Chief Monroe fell silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "All right. But it must be conducted under surveillance. We'll be monitoring the entire time."

Jane pushed my wheelchair into the adjacent observation room.

Through the one-way glass, I saw Mary and Brandon, each shackled to an interrogation chair.

Mary's face was pale, yet her spine remained rigid and unyielding.

Brandon, on the other hand, looked dark and volatile, struggling constantly against his restraints.

  • Her Unborn Baby's Voice   Chapter 8

    On a bright, sunlit weekend afternoon, Jane pushed me through the hospital garden in a wheelchair.By then, I was already able to walk short distances on my own.We stopped beside a long bench, and she helped me sit down carefully."The air outside feels so good," I said, taking a deep breath and savoring a long-lost sense of peace."Yeah… everything's over now." Jane turned to look at me, her eyes gentle and bright.We sat in silence for a while, enjoying the quiet.Then, as if she had finally made up her mind, she spoke softly, "Jerry, there's something I've been keeping in my heart for a long time."I had a faint sense of what was coming. My heartbeat quickened slightly as I turned to face her."Since college, I've always admired you—your integrity, your talent, your composure."A faint blush rose to her cheeks, but her gaze remained steady."Later, when I found out you and Mary were together, I… I buried those feelings deep down. I just wanted you to be happy."I listene

    That same night, in my hospital room, Mary was escorted in to see me. She dropped to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably."Jerry, I was wrong… I truly didn't know… for the sake of our child…""Our child?" I leaned against the headboard, expressionless. "When you believed that so-called 'voice' and tried to kill me, did you ever think that the child would need a father too?""I… I was deceived…""Deceived?" I let out a cold laugh. "Was three years of marriage not enough for you to know what kind of person I am? Or would you rather believe an outsider?"She choked on her words, unable to respond."Do you remember what you said when we got married? That no matter what happened, you would trust me." I turned my gaze to the window. "And now?""Please… give me another chance…" She crawled forward, reaching for my hand. "For the baby's sake…"I pulled away from her touch."It's precisely for the child's sake that I can't forgive you. A mother who can be so easily misled—and who would f

    Chief Monroe fell silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "All right. But it must be conducted under surveillance.

"What's the matter? Didn't expect me to walk out of that basement alive?"Brandon sneered. "Traitors always have tough lives.""Traitor?" I moved closer slowly. "You mean the one who actually leaked the secrets?

    After forcing myself to recuperate in the hospital for two days, I insisted on being discharged.My body still throbbed with pain, every injury screaming in protest, but time wouldn't wait.Knowing my temperament, Jane ultimately failed to dissuade me. With a reluctant sigh, she handled the temporary discharge procedures and pushed my wheelchair all the way to the Confidential Bureau.As we moved down the long corridor, I could feel eyes on me from every direction.Some were filled with concern. Others with curiosity. And more than a few carried undisguised shock and confusion.Outside the interrogation room, Chief Nicholas Monroe of the disciplinary committee approached with a grave expression. His brows drew tight as he took in my bandage-wrapped body slumped in the wheelchair."Jerry, you really shouldn't be here in your condition."I raised a hand weakly, yet with unmistakable firmness, cutting off his attempt to persuade me."I can manage." My voice was faint but resolute.

  • Her Unborn Baby's Voice   Chapter 4

    The agony and blood loss dragged me into unconsciousness before the ambulance ride was even over. It felt as though I had struggled for ages in an endless abyss of darkness before finally clawing my way back to awareness.The sharp, sterile smell of disinfectant forced its way into my nose. Above me, a white ceiling swayed in and out of focus.I tried to move, only to realize my body was tightly wrapped in thick bandages. A piercing pain shot through my knee and leg wounds. Every breath tugged at the injuries in my chest, a brutal reminder of the nightmare I had just endured."Jerry! You're awake?"A familiar voice, edged with barely concealed urgency, cut through the haze and pulled me fully back to reality. With great effort, I turned my stiff neck and saw Jane Higgins' face, drawn tight with worry.She had been my classmate in college. Now she worked in the Technical Division of the Confidential Bureau, a different department from Mary's Intelligence Operations Division.She r

    Mary's boot slammed hard into my ribs. The impact knocked the breath from my lungs."You want me to violate confidentiality protocols?" she snapped. "Jerry, you've really thought this through, haven't you?"The voice from her womb immediately echoed in agreement:[Bad Daddy is awful! Mommy and Brandon, hurry and teach him a lesson!]Brandon turned to glance at Mary. At her almost imperceptible nod, he swung the electric baton down, striking my temple with brutal force.Warm blood trickled from my forehead. The metallic taste of it spread through my mouth."Confess!" Brandon's blows grew harsher, his voice twisted with excitement. "You're tarnishing Mary's reputation!"Waves of dizziness crashed over me, but I fixed my gaze on Mary."This is abuse of power—extrajudicial torture!" I spat. "You're condemning me based on the voice of an unborn child?"I spat out a mouthful of blood. It landed beside her polished boots."When the truth comes out, none of you will escape!"Mary ge
