Chapter 358 - 358: Pregnancy Hormones (2/2)

That's just how it is when one joins the Underworld. His only regret is not answering his wife's call before he followed the two Devils into the hospital.

At least . . . he's just a few walls apart from them.

After the whole 'interrogation' ordeal, Ethan and Lillie returned to their car and drove back home.

So, it was Yu Mei's parents who hired that man to spy on her.

Years of silence after they've failed to prove that the Bai family, particularly Lillie, were behind their daughter's disappearance, it seems they still haven't given up.

And by the looks of it, they're coming back with help.

Ethan was a bit surprised when his wife suddenly let out a short, wicked laugh.

To those at the receiving end of her ruthlessness, he will not bother to light a candle for them because they probably deserve it for upsetting his now pregnant wife.

”Care to share what had you in a good mood?” He piped in curiously.

”I figured out his plan. It's wasn't even hard to put the pieces together, nor would I need to ask She Lei of his latest move.” Lillie propped her cheek on her knuckles, uninterestedly looking at the passing view outside the window.

”She Gu must think I'm stupid to not see through his schemes.”

Since the beginning, they already know reason why She Gu 'stole' Yu Mei from the headquarters and 'graciously' cure her.

It was so he could make her confess that Lillie was the one behind her disappearance.

”Let me guess, her parents would show up sooner or later to reopen the case of their daughter's disappearance. Then lo and behold, Yu Mei suddenly shows up and points her finger at you.”

”My point exactly.”

Ethan scoffed. ”He's so predictable.” But too bad for She Gu, his plans was already foiled as soon as he gave Yu Mei the Marionette Pill.

They've left Song Zhihao with the captive for a while. Lillie had contacted her men to bring him in the headquarters to have his memories altered.

She's letting him go back to his family after that.

Pregnancy hormones are to blame for her unusual softness.

Furthermore, the only crucial information he had about her was her pregnancy, the rest are useless.

He should be grateful to Song Zhihao for catching him before he gave her medical results to his employer—She Gu.

Because if he did, he'll be wishing for death. Nothing could stop her from striking her wrath to those who wrongs her.

May they hide under the deepest part of the ocean or the earth's core, Lillie will find them and inflict unimaginable pain that would make even Lucifer flinch.

”Can we buy some donuts before we go back?” Dark thoughts were immediately swept by pictures of sugary desserts suddenly popping in her mind once she felt her sweet-tooth plus pregnancy cravings kicking in.

”Already planning to.” Ethan chuckled and brought her left hand to his lips, planting a kiss on it.
