Chapter 168 Chapter 168 Sarah motioned forto keep quiet with a finger to her lips, then quickly made her way to the door.

After making sure the coast was clear, she asked, "Are you sure?" I shook my head, then nodded.

"Can't be too sure, but I have this gut feeling it's Galen." This time, I didn't hold back and shared my suspicions about the janitor being Galen Brown.

Sarah wasn't surprised; instead, she nodded in agreement.

"That makes sense. He's been sending stuff from abroad, probably got the addresses mixed up and ended up sending them to my place." "Or maybe he's been using contacts here to ship things back because every time, the evidence arrives with gifts." It didn't take a genius to piece everything together.

But Galen refusing to acknowledgeprobably meant he had unfinished business.

Sarah pondered for a moment before tentatively suggesting, "Should I use Jenny as bait?" "If Jenny shows up at the hospital, he can't possibly ignore his own daughter, right? They haven't seen each other in years." I quickly shook my head.

"No way, your dad's been keeping a close eye on Jenny. We'd blow Galen's cover if we did that." "He's been at the hospital for years, probably digging up sevidence. We can't afford to let him get hurt again." Thinking about the scars on his hands madeshudder.

If Jenny and her mom hadn't left, could it be that their whole family would no longer be here? If everything was as I suspected, and Talbot could go as far as harming his own kin, what's stopping him from hurting a stranger? Sarah slumped into a chair.

"You always think of others, burdening yourself with worries. You're not cut out for heavy responsibilities!" Her words echoed the doctor's. Was I really overthinking? I lowered my head; it was just that my conscience wouldn't allowto act otherwise.

Unexpectedly, Jenny was admitted to the hospital that snight.

She had indulged in a street food binge, and something must have disagreed with her system, leading to food poisoning.

Upon receiving the call, Sarah was about to rush over but then settled back next to Clyde's hospital bed.

"I've got the important task of seducing your husband to attend to; you go take care of Jenny. It's perfect timing." I saw Clyde tug at the blanket with force as I nodded and left the room.

This was a golden opportunity! By the tI arrived at the ward, Jenny looked pale, as if she had lost weight.

"Family member, huh? Kids might not know tter, but adults should Eating all that junk food and now she's ended up with food poisoning, severe diarrhea." "Let's wait for the lab reports to see if there's anything else. Don't leave, alright? Keep an eye on her." I agreed repeatedly and waited for the doctor to leave before approaching the bed.

"Jenny, how are you feeling? Want swarm water?" She turned her head away, refusing to look at me.

Undeterred, I got her a glass of water and watched her drink it before m heaving a sigh of relief. "You don't have to pretend to care, you and your parents are all the same, hypocrites!" She glared atbriefly before covering her head with the blanket.

I stood there, suddenly feeling awkward.

After a moment, I cleared my throat, "I was abroad at the he time, unaware of what was happening with your family."

"If they did something wrong, I apologize on their behalf. Butoan know the kind of people my parents are..." "What kind? The kind that turns their backs on those in need!" Jenny's emotions suddenly flared, and she threw off the blanket, glaring atfiercely.

"Rich enough to send you off to have fun, mut too poor to pay for my treatment. We were X
