"I know that her fees have already been paid, but I want her to be in a private room where she can recover in peace," Chief said to the nurse. He also knew everything because he read it in the document.
"That's what I am telling you, sir. The room assigned to her is a private VIP room, and the payment has been made for the entire half year," the nurse said, hearing the Chief's thoughts. She made a weird face, not understanding what the other party wanted to say.
"???"
Upon hearing this, Chief and all the team members of Ji-Won had question marks on their faces because they wanted to know who paid these fees for Ji-Won.
"Sir, wouldn't he....."
Detective Kim got a hint of something and wanted to say something as he got some clues about who might have upgraded the room, but before he could say it, he abruptly stopped in the middle of his words.
Chief Lee, who is very attentive and has a sharp mind, understood by the following words of Detective Kim who might be the person mentioned by Detective Kim.
As they wanted to continue investigating who paid the money, they stopped and then, as if a change occurred in his heart, Chief asked the nurse, "Then, please take her to her ward."
The nurse also nodded and took Ji-Won to her dedicated room with the help of the wardboys.
Chief Lee and all others followed the nurse to the room and helped her settle in. Upon reaching there, the chief ordered them, "You all go home and rest, and I will stay here with her now." Chief told them because they were all restless when they received the news of Ji-Won's disappearance, and the whole night was spent in this mess.
"Don't worry, sir. We are all fine, and Ji-Won is like our family, so this is not a hassle for us," Detective Kim said in response to the concern shown by the Chief.
Not only Detective Kim, but all the team members nodded in agreement.
"I know this, but you all have to do your duty, and now there is not much time left until sunrise, so take some rest and then continue the investigation of the Drug Lord. By the way, do whatever you need to do to track the person who brought Ji-Won here," Chief ordered them because he knew they would not follow his words if he said them softly.
"Okay, sir, we will do that," Sergeant Choi said and nodded. But before they left, Detective Kim asked, "Sir, wouldn't you call home to tell them about the situation and what happened to Ji-Won?"
Chief looked at Detective Kim and sighed upon hearing this. "I have to tell them. I did not tell them beforehand because they might get tense and rush back here when they receive this news, and I did not want them to be in tension before we even find Ji-Won's whereabouts. But now everything is alright, so I have to tell them everything."
Upon hearing this, not only Detective Kim, but all of them also nodded. Detective Kim said goodbye to the Chief, "Okay, sir, take care."
"Take care, sir."
"Take care, sir."
Detective Kim said and bowed to the Chief, and then the team members followed suit, bowing to him before leaving.
'Rustle' 'Rustle'
Seeing them leave, Chief Lee entered the room and went towards Ji-Won. He stood near her bed, looking at her with a mix of love, tension, and happiness in his eyes, and he caressed her head.
