The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter198 It Was Fate

Vera gazed at Hazel's tombstone. Outside, it was pitch dark, a place that usually frightened her. However, with Patrick by her side, she felt no fear at all.

In front of the mat was a basin. Patrick opened the test results and set them on fire.

"Patrick, you burned it. What will Shawn and Vincent think?" Vera asked.

Patrick glanced at her and asked, "Vera, are you afraid of Mom's photo?"

Vera looked up at Hazel's gentle smile and shook her head. "Maybe Mom knows I'm your wife, so she wouldn't want me to be scared."

"Then can you stay here with me tonight?"

Vera nodded emphatically. She couldn't bear to leave Patrick alone in the dark house.

The test results were already burned.

Patrick held Vera's hand and spoke to the memorial tablet. "Mom, we found Molly, thanks to Vera."

Vera shook her head, not daring to take credit. "It wasn't me. It was Patrick who never gave up. I didn't believe him at first and even argued with him. But later, the facts proved that he was right."

"If it weren't for Vera, I wouldn't have found Molly," Patrick said, looking at the adorable and innocent Vera kneeling there. "If it weren't for Vera, I wouldn't have gotten these test results so quickly."

Vera lowered her head guiltily. Had she been more compliant and less irate, they could have received the test results even sooner.

"Hazel, don't worry about Mia. She hasn't suffered at all. The Chase family are good people; they cherish Mia like a treasure. I met Mia and Randall in middle school."

Thinking of the unlucky Ran at the hospital, Vera said, "I wonder what Randall will think. He only has two good friends, and now I'm his uncle's wife, and Mia is his real aunt."
