Chapter 228: Over with Martin Mo
I went to the restaurant first and ordered a cup of hot water to warm me up before Martin Mo arrived.
The weather was still showing no signs of warming up in the North Side, and my hands were so cold that it took holding a mug of hot water to warm them up.
I looked at the place where Nancy Richter was killed, and her blood-covered face surfaced clearly in my mind again that night, and even every word she said and her agonized expression were so clear.
The look of terror in her eyes when the man in the mask appeared behind me was also vivid.
She was already dying, but she pushed me away at that time, it was her subconscious action, just because of this one move of hers, even how unpleasant the previous row was, it was all put down.
Just when I was in deep thought, a hand suddenly rested on my shoulder, I was startled for a moment, my nerves tensed up in that instant, I twisted my head, my eyes stared at that bony knuckle that was the hand, and instantly overlapped with the hand in my mind that night that the murderer’s hand held a syringe and stabbed it into my veins.
Instantly my blood flowed backwards, and I felt chilled to the bone even though there was clearly no wind and the heater was on in the restaurant.
“Alva.”
Martin Mo walks up to me and sits down across from me, he’s in a good mood with a smile on his face, “There was a bit of traffic on the road just now, I’ll order what you want to eat.”
I stared at him, not speaking or moving, it was like I was frozen.
“Alva?” called Martin Mo to me again.
My eyes rolled back into my head and I put both hands under the table and squeezed them uneasily, “Any of it, just order whatever you want.”
In order to ease my nervousness, I hastily took a sip of water to ease my nerves.
Martin Mo is a good at reading people, naturally saw my uneasiness, the sword eyebrow cold frown: “You’re not feeling well?”
“No.” I shook my head, “You order, I’m still a little hungry.”
He no longer pressed, let the waiter bring the menu, ordered a few signature dishes, and carefully instructed the waiter that some condiments that pregnant women can’t eat can’t be added.
I hold my glass of water and take a sip at the thought that just flashed through my mind.
“Alva, are you thirsty?”
“Yeah.” I try not to move, “Breakfast was a little salty.”
“How are you doing at the Hill family and how is Jane Hasis treating you?”
“Not bad.” I asked him, “How about you, how are you and sis preparing for pregnancy?”
“It’s a matter of fate.” His answer was more or less the same as Hillie’s.
I couldn’t help but think of what Jane Hasis said, could it be that these two people really didn’t share a room?
Hill Yi is a person with a soft appearance but strong endurance, she moved on to Martin Mo and became his wife, moreover, she knows that the marriage between the two is not because of affection, Martin Mo cold-shouldered her, she will not resist.
“Also.” I no longer pursue the question.
The dishes were quickly brought up one by one.
I looked toward the place where Nancy Richter was murdered and said, “Almost five months have passed since Nancy Richter was murdered, the murderer has not been caught, I don’t know when Yao Mubai will be able to solve the case.”
Martin Mo followed my gaze, his voice deep, “Some cases may not be solved for ten or twenty years, but with me here, you are safe if the police don’t have enough evidence.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m not worried about my safety.” I looked at him, pursed my lips and said, “The murderer is so cruel, in case he commits another crime again and goes after someone else, isn’t that another human life, Yao Mubai talked to me, according to him, the murderer is very skillful in his modus operandi, he’s a recidivist, and he’s extremely cruel, which means that there must be something wrong with him in his heart, and this kind of person is very dangerous.”
These words are all made up by me, just to test Martin Mo.
Upon hearing this, Martin Mo’s action of clamping the vegetables gave a start, “Yao Mubai told you so? There is progress in the case?”
“Well, he said it himself, I don’t know if there is any progress, I am the suspect in this case, Yao Mubai won’t tell me even if he has any discovery.” I said, “Nancy Richter died too tragically, she is Walker Richter’s sister, Walker Richter is also very close to Yao’s family, I heard from Wang Yuan the other day that Yao Mubai went to a certain university to hire a professor, and I heard that this professor will do psychological profiling, and based on the scene of the crime and the dead person, he will be able to paint the general characteristics of the murderer, narrow down the suspect, and then find the murderer. Narrowing down the suspects so as to find the murderer.”
“Psychological profiler?” Martin Mo’s tone of contempt: “This kind of is bluffing, where would someone know who committed the crime through the scene of the crime, if this is the case, then the country’s annual crime solving rate would not be only twenty percent, I think Yao Mubai is out of ideas, in order to keep his position to come up with a way.”
Martin Mo’s contemptuous tone carried a few points of conceit.
He looked down on Yao Mubai and didn’t believe Yao Mubai could apprehend the murderer.
“I thought you would be as desperate as I am for the police to solve this case and clear my suspicion.”
Martin Mo’s eyelids lifted, his deep eyes gazing at me, abruptly smiling, “Of course I hope to solve the case as soon as possible and clear your name.”
I didn’t say anything, a simple two-sentence test, I was already afraid.
Martin Mo gave me food and told me to eat more so that the child would also have nutrition.
I heard Fiona Croix say, when Martin Mo sent me to the hospital, the doctor recommended terminating the pregnancy, it was Martin Mo who insisted that the doctor keep the adult and child together, or else demolish the hospital, so that the child and I would have a chance to survive.
I stared at the dishes in the bowl without looking at Martin Mo, and said softly, “Martin Mo, you saved my life and the child’s life, this favor can’t be repaid by a word of thanks, I owe you this favor, even if it takes my life, I’m willing.”
If there really is a day when Nancy Richter is really killed by Martin Mo, then use my life to pay for it.
As smart as Martin Mo, the words have been said to this point, if he still did not notice the difference, then it is not him.
Martin Mo’s eyebrows pressed: ”Alva, are you hiding something from me? Is someone telling you something.”
“It doesn’t matter who said what anymore, nor does the truth.” I looked over at him, my tone despondent, “I remember you once said you wanted to go back to the days of the orphanage, and why wouldn’t I want to, back then we were scared of nothing and said whatever we had to say, unlike now, it’s all changed.”
Martin Mo panicked a little.
“Alva, no matter what I’ve become, I’m still the same Martin Mo who swore to protect you for the rest of your life back at the orphanage.”
I smiled and said nothing more.
After we ate, I asked Martin Mo to drive me back, and on the way, we didn’t say anything to each other either.
That layer of windowpaper neither of us wanted to pierce.
I only let him walk me to the door, and I went in by myself with my cane.
Frank Hill, who hadn’t been back for a long time, suddenly came back. Jane Hasis had a cold face, but her eyes were shining, and Frank Hill’s return made her very happy.
Jane Hasis is also a poor man in her marriage.
I went to my room to rest and did not come out until supper.
Frank Hill also stayed for dinner, and my return made him a little relieved, “Alva, take good care of your fetus at home, just ask for whatever you want to eat or buy, this is your home.”
I’ve been back for so long before Frank Hill came to say something like this, he hasn’t changed as before, hypocritical.
I kept my head down and ate without saying anything.
Frank Hill added with slight regret, “It would have been nice if Bella was there too.”
With that he glanced at Jane Hasis, his expression cold for a few moments, tinged with resentment.
For Jane Hasis took Bella Hill’s kidney, Frank Hill is resentful, but to say how much he loves Bella Hill’s daughter, after Bella Hill’s mental disorder was taken back by Ulysses Will, he did not go to visit her once.
the Hill family’s affection was mouthfuls, thinner than paper.
“I’m done eating.” I didn’t want to see Frank Hill’s hypocritical face again and got up with my cane.
“You’ve only eaten as much as this and you’re full, eat some more.” Jane Hasis hastened to say, “The soup that was also made for you in the kitchen hasn’t been drunk yet.”
“You guys drink it.”
I didn’t bother to see what expression the two had on their faces and went straight to my room.
It wasn’t long before I heard Frank Hill arguing with Jane Hasis, and in the midst of the cursing, Frank Hill drove off.
Later that night, Jane Hasis was drinking again in the living room and finally had an emotional breakdown and cried so hard I could hear it from my room.
As she cried, she berated Hilli’s mother’s lover.
Lover is a touchy word and made me think of what Fiona Croix said.
Walker Richter has a wife, and even if I get better, I’m just a lover who can’t see the light of day.
I rubbed my high belly and suddenly felt all the bitterness in my throat.
My stomach is getting bigger and bigger, it is more difficult for me to move around, and I no longer go out. Since I had that meal with Martin Mo, neither of us has contacted anyone.
Yao Mubai saw that I had been uncooperative, and also died, did not start from me again.
Walker Richter woke up after three months of coma, the news was told to me by Yao Mulong, and with a message that Walker Richter wanted to see me.
I was very surprised, and I couldn’t stop feeling happy and mixed emotions at the same time.
This complex mood to the Walker Richter ward door, the only thing left is trepidation.
