Chapter 725
Since he was in a lot of the footage, John stayed back and waited for the police in case they neededhis testimony. Zack wanted to stay as well, but since it was getting late, John asked him to go back.“You do your stuff.” John patted his back. “There’s a lot of work to do. I can handle this on my own.”
Zack thought about it, then he left with his subordinate. On the other hand, John went around thehouse to have a look. He thought it must have been uninhabited, judging by its stark interiors.
The property manager knew who John was, and he followed him on his tour. “The owner isn’t a local,so he never stayed in this house. According to him, he wasn’t going to rent it out in case it wasdamaged, but the tenant said this house was only used as a warehouse. Since the tenant promised tokeep the place intact and paid a high sum of rent, the owner agreed to rent it out. Understandably, he’sdistraught about this case happening here.”
John smiled. “It’s fine. It’s probably just a peeping tom, so don’t worry too much about it.”
The property manager sighed. He was also upset about this happening in this area, for getting thepolice involved was embarrassing for him. Their company collected a ridiculous amount ofmaintenance fee here, but they failed to keep this place safe. All the homeowners kept lodgingcomplaints after finding out about the case. They were all wealthy people, so the property managerdidn’t want to cross them.
John went around and noticed some cigarette butts on a room’s windowsill. They must have been therefor a while, for they were dried up. John smiled. “Now this is unexpected. Maybe they can help us.”

At the same time, Matilda woke Sophia up and told her about John’s findings. “It’s deserted though.Only some equipment is found.” That was good enough for Sophia. She went out to the yard withMatilda, and Matilda pointed in a direction. “There. The camera in that room was facing us.”
Sophia pursed her lips. That place was exactly the one she told John, and she heaved a sigh of relief.“At least they found it.”
However, Matilda was dissatisfied with the results. “They’re lucky they got away.”
“They won’t be this lucky next time,” Sophia replied slowly. Over the next few days, John wasoverwhelmed with work, and Sophia knew why. His work was intense to begin with, and now he had tolook into her case. Of course he’d be busy, so she only told him about her checkup the night before.John paused. “It’s tomorrow, huh? Sure. I’ll call Zack and ask him to handle the company for a bit.”
“You don’t have to go, really. I can do it myself.”
“No can do.” John lay down and caressed Sophia’s belly. “I have to see what our baby looks like.”
Sophia said nothing. If John had really accepted her offer, she’d be at a loss.
The next morning, John woke up first, and he told Zack to handle the company for a day before comingback to pick out Sophia’s getup for easy checkup. He even matched her shoes for her.
Still sleepy, Sophia turned around and went back to sleep. John went to soak a towel and came back towipe her clean. When she finally woke up, they went to wash up.
