"As the child's adoptive mother, Mrs. Grant, aren't you worried about being criticized if something happens to

I nodded. "It should be fine."
In the presidential suite, Alex's body was shaking slightly while sitting in the wheelchair.
After a few minutes, his phone rang. He took a glance, his dark-colored pupils sinking as he pressed the button
to answer the call.
A cheeky voice sounded from the other end of the phone. "How did the discussion go, Alex? The little guy can't
last that long."
"| told you I'll never allow you to hurt other people."
"Are you saying that you have no plans to save this little guy anymore? Such a pity. As his biological uncle, it
seems like you can only watch the little guy take his last breath."
On the phone, the slow ticking of the instrument next to him could still be heard clearly.
"Shut up!" Alex was restrained by his current situation, so naturally, he could not do anything to Simon Hodds
who was on the phone.
"Wanda went to you, right? What was the result of the discussion? Was it what you wanted?" The other party's
tone was filled with mockery.
Alex remained silent and made no reply.
"You're too kind, Alex. We both know that that woman won't hand over custody so easily. If | were you, | would've
killed the couple myself and turned the child into an orphan. It'd be way faster for you to go through the
adoption procedures."
"I don't need you to tellwhat to do!" Alex was itching to crush the man on the phone to pieces.
"Look at you. You put in so much effort to make a paternity test and all for what?
Since you're worried about the little guy too, why don't you accept my conditions? As long as you hand over the

Alex was silent for a very long tbefore slowly saying, "We agreed on three days. Tisn't up yet. I'll contact
you when I've considered it."
After hearing that, the other party seemed to think that victory was in his hands and guffawed. "Of course. I'm
not trying to rush you, Alex. I'm just worried that the little guy won't be able to last till then. Take your tto
consider it. I'm in no hurry."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Alex clenched his phone tightly. His bright pupils earlier were now deep and dark like the night outside the suite.
He needed to get the custody as soon as he
