LOGIN"Heath was caught while fleeing, and Winnie was also arrested."I nodded and had the curtains drawn. "Let's draft the divorce agreement. Isla can't have a mother who breaks the law.""Okay, Mr. Horton."When the divorce papers came through, the case was almost over. All the perpetrators had been arrested.Heath had accepted money from the perpetrators and deliberately destroyed the evidence, so he was sentenced to five years.Winnie helped him handle the aftermath because she was afraid that he would be punished, so she was sentenced to seven years instead.Even until the end, Winnie and I had not exchanged a single word. She contacted me several times through other people, saying she wanted to see me. However, I merely had someone reply that I was busy.In the past, she was busy, and now, I was busy. We were even.…One year later, Isla finally stopped having nightmares after undergoing psychological treatment. The two families held a grand birthday party for her and gave her
"Dr. Steinman, I'm going to kill myself anyway. I just want to hear the truth from you before I die. How did Lisa die?" Ian's tone was calm, no longer carrying the indifference from earlier. He stared directly at Winnie in the video, his eyes as lifeless as a corpse's.Winnie recalled the autopsy report. Her face turned even paler as she opened her mouth several times to speak, but she eventually could not utter a single word.Gloria pushed her several times from behind. "Speak! If you tell the truth, Isla can come back!"Henry was also frustrated. He pointed at her nose, scolding her, "What else do you want? He just wants the truth! What? Is Isla's life not more important than a single word of truth? Look at the countdown—five minutes! "You already delayed it last time. Fortunately, Isla and Calvin are fine. Are you still going to delay and kill them again this time?"Winnie lowered her head and let out a few breaths. Suddenly, she looked to the other side and showed a puzzled
Ian, the serial killer who appeared in a nationwide wanted notice, was dressed sloppily, and his beard covered half of his face. "Dr. Steinman, we finally meet."Anne reached out and turned off the microphone, then she quickly wiped away the tears from her face and said seriously, "The previous live video was fake. This is the real one. Ian never tied Isla to the top floor of this building. He had done it somewhere else. Winnie, buy us some time. I'll check the location."Winnie's mouth was agape as she stared at the crying Isla and Ian in the video.Ian and Isla were not here, but this place really exploded.She suddenly turned on the microphone. "Bastard! My husband has already rushed in to save Isla!"Ian sneered. "I saw. He's just dead. Why panic? My wife is also dead."Winnie instantly fell into despair.Henry and Gloria also heard the news and hurried over. After seeing that Isla was safe, the two prayed to the sky as if they had survived a disaster.Gloria realized belat
Once they got outside, the firefighters threw Winnie to the ground without any mercy and turned back to continue fighting the fire.Winnie lay on the concrete ground with her face pressed against the surface, which was also extremely hot. However, all she could think about was the last time they met, when Calvin held Isla's hand and said they would go to the north for summer vacation.Isla happily bounced around, asking Winnie if she was going too.Calvin stroked Isla's hair while smiling gently and saying that Winnie was busy and would not be able to come. She even praised Calvin for his magnanimity at the time. She was indeed very busy.Heath got into the forensic center through her and was still unfamiliar with the work procedures. She had to keep an eye on him all the time and help him deal with the aftermath. Moreover, he had heart disease. His heart rate would accelerate when something happened. In severe cases, he would have chest pain. She had to take good care of him.
Anne kicked Heath down. "You're still spouting nonsense at this point! We said from the beginning that the kidnapper would kill Isla if Winnie didn't show up. Did you listen? You didn't care about Isla's life at all!"Winnie suddenly came to her senses. She grabbed Gloria's hand. "Mom... It really blew up. Isla... Where's Calvin? I want to see him. Why didn't he say the bomb would really explode? If he had said it earlier... "Gloria forcefully shook her off. She treated Winnie like her enemy at this moment."Calvin didn't tell you? He told you so many times. You never listened! If you had followed Calvin's advice and met the kidnapper, the bomb wouldn't have exploded! All you care about is Heath. You bought a house for him, saved money for him, and you even gave up Isla for him! How could you be so cruel?"Winnie shook her head, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Impossible. Ian specifically asked to see me. I didn't come, so how could it really explode?""He has already killed ten
Third-Person POV:Winnie pushed open the car door and ran a few steps before her knees hit the ground hard.Heath was so scared that he hurried over to help, but she got up and bolted away before he could touch her.The entire street was cordoned off, and fire trucks kept rushing past one after another.By the time Winnie reached the explosion site, a few pathetic streams of water were splattering against the wall, doing barely anything.The bomb really went off.Winnie coughed a few times in the thick smoke and looked around several times, but she could not find Calvin Horton anywhere.Heath came over breathlessly, grabbed her sleeve, and whispered, "Winnie, it's so scary. I think smoke has gotten into my lungs, and my chest hurts so much. I have to go to the hospital..."Winnie irritably searched for Calvin among the crowd while giving a few perfunctory responses. "Then you should go to the hospital first. Be careful on your way there."Heath pursed his lips, his eyes gradua
