Chapter 438

Upon hearing this, Robert immediately took out his sister’s photo from his wallet. Teresa and Hayes curiously

peeped in with their heads popped up on their tiptoes.

There, within the folds of a daffodil yellow blanket, lay a tender little girl. Her eyes were wide and curious, and her

tiny mouth was curved upwards in anticipation of the world before her.

She was a little baby!

Teresa looked it carefully, falling into silence.

Seeing her quiet for so long, Robert anxiously asked, “Did you figure something out?”

Swallowing hard, Teresa replied, “This little girl is quite pretty. Seems even a tad bit more beautiful than me.”

Robert was at a loss for words, “Who asked you that! Didn’t you say you could tell how she looks now just by looking

at her photo?”

Teresa stared fixedly at the picture of the baby girl, her mind blank.

Robert looked at Teresa with a hint of disappointment, “You can’t tell?”

Teresa shook her head reluctantly, pulling a sad face, “She’s too young.”

Robert started to doubt Teresa’s expertise, ‘Aren’t you the one who can sketch an elderly from a three-year-old’s

picture?”

What an empty reputation!

Teresa immediately corrected him, “Yes, but look at this baby girl, she’s not even three! She’s just born, without

eyebrows and even her facial features aren’t fully formed yet. How am I supposed to sketch that?”

“You’ve sketched from blurry CCTV footage before, why can’t you sketch this? You can definitely do it!”

No matter what, Teresa’s reputation was well-known, regardless of his doubts, he had to give it a try.

Teresa felt a huge burden, the weight of the task ahead made her feel pressured.

The little one furrowed her brows, her face serious, “Actually, I can do it, but it will take a lot of time, and I will need

to use a human body mold.”

Robert’s hope was rekindled, “Whatever it takes, as long as you can sketch, I will fulfill any condition you ask!”

“Really?”

“Yes!” Without any hesitation, Robert immediately agreed to Teresa’s terms.

But remembering her knack for coming up with all sorts of ideas, he quickly added, “But you can’t ask for the moon

and the stars, and I can’t name an asteroid after you!”

Teresa puffed up with pride.

Of course, Robert can’t match up to her real father! Her dad was the most incredible man in the world! No one

could compare!

“I get it, I get it. You’re more nagging than godmother! I don’t need anything now, just get the human body mold

and then come find me.”

After Teresa had spoken, she hastily took Hayes’ hand, her voice sweet as honey, “Hey, Little mute, let’s go find my

mom, okay?”

Upon hearing the mention of Marguerite, Hayes’ eyes lit up, nodding enthusiastically, his eyes curving like

crescents, “Okay!”

Meanwhile, in a half-built building on the outskirts of town.

Hammond was tied up, his body battered and bruised, his face unrecognizable from the beating.

A bodyguard raised his whip, ruthlessly lashing it towards Hammond’s already wounded body.

With each whip, Hammond howled in agony

“Mr. Winston, I really don’t know anything! I’ve been with you for years, from when you were still a doctor at

Stonebridge Memorial Hospital, taking orders from Mr. Powell to assist you.

How could I possibly harm your wife or your child? I certainly don’t know where your missing child is! It’s all Janie’s

doings! She set me up! She wants to take my place!”

Hammond was tearful as he pleaded, his eyes filled with deep fear.

In the vast unfinished building, Maurice sat lazily on a high-end leather couch in the center.

He sat with his legs crossed, idly twirling a razor-sharp dagger in his hand.

His expression was indifferent, but the cruelty radiating from him was bone-chilling.

He slowly lifted his eyelids, his gaze settling emotionlessly on Hammond’s swollen face, “Even with the evidence

against you, you are still lying? Seems like you don’t value your life at all.”
