The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2553

The incident caught everyone off guard, and Balfour had pulled a few folks straight from the office to deal with it.

Quinton was holding a tablet, pointing at the screen, and walking Balfour through her last known movements.

The sight of Ivy's carefree silhouette, oblivious to her fate, twisted his heart in agony.

"She couldn't have just vanished into thin air. Expand the timeline to two minutes before and after; I want to see exactly how someone managed to take her!"

Ivy's figure indeed never reappeared on the security footage, which confirmed she didn't leave on her own.

"Stop—zoom in on that section."

Quinton complied, and on the screen was an orderly pushing a gurney, clearly with a patient who must have just been discharged.

"Don't you think there's something off here?"

It suddenly hit Balfour; he'd seen a similar figure when he entered the hospital. But what was odd about it?

"It's her!"

Since when have patients been completely covered from head to toe?

Balfour had spotted the anomaly, understanding why he had felt so strange when he encountered the orderly before.

Even if a body was being transported, no one would be so brazen as to push a gurney out in the open like that.

And if it were a patient, how could they be covered so thoroughly?

It was likely that Ivy was lying on that gurney!

Which meant he had walked right past her!
