Chapter 1469


    "Besides, I''ve been with you the whole afternoon today. I haven''t had time to check my email. Like you, I only learned about Alex Hodds from the police officers today."


    Theo tried to tell me that he was not the one who put the document in Dr. Zac''s scrub, but that no longer mattered.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    I lifted my hand and pushed him slightly. I was a little tired, and this was true.


    My mind was a mess right now. I had no way of telling if what he said was true or fake.


    "I''ll rest with you." Theo turned around.


    "No, you''ll take the couch tonight."


    The rxing scent on him previously had lost its magic now. Taking in his scent now made it hard for me to rx.


    Perhaps he was right, or maybe he was wrong. Theo knew the truth better than I did.


    I was the only one who had no way of knowing the truth about this matter.


    Theo spoke no more and went to the couch as I wished. I returned to the bed alone andy t on it, but I could not rx no matter what. I stroked my abdomen. It seemed like I had never been a qualified mother.


    Maybe the affairs during the day had drained me, I started feeling sleepy. However, all kinds of dreams kept shing in my mind from time to time. I was clearly having a rest, but it felt even more tiring than when I was awake.


    I was awoken by the sound of a phone vibration. I tried to grab it, only to realize that someone was behind me. An unfamiliar smell entered my nose.


    I shifted my body gently, unsure if Theo was awake or asleep. I merely heard him say, "Let me hold you."


    The weariness in his voice made it hard for anyone to refute, but the more it was so, the sadder I felt. In the end, I still could not bring myself to break free from his hold.


    I groped around and pulled out my phone from underneath the pillow. It was a text from Chief Royce.


    Chief Royce: [We found Alex Hodds ]


    When I saw the text, I no longer felt sleepy and shifted my body to get up. However, the hold on my waist tightened even more.


    I had no choice but to say, "I need to use the bathroom. I''ll be back soon."


    It was only then did he let go.


    I got up and went to the bathroom to call Chief Royce.


    "I''m sorry for interrupting your rest, Mrs. Grant." Chief Royce must have thought that I was awoken by his text.


    "It''s alright. I couldn''t sleep anyway. Can you tell me in detail about the text you just sent me?" I went straight to the point.


    Without hesitation, he answered my question.


    "Our colleague started tracing Alex after learning about him. In the beginning, our investigation showed that he had been living abroad and there was nothing strange about him, but just an hour ago, we tracked him in Sea City.”


    He paused for quite a while before continuing, "We thought it was just a coincidence at first, but after


    contacting the local police, wepared information and found that it was indeed Alex Hodds himself."


    "What should we do now?" I asked again.


    "As we know too little now, we can''t act rashly and can only observe his behavior. If necessary, the officers will go up to meet him and question him. But for prudent reasons, we


    must observe him for a few days so


    as to not rm him." Content

    I agreed with what Chief Royce said. Right now, Alex was merely a stranger who matched Munchkin''s bone marrow. We did not know if he was involved in kidnapping Munchkin.


    If the police officers acted rashly, the people and affairs rted to him would disappear with him. That might bring even


    more danger to Munchkin.
