"Amnesia?!"
Although she had guesses, when she got the accurate information, Teresa's tone was still raised a notch. Subconsciously, she didn't want to believe the answer.
"Could it be a disguise?"
Teresa asked.
"Chief, please believe in my professionalism and work ethic!"
The doctor seemed to be dissatisfied with Teresa's question.
However, under Teresa's insistence, Kieran had no choice but to explain, "That patient suffered from a rare case of total amnesia, he even forgot his own name, address, and background … In simple words, if it was a disguise, he wouldn't have no reaction to the celebrities and events you suddenly asked about."
"Although he hasn't lost his mobility, his skin is as white as a baby's."
The doctor commented on Kieran.
The chief officer frowned.
She recalled how Kieran was in a daze when she suddenly asked the doctor about his condition. Even though she didn't want to believe it, she had to admit that the doctor's diagnosis of Kieran was amnesia.
"Is there any chance for him to recover?
In a short period of time! "
Teresa emphasized.
"Impossible!
Although there is a chance for him to recover, don't even think about it in a short period of time. The patient suffered a certain degree of impact to his head and then faced that horrifying scene, he would need a long time to calm his heart down. Besides, I don't suggest Chief Officer to treat the patient like a criminal … "
Teresa wasn't interested in listening any further.
She waved at the doctor and headed towards Kieran's ICU ward.
"This is a hospital!
You should listen to my advice! "
Teresa's attitude infuriated the doctor.
"It's just a suggestion, not an order."
Teresa said faintly and walked into the ward without turning back.
Kieran was still cuffed to the bed.
His Intuition allowed him to clearly hear the conversation between Teresa and the doctor. He knew he was safe for the time being.
Being an amnesia patient wasn't something to be proud of but it was better than being a nameless person.
Though, Kieran knew the danger wasn't over yet.
Kieran had a deep understanding of how difficult it was to deal with the chief officer.
Although it was small in size, it was like a bull terrier. Once it bit its opponent, it would never let go. This gave Kieran a considerable amount of pressure.
The other party wouldn't give up so easily.
Kieran was well aware of this.
So, when Teresa walked into the ward and took a picture of him with her phone, Kieran knew what she was trying to do.
He was a police officer.
Compared to ordinary natives, they naturally had an advantage.
As long as there was a clear photo, the police department's archive would clearly display the person's information, social relations, and social structure to the people who needed it.
As an outsider, he was naturally not one of them.
At that time, even if he had amnesia as a cover, it would become even more troublesome.
After all, he only had ten days to search for the main mission!
"Are you a little nervous?"
When Teresa took out her phone, she saw Kieran's expression.
But to her disappointment, Kieran was still in a daze.
Though, she didn't plan to give up.
To Teresa, using words to bluff was nothing out of the ordinary.
However, Kieran was prepared and wouldn't fall for it.
"No, this is … a phone?"
Kieran shook his head and looked at the phone in Teresa's hand with a slightly curious look. He had seen the old phone in some books in real life before.
Poor battery life, small memory, blurred image.
"Seems like your amnesia isn't complete!"
Teresa grunted coldly. After taking another picture of Kieran, she turned around and left.
Bang!
The door was slammed shut.
"From here back to the station, looking for my information in the station's archive and then back to the hospital … No, she has a phone, she can contact her two men outside the door. Even if the search will take some time due to the huge amount of files, it won't take too long. I don't have much time left!"
Because of the lack of knowledge regarding the current dungeon world, Kieran couldn't accurately calculate the time but he knew what he had to do.
He looked down at the handcuffs.
Without [Deceiver's Key], he would have to search for other replacement items.
Even though all his skills were reduced by 1, Grand Master [Lockpicking] allowed Kieran to open the handcuffs easily.
Kieran pulled out the IV needle and inserted it into the keyhole of the handcuffs.
Kak!
The handcuffs were opened right away.
Kieran moved his wrist a little and looked out the window.
He was on the fifth floor, which was quite high compared to the rest of the seven floors but it would be a piece of cake for Kieran to leave.
However, just when Kieran was about to open the window, clear footsteps sounded.
The ICU that Kieran was in was the last one in the corridor.
No doubt someone was coming.
Without further hesitation, Kieran returned to the bed and cuffed himself again. He even inserted the IV needle back into the back of his hand.
It was true that he wanted to escape.
But he didn't want to be discovered the moment he escaped.
He needed more time.
Whether it was hiding himself or searching for clues, he needed time.
Kieran covered himself with the blanket and waited patiently.
A few seconds later, a doctor came in.
It wasn't the doctor who diagnosed Kieran before but a younger, middle-aged man.
He had glasses, a large white coat, and a rather handsome face, which was very much in line with people's imaginations of doctors.
However, Kieran frowned in his heart.
The man was panting heavily. Even though he purposely adjusted his breathing before approaching the room, his breathing was still faster than a common man's.
His hair, which should have been neatly combed, was a little messy.
He had a smile on his face but his expression was still nervous.
"Hello, I'm the doctor on duty tonight … No, I don't need a check-up, I'm just curious. I haven't really come into contact with an amnesia patient before."
The man said.
As if he realized how unreliable his words were, he quickly explained, "Of course, I don't mean to offend you but I really want to know what kind of condition you are in right now. You might have forgotten your name and identity, but is there anything that you are familiar with? "
"Nothing particularly familiar."
Kieran shook his head.
"Is that so?
What a pity! "
The man shook his head in pity.
Then, he had to end the conversation.
The man stood up from his chair.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can ring the bell for me, my office is at the other end of the corridor …"
The man said as if he was doing his job.
But before he finished, Kieran heard a heavy thud from downstairs.
It was the sound of a heavy object falling.
Then …
"Someone jumped off the building!
Someone jumped off the building! "
…
