My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1801

Jefferson tightened his grip around Adrienne's hand. It was obvious he was trying to comfort her despite his unpleasant words that came out of his mouth next. "Look at your body. You're as thin as a stick. If you keep up with this investigation, you might pass out from exhaustion before you even find the murderer."

Adrienne was not in the mood to joke. She hated that she was powerless and she hated that she was threatened, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Hodge always told her that she was just a little girl and that it was okay if she never found out the truth behind her parents' murder. If her parents were looking down on her from heaven, they would definitely not blame her.

Yes, in the past, she also felt like she was too young and she didn't know how to be considerate of others. She had never thought about sharing some of the burdens her parents shouldered.

In the past, she didn't care about anything and was protected too well by everyone, just like flowers in a greenhouse. She had never

worried about life nor had she tried to understand this society. That was why she was so lonely and helpless after the pillars she relied on suddenly collapsed.

In the past, she had foolishly believed that there were only good people or outsiders in the world. But at present, the cruel reality made her realize that there were many things in this world that she did not understand.

Someone once told her that the most complicated thing in the world was human nature and she thought it was a bit ridiculous. Currently, it seemed that what that man said was right, she had been too naive.

Thinking of her past self, Adrienne smiled bitterly and cried out, "Jefferson, do you really think I'm unable to uncover the truth by myself? Do you really think that I'm that useless?"

"You're not stupid." Although Jefferson always spoke harshly, he cared about Adrienne in his heart. If she was really useless, why would he be so loyal to her?

"What you're saying is I still have some use, right?" Adrienne asked.

Suddenly, Jefferson answered seriously, "Little Specky, no matter how difficult the road you chose is, no matter how long it takes to find out the truth, I will accompany you on this road and I will investigate this case together with you."

"What if it takes ten years, twenty years... or an entire lifetime? Would you still investigate it with me?" Adrienne didn't know why, but when she thought of this question, she knew that Jefferson would reassure her for sure.

As expected, as many times in the past, Jefferson did not let her down. He promised her, "Even if it takes ten lifetimes, I am willing to investigate it with you, so..."

"So bullying me in this lifetime is not enough. You still want to bully me for ten more lifetimes, right?" Adrienne felt a surge of warmth in her heart that made her feel safe.

"Yes."

When they chatted, time always passed quickly. Soon after, they arrived at their destination.

In front of them, the red and blue police lights flickered. There was already a crowd gathered there with people pointing and whispering among themselves. It seemed that the news had been leaked.

Every time Adrienne encountered this kind of situation, she would have a headache. As she was too thin, it was really difficult for her to squeeze through the crowd to get to the crime scene.

When Zelson was around, he could help her. That day, she could only look at Jefferson pleadingly. He knew what she meant and immediately pushed through the crowd to make way for her to get to the police lines.

When Adrienne passed through the crowd, every conversation they exchanged floated into her ears. "Oh my God, what a psychopath. Such a cruel murderer deserves to be shot dead ten times over."

Someone else chimed in, "Calvin and his wife usually treat everyone so well, I have never seen them get into a fight with anyone. Who could do this to them?"
