Yvonne furrowed her brows, "Officer, we really aren’t sure. My sister’s bank card was lost long ago; it might have been picked up by someone else, or maybe it was stolen by Jessica Hart!" The officer squinted slightly, scrutinizing Yvonne. "Miss York, this explanation seems a bit far-fetched. We also found some suspicious activities around Miss Yara York before and after the incident. We hope you can cooperate with our investigation and provide truthful accounts." Mr. York’s expression grew even darker, realizing the severity of the situation. "Officer, we will definitely cooperate with the investigation, but I believe my daughter is innocent." "Officer, my sister’s bank card was really lost half a month ago. I accompanied her to the bank to report the loss. If you don’t believe me, you can check the bank’s surveillance footage." Yvonne spoke with sincerity, her words firm and impactful. "Then, Miss York, where were you on October 25th, and what were you doing?" The officer’s gaze fixed on Yvonne, as if seeking out suspicious traces on her face. Yvonne recalled and slowly said, "I remember that day I went shopping with my sister and also sat for a while in a café. The café staff can testify for us." Upon hearing this, the two officers exchanged a glance. Before coming, they had already visited the café where they went, asked the staff there, and retrieved surveillance footage, which indeed matched their story exactly. The officer frowned slightly, lost in thought. Although there were still some doubts with the current evidence, they couldn’t easily dismiss the York sisters’ suspicion either. "Miss York, I hope what you say is the truth. We will continue to investigate, and if we find any concealment or deceit on your part, there will be serious legal consequences." The officer said sternly. Yvonne nodded hurriedly. "Officer, we will definitely cooperate with the investigation, and I hope you can find out the truth soon to clear my sister’s name." Read full story at novelFɪre.net The forensic doctor conducted an autopsy on Jessica Hart’s body, discovering deadly toxins in her blood. This discovery further complicated the case. The police immediately conducted an in-depth analysis of the toxin, trying to trace its source. "This toxin is rare and seems to be specially formulated." The forensic examiner in charge said. Caden Hawthorne nodded slightly, "The mysterious person disguised as a doctor and snuck into the hospital, adding the drug to Jessica Hart’s IV, which should be the toxin you mentioned." Zachary Sutton’s eyes flashed with a hint of guilt, "At that time, Sean Sinclair and I were both in the ward, noticed something unusual, just didn’t expect that he was still lurking in the ward. If we hadn’t left, the mysterious person wouldn’t have succeeded." Caden Hawthorne patted his shoulder and said, "You did very well. Even if you and Sean Sinclair had stayed in the hospital the whole time, they would have found a way to get in and kill to silence. Jessica Hart ended up because of her own actions. If we can’t find the mastermind, I’m worried Vivian might still be in danger." Zachary nodded, his expression serious. "Don’t worry, Master Hawthorne. We will definitely find out the mastermind behind this quickly and protect my sister-in-law." Zachary took his leave and began arranging various investigative tasks. At the same time, the police were also fully tracking the source of the toxin. "Husband, you’re back. Any leads?" Vivian Lynch saw Caden Hawthorne returning and couldn’t help but come downstairs with her pregnant belly. Seeing this, Caden quickly went up to support her, looking at her with concern, "Why did you come down? Can’t you sleep a little longer?" Vivian shook her head, "I’m worried about the progress of the case, can’t sleep. Is there any new lead?" Caden supported Vivian to sit on the sofa and slightly frowned, "The police are currently full force investigating the source of the toxin, but there’s no definitive lead yet. But don’t worry, we will find the mastermind for sure." Vivian sighed, "I hope all this ends soon. I’m really scared." Caden held Vivian’s hand tightly, giving her strength and comfort. "Don’t be afraid, I’m here. I won’t let anyone hurt you and our child." They sat in silence in the living room for a while, the atmosphere somewhat heavy. Vivian suddenly remembered something. "By the way, what about the York sisters? Are they really the culprits?" Caden pondered for a moment and said, "We can’t be sure yet, but they are highly suspicious. The police are still investigating their movements and evidence." Vivian nodded slightly, filled with worry. Just then, the family’s housekeeper came over, respectfully saying to them, "Young master, young mistress, from now on, the young mistress has entered the mid-pregnancy stage and needs stretch mark oil to be applied to prevent the appearance of stretch marks." Hearing this, Vivian couldn’t help but get up and nod slightly, "Okay, I’ll go to the room to apply it now." "The madam has instructed that the young master must personally apply it for the young mistress." The housekeeper smiled and looked at Caden Hawthorne. Caden was slightly taken aback, then revealed a gentle smile. "Okay, I’ll apply it for Vivian." Vivian blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed. "How could I ask you to do that?" Caden gently hugged her waist, "There’s nothing to be embarrassed about; we are husband and wife. Doing this for you is what I’m supposed to do." Hearing this, Vivian’s cheeks turned even redder, and she looked down bashfully. Caden accepted the stretch mark oil handed by the housekeeper and took Vivian’s hand, leading her back to the room on the second floor. Vivian sat nervously on the bed while Caden carefully took out the oil, giving her a gentle smile, "Lie down and take off your clothes." Hearing this, Vivian’s face heated up, "Do I... do I really need to take my clothes off?" "How else can I apply it without taking off clothes?" Caden raised a brow, speaking seriously. Hearing this, Vivian’s voice softened, "Apply... where?" "It should be on the belly!" Caden was also new to this. He wasn’t sure where exactly to apply, but thinking about her pregnancy and the stretch marks, it should be on the belly, right? Vivian bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then slowly lay down on the bed, gently pulling up her top to reveal her slightly rounded belly. Caden looked at the soft skin with tenderness and caution in his eyes. He squeezed some oil onto his hands, warmed it up gently, and then applied it softly on Vivian’s belly. His movements were gentle and slow, as if touching the most precious treasure in the world. "Vivian, I’ll apply it for you every day from now on. I won’t let you have stretch marks." Caden said softly. Vivian watched Caden’s focused look, her heart filled with emotion and warmth. "Husband, thank you." Hearing Vivian call him ’husband’, Caden smiled slightly, "Silly, thank me for what? Just call me ’husband’ more often."
