"She was pregnant before she went to Alsburg? Didn't the health examination report show that?" Queenie asked. "That doesn't make sense at all."

"This is indeed a mystery," Aiden said. "The situation was very strange at that time. Jodie insisted that she got pregnant back home and the father of the child was her husband. It was then that we knew that her husband was Mr. Jones. The leaders of the medical team wanted to send her back but before the formalities were completed, she had a miscarriage. The one who took care of Jodie at that time was Dr. Clarke from the medical team."

"Dr. Clarke?" Queenie said with a frown, "Who is Dr. Clarke?"

"He's Jodie's classmate. They went to Alsburg together and spent most of their time together." Aiden replied, "Queenie, some people said that they have seen Jodie come out of Dr. Clarke's tent. Other than this, I really don't know anything else."

Stunned, Queenie asked, "Do you mean that the father of Jodie's child is Dr. Clarke?"

"I don't know," Aiden replied, instantly shaking her head. "All I know is that Dr. Clarke was grief-stricken. The two of them even quarreled. Then, Jodie ran away, and she was abducted. After that, we received the video of her being killed."

Queenie was stunned and a hint of shame flashed across her eyes.

Was there more to this incident?

"We were all upset as well. After all, we were on the medical team. We went again on the second assistance program. During this period, we had already been back for several years, but Dr. Clarke had been there for six years. You tell me, is there any story behind it?" Aiden asked Queenie.

Queenie was trying to confirm her suspicion once again. Hence, she asked, "You said she was pregnant. Did she get pregnant after she arrived in Alsburg, or before she went to Alsburg? The timing is very important to me." "There is a possibility that she only got pregnant after she arrived in Alsburg. We are both doctors and women, and we have experience with births. The blood test would be able to detect the HCG levels within a few days of getting pregnant, but why did the blood test fail to detect anything at that time?" Aiden asked.

Queenie was dumbfounded.

Aiden said, "Queenie, judging from the timing, I think that she only got pregnant after she arrived in Alsburg. However, she insisted that she got pregnant before she left so we really don't know whose child she was pregnant with."

"I understand," Queenie said with a nod. "Do you know anything else?"

"As for the rest, I don't know. She escaped on her own and passed through other countries' immigration checkpoints. Isn't that a little ridiculous? In short, Jodie is very mysterious.

I don't know what exactly is going on."

"I understand," Queenie said. "Is Dr. Clarke back yet?"

"He's back. He came back after Jodie returned."

"Where is Dr. Clarke now?"

"He lives in Hart Villa District," Aiden replied.

"You can ask around there."

"Okay." Queenie left quickly and went to look for Dr. Clarke.

At Hart Villa District.

Heinz was also there.

He received a phone call that informed him about some progress in the investigation.

That was why he went there.

He had his address.

The house that Dr. Clarke lived in was actually located just in front of the house that he used to live in. Just on the balcony behind Dr. Clarke's house, you could see the front balcony of the house that Jensen was living in now.

What a coincidence!

After parking his car, Heinz was feeling very surprised when he saw the distance between the two houses.

Jensen also asked, surprised, "Why didn't we know that Dr. Clarke lives here?"

"I'm also feeling very surprised," Heinz replied. "Maybe it's because he was living in Alsburg for the past six years."

"You want to go and personally ask him about this?" Jensen said, "I'll go with you, so that I can testify for you."

"Don't," said Heinz, shaking his head. "He may not say anything if you're there. On the contrary, he might tell me some things that I want to know if it's just the two of us."

"Alright," Jensen nodded and said, "You can go without any worries."

Heinz walked towards the building.

Jensen asked Alice to go back first while he waited downstairs.

Very soon, Heinz arrived upstairs. He knocked on the door of the address given to him.

It did not take long for someone to come and open the door.

The two of them looked at each other. Dr. Clarke, who was wearing a pair of glasses, was obviously stunned. Heinz could even see the surprise through the lenses.

Dr. Clarke knew him.

Heinz was also calmly scrutinizing him. Dr. Clarke was tall, thin, and was quite good looking. He seemed to be a very cultured man and looked a little nerdy with the glasses. Heinz slightly twitched his lips and said, "Are you Aaron Clarke?"

"Heinz Jones!" Aaron exclaimed with a light smile. "I wonder what the famous Mr Jones of Northern City is doing here."

"I believe you should know why I'm here," Heinz said and took a look inside the house. "Can we talk inside?"

Aaron was stunned. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Yes, please come in."

He turned around and entered the room, followed by Heinz.

They walked to the sofa together and Heinz saw that his home was very clean and neat.

"Please have a seat," Aaron said to Heinz.

"Okay, thank you," Heinz responded and sat down. Then he looked up at Aaron with intense eyes.

Aaron was stunned when Heinz scrutinized him. He sat down quietly, looked at Heinz, and said, "Mr. Jones, just tell me your purpose of coming here. There's been no interaction between us, so I don't know why you are here looking for me."

Heinz looked at Aaron, who was still calm at the moment, and replied with a light smile, "Jodie has attempted to commit suicide."

Aaron's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. However, he calmed down very soon.

Heinz was watching him very closely. Therefore, he did not miss every inch of expression on his face.

He was quite a shrewd man, and he was trying his best to keep calm.

Heinz said, "As an old classmate, shouldn't you feel sorry for her?"

"As her husband, you are still talking and laughing here. I'm just an old classmate of hers. What can I say?" Aaron asked Heinz in return.

Heinz smiled gently and replied, "We've divorced, so I am no longer Jodie's husband."

Aaron was startled upon hearing that. However, he seemed to realize that he had gotten too agitated, so he immediately took a deep breath to calm himself down. "When did you two get divorced?"

"We signed the divorce agreement six years ago, and we processed the divorce certificate today," Heinz answered in a deep voice. "And today, she committed suicide." Aaron narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is she dead?"

Heinz was not in a hurry to answer his question. Instead, he was carefully observing his expression.

Feeling tormented, Aaron asked again, "Is she dead or not?"

"No," Heinz replied. "She is in the hospital now."

Obviously, Aaron had calmed down a lot.

He looked at Heinz and asked, "Why did you come and look for me?"

"Dr. Clarke, smart people don't beat around the bush," Heinz said coldly. "Tell me everything about Jodie's pregnancy in Alsburg."

"What do you mean?" Aaron sneered as a hint of impatience flashed across his eyes.
