My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1944 She Was Acting Weird

"I guessed it right, didn't I? I must have. Otherwise you wouldn't be looking so shocked." Jefferson stared at him in utter disbelief as she smiled gently and calmly. Adrienne continued, "I have been trying to find the murderer who killed them for the past two years, but I never thought that..."

Jefferson grabbed her on the shoulder and said with his teeth gritted, "Yes, Adrienne, you're right. Your father didn't die, and he's living under a new identity. Your mother was the only one who died two years ago."

"So he just stood by and watched those bad guys hurt my mother? Or was he the person who killed her?" Adrienne reckoned that such things wouldn't even happen in soap operas, and yet she was experiencing it herself.

"I'm not sure. The only person who knows the truth is your father." Back then, the crime scene was destroyed, and even the supposed victim was different right then. It would be tough for them to find out the truth unless Sheridan confessed his crimes himself.

Adrienne took a deep breath before asking,

"Jefferson, can you tell me what he had been up to in the past two years?"

"He's now the head of the largest drug trafficking group in Chatterton Town, and also the instigator behind those serial cases we have recently encountered." Each word he spoke was like an arrow that shot right through Adrienne's heart. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She didn't want to believe it, but she had to.

Adrienne knew that Jefferson would not tell her all this so confidently if he hadn't already found evidence.

She wanted to cry, but she couldn't. "In the past two years, I have fantasized countless times, hoping that everything that had happened was just a dream. I would always dream that my parents would still be alive once I wake up from my sleep... Now that I know he's still alive and what he did, I actually wished that he did die two years ago."

"Adrienne..." The moment Jefferson called her name, she interrupted him once again, "Jefferson, do you think I should be happy or sad?"

"Adrienne, stop! Stop talking!" He grabbed her hand and found that her hand was as cold as ice. He immediately wrapped it in his palms and rubbed it. "Don't overthink, okay?" "I'm fine." She glanced at him with a smile. She still had him; there was nothing that couldn't be solved with him by her side. "We have already agreed that whoever goes against the law must be brought to justice. No one can be an exception."

Jefferson nodded, and Adrienne continued, "Jefferson, I know that considering my current position, I shouldn't ask you any more questions, but I can't help but wonder. Have you already gotten any conclusive evidence of his crime?"

"Yes, I have what I need. I'm just waiting for the opportunity to take him and his organization down in one fell swoop." Although this was confidential information, Jefferson decided to be honest with her. He believed that Adrienne had her principles and professional ethics. He had faith that she would not reveal any of these to anyone.

Adrienne asked again, "Can I meet him?"

Jefferson knew who she was referring to and he wasn't surprised by her request at all. He wasn't worried about her disclosing anything, rather he was concerned that she would get hurt.

He questioned back with great solemnity, "Adrienne, are you sure you want to meet him?"

"You've misunderstood me." Adrienne did not know if she was just cold- blooded or if it was because she had gone through too many things. At this point in time, even after learning the truth of his father's doings, she could still keep her composure. She had a smile on as she spoke to Jefferson, "I'm asking to meet him after you've brought him to justice, not before that.

Sheridan was no longer the kind father she knew; he was an evil man. There was nothing he wouldn't do for his own benefit. If she met him, who knew what sort of things might happen? As a forensic doctor, Adrienne knew that she mustn't be that silly to take such a risk.

Besides, she knew Jefferson too well. He had evidence of Sheridan's crimes, and he knew Sheridan's whereabouts. Nevertheless, she knew that he hadn't acted on anything because of her.

Jefferson stared at her composed expression. However, the more she acted like that, the more worried he became. "Adrienne, you don't have to get involved in this. Just treat it as if he had really died two years ago. I'll take care of the rest."

"No matter how evil he is, he is still the person who raised me, and his blood flows within me," She didn't want to be involved, but since it had something to do with her, she couldn't just leave it be. Otherwise, she would live in self-blame and remorse for the rest of her life. That was not the life she wanted to live.

Just like any other woman, all she wanted was to find a job after graduating from university and build a family with the man she loved. A simple and peaceful life was all she wished.

"Listen to me, Adrienne!" Jefferson gripped her shoulders tightly, almost crushing her bones. "No matter who he is, you are you. You are your own person. You should never be the one to pay the price for his mistakes."

"I know, I know. I've always known that." She obviously knew that she was her own person, but so what? In the end, she couldn't just stand by like an observer, could she?

Jefferson knew that there was no way he would be able to dissuade her from meeting Sheridan. He held her by the shoulders and let her look at him. "Adrienne, you can meet him, but on one condition."

"What is it?" Adrienne asked.

"When you see him, no matter what he tells you, and no matter what the truth is, make sure you don't take it to heart. You have to put the past behind and start a new life," Jefferson uttered.

Adrienne knew that Jefferson was waiting for her to agree. But right now, she didn't know how she would react after meeting Sheridan, so she couldn't give him a definitive answer.

Adrienne's silence made Jefferson even more worried. He shouted her name painfully,

"Adrienne!"

Adrienne chuckled. "I'm not deaf. Can you stop shouting?"

Jefferson wanted to hear the answer he wanted from her. "Adrienne, can you promise me that?" "You know, even if I promise you now, I can't guarantee what I'll end up doing when I see him. Even so, do you still need an answer from me?" Adrienne didn't know how she would react, and she couldn't lie to him.

"I will arrange for you two to meet each other once I've brought him to justice." Jefferson's arms fell powerlessly. Perhaps he shouldn't have worried about telling Adrienne the truth, but rather what would happen when Adrienne and Sheridan met each other.
