Louis' scowl deepened. He dialed the bodyguards tasked with protecting Alicia, and barked into the phone, "I told you to keep a close eye on Alicia. Where is she?"
The bodyguard replied respectfully, "Mrs. Martinez said we needed a two-day break from watching her. She said it was on your orders."
Louis's lips twitched in fury as he thought, "Even the obedient Alicia was pulling the wool over my eyes." He asked through gritted teeth, "Where'd she go?"
Sensing Louis' anger, the bodyguard answered cautiously, "Mrs. Martinez didn't say."
Louis hung up and tried calling Doris, but her phone was turned off too. He ordered his assistant, "Check the surveillance footage."
"You got it, Mr. Martinez," the assistant quickly assembled a team and headed to the hospital's surveillance room.
Ten minutes later, the assistant called back, "Mr. Martinez, all the footage that could have shown Mrs. Martinez has been deleted."
