Mrs. Doe was perplexed, darting her eyes between the nurse and August. August himself was equally stunned by the nurse's accusations.

He hadn’t even seen Tina for days, and her mother had just called to inform him she was missing. Upon arriving at the hospital, the nurse quickly accused him of taking Tina away earlier.

Was the nurse mistaking August for Jonathan, or was there more to her accusations?

"Are you certain he's the one?" Mrs. Doe asked, her brows knitted in confusion. "You should take a closer look at him. You must have gotten it all confused; maybe the person just had a striking resemblance to him."

“I’m not confused," the nurse said firmly, her expression stern. "I’m certain it’s him. He may have changed out of the black suit he was wearing, but I can still tell. I’d swear on my life that he’s the one who took Tina”.

"What nonsense!" August snapped, his brows knitted in indignation. "How can you claim I'm the one who took her away when I'm equally worried about her whe

    ****“Tina?!” August was startled as he stared at his phone. He became nervous and curious when he found out the caller was Tina.“Where are you, Tina? We are sickly worried about you, thank the almighty you finally called,” August said quickly as he answered the call.But the caller did not say a single word for a few seconds.“Tina, say something already,” he said frustratingly, sensing something was wrong.Hearing August mention Tina’s name several times over the phone, Mrs. Doe's stiffened gesture softened.“Oh my goodness, this man is a professional criminal!” The nurse exclaimed pointing at August. “He’s now trying to fool us with these fake calls and pretend that he doesn’t know anything about your daughter’s whereabouts, meanwhile he’s the real abductor. I can’t wait for the police to come here and take this despicable man away”.Mrs. Doe seemed to believe every word from the nurse’s mouth.
