Theo was telling the truth. Tyler was there withat the time, and Sara soon entered the ward. These were all
proof.
"There's no problem with your wife's alibi. What we need now is your alibi." Chief
Royce did not give Theo a chance to take advantage of the situation and stressed again.
"What do you wantto provide, then?' Theo asked back.
"I may not be the child's biological father, but I've long treated him as my own.
Besides, just one day earlier, my wife found out that she was pregnant but wanted to give up on the child and go

talone to calm myself down?"
Theo spoke my mind exactly.
"If you think I'm the suspect, then please provide evidence from your end."
"If we do, we will." Chief Royce's reply surprised us.
"We always look at the evidence. The evidence isn't favorable to you at the moment. That's why we're

His last statement sent my heart pounding.
"Apart from your alibi, we also need you to explain why there's an email in your inbox that's exactly the sas

What Chief Royce said next leftcompletely in shock. | turned to study Theo's expression again. He did not
refute nor look surprised at all.
He looked over Chief Royce's shoulder at me, a hint of panic in his eyes.
"We checked the examination Dr. Zac performed on Munchkin. He never performed any bone marrow match test

him, but Dr. Wallace did.'
The police officer's words struckin the head like a thunderstorm.
"Dr. Wallace told us that you signed the consent form as a family member."

unusual for him to sit in the hospital garden like
ordinary men to cool off for such a long period of time.
With the email he received that resembled the match report, it was even harder to explain it all.
"Mr. Grant, I'm waiting for your answer," Chief Royce reminded when he noticed Theo's gaze.
"I need to see my lawyer."
Theo did not answer the question, and my eyes turned vacant.
Did he assent to it tacitly?
"Of course. You have the right to remain silent, but until a lawyer comes, you won't be able to leave this room.
The monitor and video recording will be kept on at all times as evidence in court. Please understand that."
