252 Just a little more (1/2)

Jin Yue stood by the ward, waiting for the lady to come out. He rehearsed what he was going to say to her but most importantly how he was going to make her speak to him.

He decided to stand directly in front of the door, so even if she was so lost in thought that she could not hear, at least she could see. The woman did not come out for the next twenty minutes, Jin Yue's legs ached but he did not move from the spot.

After about ten minutes more, the door cringed open and she stepped out. She nearly bumped into Jin Yue but luckily, she saw him in time.

Raising her eyes to look at him, she creased her brows wondering what he was doing there in front of a ward.

''Good day, please can I have some minutes of your time? ''

The woman did not respond, but she did not move either, so Jin Yue figured that he might as well go straight to the point.

''Please, I'm looking for someone, she was admitted in this hospital but she has been discharged now. She lost a child. Her name is Xin Yong.''

At the mention of her name, the woman's brows lessened. Jin Yue thanked his stars that he had gotten her attention.

''Please do you know anything about her or how I can find her, it is very urgent. ''

The lady stared at Jin Yue for some time before finally opening her mouth for the first time.

''Why are you looking for her? ''

Jin Yue was quiet at this question. If he said that he was a relation, then he shouldn't be asking how to locate her in the first place.

''I'm a friend. Her phone has been switched off for months now, so I couldn't get in touch.''

Jin Yue replied; he swallowed hard, praying that the lady would fall for his lie.

The woman stared at Jin Yue for some time before turning around and walking away.

Jin Yue mouth fell open, just right now she looked as though she was going to say something, who would have thought that she would walk off just like that. Without a second thought, he raced after her.

''Miss, please, this is very urgent, I really need to see her.''

''Mr., I studied psychology and I mastered the course, I can tell when someone is lying; so if you want to get any information form me, you better say something truthful. ''

The woman replied nonchalantly as she continued walking down the hall. Jin Yue's lips fluttered but no words came out. He did not realize his lie was so transparent.

The woman stopped at a door and walked in, Jin Yue followed behind; it was a ward but no one was in; Jin Yue assumed that she spent some quiet time there.

''I'm sorry for lying just now; it's just that… it's just that, I'm not sure if you would tell me anything if I say the truth. ''
