NovelBarSeeing the look on Petra's face, | could not bring myself to make her worry, so | explained to her patiently, "Don't
worry, Mom. I'll be fine. Police found clues. I'm going to find Munchkin with them." "But Theo has already left." |
was just about to leave when Petra's words leftdumbfounded.
Petra quickly explained it to me. "We received a call from Theo this morning. He told us that the police have
found clues, but your health isn't stable, so he urged us to make you stay. He said to leave the matters to him.
He'll find Munchkin for you."
It was only then did I notice that the elderly did not carry any lunch box over, and Petra only had her purse with
her.
They must have rushed over here after receiving news from Theo, which explained why they were in a rush.
| quickly fished out my phone. There was a text from Theo.
[Stay in the hospital. TH bring Munchkin hto you ]
What crazy statement was he making?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe police had merely found clues. How was he supposed to bring him back? Was he going to approach Alex
himself?
This was pure nonsense!
| called Theo's number almost without thinking, but the operator mentioned that the number was not in service,
so | quickly dialed Chief Royce's number too.
After a while, the call was finally answered.
"What is it, Mrs. Grant?" "Is my husband with you?"

My heart that was in my throat earlier had finally eased again.
"Mr. Grant rushed to the police station early this morning to discuss it with us. Considering your current health
condition, he took the initiative by applying to participate in our operation." "Operation?" | heard a keyword and
started feeling anxious.
"Yes. Mr. Grant said he'll do his best to work with us. This is the only and best way he can prove his innocence."
My mouth hung open. | never thought he would do this for me.
There was static coming from the phone, followed by Theo's voice, "Don't worry about me. Take care of yourself.
I'll definitely bring Munchkin back to you."
"Theo, you!" | was both anxious and angry. Before | knew what to say, my tears had already started falling.
"You too." The many things | wanted to say were summarized into a mere sentence.
This was the reason why | did not want to make choices. Both him and Munchkin were equally important to me.
It was too hard to make a decision.
After hanging up the phone, | mockingly thought to myself, 'Is it because I'm pregnant?"
My emotions were unstable, and it seemed like | had lost all ability to reason at spoint.
| looked at the luggage in my hand, then at my anxious parents. | then slowly approached them.
"I'm fine, Mom. | feel at ease knowing Theo is there. Let's go back."
"That's good." Petra finally let out a slight smile after hearing what | said.

think that this was the calm before the storm.
| waited silently until after | finished my lunch. Petra insisted that | take a nap.
Unable to dissuade her, | could only comply.
I lay on the bed, and Petra coveredwith a blanket before leaving the ward.
| closed my eyes and rested my hand on my abdomen, recalling the lullabies of my youth.
At this moment, my phone rang and | grabbed it only to see a string of unfamiliar numbers. It was a local
