Carter replied: [According to Lena’s remark, the angle of her injection was from top to bottom. However,most people would do it from bottom to top when self-injecting. Also, the injection site was on her upperarm. It just doesn’t seem right, even though she had a habit of injecting from up to down.]
Keegan frowned: [Why is there no further investigation into this?]
Carted replied: [That’s because no other person’s hair or fingerprints were found at the scene. Herfamily was not bothered to claim her body either. Cases like these usually go unresolved, and youknow it too. Besides, there wasn’t even a suspect involved in this case, and there’s not much theprosecutor can do.]
Keegan pursed his lips without replying. It was terrifying that something was suspicious, but no physicalevidence could be found.
Carter thought about something and sent another text to Keegan: [Oh, by the way, your wife’s disguiselast time was pretty good. I can’t believe you couldn’t recognize her after sitting at the same table for solong. Lena is curious to know her makeup artist, as she wants one of her team members to learn fromthem to improve undercover investigations and avoid being detected.]
Keegan kept quiet.
Stella saw Trevor making a phone call in the lobby, dressed casually in a shirt and trousers as soon asshe entered The Deli. His outfit seemed more relaxed and simple compared to the previous times shehad seen him.
Stella sized him up and realized… that there were indeed some resemblances between them. Shefinally realized why Felicity always used to say that Trevor looked familiar.
As she was still lost in her thoughts, Trevor turned around and walked toward her. Stella tightened hergrip on her bag and stood in place, feeling a little uneasy. However, Trevor gently held her wrist andsaid, “Come with me.”
Stella pursed her lips and followed him like a little kid. After getting into the elevator, Trevor finallyturned to look at her. Stella was wearing a cap and a mask, so he could only see her eyes. However,those eyes were enough to fill Trevor’s heart with a bitter feeling.novelbin
He reached out to gently brushed Stella’s long hair behind her shoulder and said softly, “Grandpa andGrandma can be too friendly sometimes. Just tell me if you feel uncomfortable and want to leave later.I’ll take you home, and they won’t have a problem with it.”
Stella paused and felt a lump in her throat.
She realized that besides Keegan and Rainee, there were still others who still cared about her feelingsand looked forward to reuniting with her.
Suddenly, her heart was filled with warmth as she lowered her gaze. She chuckled and said softly,“Bro, I may not be as chatty as them later, but it doesn’t mean I don’t like them.”
Trevor was taken aback. He smiled and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. “Welcome home,Charmie.”
Stella was taken aback. Then, she softly asked after Trevor let go of her,” Charmie? Is that my originalname?”
Trevor took the gift, which was prepared by Keegan, from Stella’s hand. He spoke warmly, “It’s thenickname Mom gave you back then before we gave you a real name because we didn’t know if youwould be a boy or girl. It would be Charlie if you were a boy.”
As Trevor pondered the past, he couldn’t believe what had happened. Back then, they had lost both themother and the baby. But the real shock came much later when they discovered that the baby had notactually passed away; instead, it had been switched with another.
‘Charmie… What a beautiful name. The Sauns must be looking forward to this child’s arrival.’
They got off the elevator, and Trevor led her to the door of a private room. Then, he knocked on it andpushed it open.
Stella, come on in.” He turned around and said with a smile.
