Her Precious Baby

The mansion was built halfway up a mountain in the countryside. The area was famous for its beautiful view of the vast ocean behind the mountain.

The people who could afford to stay here were either rich or influential.

I remember Jonathan’s work ID indicated that he’s just an employee from the IT department in a small company. How did he manage to earn so much money?

Her mind was occupied with thoughts of her child, so she didn’t think too much of it. She got out of the car, walked up to the door, and knocked on it.

She didn’t have to wait long before Jonathan answered the door. Seeing the beads of perspiration on her face due to how anxious she was, he led her to the living room without another word.

There was a chubby rural woman tied to a chair in the living room with a piece of cloth shoved in her mouth. Her shrill screams were muffled by the gag, and her eyes were filled with fear.

When Angeline saw the woman, her eyes widened in shock, and her hand flew up to her mouth.

That’s her! She looks exactly like the woman in the picture Joseline had shown me!

Jonathan picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table and approached the woman. He used the blade to casually stroke the side of her cheek.

“Repeat everything you’ve done once more. If you dare to leave even a single detail out, don’t mind me as I slit your throat!”

The middle-aged woman screamed even louder as she shook her head frantically.

Seeing that, Jonathan finally removed the cloth from her mouth.

The woman squeezed her eyes shut and coughed violently.

After catching her breath, she fumbled to explain herself, “I admit that I was the one who took a baby away from the orphanage years ago, but I was just carrying out orders from a man. He gave me a large sum of money to get rid of the child. I was blinded by the money back then. Despite that, I couldn’t bring myself to harm the child, so I sent it to a childless distant relative of mine.”

By now, the woman was trembling all over from how terrified she was, and words eluded her.

Jonathan’s eyes darkened. “I already investigated this. Her distant relative is from her alcoholic father’s side of the family. The timing checks out.”

When Angeline heard his words, her blood started boiling, and her breathing grew laborious. She felt like her heart was being torn to pieces.

It took her a long time before she was able to speak again. “Who was the man who hired you?”

“I don’t remember. I only heard that he… died in a car accident later on.”
