In the car, Ellinor sat quietly, not saying a word.
Sophia turned to look at her. âEllinor, why so quiet all of a sudden? Donât you want to know where Iâm taking you?â
Ellinor stared straight ahead, not looking at Sophia. âDidnât you already tell me? Weâre heading to the crime scene to look for clues.â Sophia curiously asked, âArenât you scared?â
Ellinorâs face was expressionless. âIf youâre scared, get out of the car and give me the keys and the address. Iâll go by myself.â â
Sophia paused for a moment. âOf course Iâm not scared. I hope Theoâs still alive and that the body isnât his. For that, Iâm not afraid of anything.â
âThen stop the chitchat and focus on driving.â
Sophia fell silent.
Sophia sneaked a glance at Ellinorâs ballooning belly. She seemed to have stopped considering her own body and the baby inside. For Theo, she was really prepared to give everything.
It seemed that Theo was still in Ellinorâs heart.
Sophia had already guessed that Ellinor would take the opportunity to flee the hospital when Balfour went to fetch water, so she purposely went to chat with Balfour to buy time for Ellinor.
Knowing that Ellinor had just learned about Theoâs accident and must be in a mess now, Sophia decided not to talk to her anymore. She quietly drove the car and sped towards the abandoned factory in the suburbs.
C In the suburbs, near a factory that had been bombed into ruins.
Seeing the mess, one could imagine the power of the explosion.
After getting out of the car, Ellinor looked at the ruins in front of her under the moonlight. All the possibilities she had imagined about Theo possibly still being alive were overthrown at this moment.
If Theo was really near this abandoned factory, his chances of survival were very slim.
âAre you sure Theo really came here? Even if his car and ID were found here, it doesnât prove he was here himself.â Ellinor asked Sophia.
âEllinor, I also hope Theo didnât come here. But the police pulled up road surveillance footage, confirming Theo was in the car. He even got out of the car at the service area for a rest.â
Ellinor frowned. âHave the police figured out what happened? Why did Theo suddenly come to this desolate place?â
Even if Balfourâs explanation was correct and Theoâs half-brothers were up to no good, Theo was too smart to come here.
Sophia shook her head. âNo one knows why Theo would come here. Now the police have only found Theoâs ID and a blown-up phone on a body that was blown beyond recognition. The cause of the explosion is still under investigation. During the day, the police will come here to investigate; we can only come in at night.â
Ellinor was silent for a long time. It turned out that Theo hadnât replied to her messages in the past few days because he had an accident.
Her heart hurt so much that she could hardly breathe.
But now wasnât the time for heartache. She needed to find clues as soon as possible. If he had indeed been murdered, then she absolutely couldnât let the murderer get away with it. She had to avenge her unborn childâs fatherâs death.
Ellinor took a deep breath, slowly walked towards the ruins, turned on her phoneâs flashlight for illumination, and began to look for clues.
