The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2396

"Professor

Logan."

"Hey, Wanda. It's been a long time since we last met. How have you been doing?"

I lowered my head and shook it. "Oh, nothing special. You, on the other hand, look very energetic, Professor Logan."

Don chuckled. "Oh no, no. You seem to have lost a lot of weight."

It looked like I had really gone thinner.

Marius could not be bothered seeing me be so polite to him. He pressed me on the grounds of work. I could only warn him helplessly with my eyes to stay calm.

I finally had a chance to speak after some efforts of getting him to calm down. "I probably lost weight because I've been too busy with work recently. How about you? Have things been busy at school recently?" "It's alright. There's nothing special about being busy. You just got to get used to it."

"As expected of a professor. You even have a different perspective about something everyone considers tiring."

Don's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Marius. "Who is this?"

"No one you need to know." It was obvious Marius did not plan on waiting around quietly.

I could only get him to wait outside first. If not, he could forget about me treating him.

Under my cajoling, Marius reluctantly left first, leaving Don and me alone to catch up.

"Why are you here at Whaldorf University today, by the way?" Don asked.

I told him truthfully about my bringing samples over to be tested.

Perhaps he thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and that such a coincidental chance might not happen again in the future. Don suggested inviting me to a newly opened restaurant for a meal. However, thinking about what had happened today, I felt a little tired. Thus, I declined his kindness, saying that I did not have the time.

"Okay then. Let's meet again some other day."

"Alright."

I felt a little strange after saying goodbye to him and getting into a taxi to go back. Why was I feeling strange?

I wondered if it was because Marius

had been magging about people's hearts being inscrutable nowadays and that I should not offer my sincerity so casually else I would

stumble and suffer.

I finally finished all my work after some difficulty. Caroline was busy preparing dinner when I returned to the villa from the company. "Madam, you're back. You've worked hard today.

"I deliberately made your favorites. They'll be about ready to serve when the sir comes back."

Caroline always warmed the people around her with her thoughtfulness and concern. She was now an indispensable part of this family.

I had just opened the door to the

room to look at the children when failed to see their silhouettes. searched for a long time in a rattled state before I finally found them in the crib.

I panicked and lifted the thick clothes covering them. They were the reason why I failed to see them when I was so close.

Had I not discovered them in time, the consequences of a situation like this would have been unimaginable.

"Caroline, Caroline! Come up here! I need to ask you something."

Caroline, who had still been busy in the kitchen, heard me calling for her anxiously and immediately came to ask what happened. Learning that someone had actually put clothes over the children in the crib, how could the person who did it not know the consequences? Fortunately, the children were fine this time. If we did not get to the bottom of this, who could guarantee that there would not be another time? "Caroline, I'm certain such carelessness is not your fault. Apart from you, who else would have the chance to come in here?"

"Could it be that woman, Delia? She's always all over the house. It makes it hard to guess her whereabouts. Who knows where she is now even."

One could not convict someone

based on imagination alone.

Although was certain that Delia had something to do with this, there was no clear evidence to prove it. I could only confront her face-to-face when she came back.
