Seeing the look on Petra's face, I could not bring myself to make her worry, so I explained to her patiently, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll be fine. Police found clues. I'm going to find Munchkin with them." "But Theo has already left." I was just about to leave when Petra's words left me dumbfounded.

Petra quickly explained it to me. "We received a call from Theo this morning. He told us that the police have found clues, but your health isn't stable, so he urged us to make you stay. He said to leave the matters to him. He'll find Munchkin for you."

It was only then did I notice that the elderly did not carry any lunch box over, and Petra only had her purse with her.

They must have rushed over here after receiving news from Theo, which explained why they were in a rush.

I quickly fished out my phone. There was a text from Theo.

[Stay in the hospital. TH bring Munchkin home to you ]

What crazy statement was he making?

The police had merely found clues. How was he supposed to bring him back? Was he going to approach Alex himself?

This was pure nonsense!

I called Theo's number almost without thinking, but the operator mentioned that the number was not in service, so I quickly dialed Chief Royce's number too.
