Chapter 1252


    He nodded, looked at me with a sparkle in his eyes and he said, "It seems that I don''t know you as


    well as I thought, Miss Reid!"


    I ignored him, brought out a mop from the bathroom and cleaned up the blood on the ground before


    returning to the bedroom to await further news.


    As I went up the stairs, Tobias opened his mouth and spoke, "I have another question. How can you


    be so sure that Hendrix is still alive?"


    Looking back at him, I smiled and said, "Because he is my husband, no one knows him better than I


    do."


    The corners of his mouth twitched. He looked at me, pursed his lips and said, "I don''t want to hear


    you show off your affection. You''d better go back to your bedroom to rest!"


    Back in the bedroom, I looked at the ring on my finger that had never been taken off. In fact, I had


    been shaken once or twice to believe that the body was indeed Hendrix. However, when I saw that


    there was no ring or ring mark on the finger of the body, I realized that it was not my husband.


    Hendrix always wore his ring. Even if the ring was lost, there should be a mark on his finger, but the


    finger of that body was too clean.


    It was so clean that there was no trace of a ring having ever been worn at all.


    The only thing I could do now was to wait quietly for the investigation result from Sheridan, but the


    process of waiting was very torturous. It was impossible to sleep. Lying on the bed, I spent some


    time on my cell phone, but I could hardly bring myself to pay any attention at all.


    I got up and went out of the bedroom. I went downstairs. In the backyard of Tobias'' vi was an


    open-air swimming pool. I walked along the edge of the pool, circling without any purpose. My


    worries were not reduced at all.


    Probably because I was absent-minded, I didn''t notice when Yulia came until she sat in the lounge


    chair by the pool and spoke, "If you''re too bored, I can talk with you!"


    I was a little surprised. When I looked back at her and saw the smile at the corner of her mouth, I


    couldn''t help but be stunned. I asked, "Have you been here for a long time?"


    She nodded and said, "You''ve been walking around in circles. You seem to have encountered some


    difficulties. Would you like to share them with me?"


    I sat down next to her. Looking at her, I said with an air of exhaustion, "Something happened to the


    most important person in my life. I''m waiting for information about him. What about you? Are you


    also sleepless?"


    She smiled faintly and replied, "Well, the process of waiting for news is really terrible. However, you


    can think positively about it. I''ve experienced the same thing as you before. I''d thought of every bad


    oue there could be. I even thought of my funeral in the end."


    Seeing the helplessness on her face, I couldn''t help but ask, "Is it Tobias?"

    She looked sideways at me and was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and asked, "Was it


    that obvious?"


    I thought for a moment and said, "Not at all, I wasn''t sure either. When I first saw you, I thought you


    were too young, and that you were more likely to be his aunt or sister. However, when he brought


    me away angrily, I reached a guess. Nevertheless, I was not sure whether my guess was right or


    not."


    She looked at me and smiled. "I am his mother, a mother he doesn''t want to ept. I can


    understand him. Any mother, if they can''t bring glory to the child, they shouldn''t bring shame to him


    either. However, I failed in both aspects. So, I can understand the reason why he doesn''t want to


    get close to me," she spoke.
