Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 148

Miranda's next words froze her hand as she stroked the child's soft skin, sending a chill up her spine.

"The night it happened, the child was at home."

...

The night it happened.

The nanny was at the house, taking care of the child.

Sophia was shattered inside. When she returned home, she dismissed the nanny immediately, wanting to keep the family scandal under wraps.

Little did she know, the argument would escalate into a criminal case.

The commotion was so loud that it alerted the neighbors. The door wasn't fully closed, so it easily swung open.

When the neighbor entered, they were greeted by a horrifying sight.

Theodore Chase lay in a pool of blood. Beside him sat a three-year-old clinging to a stuffed toy, covered in blood from head to toe. His eyes were wide and clear, yet he didn't cry or make a sound, as if in shock.

The child's mother stood over him, knife raised, ready to strike again.

Had the neighbor not arrived in the nick of time, that night might have claimed not only Theodore Chase's life but also that of the little boy.
