Chapter 696 The Anonymous Letter

When he returned to the office once more, his desk was laden with a heap of snacks.

However, Nilou and Rhizone were still somewhat reserved, not daring to touch anything.

Seeing them return, the siblings stood up and asked, “Josiah, Dr. Thorne, is this your child?”

Josiah paused for a moment before responding with a simple hum.

“You two have a child? Dr. Thorne never mentioned it before.”

Nilou used to help her parents take care of Rhizone when they were kids. Looking at Aurora’s tiny face, she exclaimed, “She’s so adorable! My brother was never this fair when he was a baby.”

A look of confusion crossed Rhizone’s face. “How come I didn’t know?”

“Fool! How could you possibly remember things from when you were not even a year old?” Nilou was quick–witted and clever. Her unexpected remarks always managed to amuse people.

Lysander returned with a smile, having prepared the baby formula, and joined. Josiah in soothing Aurora.

Aurora was quite familiar with their scents. Once the baby bottle was in her grasp, her crying naturally ceased. Her eyes, still moist with tears, quickly brightened up. with laughter.

Upon seeing the situation, Josiah tentatively attempted to sit down. However, the moment he barely touched the couch, Aurora crinkled her nose, letting out a whimpering sound.

That was a sign that tears were about to come.

In an instant, Josiah stood back up with Aurora in his arms. With one hand steadying the baby bottle and the other cradling her, he moved around the lounge with practiced ease and gentleness.

but to say, “Aurora has just left her mother and doesn’t feel secure yet. It’ll get better after a while. Let’s take turns comforting her.”

“No need,” said Josiah in a gentle voice. “You’ll probably be busy soon. Right now, your main priority should be to rest and recharge.”

The way he spoke made it sound as though he could just kick back and relax next.

After he finally managed to coax Aurora into settling back down in the baby stroller, a video call from Carol came through.

“Mr. Guerra, I’ve divided the sample into two parts. One has already been sent to a specialized testing facility, but it will take some time to get the results. I’ve kept a portion for myself as well, just in case,” Carol said.

Josiah nodded, saying, “You’ve always handled matters appropriately. I have nothing to worry about.”

When he spoke, he deliberately kept some distance from the baby stroller so as not to let his businesslike tone affect Aurora’s mood. Lysander had not communicated with him in advance, but at this moment, she intuitively turned on the electric wind chime hanging in the baby stroller’s sunshade to distract her

attention.

After Carol finished her report, she didn’t hang up. Instead, she lowered her voice and added, “Mr. Guerra, aside from the water sample, I’ve made another discovery. Someone has placed something in our car.”

Nilou, being particularly observant, noticed that Carol seemed to be on the verge of discussing something crucial with Josiah. Taking the initiative, she pulled Rhizone along and said, “Josiah, Dr. Thorne, Rhizone and I will go outside and play for a while.”

“It’s okay,” Josiah said softly. “What I’m about to discuss relates to the lake in the village. If you’re interested, stick around.”

He was a man of his word, truly committed to nurturing these two children.

Not only was Nilou intelligent, but she was also bold. Hearing his consent, she truly decided to stay and kept Rhizone with her.

From a young age, Rhizone always listened to Nilou’s words. Even though he felt somewhat confused in this unfamiliar place, he still followed ben

To alleviate their nervousness, Lysander deliberately sat down next to them, and they all listened together.

Carol said, “It’s an envelope. I’m not sure what’s inside, but I have a hunch that there’s a significant reason behind the sender’s efforts. It seems to be a matter of great importance, so I refrained from opening it on my own initiative.”

Josiah brought his phone closer for a better look, his cyebrows deeply furrowed.

The envelope was small, but if it was meant for poisoning or intimidation, stuffing a few razor blades inside would have been sufficient.

Lysander recognized it immediately and said, “There’s an elementary school in the village, Hope Elementary School. The test papers they use are repeatedly printed. on this type of paper. I’ve seen elementary school students at the health center doing their homework while receiving an IV drip.”

Upon learning that this letter was most likely from a villager, Josiah said, “Open it.”

“Understood.”

Carol, with the video rolling, confidently tore off the tape on the spot.

What fell out were two ordinary sheets of paper, folded together, densely filled with words. The handwriting was very neat, but there was no signature, neither at the beginning nor at the end.

Nilou had only started elementary school, and she was still learning to read and write. As for Rhizone, he had just begun learning the alphabet. Even if they huddled close together, they couldn’t understand a thing. Hence, they patiently waited for Lysander and Josiah to finish reading and then explain the situation to them.

Having spent countless hours perusing medical literature, Lysander had developed. the skill of speed reading, processing the information even faster than Josiah. “It seems to be about some insider details related to this case,” she said.

Carol also took a moment to read and nodded in agreement. “The letter is anonymous, but what the writer wants to convey seems to be true. The overall situation aligns with what Rhizone and Mr. Alvarez have previously discussed. However, it appears the writer does not want to reveal their true identity, likely out of fear of retaliation.”

Lynde scrutinized the contents of the letter once more.

Through the screen, the wind intermittently blew the letter paper into a chaotic dance. With considerable effort, Lysander managed to read through it, word by word, sentence by sentence.

“Hemmer be talking about the incident involving the university student who died at the bottom of the lake”

Unable to contain her curiosity, Nilou asked, “Dr. Thorne, are you referring to the university student from our villager The adults say that he’s disabled now and has lost his sunity. Wasn’t it due to a car accident?”

She had a bit more knowledge about the matter than Rhizone

“The car accident is merely a ruse” Josiah relayed the content of the letter to the siblings in a softened voice, saying, “The letter states that the only university student who left your village did not let everyone down. He even managed to find a lawyer willing to help However, just as he was about to return, he chanced upon agil being borussed by a hooligan in the vicinity.
