Deep Love Hidden From Him

Chapter 640

Theodore didn't ask any more questions. He stepped on the accelerator and headed back to Ocpeace City. Without resting, he headed straight for the Jenkins family manor.

When they arrived, it was already night. In the living room, Missha was sitting alone on the sofa, holding her phone while speaking fluently in a foreign language.

When she saw Everleigh and Theodore, her eyes lit up and she pointed at her phone, indicating that she was talking about something important.

They sat down on the sofa and listened to her speak.

Looking at Missha's delicate face, somehow, a hint of tenderness was present as well. Everleigh never imagined that her aunt was the one who killed her parents.

Her eyes turned red. She still couldn't believe that her aunt would do such a thing.

After a long while, Missha hung up the phone.

"I'm sorry, Everleigh, I had something important to talk about. I've been talking about it for quite a long time."

"It doesn't matter, Aunt Missha. I came here because I have something to ask you." Everleigh looked at her without any expression, and there were some traces of estrangement in her tone.

Missha listened and was slightly taken aback. "What's the matter?"

"Aunt Missha, what did you wear when you went to the airport that time?"

"What?" Missha was confused. What did she mean by that?

What airport?

"Don't you remember, twenty years ago, when something happened to my father? Didn't you say you were going to the airport?" Everleigh asked again.

Missha understood what she meant, and stared at her sadly.

"Everleigh, are you suspecting me?"

"Aunt Missha, it's not just about you. It could be anyone. I've asked you before and you said you were there. However, I really want to know what you were wearing when you went there. After all, I found a new witness." Everleigh's last sentence sounded a little cold.

Theodore sat next to her while listening. He breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that she would say something inappropriate by mentioning that the witness was Qusay.

Missha frowned instantly. "Everleigh, after all of this, you still doubt me? Let me tell you, yes I was there, but so were others. Why would you suspect me? Do I look like I would kill my own brother?"

Everleigh suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Aunt Missha, why are you so nervous? I just want to make things clear. I have heard from my uncle about how much you respected my father."

Missha did not answer, but looked at her coldly. Sadness could be seen in her eyes, as if she was hurt by Everleigh's words.

However, for Everleigh, that was not the case. She felt that Missha was hiding something from her, based on her reaction.

"Aunt Missha, just so you know, I am not being disrespectful towards you. I didn't have a choice. My parents are dead, and my biggest wish is to find out who killed them. Since this is your answer, I'll ask Aunt Melissa and the others."

"What did your witness say?" Missha asked sharply.

Everleigh was silent for a moment. "My witness said there was a crescent mark on the murderer's neck. He said it was a birthmark. I was also looking for it on you. However, there's no such mark on your neck."

Missha reached out and touched her neck as her eyes became gloomy. "Did your witness say anything else?"

"After saying that, he died. I don't know if God was playing tricks on me. He gave me hope, and then snatched that away from me." Everleigh smiled bitterly.

Theodore observed Missha's expression. There was no emotion in her gaze, and because of this, he felt that there was something wrong with her.

"Aunt, do you know anyone who has a mark on their neck?"

"None of us do, neither Melissa nor Fenna," Missha answered seriously, similar to what Saniogo had said before.

Everleigh, of course, knew that Saniogo had already told Missha everything, and what her aunt just said was to cover up the matter.

"Since it has nothing to do with you, then I will continue to investigate. I believe that I will be able to find the murderer one day, right?" Everleigh turned her head and said seriously.

Missha looked into her eyes and noticed her seriousness. After a long time, she said, "Of course."

"If you say so, I feel a little motivated. Aunt Missha, it's late. We'll be heading back now. You should go to bed early." Everleigh said with a smile. It seemed as if Missha's words made her feel much more relaxed.

"Well, so should you." Missha did not ask them to stay, but saw them off.

After leaving the Jenkins family home, Everleigh and Theodore returned to his villa.

"Everleigh, what did you observe?"

"She is very suspicious. However, regarding the birthmark on the murderer's neck, it doesn't look like Pedro was lying. Theodore, I can't figure it out," she truthfully said what she was thinking at the moment. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He held her hand tightly. "You don't have to think about it. We will find out sooner or later."

"I believe there will be such a day, but I can't imagine how long it will take." She was afraid that she would only know the truth when she was old. What use would it be at that time?

The murderer would probably have been dead for a long time by then.

Theodore turned his head to look at her. Comforting a person with words isn't going to help. It was better for him to wait until there was new evidence.

"Do you still want Missha and Qusay to meet each other?"

"Not yet. I'll tell Elvir first. I don't want to act rashly and alert the enemy. Then, it'll be difficult to handle the situation," Everleigh replied in a cold tone. She almost told Missha who the witness was back there.

"I could see that. That's why I didn't speak. However, your aunt is indeed suspicious. When you said there was a mark on the murderer's neck, she touched her neck subconsciously. Normally, no one would react like that after hearing that."

She carefully recalled and found that it seemed to be the case.

This time, she felt that her heart was really heavy. It turned out that the murderer was really her aunt.

"Go back and rest. Well talk about it tomorrow. You're exhausted."

She nodded and said no more.

She didn't sleep well that night. Her mind was full of thoughts.

She didn't sleep until it was dawn.

The alarm on her phone rang. She opened her eyes in a daze and looked at the time. "Theodore, get up."

He was also very tired after driving the whole day. He slept soundly in the morning, and he didn't wake up.

Only when he heard Everleigh's voice did he wake up. "What time is it?"

"It's almost nine o'clock. I'm going to be late. Hurry up," she said as she dressed while walking out.

When she arrived at the hospital, it was late, but Christopher didn't care. He thought it would take Everleigh a few days to come back. He didn't expect her to come back in just one day.

"Why did you come back so soon? Everything settled?" He asked in surprise.

She spoke while putting on her white coat, "Settled? That wouldn't be possible."

"So how is it now? Tell me." He was getting a little impatient.

If there was anything he could do, he would want to help.

Holding the patient's record book, she paused for a moment and said with a gloomy expression, "There's no result."
