He was still holding Cameron as he blinked and nodded at her as if to say, It doesn’t matter.I don’t mind.
“Thank you for taking care of my son,” he said in a way that didn’t sound awkward as if he were just letting nature take its course.
“I’ll get his identification papers sorted out.”
After saying this, he carried Cameron and turned to leave.
“Edmund!”
Elspeth couldn’t help but shout his name.
“It’s fine,” he reassured her and then left.
In contrast, she and Callum were relieved to learn that Cameron was Safe with Edmund.
Even though they were relieved, they weren’t completely at ease.
The child was Callum’s, and they couldn’t figure out why Edmund appeared out of the blue and chose to claim the boy as his.
Edmund was single and had not yet met the love of his life.
Now that he had a son, it would undoubtedly affect his love life.
There wouldn’t be much of an issue if he didn’t get married, but if he did, there was a chance that his future wife might not be pleased with Cameron’s existence.
Still, why wouldn’t Edmund get married? Callum finally broke the silence after a long time.
“His feelings for you must be so deep that he’s willing to make such a sacrifice.”
My brother’s feelings for her are so strong and unwavering that he is willing to adopt my son so that she can have a blissful, unaffected marriage.
Elspeth shook her head in response.
“I don’t think that’s the case.”
After hearing that, he looked slightly perplexed.
“He looks up to you as his older brother and admires you, so he’s willing to deal with this troubling matter on your behalf.”
She knew that there had to be a reason why Edmund was willing to adopt Cameron and that it could not be a unilateral decision.
After that, Elspeth and Callum stared at one another in silence while their eyes began to mist.
Then, she took a deep breath to keep her tears at bay.
“Anyway, our main goal now is to find Joella’s killer.I have a suspect in mind.”
Alf this time, Joella hid out of sight, not from her debt collectors, but from someone else.
I looked into her background and discovered she had no financial obligations.
Hence, I believe Yena is the only person who harbors a grudge against her.
However, why would she only lf Joella and spare Cameron? From what we knew about Yena, she would not want this boy to live, given that he is Callum’s child.
When he heard that, he pondered for a while.
“If she is responsible for Joella’s death, she will not readily admit it.”
After that, Elspeth stated solemnly, “She’s a lunatic.There’s no telling what other ludicrous things she’ll be doing now that she’s back.”
This time, Joella is the target; who will be the next victim? “She’ll go to any length to get what she wants.
Joella refused to cooperate with her, and she took Joella’s life.”
Callum was aware of what she had mentioned, and he contemplated.
Now that Yena is in charge of Alphascape Group, she is extremely cautious about leaving behind any traces of her involvement.
Therefore, she would have had her subordinates perform the dirty work.
Even if we did find the person responsible for Joella’s death, that person would only serve as a scapegoat.
This situation eventually made both of them feel exasperated.
On the other hand, Harper had rushed to the hospital, where he saw the couple standing in the lobby and approached them.
Then, he lowered his voice and said, “I’m here, Miss Elspeth.Where’s the child you mentioned to me?”
Soon, his voice drew the two of them out of their thoughts.
After that, Elspeth flashed him a weak smile.
“Everything’s fine now.You don’t need to take care of the child anymore.”
Although he had no idea what had occurred, he was relieved to learn that the matter had been resolved.
“Then, why do you still appear preoccupied?”
“This is because we lack the means to make the true perpetrator pay for the crime.”
She had earlier promised Cameron and was resolved to uphold her end of the bargain.
“Oh.By the way, I’ve looked into the incident you asked me to investigate.”
Harper noticed that Elspeth’s expression was slightly grim, so he chose his words carefully.
“Joella got into an accident while on the way to the airport, but the other vehicle was a truck without a license plate.According to the eyewitnesses, the truck was empty too.It means that the driver fled the truck before the crash.”
“What about the nearby surveillance cameras? Have you looked into the footage yet?” He shook his head in response.
“For some reason, all the surveillance cameras along that road were down during that time.”
“Without the surveillance footage, does that mean there’s no way to identify the perpetrator?”
After hearing that, Harper sighed.
“Not quite.It means solid evidence will be hard to come by, and even if you do, it won’t amount to much.Also, we won’t be able to link it to the mastermind behind it.”
At that moment, Elspeth felt despondent after hearing what he had reported.
“All right.You should head back to the company if there’s nothing else.”
“Miss Elspeth, I came across one useful piece of information.”
“What is it?”
“The driver’s last known location was a cafe near Alphascape Group.”
When she heard that, her expression hardened.
“I see.”
Meanwhile, at Alphascape Group, Yena was sitting on the couch leisurely reading the newspaper when her office door was forcibly pushed open.So, she turned around nonchalantly as if she had anticipated this.
At that moment, her assistant stood at the door looking slightly flustered.
“Miss Hallaway, I tried to stop her, but she refused to cooperate.”
Yena saw Elspeth standing grimly at the door, and the sight of her made Yena happier than she’d ever been.
