"I know." After combining everything that had happened today, | suddenly understood.
"Alex may not be the person who kidnapped Munchkin, but he certainly has something to do with it."
"Why do you say so?" Theo was curious about the sudden conclusion.
"I met Alex just now." What | said next made Theo even more worried.
"Are you okay? Where are you now?"
"Don't worry, I'm okay. I'm downstairs at Dazzling Tower. Things are a little complicated, though."
On the other end, Theo noticed something amiss and remindedon the phone," You should go back to the
hospital immediately. Don't leave by yourself again. Chief Royce and | will take the earliest flight home."
"Have a safe journey."
"You too."

After hanging up the phone, | immediately returned to the hospital. Surprisingly, | did not hear anything from
Alex on the way.
The more that was the case, the more curious | became.
What was Alex and Munchkin's relationship?
The paternity test did not seem fake, but how could Munchkin be his child?
Did Cecilia actually get them mixed up?
Could Alex be lying to me?
If he was Munchkin's biological father, why did he appear at this moment?
A bunch of questions filled my mind. So many things were going on but | could not make sense of them.
When | returned to the hospital, Petra and Grayson were worried sick and immediately rushed up to me. "Where
did you go, Wanda? Why didn't you tellthat you were going out? | was worried sick." Grayson stood on one
side checkingfrom head to toe for fear that | might be missing a limb or two. "Yeah. We woke up from our
nap and noticed that you were missing. Your mom nearly turned the hospita upside down."
"I'm sorry for making you worry, Mom and Dad. I just felt a little suffocated and went out for a walk."
| did not tell them the truth because | did not want them to worry too.
Shortly after that, Tyler rushed over as well and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw me.
"Where did you go this time, silly girl? | was worried sick when Theo gavea call!" Tyler was already starting
to criticizebefore he even walked through the door. "Do you know that you shouldn't be going places right
now because of your current condition?"
"I'm fine, am | not?" | hid all my worries when | was in front of the elderly and tried my best to pretend like | was
okay.
"Glad you're okay." Petra patted my hand with a worried expression.

"It's getting late, Mom and Dad. You should go hand get srest. Don't worry about sendingdinner
tonight because Theo will be coming back to keepcompany tonight. Get proper rest at htoday."
Petra looked atworriedly. | pointed at Tyler who was next toand said, "Tyler will be here. Don't worry."
Petra wanted to say something else, but Grayson patted her shoulder. "Let's go hfirst. If we keep staying
here, then our child will worry about us and not have enough rest."
Petra finally nodded after thinking that what Grayson said was right.
"I'll go hand make your favorite chicken soup. Have a good rest in the hospital. If you don't like it here, then
chome. I'll keep you company."
| nodded and fought back the tears that were threatening to fall.
After sending the two elderly away, Tyler sat down next to me. "What happened? You may be able to fool them
but not me."
Tyler had not said a word from the moment | said | was fine. It was not because he believed in what | said but «
because he knew that | was hiding something.
