisted puzzle. The middle aged man did make mention of a lady. Why would a lady move with thugs? 

I needed to find the man again, to make the scenario a bit clearer. For the whole scene the man painted earlier was foggy to me.

I ascended the stairs to the next floor, hoping to find the man.

I muffled a low thank God as I met the man, standing outside his door with a lady.

"Sorry for interrupting, please can you describe the lady again?" I asked, shifting attention to myself.

"What lady?" He asked, not comprehending the discourse I began. He scrutinized me with his eagle eyes, visibly showing his disgust.
