Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 779

Cedrick was about to clear his mind and analyze the situation when Swain stopped the car in the laboratory’s open-air parking lot. The latter got out first, then went to open the rear passenger door for the former.

“Boss, we’ve arrived at the laboratory.”

Cedrick had no choice but to pull himself out of his thoughts. Taking his tablet and phone, he stepped out of the vehicle. “Return to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Joe has yet to be caught, so we must continue investigating this matter.”

“Understood.” Swain watched Cedrick walk away before driving off.

The laboratory was extremely quiet at night, and on the entire floor, Benedict’s ward was the only room with its lights on.

Not wanting the two children to wait too long, Cedrick quickened his pace.

Just as he approached the door, he saw it was slightly ajar. He was about to push it open when he heard Zendaya crying and Benedict comforting her patiently.

“Uwaahh! Benny, I miss Mommy so much. So very, very much!” Zendaya wailed in a tearful voice, weeping pitifully.

Surprisingly, Benedict did not make fun of her. Instead, he patiently wiped away her tears with a tissue. “Don’t cry. Your eyes are already red from crying. Daddy is bound to notice it when he arrives.”

“But… I can’t help it. I’m so worried about Mommy, yet I’m afraid of causing Daddy trouble,” she replied through sobs.

Benedict sighed. In his piping voice, he reasoned with her solemnly, “You need to be good. Make sure you sleep well at night and don’t misbehave. Let Daddy have peace of mind as he looks for Mommy. I trust his capabilities. He’ll surely find Mommy soon. Don’t cry anymore. Daddy will get upset if he sees you like this, and we can’t make him even more worried.”

Shortly after, the cries in the ward grew softer and less frequent.

However, a sense of guilt crashed over Cedrick like a raging wave. His fingertips on the door handle trembled uncontrollably, there was a stinging sensation in his nose, and he could not stop his eyes from swiftly reddening.
