The first few were calls from Thea, but the ones after were all from Eudora.

And Eudora's last voicemail roared angrily, "Your wife is about to give birth..."

Harley was shocked. He couldn't wait any longer and rushed into his supervisor's office to ask for leave.

Moments later, he dashed out of the police station.

The apartment was not far from his workplace. When he rushed to the lobby, he saw Eudora standing on the side of the road with Thea in her arms.

Despite her thin figure, Eudora was holding Thea in her arms while carrying a big maternity pack behind her.

Harley was stunned. He ran over to Thea instantaneously.

"Thea..."

Thea was already scared out of her wits. It was her first time giving birth, and she was extremely nervous. In addition to that, she couldn't get through to her husband during such a critical moment. Harley reached out his hand to take over Thea and smoothed out her hair that had been stuck on her forehead because of sweat.

"It's okay, I'm here now!"

"Honey!" Thea couldn't help but cry as soon as Harley held her in his arms.

Eudora looked at the two of them and felt more relieved instantly.

Just as she was in thoughts, the ambulance arrived. Eudora followed them to the hospital in a hurry. As soon as they reached the hospital, Thea was brought into the delivery room. While waiting outside of the delivery room, Eudora could hear that the situation inside gradually stabilised. Only then did she recall her own problem.

It would be the wedding ceremony the next day, was she really going to continue on like this?

Eudora was still lost in her thoughts when Harley turned to look at her. He disliked what Eudora had done to Amos, but he could still understand why Amos liked her so much.

She was a sweet, yet cool person; she was someone who could show her weak side with the right person, yet she was strong-willed when the situation called for it.

And she was just right for Amos, that proud and arrogant man. There was no one else that could make him fall head over heels apart from her.

"What happened today..." Harley was about to speak.

Eudora stood up. "I didn't mean to approach you guys deliberately. I know that we aren't in the best of terms, but with Thea like this, I had to come..." "Thank you!" Harley cut her off.

Eudora paused. "What?"

"I said... Thank you!" Harley was sincere. If something were to happen to Thea today all because of him not picking up his phone, he would never forgive himself! "Fine, I'll accept your gratitude!" Eudora said.

Harley looked at her speechlessly, and then he remembered that he had seen her on the streets by the suburbs that day.

"Why didn't you go to the suburbs to experience life today?" he asked.

Eudora fell speechless.

Harley was being a jerk as usual. However, his words seemed to have reminded her of something...

Eudora studied Harley seriously then her eyes lit up. "Yes, if I want to investigate Fabian, isn't Harley the best candidate?" she thought.

However, Harley was a stubborn man when it comes to some things because of his profession. Could she trust him or not?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Harley questioned, a little agitated. He had just said thank you to her, but now he couldn't help but feel a little scared when she was staring at him like that. "Harley!" Eudora began, "You thanked me for saving Thea, right? Then, you owe me a favor!"

Harley frowned. "I guess!"

"What does that mean? You already owed me a favor before! I need you to help me with something now. If it's done, then we'll be even! But you have to promise me, only you and I can know of this. Before I'm sure of what to do, you can't make any decisions by yourself! Can you promise me that? Not even Amos can know about this."

Harley looked at Eudora curiously. "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Just tell me if you agree with my terms! For Thea!"

Harley took a deep breath and muttered, "I knew you were up to no good!"

However, even though he had said so, he nodded and agreed.

"What do you want me to do?"

Eudora did not answer him. Instead, she took out the evidence in her bag and handed it to Harley. "Take a look!"

Harley paused. "This... Where did you get this from? Is it credible?"

Eudora raised her hand to stop him immediately. "Keep your voice down. Didn't I just tell you? You can't tell anyone without my permission. This information has nothing to do with you, do you understand?"

"I don't understand! I only know that the Nolan family has been doing things that harms the people for the sake of profit. As a policeman, I must arrest him!"

"I know you want to arrest Fabian, but now is not the time for that, isn't it? With these, even if it's true, will you be able to convict him? Calm down, okay?"

Harley took a deep breath and asked, "Can I believe you? Or are you in it too with Fabian?"

"Harley!" Eudora paused. "If you think that's the case, then forget it. I have nothing else to say to you!"

Saying that, she was about to take her things away when Harley grabbed onto the documents.

"I'll help you! Tell me, what should I do?"

Only then did Eudora smile. "You said that yourself. I think you should go and investigate first. Is the information in this true? The most important thing is to replace out the real reason behind my father's death." After hearing that, Harley glanced at Eudora.

"Huh, so you are not stupid! Now you know that it has nothing to do with Amos, right?"

Eudora turned her head. "I don't know yet, I'm just hoping that you'll look into it!"

"Okay!" Harley took all the documents over.

"One night, I only have one night."

Harley nodded and looked at the operating room behind him with reluctance. "Help me take good care of Thea."

"Of course!" Eudora answered. Harley then strode out of the hospital.

After Harley left, Eudora sat back in her chair and fixed her eyes on the delivery room.

As time passed, and Eudora felt more and more uneased.

At the same time, in the branch office of

Valiant East.

Amos was standing in front of the window, watching the street lights outside.

Clint entered the office and reported in a low voice, "There seems to be no result from the things that you've handed over to Mr. Louis to investigate." Amos closed his eyes. "It looks like I've underestimated my enemy."

Fabian was indeed not an easy person to deal with.

As the clock slowly marched past midnight, Clint hesitated and tried to persuade him, "Sir, it's getting late. Why don't you take a rest?" Amos looked at the time and murmured in a low voice.

"Today is the day!"

Clint was stunned. "What?"

"Nothing! The people I've told you to look for, are they ready?"

Clint nodded. "Everything is ready."
