"Hubby," Vivian called out shyly.
Caden Hawthorne lifted his head and looked at Vivian’s flushed cheeks, feeling a wave of tenderness in his heart. He replied with a smile, "Wifey."
Vivian bit her lip and said softly, "You are so good to me."
Caden’s lips curled up, and his eyes were full of love. "You and the baby are my most precious gifts, of course I will treat you well."
He continued to gently apply the pregnancy oil on Vivian, every movement filled with care.
The atmosphere in the room became increasingly warm, as if the chaos outside had nothing to do with them.
Caden gently put down the pregnancy oil in his hand and reached out to hold Vivian’s hand. "Vivian, once this matter is over, we’ll take the baby and see the most beautiful scenery in the world."
Vivian’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, and she nodded slightly. "Yes, I believe that day will come soon."
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps downstairs. The butler came to the door quickly and knocked gently. "Young master, young madam, there’s news."
Caden and Vivian exchanged a glance, and Caden got up to open the door. "What news?"
The butler’s expression was serious. "The police have made a new discovery. They said they’ve found someone who had contact with the mysterious pharmacy during the investigation of the poison source. This person might know some clues about the mastermind behind it."
Caden frowned. "Contact the police immediately; we need to understand the situation as soon as possible."
The butler nodded and went to make arrangements. Caden returned to the room and, seeing Vivian’s worried expression, comforted her: "Don’t worry, maybe this is a breakthrough. We’ll soon find out who’s behind everything and bring peace back."
Vivian tightly held Caden’s hand. "Let’s hope so."
Meanwhile, the police were interrogating the person who had contact with the mysterious pharmacy. This person initially harbored illusions and refused to tell the truth, but under the police’s strong pressure, he finally began to confess some details.
"I just helped someone get some special medicines from that pharmacy, but I don’t know who asked me to. They gave me a lot of money and told me not to ask too many questions," the person said nervously.
The police pressed on. "Did you see any suspicious people or hear any useful information?"
"The person who traded with me wore a black hat, it was a man, very tall, with a cross necklace around his neck, dressed in black. As for what he looked like, I don’t know, he was wearing a mask, only exposing a pair of eyes."
The physical features he provided matched the mysterious person who infiltrated the hospital.
The police immediately launched a further investigation based on these features. They retrieved surveillance footage from around the hospital and the mysterious pharmacy, trying to find the man wearing a black hat, a cross necklace, and dressed in black.
After careful screening, the police finally found footage of a suspected individual in a piece of surveillance video.
The man’s physique and clothing were extremely similar to the witness’s description, and his actions appeared very suspicious, constantly avoiding surveillance cameras.
The police followed this lead and discovered that the man had frequently appeared in some secluded places before and after the incident, seemingly meeting someone in secret.
They intensified their search in these areas, hoping to find more evidence.
At the same time, Caden was also closely monitoring the police investigation progress. He knew this mysterious man was likely the key clue to finding the mastermind.
"We must find this man quickly, we can’t let him escape again," Caden said to Zachary Sutton.
Zachary nodded, "We will fully cooperate with the police’s actions. We’ve tracked down the vehicle that the mysterious man used to escape the hospital, and found it in an abandoned workshop in the suburbs, except the vehicle was destroyed."
Upon hearing this, Caden frowned, "I just feel that things aren’t so simple. Vivian once mentioned, besides Jessica Hart, there was another woman, who exactly is this woman?" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novᴇlfire.net
But the police intervened in the York Family’s investigation and found that the York sisters weren’t lying, and there was no evidence they had any contact with Jessica while she was alive. So how did Jessica’s bank card end up in her bag?
Therefore, all these doubts are so baffling, making it hard to comprehend.
Today marks the seventh day since Jessica Hart’s passing.
They decided to have her body cremated and buried, to finally let her rest in peace.
It rained on the day of the funeral; Jessica’s friends and classmates, as well as colleagues from her company, all came to bid her farewell.
Sean Sinclair hosted a farewell ceremony for Jessica, and her ashes would be sent back to her hometown for burial.
Vivian wore a black long dress and, alongside Caden in a black suit, walked into the mourning hall.
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, the white wreaths and black elegiac couplets intertwined creating a sorrowful ambiance. Vivian looked at Jessica’s portrait, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Although Jessica once hurt her, seeing this outcome now, she couldn’t help but feel sad.
Caden tightly held Vivian’s shoulder, giving her strength and comfort. They walked up to Sean Sinclair and expressed their condolences.
Sean’s face was haggard, his eyes full of guilt. "Vivian, thank you for coming. Jessica... she didn’t deserve this ending."
Vivian said softly, "Sean, don’t be too sad. Hope we find the killer soon, and Jessica can rest in heaven."
Caden also said, "Rest assured! The police will soon find the killer, and Jessica will have a peaceful rest."
Sean nodded slightly, gazing at them gratefully. He bowed deeply, sincerely apologizing, "Vivian, I’m very sorry for the harm I caused you before!"
"Sean Sinclair, it’s all in the past, and I don’t mind anymore. Instead, you should pull yourself together and start anew!"
Vivian smiled with relief; when Sean had cheated, she was a bit angry.
Later, she gradually figured it out, realizing she didn’t love him anyway, and forcing themselves to be together wouldn’t bring happiness to anyone.
Now, she had found her own happiness and had long forgotten about past affairs.
"Vivian, I’m glad you don’t blame me," Sean said, looking at her with deep remorse.
Caden felt Sean’s gaze was too intense, and a sense of danger instantly arose in him.
He quickly wrapped his arm around Vivian’s shoulder, declaring his claim in front of Sean, "Mr. Sinclair, Vivian is now my Mrs. Hawthorne, and she’s doing well, so you can put those guilty feelings aside!"
Sean was slightly taken aback, then gave a bitter smile and nodded. "I know, Mr. Hawthorne, don’t worry. I just wanted to apologize for the past, nothing more."
Vivian looked at the subtle atmosphere between the two men and couldn’t help but smile a bit helplessly. "Alright, today is Jessica’s funeral, let’s not talk about these things. Let Jessica leave peacefully."
The funeral went smoothly, and Jessica’s ashes were transported to her hometown for burial amidst the farewells of everyone.
The rain kept drizzling, as if also mourning Jessica’s passing with a sense of injustice.
