Chapter 603
The nurse finished changing Sarah's medication and said warmly, "If today's tests look good, you can be
discharged tomorrow."
"Great, thank you."
Alone in the private hospital room, the emptiness only amplified her feelings of isolation.
With no one around, she repeatedly watched news footage of Zachary leaving the Wilson mansion, analyzing his
expression five times over, trying to determine if his feelings were genuine or forced.
She couldn't tell. At noon, Melvin arrived with lunch.
Sarah noticed his furrowed brow. "What's wrong? Something's bothering you."
Melvin forced a smile. "It's nothing. How are you feeling today?"
"The nurse says | can leave tomorrow." Sarah's voice was unnaturally flat. "If something's happened, don't keep
it from me."
Thinking of recent events, Melvin seemed to deflate. "Are you really okay, Sarah?"

"I'm fine, truly. Now please tellwhat's going on."
Under her persistent gaze, Melvin finally explained.
"There's trouble at the factory in West Ridge. It was the first one your uncle established. The machines are
malfunctioning, workers are on strike. The manager claims it's everything from sabotage to the place being
haunted. It's been shut down for a month. The workers have organized themselves and driven away every
manager headquarters has sent."
"Why not involve the police? They're breaking the law," Sarah asked.
Melvin gave a bitter smile. "Many of them worked alongside your uncle when the factory was just starting. It
wouldn't look good for the company's reputation to bring in authorities."
He looked at her intently. "I'm planning to go there myself. While I'm gone, you can oversee the Pine Mist Island
project."
Sarah considered this. "Letgo instead. | could use sdistance from everything here."
All across the city, people were discussing Zachary and Vivian's engagement. She couldn't bear to hear more.
"West Ridge is nothing like here," Melvin cautioned. "It's remote, traditional, and the intebarely works. The
locals are set in their ways. The Pine Mist plans are finalized - you just need to check in occasionally while
professional supervisors handle the details."
Sarah met his eyes seriously. "Please letgo. | need to get away from this city."

"I will. So that's a yes?" She managed a small smile.

Sarah picked up her spoon. "Thank you."
