"I didn't tell Chief Royce because first of all, I'm not a hundred percent sure. Maybe they can actually find some
clues if they go. Secondly..."
| deliberately made a pause.
"I want to meet Alex alone."
| stood on the sspot and waited for Theo's refusal or maybe even stern prohibition.
He put down the sandwich and slowly got up. "I'll accompany you."
| looked at him with slight shock. On his exhausted face, his eyes were fixed on me.
| was surprised to have obtained his support so effortlessly.
Aren't you going to askwhy?" | asked. "You toldjust now." He was no fool and could easily guess my
thoughts.
| asked again, "Aren't you worried that it's going to be dangerous?"

He smiled slightly. "Why should | be afraid when you're not even afraid? Besides, you'll still go even if I'm afraid."
He heldtight. "I'm not afraid of anything. I'm only afraid of losing you."
| held him back. | knew | had not been acting normally in the past few days and instead like a woman who had
completely lost her mind.
Theo was even more worried about my mental state than he was about Alex.
"I'm sorry for making you worry. I'll maintain a positive state of mind and protect our baby."
| could clearly feel Theo freeze, then he tightened his embrace.
"lI won't let anything happen to the two of you again."
Feeling Theo's strong heartbeat, | felt the strength in my body slowly gathering.
| had always been worried about losing him and had never let him go. Even after | was hurt and forced myself to
forget Theo, | never succeeded.
Thinking about it now, | figured maybe | was too sensitive and not strong enough. | should have trusted him.
"I'll go get changed and go to the hotel with you."
"Okay."
We had beceach other's strength at this moment.
When Theo entered the ward, | picked up my phone. "Let's talk."
One hour later, Theo and | arrived downstairs at Crown Hotel. We took the elevator to the top floor. My heart
remained still as water.
Theo held my hand, the warmth of his palm taking away my worries.
However, as soon as we stepped out of the elevator, two black-clad men walked side by side toward us, facing
Theo and me.
"Please wait here, Mr. Grant. Mr. Hodds said he's unwell and can only receive one guest at a time."
| was puzzled. | thought of the possibility of him denying Theo entry, but | never expected him to receive us

That's too much of a hassle. We're here with the sgoal in mind. Please tell Mr. Hodds that we can go in
together so we won't waste anyone's time." After Theo said so, he and | planned to walk forward. However, the
black-clad men shifted their feet with us, blocking Theo's and my way as before.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Grant. We received orders to allow only one guest to enter. Please don't make things difficult for
us."
"But we're both the child's legal guardians. You must know that the person who enters can't represent both of
our opinions." Theo insisted.
"In that case, are you here to sign the agreement today?" one of the men asked.
| was momentarily speechless and made no reply.
Seeing the poker face on the black-clad
men's faces, | was so angry that | wanted to beat someone up.
| took a deep breath. Though | was angry, | was not worried that a man in a wheelchair like Alex could do «
anything to me.
