Chapter 512  Searching Rosalie Withers (11)

Turning her gaze towards Seven, she found him peering back at her with intense concern in his eyes. "Three, are you okay?"

Scarlett's pale face worried Seven, prompting him to rush over. She didn't respond immediately. Her emotions were mixed as she looked at Seven, now standing only a few steps away.

Scarlett discovered from Max's report that Allaistar Parker had been to Longyearbyen, Svalbard, and had used a false identity during his visit. This raised serious suspicions.

Regrettably, Max couldn't offer precise details about the small town due to the lack of public space CCTV. Therefore, Max suggested she visit the Longyearbyen personally and install a device on that island to operate the God Eyes System. To speed up their search for traces of Allaistar Parker or Rosalie Withers.

Scarlett had no other option but to go there for an on-site operation. Even though she wasn't sure whether she would find her mother in that small town, she needed to do this.

After a few seconds, Scarlett stammered, "B-Brother Seven, prepare everything. We'll be flying to Longyearbyen, Svalbard tomorrow morning—" Her words took seven aback. This was precisely what he had been about to share with her: the latest information he'd received from Rex, revealing that their target had recently visited Svalbard. He was amazed because Scarlett found the details about Allaistar Parker's destination: Longyearbyen. He knows that town as a small coal-mining town on Spitsbergen Island in Norway's Svalbard archipelago.

With a nod of understanding, Seven reached for his cell phone and called Rex. They need to arrange their trip tomorrow morning.

...

Scarlett immediately switched on her cell phone to notify Xander about her new plans. However, it turned out she'd have to wait, as Xander had messaged her, saying he was already on the plane.

Leaving the computer room, she intended to update her father on the situation. As she exited the computer room, she unexpectedly encountered Albert, her father's butler.

"What's the matter, Uncle Albert?" Scarlett asked, perplexed by his presence on this floor, which was unusual.

"Young Lady, something has happened to Sir Roland—" Albert said with deep concern.

Scarlett's heart raced upon hearing Albert's words. She hurriedly made her way down to her father's room. "What's going on?" she asked as they descended the stairs.

"Young lady, your father was scheduled for a routine check-up with Dr. Lewis a few days ago, but he insisted on flying here. Just a few minutes ago, he had a relapse," explained Albert, his tone filled with worry.

Scarlett didn't utter another word but swiftly entered her father's room. Inside, she found Logan, along with several royal staff members and nurses, all wearing tense expressions. They allowed her into the room and approached the bed. As Scarlett laid eyes on her father lying in bed with a pallid face, her heart sank like a stone hit the ground. Her blood ran cold as she sat on the bed. "F-Father, w-what happened—" Scarlett stammered, her voice catching in her throat as she clutched his hand, and the coldness of her father's hand only heightened her anxiety.

Scarlett had known about her father's illness, but this was the first time she had witnessed her father's illness recurring, making her very worried. Afraid of losing him. Trying to reassure Scarlett, Roland smiled, even though it failed to reach his eyes. "My dear daughter," he said, his voice hoarse and feeble. "I'm alright. This is just a usual... I only need to take my medicine, and it will pass. Don't worry, alright!?"

Scarlett couldn't fully believe her father, seeing the distress across his face. She turned her attention to the nurse standing by the bed. She urgently asked if Grandpa Robert had been contacted, avoiding details about her father's condition.

"My lady, we've attempted to contact him, but he hasn't answered his cell phone. He's likely in the midst of surgery," explained the middle-aged nurse. Scarlett swiftly retrieved her cellphone, accessed a unique app, and entered a series of codes. She used her hacking skills to locate her grandfather and discovered he was indeed in the hospital.

At this moment, she no longer cared about revealing her hacking abilities. She was too afraid that her father's condition would worsen.

After pinpointing Grandpa Robert's location through the hospital's CCTV, Scarlett realized he was in the middle of a surgical procedure. She connected to the speaker in the surgery room. "Grandpa... I apologize for interrupting your surgery, but I need you here in Oslo. It's urgent!" She said while watching the CCTV footage on her cell phone.

Robert's startled expression flashed through his gaze as he looked around and finally noticed the CCTV camera in the corner.

The shock was palpable in the surgery room and Roland's private room when Scarlett demonstrated her ability to hack into the hospital CCTV using her cell phone. In a matter of minutes, she was able to gain access to the system, leaving everyone stunned and bewildered.

...

Robert, recognizing Scarlett's voice, asked, "Scarlett? Is that you? How did you—"

"Grandpa, I'll explain later. Right now, something is wrong with my father," Scarlett's voice trembled. "He's having a relapse. We're in Oslo. If your surgery is over, please call me immediately." She swiftly disconnected, not wishing to waste any more Grandpa Robert's time.

Once Scarlett disconnected the call with Grandpa Robert, she turned her attention back to her father.

"Scarlett, why can't you trust your father? This is a regular occurrence," Roland's voice faltered as he tried to sit up but was interrupted by a cough.

"Milord," Albert said in fright, rushing to help Roland sit comfortably and handing him a glass of water.

After Roland had sipped some water, he signaled for Albert and the rest to exit the room. He wanted a private conversation with his daughter.
