| pursed my lips and said a little helplessly, "I crave crab, braised pork, glazed pork..."
| listed out a bunch of dishes as Theo listened with a smile. He did not seem to be memorizing any of it, so |
stopped listing them out.
I was in a rush to take Munchkin to the hospital, so 1 grabbed my bag and planned to leave.
When | left Theo's office and got to the elevator, | bumped into Theo's secretary.
| saw that there was a pile of documents in her arms and she was a little distracted. She did not realize that she
had dropped a file.
| picked up the file and quickly called out to her, "Hey there."
She turned back only after I called her twice. | waved the document in my hand and said with a smile, "You
dropped a file."
The secretary was stunned and thankedwhile taking the file from my hand.

"What's with you today, Amelia?" A person walked out of the elevator. "You delivered the wrong file and now
you're dropping things. Are you unwell?"
Amelia quickly shook her head, but her eyes were starting to turn pink.
It turned out that it was Keith. After lecturing Amelia, he looked atand asked, "Are you leaving, Mrs. Grant?"
| nodded. "I have things to attend to."
Seeing the worried look on Amelia's face, | felt a little worried, but as | was in a rush to leave, | did not ask any
questions. | went into the elevator and got ready to leave.
There were still reporters downstairs waiting for Theo. They were hoping to worm something out of him when he
cout.
If I left from the company's main entrance, then | would undoubtedly bump into the reporters. | thought about it
and left from the back door of the company.
At this moment, Petra gavea call. | answered the call while searching for my car keys.
On the other end of the call, Petra asked," Are you at Grant Corporation now, Wanda?"
| let out a soft hum. After finding my car keys, | asked, "I just left Grant Corporation and plan to go home. How's
Munchkin doing? Is he still having a fever?" "No, his fever has gone down. It has happened several times now.
His fever will quickly go down, then it'll cback again a few days later. | don't know if he'll have a fever again
after this."
"I'd better take him to the hospital, then."
Otherwise, Petra would not stop worrying. It was better to take Munchkm to the hospital so everyone could be at
ease.
| was just about to drive when | heard a loud bang.
My heart trembled in shock. | followed the source of the sound and looked in that direction.
A person covered in blood was lying on the ground. The blood that was slowly flowing out made it hard forto
make out her face. | could only identify the person to be a woman from her messy, blood- soaked hair.

My pupils contracted, and my mind went blank.
The shock I received from such an encounter was too great. My legs were already turning weak.
When Petra noticed that | had not spoken for a long time, she asked a little worriedly, "What's wrong, Wanda?
Did something happen over there?"
| wanted to answer her, but | realized that | was not able to make a sound after opening my mouth.
"Ahhhh!" someone started screaming.
"Someone has jumped off the building. Call the police."
Everyone was full of fear.
People gradually surrounded the area. | never knew that there was so much blood in a person's body. A large
area of the floor tiles had been soaked with blood.
Certain images would be etched in one's mind after just one glance. Perhaps they might even appear often in «
one's dreams.
