NovelEnglish"I understand what you mean, Mr. Hodds, but I'm more curious about your identity now."
| knew he did not want to answer this question, but the answer mattered a lot to me. The determination in my
eyes showed how unwavering | was.
| would have to think about it for days if anyone aroundtalked toabout Munchkin's custody matters,
needless to say, a stranger who suddenly appeared before my eyes.
"The world of adults is always complicated. We have to understand other people's backgrounds if we're going to
have any dealings with them, not to mention something if it's something as serious as a custody change order. |
believe it'd be better if you could be honest. Mister."
The other party sneered and did not seem to think that I could threaten him. "So what if you learn about my
identity, Mrs. Grant? Will that change your mind?"
"You're a clever man, Mr. Hodds. Since you already know that | won't agree, why waste your time?"

Worried that | was not making myself clear enough, | added, "I'll never sign the agreement before | know who
you are.
Munchkin is my son. | won't push him into a fire pit no matter what."
The other party remained unhurried as he said, "Judging from Munchkin's current condition, you need to know
that it's almost impossible to find a bone marrow that matches him in such a short period of time." He was
remindingbut also sounding like he was threatening me.
"Thanks, Mr. Hodds. | know very well what I'm doing now. If | can't figure out who you are, then | won't put down
my signature on the agreement even at Munchkin's final moments."
Finally, the other party was infuriated. He opened up his clasped hands and clenched the armrests on both sides
of the wheelchair with great force.
"Woman, you'll kill him by doing so!"
| returned the question. "What about you, Mr. Hodds? If you're really Munchkin's family, then you wouldn't be
threateningand including him in the agreement like he's skind of a trade commodity." | was confused as
to why Alex would do this.
If this was an ordinary donor, then it would be reasonable for him to ask for financial compensation. | would
naturally accept his condition.
However, | had my doubts when he brought up Munchkin's guardianship and custody. When | saw the paternity
report that cimmediately afterward, | was even more sure that this matter was not that simple.
How would | have the courage to hand Munchkin over to him under such circumstances?
"Looks like you refuse to compromise, Mrs. Grant."
| saw fury in the other party's eyes.

"That's right. Since neither of us is willing to compromise, | believe there's no need for us to waste each other's
tanymore." | got up quickly and grabbed my purse before walking out of the establishment without looking
back. Rather than wasting each other's time, | should leave as soon as possible to contact the police and Theo.
No one stoppedthis time. The elevator went straight to the first floor. Standing in the crowded street, | finally
felt a trace of security and immediately took out my phone to call Theo.
The call was quickly answered. "Where did you go, Wanda? Why couldn't | call you earlier?"
Theo's anxious tone cfrom the other end of the phone. "I'm okay. What about you?"
Since Alex was in Whaldorf City, | feared that Theo would be set up.
'We were tricked. After checking for hours, we realized that the man isn't Alex Hodds, after all." Theo sounded a
little disappointed.
"Strangely, all the public surveillance cameras captured Alex during this period of time. Chief Royce pulled out
the photos from the database to ask the people in those locations and all of them said they've seen this person."
| thought about it. That was the case in the hospital. Did someone appear in Sea City with Alex's face?
