The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1487

It was already late at night when we returned to the hospital. In the conference room. Chief Royce sat directly opposite us in silence.

I knew he had gone to the villa in the suburbs and found that those were merely an ordinary gang of crooks. Although they were able to save the children in time, there was no progress made in Munchkin’s case.

When he came back, he also learned that we had approached Alex by ourselves.

"How could you go to Alex alone, Mrs. Grant? It’s too dangerous. There's a high possibility that your child is with him. If the kidnapper has the upper hand, then it'll be extremely disadvantageous to you and your family!”

I understood that he was mad, and he should be.

"Since you chose to call the police, then you should trust the police and share all information with us. You shouldn't act alone and take such risks."

"I'm sorry, Chief Royce. We had no choice but to act without permission." I sincerely apologized. "It's not that we don’t trust the police, but it's because Alex’s identity is truly special. In order to know more about Munchkin, we had no choice but to do so.”

Chief Royce knew that we were anxious, but it was fortunate that we were safe.

Besides, what we said made sense too. We were not messing around either, so he stopped being so angry after a while.

"What information did you get this time? I sighed. "About the same as before, but this time, I can tell that he doesn't want anything to happen to Munchkin."

Chief Royce was clearly surprised as well. I recounted everything that happened in the hotel, and he quickly figured out what was going on.

"In that case, Munchkin is worth something to him, but we still don't know what that worth is.”

We shared the same thought. "Judging from his identity, Munchkin can probably help him obtain certain benefits. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been that nervous either. We know far too few things about him.

"Also, the police are also curious about one thing. Why did he appear at such a precise timing? It's almost as if he had been waiting here for you at this intersection so you that you'd be left with no other options."
