"Oh, here's the thing. It's all because of Horace. His sister is admitted in the hospital right now. I came here to check on her, but I can't seem to find her." Even though Sheffield was lying, he looked so calm and collected. No one would have doubted his words.
“Horace's sister? I didn't think you were so kind as to check on his sister. Do you know what she Looks Like?" the nurse asked, her eyes glued to his handsome face.
He searched his pocket and said, "He gave me a picture. Have you seen her?"
He held up the photo in which Evelyn was feeding an elephant in Flando.
“Wow, she is so beautiful!" the nurse exclaimed.
Sheffield said with a smug smile, "Well... I think so too." 'Of course, she is beautiful. She is my woman, ‘ he thought proudly.
Hearing this, the other nurses immediately gathered around and looked at the picture.
"Yeah! There is no way that this is Horace's sister.
She doesn't look anything like him."
“We've never seen her before. I guess she's not in our department."
"Oh," said Sheffield with a frown.
He then forced a smile and took the photo from the nurse.
"Since she is not here, I better go and look for her in the other departments. Thank you. I'LL buy you an afternoon tea next time.”
“Wow! Don't forget that!" The nurses watched him leave as they giggled amongst themselves.
Sheffield launched a thorough search of the hospital. He went to the respiratory department, the brain surgery department, the tumor department... He even went to the pediatric department looking for her, but she was nowhere.
Before the day came to an end, almost everyone in the hospital knew that Sheffield was looking for Horace's beautiful sister
The news took Horace by great surprise. He didn't even know that he had a sister.
He called Sheffield, who was heading for the department of gynecology.
He answered perfunctorily, “Oh, it's not you. I was referring to another Horace.”
“What—" Before Horace could say anything further, Sheffield hung up on him.
He had postponed all his work to find Evelyn. But, he still hadn't found her. He even doubted if it had been an illusion because of his busy work when he had seen her in the garden
The last stop of his search was the VIP inpatient department of gynecology and obstetrics
It was completely dark outside when he entered the department.
