After speaking, she took the initiative to hold Sebastian''s arm and said to Ellie, "I''m counting on Sebastian for the rest of my life." Ellie said, "I''m speechless."


    Parents worried when siblings didn''t get along. But in her family, the siblings got along too well, and she worried about that, too.


    Sebastian, mature and steady,forted Ellie, "Mom, you go to bed. Molly and I haven''t seen each other for days; we''ll just chat in the living room for a bit." Ellie fetched a ss of water for Timothy and then went upstairs.


    "Go to bed early." she reminded them as she left.


    After Ellie left, Sebastian pressed on, "Molly, you still haven''t answered me. When you have a boyfriend, will you still want me to go shopping with you?" Molly''s mind worked quickly, and she asked back, "When you have a girlfriend, will you still go shopping with me?"


    Sebastian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "No."


    Molly''s face immediately froze. "I knew it; once you have a wife, you''ll forget about me."


    Sebastian, in a good mood, gave Molly a suggestion. "If you want to be the only one in my heart, do you know what to do?"


    Molly was stunned for a moment. "So, to have your heart all to myself, I should eliminate thepetition, right?"


    Sebastian thought, ''Ah, the delightfully twisted Molly!''


    Molly asked, "But wouldn''t that be illegal?"


    Fortunately, Molly still had some sense and knew it was illegal.


    Before Sebastian could even breathe a sigh of relief, Molly''s peculiar thoughts surfaced. "Sebastian, if I were tomit a crime, would you cover for me?" "Cover for you? I''d feel like I was betraying my profession if I didn''t personally turn you in!" Sebastian teased.


    Molly shrank back in fear. "Then how can I be the only one in your heart?"


    Sebastian looked into her eyes and said, "At every stage of life, be the closest person by my side. Got it?"


    Molly said pitifully, "If I say I understand, you''ll think I''m just saying that to avoid your wrath. But honestly, I don''t quite get it."


    Sebastian was almost furious. "You go back and think about it yourself."


    Sebastian stood up and pulled Molly off the couch. "Go to bed."


    At the bedroom door, Molly suddenly stopped. She grabbed Sebastian''s wrist and seriously asked him, "Sebastian, if I really killed someone, would you really catch me?" Sebastian smiled. "I would cover for you."


    Molly asked, "What about your future?"


    Sebastian replied, "You''re more important."


    After speaking, he opened Molly''s bedroom door, pushed her inside, and closed the door.


    Molly stared at the closed door, a smile spreading across her face. Her eyes crinkled with happiness. "Sebastian, I actually understand what you mean now."


    The next day, Randall returned, yawning and with dark circles under his eyes.


    Vera asked, "Where were you yesterday?"


    "Hospital. Yesterday, Patrick''s kick nearly killed Dn. Now Dn is in the ICU, unconscious. Last night, I went to interrogate Joe."


    Vera quickly poured a ss of water for Randall and hurried over to get the news. "Did you get anything out of him?"


    Randall shrugged. "Nothing. This morning, Sebastian said he''d give it a try."


    Vera nodded. "Interrogation should be left to the professionals. We juste up with ideas and help catch people."


    Randall caught a hint of pride in Vera''s voice and asked, "Are you feeling proud of yourself?"


    Vera, slightly taken aback, replied, "Did Ie off that way?"


    Of course, she was proud. Her idea had "cured" Dn and Joe and revealed the whole truth.


    Last night, she''d given Patrick a ton of advice, to the point where, after dinner and before bed, Patrick had to hold Vera''s mouth shut. "No talking. Go to sleep. Eyes closed." "Where''s Patrick?"


    Vera said, "He must have gone to work. He doesn''t let us y together at home."


    Randall nodded in agreement and took another sip of water. "Patrick is afraid we''ll cause a big mess."


    Vera had a new idea.


    "Randall, I have something for you to do." Vera started nning ahead again.


    Randall saw iting. "I''m out of here."


    Vera grabbed him before he could run. "Come on, let''s go to the backyard."


    Recently, Patrick had been acting mysteriously. Every time Vera tried to ask about the Turner family, he would brush her off.


    Fortunately, Vera had the best source of information.


    Randall was coerced daily. As soon as he learned something, he had to report it to Vera.


    Mollyter went home once and asked about Dn and Joe''s condition. Upon learning how they had treated Cindy, Molly was silent for a long time. Then she asked, "Randall, do ICU patients all have oxygen masks?" Randall was puzzled. "Molly, what are you nning?"


    "If I identally pull out the oxygen tube, it shouldn''t be illegal, right?"


    Vera praised, "Good idea."


    Randall asked, "How would you n to do that?"


    Vera looked at Molly. "Molly, go ahead."


    Molly shook her head. "Okay, I''ll go to Sebastian''s office, learn about some ssic cases, ande back to share with you. We''ll make a perfect n."


    When Sebastian heard Molly''s intention to remove Dn''s oxygen tube and then look for other criminals'' records, he was furious. He paced around his office, pointing at Molly''s face. "He was on the brink of death, and you want to make things worse? Are you trying to get yourself a few prison meals?"


    Molly immediately asked excitedly, "Really, he''s dying?"


    Sebastian added, "Don''t get too happy. He''s in this state because Patrick kicked him."


    When Molly heard it involved Patrick, she wasn''t worried but even happier. "That''s even better!"


    Sebastian was puzzled.


    Molly exined, "If I pull out his oxygen mask now, when the police investigate, they''ll find he died fromck of oxygen, and it won''t be rted to Patrick." Sebastian shouted, "Molly!"


    Later, Sebastian dragged Molly to the Olteran Group and handed her over to Patrick for some serious instruction.


    When Patrick learned what Molly was nning, he merely nced at her.


    Molly, terrified, hid behind Sebastian.


    Sebastian snorted, "What are you hiding for? You were so bold in my office. Why don''t you say it in front of Patrick?" "Patrick, Vera agreed with me too," Molly said.
