As though he could see my doubts, Alex continued, "I believe you have more questions now than before you
came. Why don't we have a chat later?"
He made a gesture to inviteto take a seat. | looked at the folder in my hand and knew that he was
approachingwith ill intentions.
Even if | walked away today, he would still findagain. Besides, he was the only person who knew Munchkin's
whereabouts now. After thinking about it, | sat back down at the table.
After sitting down, | used the agreement he gaveas a shield and secretly took out my phone to send Theo a
text, but the signal on top of the screen kept spinning.
Was there no signal on such high grounds? What was going on?
"By the way, Mrs. Grant, | don't like being interrupted, so | deliberately asked them to block off all cell signals

that | take a few minutes of your time."
| put my phone down angrily. He was doing it on purpose.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Grant. | won't hurt you."
| took a deep breath. Since | was already here, | felt a need to make things clear and must not act on impulse.
| tossed the agreement on the table and did not even bother to look at it. Reading it would only make me
angrier.
When the twas up later, | would like to hear what sort of excuses he would give. How dare he askto give
him Munchkin's custody?
20 minutes felt like 20 hours. When | finally saw the clock pointing to number two, the other party slowly spoke.
"Hello, Mrs. Grant. Letintroduce myself. My nis Alex Hodds, and I'm currently the only person in the
world whose bone marrow matches Munchkin," he emphasized when he introduced himself.
| read the bone marrow match report and knew they matched. To be precise, the bone marrow written on the
report matched Munchkin's.
The police had also read the report when they approached the dean. The dean said that if the data was true, the
person on the report would be someone that could save Munchkin.
However, | could not be sure if this was the man on the report.
"Apart from that, | believe you have many other identities, right, Mr. Hodds?" | asked.
| was very curious what kind of man he was, as not only was he able to easily book the whole top floor of
Dazzling Tower, but he was also able to fool the police.
"My identity isn't important. My body is. My bone marrow can save your child. This is why | cto you today."
The other party clearly did not want to stray too far from the main topic, but | would not believe his bullshit

"1 appreciate your kindness, Mr. Hodds, but unfortunately, | can't even find my child right now. I don't know what
| can do even if you want to save him."
Since he liked beating about the bush so much, | would play this gwith him.
Before knowing who he was and where he was hiding Munchkin, | would not talk nonsense with him.
The other party's mouth twitched. It was not that hard, after all. "Although I don't know where Munchkin is
either, I'll locate him instantly once you sign this agreement. Besides, I'll donate my bone marrow to him
unconditionally as written in the agreement."

"Why are you doing this?" | narrowed my eyes, now knowing what trick the other party was playing at.
