Chapter 76
Liam's POV
We arrived at our house at exactly 5 pm. After instructing the police to keep an eye on Principal Tom or Dr. Paige, we went inside the house. My parents and Aunt Agnes are waiting for us inside.
" Oh, thank God! You are safe, honey. I was so worried." Aunt Agnes hugged Bella and Sophie. My parents did the same, then we all gathered in the living room to talk about what happened.
" Bella, sweetheart, you had us worried sick. Who would have guessed that Principal Tom is the perpetrator? He seemed a decent man and kind." My mom told Bella and shook her head in disbelief.
" I know, although I was really uneasy around him even before, never in my wildest dream would I thought of him as Jenny's brother," Bella replied.
" I still don't understand why these two wanted revenge. What is it that you did so wrong to this Jenny that made them so angry?" My dad asked, puzzled by the whole situation.
" I don't know too, dad. All I know is we parted ways because she cheated on me multiple times. If there's somebody who should be having a grudge, it should be me." I answered him and threaded my fingers through my hair.
" I think she was vindictive because she was humiliated that night. But why blame it on us when she did it to herself. She was slut in school all those years. People know that. Why target us? all we did was tell Liam about her sleeping around, but he never really believed us until he witnessed it himself." Collette said.
" Whatever the reason is, they are still guilty for Bella's and Sophie's accident, and they need to be punished. You are still in danger until these two get caught." Aunt Agnes butted in. Before anyone could speak, my phone rang. It is a call from Detective Drew.
" Detective, any news? Did you catch him?" I asked him right away.
" No, Dr. Jones. I am sorry. We were too late. When we got there, he already escaped. When he realized that Bella and your daughter are gone, he left the place in a hurry before the police could get there. Let's be thankful that the owner of the store helped them escape." Detective Drew reported, and I cursed under my breath in frustration.
That son of a bitch is still out there, so is his sister. It means all our lives are still in danger. I want these two crazy siblings caught!
" Do you have any lead on where he might be? What about Jenny? Were you able to find her yet?" I asked him again. I am so stressed and frustrated. I won't be able to breathe if they are still at large.
" We are working on it, Dr. For the meantime, do not let your family go anywhere without an escort, and do not let them out of your sight. Report to us right away if he ever makes contact again. Every station in the county was already notified about them. Their photos are being distributed throughout town, the local newspaper and television." Detective Drew advised us.
' One more thing, Dr. Jones. It is confirmed that the body found at the abandoned building really belonged to Dr. Paige Johnson. Jenny Wilson and her brother killed her and burned her beyond recognition, but her dental matches. Jenny Wilson had plastic surgery and copied her face and stole her identity."
" You are dealing with a very dangerous and crazy people, Dr. Jones. Be on guard and do not trust anyone. I guess you learned your lesson with your brother-in-law, right? I'll call you as soon as we have leads on their whereabouts."
" Thank you, Detective. Please keep me posted." I ended the call and sighed in frustration. I felt Bella's hand on my shoulder, and I turned to her with weary eyes.
" He escaped. He knew that you were gone and that the police are coming. They are now tagged as wanted criminals, and all the county police force is looking for them. Still, we have to be cautious and do not go out alone." I looked around me.
" Especially you, baby. I'm sorry, I forgot that you have good news. I am so happy, baby, that we will soon have another angel. You should have told me sooner. I wouldn't have allowed you to go on this trip." I told her, and she hugged me.
" I am so sorry, babe. I wanted to surprise you, but so many things happened that I've decided to do it after the trip." She said, hiding her face in my neck.
" Oh, yes, Bella. Congratulations to you both, sweetheart. We are so happy and excited about this new addition to the family. Do you hear that, Sophie? You will be a big sister!" My mom said excitedly and clapped her hands.
" Honey, I am so happy for you. But Liam was right. You should have told us right away. What if that crazy Tom succeeded in k********g you? I don't even want to think about it." Aunt Agnes scolded Bella, and she sorry to everyone.
My sister Collette was so quiet on the corner that I turned to her and asked her if she is alright. She just nodded and said she wanted to lie down before dinner. She said she's having a headache and will go to her room. I know she's worried about Todd, and I don't blame her.
I know how much she loved Todd, and to know that he betrayed us, betrayed her, really hurt her. I will go to the station and talk to Todd. I want to know exactly how he got caught up in all these messes. I still want to give him a chance to explain himself.
" Alright, I'm going to the kitchen and prepare dinner. Bella, you lie down as well, hon. Rest for a while, and I will have Liam fetch you once the dinner is ready. Sophie, sweetheart, do you want to help your grandma cook dinner?" My mom declared, standing up.
" I'll help you, Carmen. Come on, sweetheart, let us help grandma." Aunt Agnes volunteered, and they all went to the kitchen. My dad went to his study to do some paper works.
" Let's go, baby. Let's get you to bed. I know you are tired after all the excitement of today." I helped Bella on her feet and carried her up to my room. She laid her head on my chest and closed her eyes. She must be exhausted and stressed out.
I kissed her head and placed her on the bed. I placed the overs on her and kissed her again. She is out the moment her head hits the pillow. I looked at her one more time and went out. I want to talk to Collette. I know she's hurting and needed a shoulder to cry on. I, too, am hurting for her. Right now, she needed her big brother.
