    Skr said, “I’m fine.”


    She tried moving a little. Her strength was returning, but with the IV drip still in her arm, she couldn’t


    move too much.


    Joe nced at the IV bag. “About 20 minutes more, and it should be done.”


    Skr nodded, but something suddenly came to mind. She quickly said, “Christopher didn’t just


    randomly decide to kidnap me. Someone must have helped him, or he wouldn’t have been so


    brazen.”


    “The police have already taken Christopher into custody. They’ve been looking into his role in Kenny


    and Maisy’s abduction. And after today, with his attempt to harm you, he’ll spend the rest of his life


    behind bars. I’ve already got Paul investigating who might’ve been helping him,” Joe said softly.


    Skr felt the tension in her chest ease slightly. “Thank you.”

    “He went after my wife. There’s no way I’d let him get away with it. No need to thank me.” Joe’s


    brow furrowed


    The word “wife” made Skr’s heart skip a beat. Maybe the fear from earlier gave her a burst of


    courage, but she found herself asking, “Do you think there’s even a small chance you have feelings


    for me?


    Joe’s expression froze at her question.


    Seeing his silence, Skr felt her heart sink. She shouldn’t have asked.


    Just then, Joe’s phone rang.


    “Say that again,” Joe said, his tone sharpening as he answered. His expression darkened as he


    listened, and then he asked the person on the other end to repeat themselves.


    After a moment, he ended the call and turned to Skr


    She sensed something had gone wrong. She wondered what had happened.


    “Christopher… hemitted suicide in his cell,” Joe said grimly.


    Skr was first taken aback, then she asked in a daze, But there’s no way a jail cell would allow


    someone to kill themselves. How did he manage it?”


    “He suffocated himself with a pillow.” Joe’s voice was t as he delivered the unsettling news.


    Skr fell silent, processing it all. She couldn’t believe Christopher had actually taken his own life.


    Suffocating himself with a pillow took a terrifying amount of resolve. She wondered if he was so


    desperate to avoid facing prison and judgment.


    “The leads Paul was following hit a dead end because of Christopher’s suicide,” Joe said quietly.


    Skr nodded thoughtfully.

    “I’ll have someone keep investigating,” Joe added gently. He noticed the color still hadn’t returned to


    her face:


    Skr looked up at him. There was a trace of exhaustion in his usually sharp andposed


    features, his gaze steady and thoughtful on her.


    Their eyes met, but the distance between them felt vast.


    “No need to investigate further. Even if you do, you likely won’t find much. If someone pushed


    Christopher

    into doing this, they wouldn’t stop at just this. Next time, they won’t be so careless… They’ll leave no


    trace,


    Skr murmured.


    ”


    She had a suspicion. But she knew very well that she couldn’t tell Joe about the person she


    suspected without any evidence.


    Joe simply acknowledged her quietly with a low hum. Then, he said nothing more.


    Ten minutester, he left the ward and stepped into the hallway. He dialed Paul back and


    instructed,” Keep looking into it.”
