Chapter 610: Danger Arrives
Elsa knew the house’s password but rarely visited. John Wilkinson didn’t expect her to come today.
“I heard you made another great achievement, solving a big case and capturing a key member of the Celestial Alliance! As expected of my big brother, you’re amazing,” Elsa flattered. “John, where is that criminal now? How is he?”
John Wilkinson gave Elsa a second look. “Why are you interested in these things today?” he asked, staring at her. “Who told you about the Celestial Alliance?”
John Wilkinson knew his little sister well; she never cared about his work.
“I went to the bureau to find you and heard about it,” Elsa lied casually. “Just tell me, what happened to that criminal?”
Elsa pouted and smiled playfully.
Selene, hearing Elsa’s inquiry about her, looked at her with some suspicion. She didn’t believe Elsa was genuinely concerned.
John Wilkinson said, “We have rules prohibiting discussions about case-related matters.”
“John,” Elsa persisted, “I’m not an outsider; I’m your sister. I’m really curious. Just tell me; I promise I won’t say anything.”
“It’s the rule,” John Wilkinson’s tone grew colder. “If there’s nothing else, go home. It’s getting late.”
Elsa felt unbalanced; John Wilkinson was stern with her but gentle with Selene.
“Alright, I won’t ask anymore,” Elsa changed the subject. “Can you at least introduce this lady to me?”
Now was not the best time to reveal Selene’s identity. Elsa had a loose tongue, and exposing Selene could put her in danger.
“You don’t need to know. If there’s nothing else, go home,” John Wilkinson said coldly, issuing another eviction order.
Elsa was furious this time. “Fine, I’ll leave.”
She stormed out angrily.
Outside the apartment, Elsa called her mother with resentment: “Mom, something big happened. My brother has a girlfriend! But she doesn’t seem decent at all; she’s shamelessly moved into his place…”
Elsa exaggerated and belittled Selene.
…
After eating, John Wilkinson cleaned up the dishes. “Sarah, you go rest. I’ll clean up. I’ve been busy lately and could only buy takeout for you. When I have time tomorrow, I’ll cook for you.”
Selene removed her mask and said, “Thank you.”
“Your mask is very well made; I couldn’t even tell.”
“It’s simple,” Selene said. “I don’t know why it works; it just does. By the way, when will the doctor you found arrive?”
She desperately wanted to regain her memory; living in confusion was dangerous.
“Tomorrow afternoon, he’s an acupuncturist,” John Wilkinson said. “I’ve explained your situation to him; it shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Good.”
Selene continued making masks and some self-defense weapons in her room.
John Wilkinson cleaned up.
The next day.
Today was Little Lucky’s vaccination day. Meredith and the nanny took Little Lucky out after breakfast.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Terrence didn’t go with them; Julian came early to report on yesterday’s company matters and seek praise from his father.
Meredith held Little Lucky in her arms, followed by the nanny and driver as they arrived at the hospital.
There were many people there for vaccinations today. Meredith had made an appointment in advance, so they quickly finished.
Little Lucky was scared of the vaccine and cried a lot. Meredith comforted him for a while.
The doctor advised observing for half an hour after the vaccination. The nanny said, “Madam, I need to use the restroom.”
“Okay, hurry back. I’ll take Rowan to rest in the lounge,” Meredith replied.
The nanny went to the restroom.
Meredith took Little Lucky to the lounge and called the driver to wait at the entrance later.
This private hospital had excellent service; each lounge was a separate room protecting mothers’ privacy and easing breastfeeding awkwardness.
The lounge had toys. Meredith played with building blocks with Little Lucky to distract him from the pain of the vaccine.
“Rowan, can you give Mommy the round block? Which one is round?” Meredith tested Little Lucky on purpose.
Little Lucky happily grabbed a round block and handed it to Meredith.
Meredith praised him excitedly: “Wow, my daughter is amazing! You know which one is round!”
Little Lucky was thrilled by her mother’s praise, covering her small mouth with both hands and smiling shyly. To earn more praise, she handed another round block to Meredith and called out indistinctly: “Mama.”
Meredith was overjoyed: “Rowan, you’re fantastic!”
During this warm mother-daughter interaction, a woman dressed as a nurse entered wearing a mask.
Hearing footsteps, Meredith instinctively turned around but before she could ask anything, the woman injected something into her shoulder directly.
