Chapter 4: 4:New Mission
Chapter 4: 4:New Mission
Five days went by in the blink of an eye.
In the dead of night, when most of the people were asleep, Evan opened his eyes.
He wanted to escape as soon as possible because who knew when his fake parents might make a move. However, his inability to move made him feel akin to a chicken that was waiting to be slaughtered.
Getting up, he first unwrapped the neck brace while scanning the area.
Except for the sound of breathing and beeping, he didn't notice anyone patrolling.
"It's already half past 12. The new shift will start at 1. I need to get out of here quickly."
Resolving to act, Evan carefully pulled out the needles from his veins and placed them aside, setting the pillows and covering them with sheets to make them look like he was still in bed.
After looking around, he found a table where his smartphone and wallet were kept.
But the moment he grabbed the wallet, his brows furrowed and he frowned.
"These bastards," Evan muttered, gritting his teeth in annoyance, finding it almost empty.
There had been ten 100-rupee notes inside, but now, except for his ID and one 100 note, it was entirely empty.
Letting out a heavy sigh before putting it back, he looked around for some clothes. Sadly, except for the mask on the small table, there wasn't any.
He grabbed a handful and walked out.
As he passed through the corridor, he saw CCTV cameras panning around.
"It's okay, it's not as if I am a criminal. They'll soon find out that I'm missing anyway."
Still, he couldn't calm his uneasy heart, feeling as if he was escaping from prison.
After fifteen minutes of walking, Evan managed to get out of the hospital, but as soon as he walked out, many eyes turned toward him.
Even though it was midnight, the passage before the hospital was quite bustling with people walking around, holding a cup of tea in their hand.
His head along with most of his body was wrapped in bandages and he was wearing a long hospital gown. The sight of a patient who should be bedridden in the hospital suddenly walking around created a stir.
"Hey, brother, why are you walking around in such a condition?"
'Damn, can't you just mind your own business?'
Evan's body flinched as he gritted his teeth and turned around with a smile.
"I have been lying in bed for many days and was advised to walk a bit. I felt good just now, so I came out to have some fresh air."
"System, I remember that there was a mission I had to finish."

The moment Evan's eyes fell on the last part, he screamed in astonishment.
"What the hell? Why didn't you say that sooner?"
A reply came from the system almost making him cough blood.
[You were too busy.]
