Chapter 1488


    "Don''t worry, Munchkin will be okay," Theo slowly said.


    I knew he was trying tofort me, but the firmness in his tone could not give me any reassurance at all.


    After all, I did not even know where Munchkin was right now.


    I chose to trust him when it came to love, butmon sense told me that I could only treat his words offort as a lie.


    "Theo, I''d like to visit Cecilia tomorrow." I suddenly did not know what to do. It was useless to keep waiting like that, so I figured I should just visit Cecilia. Maybe I would feel a little better that way.


    Sure. I''ll go there with you tomorrow. It''ste now. Get some rest first." He stroked my abdomen as though reminding me that even though I could stand it, the baby in my belly needed rest.


    I nodded in silence andy on the bed.


    Usually, I would habitually turn my back toward him and press my back against his chest to feel his warmth.


    However, today, I could not help but feel that such a posture would make me realize how empty my arms were.


    In order to get more rest, I rolled over and embraced Theo.


    He was clearly stunned, then gently patted my back and coaxed me to sleep like he was coaxing a child.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    On this night, my mind did not get enough rest as I kept having scattered dreams.


    Sometimes, I would dream of the good times Munchkin and I had together. Sometimes, I dreamt that Munchkin had returned to my side. I would see him when he was still healthy. He even opened his arms and ran toward me.


    Maybe it was because there was something on both of our minds, Theo and I could not stay asleep. Hence, we got up very early and went to the cemetery after having breakfast.


    On the way there, I watched as the sun gradually rose from the edges of the city. However, I could not see hope.


    I was not confident about the things I said to Alexst night. There were many things that were easier said than done.


    When we arrived at the cemetery, I put the fresh flowers I bought on Cecilia''s


    tombstone.


    I shed silent tears when I recalled what had happened previously. Cecilia had done many things for me and asked me for this one favor when she passed away, but Ddid not do it well.


    Theo embraced my shoulders. "This isn''t your fault. Munchkin will be okay."


    I nodded hard and took a deep breath." We''ll definitely find Munchkin."


    Those words seemed to be directed to Cecilia, but I was saying it more for myself.


    On our way back, not only did I not feel calmer, but I grew even more anxious.


    Alex had not contacted me sincest night.


    I could not help but think about what I should do if ced a wrong bet and Alex actually did not care about Munchkin''s life. As I looked out the window in a daze, I suddenly felt the car swaying. I came back to my only to


    senses and looked ahead,


    see two Chevrolet Suburban driving head-on from the oppositene.


    The road to the cemetery consisted of only twones. We had no way out.


    Obviously, someone was targeting us.


    "Sit tight," Theo said to me.


    I clenched the handle, and a split secondter, Theo steered the steering wheel directly and turned the car around.


    We did not know who theer


    was, but I could tell that the cars were special models used by international police. Under such circumstances, our family car would have no chance of winning against them if we collided. Content belongs

    Shortly after that, another car whizzed past our side and drove in front of us. Another car came up and tailgated us. Like a sandwich, Theo and I were sandwiched between two SUVs.


    Just as Theo wanted to take the opportunity to move to the nextne, the third SUV came forward in time to block the gap.


    Now, we were surrounded. The speed of our car was controlled by the cars in front and behind us.


    Just then, the window of the car next us rolled down slowly. A man in a silver suit poked his head out. "Mr. and Mrs. Grant, let''s talk."
