He lowered Munchkin onto the floor. He opened the collar and revealed Munchkin's small face. "Munchkin, many
strangers will be coming in in a while, but don't be afraid. Daddy will be next to you the entire time, so be good,
hold onto me, and don't move. Do you understand?"
"Got it!" The little guy nodded seriously.
After that, Theo raised the coat and covered Munchkin's entire face before picking him up again.
Munchkin's hands just barely managed to stretch themselves out the sleeves to tightly hug Theo's neck. Even so,
he could not see the outside because the coat was obstructing his view.
After ensuring Theo was protecting him well, Theo touched his waist. At this moment, a ding sounded. As
expected, the elevator opened its doors on the next floor.
Theo was standing in front of me. With one arm carrying Munchkin, he used the other to quickly fish out his
handgun from behind his waist before aiming it at Munchkin's forehead.

The elevator doors slowly opened. The people standing at the door initially wanted to rush in, but when they saw
Theo's actions inside the elevator, they all stood in place from fear.
"Take one step and you'll have to bear the consequences."
| saw the blue veins on the back of Theo's hand pulsate. | knew how much force he was exerting.
Hearing this, the people at the doors naturally did not dare to move a muscle. After a stalemate that lasted for
nearly one minute, the elevator doors slowly began to close before continuing its way down.
Theo put away the gun, and | was relieved.
He turned to me. "Sorry, | didn't have enough tto go over things with you."
There was sguilt in his eyes.
| shook my head and leaned my head against his shoulder. "It's all my fault. If | hadn't been so stupid this time,
the three of us wouldn't be in so much danger now."
"It's okay. | can solve it."
He put away the gun and pattedon the shoulder.
This time, the elevator made no stops along the way. Despite that, Theo did not let his guard down.
When we were about to reach the first floor, he heldbehind him and reached his hand behind his waist
again.
The elevator doors opened, and there was a row of people in black standing outside. In front of them stood Alex
who had a faint smile on his face.
Theo hugged Munchkin and walked out of the elevator calmly.
"Mr. Grant, we haven't seen each other for a while." Alex stretched his hand out to
Theo. On his face was again that annoying smile.
"It's been a long time. Thank you for

| knew Theo was just being polite but Alex smiled gently. "Mr. Grant don't be so in a hurry to leave. It's not easy
to have you chere, so why don't you stay for a simple meal?"
"I'm not interested in having a meal in a hospital," Theo said with a laugh as he walked toward the gate.
| stood beside him. He was yanking my hand tightly.
We were still surrounded, but | was no longer afraid.
"You might not want to, but I insist." We had just taken two steps when Alex's voice sounded again.
"Why don't you inviteto your plastic surgery hospital so | can have a look at the place, Mr. Grant? I'm quite
interested in this project."
I could tell what Alex's intentions were.
"If you're interested, let's convene
another day. I'm going to spend twith my family properly today." Theo held my hand even tighter. | could
obviously tell that his pace had also quickened.
"In that case, | won't force you to stay. Mr. Grant, please travel safely." Alex's voice sounded far behind Theo.

| was also a little curious as to why he was so nervous, but the next second, | heard the sound of a gunshot.
