"I told the doctor to only take 400 ml! How could it be 2,000 ml?" Wendy asked in disbelief, her eyes bloodshot.

"You're lying! You must be lying to me!"

Then, she laughed bitterly and muttered to herself, "I get it now. You're not a real cop. You must be someone Elijah hired to put on an act here. How much did he pay you to stage this? Tell me! How much did he pay you?"

Captain Pugh shook his head and said, "Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. Ms. Lloyd, please come with us to

    Captain Pugh said, "Mr. Clark, you are under investigation for child abuse and murder. Please come with us to the station."Hudson froze, and his eyes immediately turned bloodshot. "What are you talking about? I was just rehearsing a school play with my daughter in the room. Those were just the lines. You must have misheard."In a panic, he turned to Wendy. "Wendy, help me explain. You know I can't even kill a chicken. How could I commit murder? This must be a mistake."Watching him play the innocent victim, Wendy felt nothing but disgust. She had no idea that this man's acting skills were so impressive.At that moment, she realized that he was nothing like me. He wasn't even half as good as me.The thought of me only deepened her hatred."Hudson, how dare you lie to me?" Her voice was icy enough to make him freeze as she reached out and grabbed him by the neck. Hudson's face turned red, and he began to slap her hand away. "L-let go…"It wasn't until others reacted that they m

Ms. Lloyd, please come with us to the station."With that, he pulled out handcuffs and moved to arrest Wendy.Wendy, still in disbelief, struggled fiercely.But Kieran turned pale, as if he had realized something. "Could it be…"Wendy paused, her eyes turning bloodshot with fury. "Kieran, do you know something?"Captain Pugh immediately turned to Kieran and asked, "What do you know?"Kieran bit his lip, stammering as he explained, "O-on the day of the blood draw, Mr. Clark secretly met with the doctor. I happened to pass b

    Seeing the confusion in Terry's eyes, I was momentarily at a loss for words.But soon, Hudson's actions shocked me again.Gracie's silence made his fury boil over. He reached out and viciously pinched the inside of her thigh.As he did so, he said, "Bitch, you're good for nothing! It's been days since I kicked Elijah and that bastard out, and you still haven't won over that idiot Wendy's heart."Didn't you love playing the innocent one? How come you're failing now? If you had made Wendy forget that bastard, I wouldn't be so afraid. It's all your fault. All your fault!"Each time Hudson spoke, he pinched Gracie harder, as if he wanted to vent all his frustration on her.Gracie, however, seemed to have long since grown accustomed to this treatment. She didn't dare fight back.Instead, she lowered her head, not even daring to cry out.Terry couldn't bear to watch any longer. He whispered to me, "Daddy, can you help Gracie?"I asked him, "She just called you a beggar. Aren't you a

    Kieran continued, "They also have some questions about Mr. Heath's body."Wendy lowered her eyes, gazing at Terry, who seemed to have fallen asleep in her arms. Her heart felt like it had been pierced, as if the wind was constantly blowing through a large hole.But reason told her that hiding Terry's cause of death was the only right choice.Hudson quickly added, "Wendy, Kieran's right. Even though you didn't mean for this to happen, the situation is what it is. You need to hide Terry's body now."Wendy stared at him, her voice hoarse as she said, "Hudson, I killed Terry, and now I'm hiding his body. He'll never forgive me."A flash of impatience crossed Hudson's eyes, but he quickly masked it with a forced gentleness. "That's not true. Terry has always been such a sensible child. He'll understand your situation. He won't be angry with you. Trust me, Wendy."Terry curled his lips, and his eyes were filled with disgust. "I'll never forgive her!"But Wendy seemed to have found com

    The day I heard those words, I spent the entire night on the balcony, feeling the wind blow through me.I understood that Wendy didn't love me anymore.As I snapped out of my memories, Wendy was still deep in her sorrow, but Hudson couldn't help himself. "Wendy, what's wrong? Who are you thinking about? Are you thinking about Elijah?"He smiled, but there was a fleeting flash of coldness in his eyes. "Funny, though, with everything happening to Terry, where is Elijah? Even if he's using Terry to fight for your favor, this is going too far."Wendy froze for a moment, then immediately remembered Kieran saying that Terry had fainted in the snow.Her heart skipped a beat.She stood up, pushed Hudson aside, and ran out the door.Hudson was startled by her sudden movement, but she had already rushed downstairs before he could say anything.Frowning, he quickly followed her.When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he was shocked by what he saw.Wendy was almost frantic as she rush

    The chair was violently knocked over, crashing to the ground with a deafening sound.In a panic, Wendy brought the phone to her mouth and demanded, "What rental property? Who are you? This joke has gone too far!"The person on the other end seemed well-acquainted with this kind of situation. Unfazed by her questioning, he replied with cold professionalism, "Ms. Lloyd, please calm down. We're from the Ineford Police Department."An hour ago, we received a report about a strange odor coming from one of your rental properties. When the officers arrived, they discovered the body of a young man who had been dead for three days. After checking his ID, we confirmed the body belonged to your ex-husband, Mr. Elijah Heath."According to neighbors, Mr. Heath was accompanied by a six-year-old boy, who is currently missing. If you have any information, please let us know immediately. Also, if possible, please come to the station to give a statement."Wendy's phone fell to the ground with a lou
