Chapter 392
At that moment, Donnie, who was at work, sent Chad the video footage of the accident site. When he
was opening the video on his phone, Molly was beside his bed sipping on a latte, watching along with
him.
The instant the cars collided, Molly’s heart skipped a beat. Chad, however, zoomed in on the video,
focusing on the eyes of the man wearing a mask.
The day before, he had specifically observed the man’s eyes, but in the video, this man had a large
mole at the corner of his eye.
It was possible that he had intentionally applied it. If he plotted to kill him, he would naturally be fully
prepared and would add other distinguishing features to confuse the viewer. After all, no one would
expose their own characteristics when attempting murder.
Chad covered the man’s mole with his hand, studying his gaze.
Having watched it countless times, Chad’s mind was filled with comparisons of the two people. As a
law enforcement officer, the worst fear was to have a suspect in mind but no evidence to back it up. If
he constantly searched for evidence to prove that the suspect was the culprit, it might lead to
misjudgment.
This time, even Chad felt that something was off. The pair of eyes he saw yesterday and those of the
man in the video, they looked strikingly similar.
Regarding his health, Chad received a full-body examination to make sure he was fine. He planned to
be discharged from the hospital by Monday.
Molly was packing up, preparing for the discharge.
Chad moved aside to make a phone call. He could stay in the hospital for a few more days, but he
insisted on returning to work as soon as possible.
Jose said he was pushing himself too hard, but only as a police officer could Chad find the evidence to
support his suspicions.
On Monday, Chad drove an old car from home to the station. The blemish on his record was cleared,
so he was reinstated.
Brian was still in custody, leaving a heap of troublesome cases for Chad to handle.
Molly also returned to work. Gradually, she became integrated into the company and began to
understand some of the company’s jargon.
After work, she went to her mother’s office. “Mom, I’m going to stay at the Cedillo’s for a couple of
days. When my brother comes home tonight, make sure he gets some rest, okay?”
Coleen nodded in agreement.
Molly took a taxi back to the Cedillo’s. As she walked in, she ran into Mia, who was heavily pregnant.
“You’re back so soon. Did Chad get discharged?”
Molly replied, “He is too hardworking. He went straight to work after being discharged, so I came back.
Mia, where’s dad?”
“I don’t know. You go find out.”
Molly couldn’t be bothered to search, so she let out a loud yell from the living room, “Dad!”
Hansen heard her and responded from the backyard, “I’m here, sweetheart.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Soon after, Molly shrugged at her friend. “How convenient it is to find him. Just shout and you’ll know.”
Mia pointed at her friend. “I’m going to tell my husband that you scared me and my son with your yell.”
In a while, Hansen appeared in the living room. When he saw Molly, he smiled. “My girl is back.” He
then ordered the butler, “Tell the servants to prepare more of Miss’s favorite dishes for tonight.”
It was time for Mia’s prenatal education. She had to brainwash her child and make her baby become a
good baby. After a brief greeting, she left the living room and returned to her bedroom.
In the evening, Andre came home. Seeing his sister at home, he simply greeted her and asked about
Chad’s health before heading upstairs to find his wife.
In the room, the music was on. He didn’t know how the child would react to it, but the child’s mother
had already closed her eyes, dozing off. He turned off the music and laughed at his wife. Even prenatal
education could put her to sleep.
He helped her adjust her sleeping position. At this point, her phone on the table was constantly
vibrating. It was Cooper looking for her. He had sent her many pictures of baby’s toys, asking her to
pick one that would be suitable to give to his nephew.
[Mia, are you blind or did you lose your hands? Reply to my messages when you see them.]
[Mia, you’re not sneaking a peek at your phone during your prenatal education time? Unbelievable!]
Cooper sent another message, [You’re not being hypnotized by the prenatal education and sleeping,
are you? Damn, I give up.]
[You’re really sleeping? How can you be a good mother!]
Thirty minutes had passed.
Cooper kindly reminded her, [Mrs. Cedillo, it’s time to wake up after your prenatal education.]
But alas, Mia was still deep in her dreams.
Cooper was going crazy. [Mia, the store is going to close soon. Help me pick one before you go back to
sleep.]
Cooper was usually more composed than Mia, speaking less and only messaging non-stop when he
was anxious.
Andre picked up the phone and replied, [She is asleep. These jingle toys are for children aged two to
three. Don’t buy any of them.]
[Andre?]
Andre looked at the question mark, feeling puzzled. Who else but him would use Mia’s phone to reply
to her brother’s messages?
Cooper asked the salesperson, pointing to the toys he was interested in. “Hello, what age are these
toys suitable for?”
“We recommend them for children aged two to three. At this age, they are in their exploratory stage.
This dinosaur...”
Cooper couldn’t take in the salesperson’s introduction anymore. He quickly replied to Andre, [Andre,
you’re more reliable than my sister.]
Andre put down the phone, sat by the bed, silently looking at his peacefully sleeping wife. She used to
wear bracelets and necklaces, but they were all removed because of her pregnancy.
Her pregnancy also caused swelling. A while ago, she complained about her ring being too tight, so he
used soap to lubricate her hand and slowly removed her wedding ring. When he took it off, there was a
ring mark on her finger.
Now, the hair tie she used was simple with no decorations. It was just a black band.
Now Mia was simple and plain, without any adornment, but in Andre’s eyes, she was still the most
beautiful woman in this world. While she was asleep, Andre wanted to hug her soft body and kiss her.
She had been complaining that he had lost his passion for her. How could he express his passion for
her when she was pregnant, and how could his passion for her ever fade?
In her sleep, Mia dreamt of a dog licking her, which made her feel sick to her stomach.
Her lips were wet, and in her dream, she felt like throwing up. Her neck was also wet, which felt yucky.
In her dream, she fought with the dog that was trying to get close to her. When she woke up, she felt
exhausted. It was more tiring than having a real fight. She opened her eyes to see her husband by her
side. “Hmm, darling.”
Andre held his wife. His lips were landing on her temple. He showed all his tenderness towards her.
“Little Mia, it’s time to get up.”
After waking up, Mia told her husband about her dream. “I’m exhausted. I just dreamt that a dog was
licking me. In my dream, I was fighting off the dog while holding my big belly.”
Something seemed a bit off to Andre...
“Did that dog lick you somewhere?”
Mia pointed to her mouth, cheeks, and neck, all while shivering and saying, “That dog, it was
particularly ugly.”
When Mia went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and noticed a new love bite on her collarbone, she
stood dumbfounded in front of the mirror, blinking.
Indeed, something did seem a bit off!
