Chapter 612
Once Agnes stepped foot into the hotel, she made a beeline for the elevator.
She had been prepping for today, the day she planned to take Nocturne away.
She had Nate hack into the control system of Caesar International Hospital from afar.
And today, the hospital’s surveillance system was on the fritz.
The tech department of Caesar International Hospital was scrambling to troubleshoot.
But Agnes knew that Nate’s hacking chops wasn’t something you could just fix up easily.
Jared’s engagement party was set up in the banquet hall at the top of the building.
Agnes stopped at the top floor, but didn’t head to the banquet hall.
She took the fire escape straight to the rooftop.
Agnes had been to Caesar Hotel before, so she knew the lay of the land pretty well.
She had previously scoped out the location. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
The rooftop was deserted.
Agnes walked to a suitable spot and pulled out a pair of binoculars.
From her spot, she could see everything happening in the banquet hall through the floor-to-ceiling
windows.
The banquet hall wasn’t far from where she was, just a hallway about a hundred meters long.
Agnes took a look around with her binoculars, there was no sign of Jared.
But she did spot Valeria, dressed in a champagne-colored gown, which was simple yet elegant.
Normally, she always seemed the picture of professionalism.
Today, she looked stunning.
But her demeanor still showed her sharp and efficient character.
It was Jared’s engagement party, but Agnes couldn’t spot Jared at the party.
Agnes was on edge, because according to Nocturne’s location, he was currently in the lounge next to
the banquet hall.
This was the perfect chance for Agnes to whisk Nocturne away.
But the only thing Agnes was unsure of was whether Jared was with Nocturne.
Only when Agnes was sure Jared was in the banquet hall could she go and take Nocturne.
Agnes was standing on the rooftop.
She was monitoring the banquet hall with her binoculars, while keeping an eye on Nocturne's location.
Nocturne’s location in the lounge hadn’t changed at all.
After about half an hour of waiting, Jared finally showed up in the banquet hall.
Decked out in a suit, he looked dashing.
As soon as he entered, he was swarmed by people. Everyone was congratulating him.
The party hadn’t officially started yet. Valeria walked up to Jared and took his arm.
Both of them were holding a glass of champagne.
Agnes saw them clink glasses and exchange a smile, whispering something to each other.
Jared seemed in high spirits, and Valeria looked like a perfect match for him.
People kept coming up to offer their congratulations.
Agnes was feeling a pang in her heart, she didn’t want to see these scenes.
Agnes made a beeline for the lounge, based on the location.
She went through the long hallway. The hallway was crowded, but nobody paid her much mind.
Agnes quietly pushed open the door to the lounge.
Lucky for her, there was no one else in the room.
Nocturne hadn't drifted off to sleep yet, but he was obviously worn out.
Sitting on the sofa, he looked ready to nod off.
Agnes immediately walked over and called out softly, "Noc."
Nocturne lifted his head, and his eyes lit up as soon as he saw it was Agnes, "Mom."
