Chapter 9
Henry quickly handed her a tissue.
Before he could comfort her, she spoke as if she had made up her mind, “I have
disturbed you and Yvette for long enough. It is time for me to leave this place. Henry, I am very happy to meet you during this time.”
After listening to her decided goodbye, Henry was silent for a long time.
Then he took out the phone and booked a flight for her.
Xena had already packed her luggage in advance.
If Henry hadn’t come today, she would probably have left this place.
Seeing Henry’s eyes full of reluctance, my broken heart died completely at this
moment.
She was the murderer who killed my father and me!
Just like that, she was sent to the airport and escaped by the person closest to me. Henry looked at her suitcase and frowned slightly.
“Do you have to go? My relationship with her has come to an end. Even without you, we would have come to this point.”
Xena shook her head with a gentle smile.
“It is enough for me to have the best memory of you.”
After saying that, Henry carried her luggage into the
car.
Ever since he heard that Xena was leaving, he had never smiled again.
On the way to the airport, Daniel called him many times.
Which showed the urgency of the casé.
But he hung up all the calls.
Looking at his impatient expression, I froze.
In my memory, Henry was a workaholic.
In order to solve a case, he could live in the police station for a month.
We were still in the honeymoon period at that time.
In our countless dates, he left from the police station and returned to the police station after.
More often than not, he was in the middle of a date when he received news that there was progress in the case.
Even if his colleagues told him that he didn’t have to rush back.
But he still resolutely apologized to me and quickly returned to the team.
He said it was his duty to give an explanation to every deceased.

But at this moment, all his principles gave way to Xena.
Seeing that the real murderer was about to get away, I felt extremely anxious.
With resentment and anger in his heart, Henry almost stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
They arrived at the airport very quickly.
Xena gave him a reluctant hug and turned to board the plane.
I clenched my fists so hard that they almost dug into my palms.
The pain of being killed and dismembered seemed to be less than one in ten thousand of what I was feeling at this moment.
Henry’s eyes followed Xena until she disappeared from his sight.
Daniel’s number had been blocked by him when he was driving to the airport.
But the hospital actually called him.
He picked up the phone with a frown on his face.
“Excuse me, is this Ms. Yvette Smith’s husband? She has missed her scheduled prenatal check–up and tocolysis treatment twice. Is she too busy recently?” Henry’s hand froze as he answered the phone, and his pupils dilated.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
“What?”
He spoke blankly.
The hospital staff asked in confusion, “Don’t you know? She was fatally injured a month ago. We didn’t recommend keeping the baby, but she said she could come for treatments and check–ups on time, so we tried our best.
“But now she has been a week late for the appointment. The last time she came for the prenatal check–up, the fetus was very unstable. If she doesn’t come this time, we have no confidence that we can keep the baby.”
Henry’s hands suddenly lost strength and the phone fell heavily to the ground.
