Chapter 1014: The Bodies Were Found

Back in the car, Jared grabbed a thin blanket and draped it over Tina's legs. She reached out to take it, her fair wrist exposed.

Jared's gaze was caught by a hint of red, and he smiled as he asked, "Who gave it to you?"

Tina thought of the faces of the two children earlier and curved her lips slightly. "Kiki and Mimi."

Jared nodded, holding her hand with a smile. "Scarlett put some thought into it."

Tina froze for a moment.

Jared continued, "Peachwood wards off evil. Scarlett has been through this herself and probably guessed that we were hiding the pregnancy. She must have used the kids as

a way to avoid burdening you psychologically."

Tina narrowed her eyes, looking at Jared in shock.

Had he been following her earlier?

Jared seemed to read her thoughts and chuckled as he revealed the truth. "This is a talisman that a master blessed. I saw it when I went to request another charm for protection."

"A talisman?"

Tina didn't know what to say.

How much had Jared been hiding from her? It seemed every casual question revealed something new she wasn't aware of.

Jared pressed his lips together, avoiding further explanation. Instead, he gently wrapped his arm around her and spoke softly, "I sewed it into the corner of your clothes. You don't need to think about it-it's just what the master suggested."

Tina was speechless.

Did Jared really have to be this cautious? He was even starting to believe in the master's words?

As the car drove back, they finally reached their shared home.

Nathan was waiting outside since he still had to stop by the station later.

The moment they entered the house, Jared scooped Tina up in his arms and carried her directly to the bed. He said it was because he would be brewing some herbal medicine soon, and he didn't want her to smell it and feel nauseous.

He felt more at ease with her lying down.

Seeing how Jared, even at this point, insisted on making her herbal medicine, Tina couldn't help but feel a bit stunned. "Uncle, don't you have a report to file with the higher-ups?"

Jared rolled up his sleeves and began preparing the medicine. "It's not urgent. I'll wait until you've taken the medicine before I go."

Tina was speechless.
