"Go ahead! I will text you guys when we're done here; it should take long." She turned her attention to the Director: " He's coming with me, no if no but, no other way! is that clear?" Grab Jeff's hand and pulled him with her to go inside the room.

The Director could do or say a word. 'The way Ann had commanded him, there's no way he would want to cross her.' He thought to himself while scratching his head on the way into his office.

The meantime, Grandpa Go went back to Albert's room following Sophia. When they arrived, he was elated to see Grandma Tan already out the bed and sitting by Albert's bed talking to him.

He stood by the door and gazed at the woman he loves since young. Suddenly a thought came to his mind while looking at Grandma Tan intensely;

'The girl similarity with my sweetheart when we were young is impressive. How could it be? What is their relationship with each other? It's a confusing mystery, and I need to find out one way or the other.' His suspicion is growing by the minute.

"What about Mr. Tan?" Jeff is now curious.

"Take a look at this! " Hand over his cellphone to Jeff.

Ann scoot over closer to her husband to take a look at the recorded video together. What they saw left both of them speechless and Shocked.

" When did you recorded this? Is it before her accident or after? And why didn't you turned it over to Officer Gomez who was just here?" Ann is now really upset with burning rage showing on her face.

" You see! there's this thing that I had done and I'm afraid I will be implicated if known." He replied with remorse on his voice.
