Chapter 141

That same afternoon, Christian began investigating the matter before sharing his replaceings and suspicions with Jayden and Deborah.

Meanwhile, someone else was keeping a close eye on what was happening with Frederick and Vanessa, calling to report the day's events. "Boss, they're already in their cells."

"When is their trial?"

""Monday at 10."

"It's not far off. For now, you must keep them alive because the show needs to include significant humiliation so they'll wish for their own deaths." "Understood, I'll inform the others."

"Now that we know when it will happen, send out the invitations."

"Understood. I've also given the reward to the officer who helped us."

"Hmm... did he leave any traces?"

"Detective Alex called a paramedic, and no traces of the drug we used to induce their hallucinations were

found.

"Perfect. We might not have managed to get them sent to the psychiatric hospital, but that's fine because I've found a better way to end their lives."

"Of course, boss. If anything happens, I'll let you know.

"I'm counting on you," the boss said, ending the call.

Deborah was trying to distract herself by knitting little shoes following a pattern from a magazine she bought.

"One knit and one purl," she said mentally, but when she stopped to look at her progress, she saw she had only made a row of knots, causing her to frown and sigh. She then felt a little kick in her belly. "Don't worry, James, I won't give up and will keep practicing. Even though she kept trying, she wasn't fully focused as she continued to think about what they had discovered the previous day.

Her mother had always been close, and now it pained her to know there was no place to bring

her

Then, the doorbell rang, so she stood up to open it and found Elliot.

"Hey, Debbie," he greeted cheerfully, showing that he was carrying two paper bags.

[Welcome.]

"Did you lose your voice again?"

No, it's just that I can speak very little right now as I'm getting used to speaking again.]

"Oh... something like when a baby learns to walk," the teenager noted as she nodded. "And what were you doing?" he asked, noticing the yarn on the sofa.

I was trying to knit some little shoes, but I don't think I'm very inspired.] Deborah showed Elliot her lack of

progress.

"Don't worry, Debbie, you'll get it. If you want, I can help you replace tutorials online. Sometimes it's better to see i than follow written instructions."

You're right. I'll look up those videos later for support.] Deborah sat back on the sofa. [And what are those bags?]

"They're gifts for James. For example, this one," he said excitedly, pulling out a box with a lion-shaped toy. "It has lights and sounds to help him learn colors."

[It's cute.] Deborah received the box.

"And look at this outfit," he continued, pulling out a sailor suit complete with a hat. "The salesperson helped me pick it. She said it's better to buy larger sizes so James can wear them longer. It's not good to buy clothes that fit his age because babies grow out of them quickly."

[Yes, I read about that in the magazines I've bought.] Deborah agreed, feeling the softness of the fabric.

Then she felt her baby move, so she reached out to place the teenager's hand on her belly.

[He says thank you.] Deborah noticed Elliot's excited expression.

"Hehe, you're welcome, little nephew. It won't be long before I get to meet you, and when you arrive, I'll shower you with gifts so we can play together," Elliot said happily, withdrawing his hand and sitting properly.

[I know that will be the case.] Deborah smiled at Elliot. [By the way, what brings you here?]

"Well, besides the gifts, I came to show you this," he said happily, pulling out a black leather folder and handing it to her.

Deborah took the folder, a bit confused, but when she opened it, she smiled upon seeing Elliot's diploma.

[Congratulations.] Deborah carefully moved over to hug him. (I told you you'd make it.]

"Hm... it was all thanks to the support you and Dad gave me, making sure I never gave up, even when everything seemed difficult."
