My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1816

"Mr. Zelson, I... I did not..." Adrienne did not know how to explain. After all, she honestly thought that Zelson was upset with Jefferson.

"I just got back so I am still unfamiliar with the case. Fill me in and we will head to the autopsy room to see if we can find new clues." Zelson did not argue with Adrienne any further and quickly changed the topic.

"Okay." Adrienne took out a copy of the autopsy report and handed it to Zelson. "At present, the witness statement and material evidence are very unfavorable to Jefferson. Sergeant Scott has issued an arrest warrant and sent out a search group but we haven't found anything so far."

"Got it, I'll take a look at the report later." Zelson looked at Adrienne with worry. "Adrienne, you haven't slept all night. You should rest in the office for a while. I'll go back to the examination room to take a look."

"I'm fine." Adrienne didn't want to delay any time, she just wanted to find Jefferson as soon as possible.

"Okay." Zelson didn't say anything more and

took the lead to walk out.

They busied themselves in the autopsy room and soon, half the day had passed.

Other than what they had already discovered, they had not found any new clues. The entire morning had been a waste of their time.

Adrienne returned to the office and there were several missed calls on her phone. The first call was from her grandfather. Adrienne called him back immediately, "Grandpa, you called?"

Hodge's voice, which sounded a little weak, came through the phone, "Adrienne, I suddenly miss you and Jefferson. Can you come to accompany me after getting off work this afternoon?"

Hodge knew Adrienne was busy with her work and he had never taken the initiative to ask her to visit him before. For him to suddenly make such a request, it must mean that he missed her a lot. She couldn't refuse. "Grandpa, take a rest. I will come by after work."

Hodge was worried and asked, "Adrienne, am I bothering you?"

Hearing her grandfather's words, Adrienne felt her heart ache. She said, "Grandpa, don't

overthink. You are my closest relative. The fact that you miss me makes me so happy. How could you be a bother?"

"But your voice sounds a little upset." The old man had been through a lot, therefore he could tell something was wrong from her voice. He didn't want his sickly body to be a burden to her.

"Grandpa, you know what my work is. In my career field, it's hard not to be emotionally affected by work." Adrienne was speaking facts.

"Adrienne, you must be tired from work, you should go home early to rest after work." Hodge was not convinced by her words, but he did not ask further. "There are plenty of patients around with me. I don't feel lonely at all."

"Grandpa, I am really fine. Don't think too much. I will see you right after work." Although Adrienne was preoccupied with Jefferson's case, Quill and Zelson would still be around. No matter what, she had to pay her grandfather a visit. After all, he was an old man, and sometimes he would overthink. It wasn't good for his health.

After the call with Hodge, Adrienne looked through her other missed calls. There were three missed calls in total, all of which were from Britney.

Adrienne immediately called back. As soon as she dialed, Britney picked up. "Adrienne, is this a bad time?"

"Not at all." Adrienne tried to make her voice sound lighter so that she wouldn't worry her. "Madam Yard, I was in the autopsy room earlier. I didn't bring my mobile phone in, so I didn't answer your call. Is there anything you need?"
