Chapter 495 Walter’s Death

The building was a vintage-looking, single-story detached house. The living area was at the center of the house, with two bedrooms facing each other, and the kitchen was located in a separate structure at the end of the house. After Angie had surveyed both rooms, she came out with a dark expression.

“What’s wrong?” Zeke, who took notice of her unusual expression, pulled her to one side when he had the chance.

“I saw a family photo in the room on the left. The girl in the photo was the one we met last night,” she replied, leaning her tired body against the kitchen door frame with both arms folded across her chest.

Zeke’s expression fell. “That’s too much of a coincidence. Are you saying that—”

Upon seeing a terrified Zeke reaching his hand and drawing circles above his head, Angie immediately understood what he meant and calmly responded, “Yes, I remembered the man calling her Piper.”

 

He fell silent, after which he wiped his mouth before heading toward the main door.

“Mrs. Church, let me help you.”

 

Zeke helped her to move the baskets of salted fish out from the small warehouse beside, and the woman took out the salted fish to dry them in the sun. While they were busy with their tasks, Zeke struck up a conversation.

“Mr. Church told me that you guys have a daughter named Piper, but why don’t I see her around today?”

“Piper occasionally stays at her friend’s place in town. She didn’t come back yesterday, so she should be back later in the afternoon. When she comes back, I’ll have her make something for you both. My baby girl is really good at cooking.”

The woman didn’t notice the hidden meaning in his question, but Angie felt a lump in her throat upon seeing the joy and pride on Mrs. Church’s face at the mention of her daughter

After moving all the fish out from the warehouse, Zeke, who felt a little dizzy when he was straightening up his body after bending over for a long time, suddenly heard a flustered voice from behind. “Mrs. Church, bad news! Something happened to Mr. Church!”
