After locking eyes with him for a few seconds, I looked away and didn't want to linger further.
The servant quickly brought in some food. Aaron took care of me while Hendrix stood still and watched.
After I filled my stomach, I regained some strength. I officially picked up the baby for the first time and looked at her face greedily, hoping to remember every detail.
The tense atmosphere lasted for about a minute before Aaron spoke.
"It's my fault. I found the missing nurse and confirmed it. Last night, she worked with a bodyguard outside the manor and switched the baby. The kidnapper fled abroad."
After he said that, the whole room was quiet again, and the atmosphere was tense and more pressing.
I looked at my daughter in my arms and had nothing to say.
It was no use being cautious. Those people had already set up a trap. No matter how well Aaron did, he couldn't escape from the trap.
After a long time, I suddenly took a deep breath and turned my head to look at Hendrix, who was standing in the distance, and said coldly, "Where were you last night?"
Hendrix's voice was low without any ups and downs. "I was tracking down Owen Milton's secretary. He had important documents from that time, which could prove that my parents were innocent. We heard people say they saw the secretary in Vegaland... When you called, I heard that something happened to Mr. Reid. I've just boarded the plane at that time."
"Have you found him?" I remained indifferent.
"No." Hendrix said frankly, "Last month, there was news that he was in Madarsburg. Just like this time, we didn't find anything."
