NovelEnglish"Besides, I've been with you the whole afternoon today. | haven't had tto check my email. Like you, | only
learned about Alex Hodds from the police officers today."
Theo tried to tellthat he was not the one who put the document in Dr. Zac's scrub, but that no longer
mattered.
| lifted my hand and pushed him slightly. | was a little tired, and this was true.
My mind was a mess right now. | had no way of telling if what he said was true or fake.
"I'll rest with you." Theo turned around.
"No, you'll take the couch tonight."
The relaxing scent on him previously had lost its magic now. Taking in his scent now made it hard forto relax.
Perhaps he was right, or maybe he was wrong. Theo knew the truth better than I did.
| was the only one who had no way of knowing the truth about this matter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheo spoke no more and went to the couch as | wished. | returned to the bed alone and lay flat on it, but | could
not relax no matter what. | stroked my abdomen. It seemed like | had never been a qualified mother.
Maybe the affairs during the day had drained me, | started feeling sleepy. However, all kinds of dreams kept
flashing in my mind from tto time.
| was clearly having a rest, but it felt even more tiring than when | was awake.
| was awoken by the sound of a phone vibration. | tried to grab it, only to realize that someone was behind me.
An unfamiliar smell entered my nose.
| shifted my body gently, unsure if Theo was awake or asleep. | merely heard him say, "Lethold you."
The weariness in his voice made it hard for anyone to refute, but the more it was so, the sadder | felt. In the end,
| still could not bring myself to break free from his hold.
| groped around and pulled out my phone from underneath the pillow. It was a text from Chief Royce.
Chief Royce: [We found Alex Hodds]
When | saw the text, | no longer felt sleepy and shifted my body to get up. However, the hold on my waist
tightened even more.
I had no choice but to say, "I need to use the bathroom. I'll be back soon."
It was only then did he let go.
| got up and went to the bathroom to call Chief Royce.
"I'm sorry for interrupting your rest, Mrs. Grant." Chief Royce must have thought that | was awoken by his text.
"It's alright. | couldn't sleep anyway. Can you tellin detail about the text you just sent me?" | went straight to
the point.
Without hesitation, he answered my question.
"Our colleague started tracing Alex after learning about him. In the beginning, our investigation showed that he
had been living abroad and there was nothing strange about him, but just an hour ago, we tracked him in Sea
City."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe paused for quite a while before continuing, "We thought it was just a coincidence at first, but after contacting
the local police, we compared information and found that it was indeed Alex Hodds himself." "What should we do
now?" | asked again.
"As we know too little now, we can't act rashly and can only observe his behavior. If necessary, the officers will
go up to meet him and question him. But for prudent reasons, we must observe him for a few days so as to not
alarm him."
| agreed with what Chief Royce said. Right now, Alex was merely a stranger who matched Munchkin's bone
marrow. We did not know if he was involved in kidnapping Munchkin.
If the police officers acted rashly, the people and affairs related to him would disappear with him. That might
bring even

more danger to Munchkin.
