My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Fermented

Because it was a day off yesterday, there were a lot of patients coming in, so it was more difficult to

investigate.

But at the same time, many people had seen that man, and one of them was an art teacher. That man was in

front of them when the art teacher accompanied his wife to a prenatal checkup.

At that time, the art teacher was still wondering, “Why didn’t he bring his wife over?” So he took a second look at him.

That was when he remembered the appearance of that man.

“What’s that?” Cynthia awoke, groggy and not quite conscious. The back of her head ached very much.

Alston explained, took the sketch, and sat with her in her hospital bed.

That man looked so ordinary that if he had been in a crowd, he would have been inconspicuous.

Greg gave basic information about the man he had found.

That man was Caleb Hayes. He worked as a truck driver. He had a dull personality. People who knew him

said he was not articulate but honest and easy to be with.

No matter what they thought, they could not believe that he would push someone down the stairs.

Alston looked up. “Check that man’s account to see if there has been any special amount of remittance.”

Greg frowned, with a perplexed expression on his face. “I have already checked, and there is no special remittance in his account. I also checked the accounts of his wife and parents, and there is nothing unusual.”

Cynthia looked at the portrait and frowned. “Ivan didn’t promise him any benefits? Did he remit the money to him after he had done this? Or did he give him cash?”

Alston shook his head. “I let people spy on him since the last banquet. He has been staying at home and has never gone out. He didn’t go in person this time. He should have sent someone else there.”

“We need to check whether Caleb has contacted any suspicious persons during this period of time. Ivan will pay more attention after suffering from the loss at the last banquet. Perhaps all the information and evidence of their meeting and transaction between them had been destroyed. That’s why he’s so confident.”

“So now there is no evidence?”

Cynthia thought and frowned, looking pitiful.

Alston smiled. “Who said that we must have some evidence to teach him a lesson!”

Cynthia looked at him. Her eyes lit up.

Seeing her expression, Alston touched the gauze on her head, and said in a hoarse voice, “Is your head still

hurt?”

Cynthia was a little taken aback. Alston had always stood up for her and helped her to teach those who

bullied her a lesson these days.

Cynthia thought, “If he’s just acting now, there is no one else here, so there is no need for him to be

concerned about me.”

“I’m sorry to trouble you!” Cynthia paused after saying that, then looked at him and said, “There are only three

of us here, so you don’t have to be nice to me.”

“What?” Alston was taken aback for a moment.

Cynthia looked down. “You saved my mother, and I was Hulda’s shield. You have done what you could, and

you have helped me to teach those who hurt me a lesson. You don’t have to force yourself to be gentle with

me.”

She liked him, but the person he liked was Hulda, so she tried hard to avoid him, but every time he was gentle

and protective, she could fall for him again.

Hearing what she said, Alston remembered that at that time Cynthia had been mentioning the divorce. He

was angry, so he lied to her that he wanted her to be Hulda’s shield.

He was so angry that he said say those words, but Cynthia remembered it.

Alston was a little dumbfounded and didn’t know how to explain it to Cynthia.

After going through those things, Alston realized that the so–called shield was useless. Although Hulda was

able to get others‘ attention, he underestimated Ivan, his cousin, who was always useless.

His cousin was very sensitive to the romance.

Alston did not love Hulda, in spite of his tenderness for her. Although he had deceived most people, he hadn’t
