Chapter 1468
I wasughing almost insanely and turned to look at Theo. "If you could''ve been just a bit more patient and nned things out properly, you would''ve taken Munchkin away secretly or had the doctor tell me that he''s dead. Perhaps I may not have had the chance to call the police at all."
I widened my eyes as if questioning why he was not a little more ruthless.
"That way, the police wouldn''t have to investigate so many things and your n would''ve seeded. Wouldn''t that have been better?"
Theo took a deep breath. He did not refute my statement and merely exhaled slowly.
I could tell that he was furious right now, but I could not distinguish if he was actually mad because I had used him, or if it was because the police had investigated so many things and exposed his tricks too soon.
His clenched fists slowly loosened. He held my shoulder and said, "There''s a misunderstanding here, Wanda. I can exin. Mywyer came just now, and I''ve already cleared the air with Chief Royce and his colleagues. I rushed back because I was afraid that you might get the wrong idea. Are you not going to give me a chance to exin and decide right away that I''m the person who stole Munchkin away?"
I looked fixedly at him, hoping in my heart that all of this was just a lie. I did not want to choose between him and Munchkin.
However, his long departure andck of exnation in front of Chief Royce earlier had caused me to lose hope.
Not to mention he had asked the dean of the hospital to perform a bone marrow match test for Munchkin without telling me. How could I forgive him so easily and believe a word he said?
"When I learned about Munchkin''s illness, my first reaction was to quickly find a hospital to treat him. I know that as a mother, you''d be heartbroken, but this is the best way to save him."
I knew I hesitated back then because first of all, I was afraid. Second of all, I did not want Munchkin to suffer at such a young age.
I could not bring myself to do it, so all I could think of was to use the simplest and least painful way to treat him.
However, I had already figured things out the night before. I just did not have the time to discuss it with Theo as there were many friends who came to visit in the morning.
He continued to exin, "So I
contacted the dean and asked him to arrange a bone marrow match test for Munchkin. After getting the report, asked Keith to locate abone marrow match worldwide. I did all this to save Munchkin."
Theo''s eyes revealed his sincerity as well as determination, but because he had previously kept this from me, his eyes could not win my trust.
"You said you did it to save Munchkin, so why couldn''t you inform me? If the police hadn''t found out about it today, how long were you nning to keep it from me?
Until Munchkin went for a bone marrow transnt?"
After hearing what I said, Theo thought I was no longer angry and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was worried that you''d think too much. You have too many things to consider. I was afraid of letting your hopes down."
Theo paused for a moment and
continued," Munchkin''s leukemia is
acute, and there''s a low chance of finding a match in a short period of time. Even if I widened my search worldwide, I may not necessarily find it either. I didn''t expect ite be
So soon this time, but it was the police who informed us first."
Theo was really surprised by it too.
"If it weren''t for Chief Royce''s investigation, I nned to tell you after finding Munchkin a bone marrow match."
I understood what he meant. That way, I would have high hopes knowing that
Munchkin would be cured.

I listened to everything he said yet did not know whether to believe him or not.
