"Who exactly are you?" My tone was starting to sound hostile.

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled and said, "You're really forgetful, Mrs. Grant. Didn't you

already read my bone marrow match report earlier?" My pupils instantly widened. Was this perhaps Alex Hodds?

Why did he givea call?

"Where are you? Is Munchkin with you?"

"Slow down, Mrs. Grant. You're going to frightenlike that." The other party started putting on a show, and

even his speech was leisurely slow.

"I know you must have a lot to askright now. | happen to have things to ask you too. Why don't we find a

tto meet up and I'll answer your questions slowly?" My heart was pounding. "I'm not in Sea City right now."

"What a coincidence.neither." The other party's reply surprised me.

"That was just a rumor. | was trying to keep idle people busy so that they won't interrupt our first meeting."

It seemed like he had planned everything in advance.

| clenched my fists. Alex was much more complicated than | thought. He was able to fool even the police. It

seemed like the police today were not of much use anymore.

I hesitated for a few seconds. "Tand venue.

"| like how straightforward you are, Mrs. Grant."

His compliments did not interestthe slightest.

"Two o'clock. Top floor cafe in Dazzling Tower. TH be waiting." He hung up the phone after saying that.

Dazzling Tower was a famous high-rise building in the city. One could get a bird's eye view of the scenery from

the top floor.

In such an expensive building, someone bought the entire top floor only to open a cafe. Apart from coffee and

desserts, there was nothing else sold there.

Even so, an appointment had to be made at least half a month earlier before going. A seat by the window was

even harder to get.

| glanced at the time, got up from bed, and started packing.

| carefully opened the door of the ward.

Petra and Grayson were not in the living room and were probably resting in another room.

| hurried across the living room and left the ward. When | passed by the nurse, | was discovered by the nurse on

shift." Where are you going, Mrs. Grant?"

"I think it's a little suffocating inside. I'm going to the garden to get sfresh air and sunlight. If my parents

ask aboutlater, ask them to wait forin the ward. I'll be back soon."

The young nurse nodded to show that she had taken a mental note of it.

| did not have a serious disease, so | could walk around freely. However, it would be difficult for them to report it

to their superior if | went out just like that.

Therefore, | lied because | understood that things could get difficult for them and also because | did not want

Petra to worry.

After leaving the hospital, | drove to Dazzling Tower. | arrived half an hour earlier than the appointed time.

However, | could no longer hold myself back. After parking the car, | rushed up to the top floor straight away,

only to be stopped at the door of the cafe. "I'm sorry, Ma'am. The venue's booked for today." | frowned slightly

and was just about to speak when a black-clad man walked toward me. He said to the waiter, "She's my guest."

The waiter put their hands down after hearing what he said.

Alex had booked the entire venue?

| followed him inside. Initially, | thought he had deliberately chosen an ostentatious place to showthat he

was not afraid of the police. Hence, there was no need to run and hide. | did not expect him to book the whole

venue.

The black-clad man ledto the window seat. From a distance, | could see a man of similar age to Theo sitting

at the coffee table, but he looked much sicklier and older.
