NovelEnglishChapter 63 063 Victim Or Criminal Sebastian's POV To think that he might really know my wife better than I do is the worst feeling in the world. It's like the most intimate corner of my heart is stained by another man, like untouched snow with an ugly, foreign footprint.
"You-" "He's here," Adrian cutsoff, pulling up the car before he jumps off. I have to follow.
We arrived at the building of Aurora's apartment, and she was standing right in front. of it, talking to a tall guy. The guy has soft, blonde hair. His figure is bulky with clear muscles under his police short sleeves. But when he turns around to us, his round chin instantly lights up a flare in the back of my head- The Three Musketeers! Not the book. It was us! I used to play fencing with Adrian. We met another boy at the fencing class and we becfriends first, and later "the three musketeers“. It was decades ago though. I was only around ten when I dropped fencing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI wanted to keep visiting Ava, so I begged Granny to quit fencing and play football instead, with Gabriel.
I remained friends with Adrian because our families are close, too. But that boy I forgot. He wasn't in the sschool with us. I can't believe I forgot him. I didn't even recognize him even though we spent another four years at the suniversity! I begin to see Adrian's point. I have given up a lot for Ava.
"How's it going, J?" Adrian walks up, I follow and reach out for a handshake, too. Shootinga weird glance, Jeremy took my hand out of politeness.
"I have pulled up the security footage," Jeremy hands Adrian a tablet, the security footage is playing, "I saw your car, and Miss Scarlett Fuller did enter. It recorded your leaving, and soon after, she cout on her own and left." I don't want to get into whatever happened betweenand Jeremy, but I really want to see the footage. I glance in Adrian's direction, and Jeremy's eyes followstightly with alert in there. He doesn't wantto see. "Can I take a look?" I clear my throat and ask Adrian out loud, "She's my wife and I +25 BONUS 063 Victim Di Criminal know her well. If there is anything wrong with her, maybe I can tell." Jeremy raises his eyebrows in shock, and shooting a glare over, Adrian turns the tablet in my direction. I ignore them and focus on the nebulous footage.
Scar looks fine. No one followed her out and she doesn't seem to be under duress. She looks calm, and impatient though. The slook she has been givingthese days. So she left of her own will, to meet with someone she didn't want to meet.
The idea that I'm now on the list of people that she doesn't want to see spread a sour taste in my mouth, but then it hits me- Could it be Ava that she was out to meet? That would make sense though! Scar is friendly to everyone. Granny, my secretary, my friends, and her friends. The only people she ever showed a sour attitude to was Ava, Gabriel and his gang. Now it includes me, but I know I didn't do anything last night.
And from Gabriel's attitude, he wasn't involved in whatever happened last night. Or he would at least have sidea about Ava's whereabouts.
Only one way for Ava to get Scar out, and that's a way we can check- I turn to Jeremy: "Can you pull up Scar's phone record? Hopefully texts. Scar is highly likely out to see Ava, or she thought she was. She prefers text over social media, and if there was a text then- Jeremy frowns. Pulling up phone records is not easy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I think someone lured Scar out in Ava's name," I turn to Adrian. I can't persuade Jeremy, but Adrian cares about Scar, and that much I trust him, "She only wears that look when Ava is involved in any way. Maybe someone used Jack's nand summoned Scar for a blood transfusion!" "What blood transfusion?” Jeremy asks, confused.
Adrian's eyes turned cold when I mentioned a blood transfusion. Of course he knew. Scar never even told Aurora about it, but I don't doubt Adrian knows about it in detail, maybe even including Ava's bone marrow donation. After all, they are not exactly secrets.
"I'll explain later," Adrian tells Jeremy in a sullen tone, "He can be right about why Scardeft hwillingly, and we need to look into it, if Ava Fuller really is missing. too." +25 BONUS Petit Or Criminal Jeremy glances at us both before he turns and waves over a police officer, giving orders.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I block Adrian when he follows m Jeremy "You think I'd joke about Ava being missing? She is in a higher danger than Scar right now and-" "Have it ever occurred to you," Adrain cutsoff, his tone colder than ever, "that Ava might not be a second victim in this case, but the criminal?"
