"See for yourself."

Melody Thorne handed the document to Elias Hale, "I think you should be grateful that it’s her, otherwise who knows how much more harm she would have done to Selina Sloan. Now you can wholeheartedly protect Selina. She’s truly pitiful, loving you so deeply, yet constantly hurt by Hannah."

"Wanting revenge, but still having to consider the fact that you’re Hannah’s brother!"

"Melody Thorne, I’m going to kill you! You’re the one who ruined the relationship between me and my brother!"

"Take her away, find someone to watch her, no one can let her leave!"

"Understood."

"I need to return home for a while," Elias Hale stood up. This situation was unexpected, and the Hale Family back home still doesn’t know about it; he needs to investigate what happened back then in the hospital.

He confirmed he indeed has a sister, but now doesn’t know why she was lost, and the one who’s always been by their side is Hannah!

"Please take care of Selina while I’m gone, I’ll be back soon!"

"Alright."

After seeing Elias Hale off, Melody Thorne and Jared Quinn returned to the Quinn Family.

"Timmy?" Melody Thorne immediately rushed over and scooped up the little dumpling on the sofa, holding him tightly. "Did you miss me?"

Timmy reached out and hooked his arms around her neck, "I want to be held, you have to hold me all day today, without letting go!"

He missed her so much.

"Okay," Melody Thorne ruffled his little head.

"Okay what?" Jared Quinn picked Timmy up, "You’re so big now, isn’t it embarrassing to be held? Hmm?"

"What’s embarrassing? It’s better than you clinging to her all the time!" Timmy retorted.

Jared Quinn’s face darkened, "From now on, allowance halved, snacks halved, toys halved!"

Timmy "...hmph."

"I’m going to cook, you two better not start arguing," Melody Thorne chuckled and walked into the kitchen.

"Melody, I want chicken wings," Timmy stood at the kitchen door, looking at her eagerly.

He hadn’t had them for days.

"Okay."

Melody Thorne took out chicken wings from the fridge and started cooking.

Jared Quinn answered a few calls and went to the study.

After dinner, Timmy kept pulling Melody Thorne to play with him, playing a game of building a castle. The plush carpet was covered with blocks, and Melody joined him for a while.

Not knowing what to build, they simply started constructing the buildings depicted on four pictures, each in a different direction.

"Let’s play hide and seek," Timmy childishly grabbed a block and hid it.

Melody Thorne followed behind him, and the two played childishly.

By the time Jared Quinn finished his work, it was already past nine at night.

"Timmy, go to sleep now, you have school tomorrow," Jared Quinn stood outside the door.

Timmy reluctantly glanced at him and yawned, "Alright, but you can’t disappear again tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Pinky promise."

Melody Thorne extended her little finger and hooked it with his, "Go to sleep now."

Timmy obediently returned to his room.

"Was it fun?" Jared Quinn walked in, his chest pressing against her back, half-hugging her as he looked at the childish toys on the floor.

"Not fun," Melody Thorne casually pushed them.

The blocks all toppled over onto the floor, forming a thick layer. The small structures Melody had created earlier were built based on the distances in those pictures, using who knows how many blocks, but now the whole central area had been completely submerged.

Jared Quinn narrowed his eyes, and both he and Melody Thorne suddenly thought of something—perhaps something might really be hidden in the area that was covered over!
