“Okay then.” Seeing that I looked normal again, Ivy didn’t press the matter.

After breakfast, I found myself with nothing to do.
When someone was idle, their mind tended to wander. The murder case was weighing heavily on my mind, and I couldn’t stop thinking about the elusive killer. I felt an odd sense of unease.
This shadowy figure seemed too outlandish, nothing like a typical murderer.

I had figured out his aversion to blood and his pattern of targeting drunk individuals walking alone, and I reported all this to Caleb.
Despite that, I still wasn’t fully confident about our chances of catching him.
I had never faced him, so I was unsure of his real strength. If he was as powerful as Gale, then Caleb might be in danger.
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I got. I couldn’t help but say worriedly, “Ivy, what do we do? We don’t know what’s happening with Caleb, whether he’s caught the murderer, or if he’s been hurt.”

“Honey, don’t worry.” Ivy noticed my anxiety and offered comfort.
“Don’t overthink it. Caleb is strong and clever. He’ll definitely catch the murderer and keep himself safe!”
I gazed at the sunlight and murmured, “I hope so.”
“It will happen!” Ivy declared confidently, her words brimming with certainty.
But then something occurred to her, and she began to grumble, “Honey, honestly, you’re being too careless. You’re pregnant, yet you don’t look after yourself properly. Have you thought about what would happen if the murderer came after you?”
Her irritation grew.
“Besides, we have no clue how dangerous this murderer is, and there were no witnesses at the scene. It’s just luck that we weren’t his targets, or we might have been dead by now, meeting only in the afterlife.”
I stayed silent, listening to Ivy’s complaints.
She was right, and I knew it.
“Ivy, I’m sorry.” I gently touched my swollen belly, feeling a twinge of guilt. “I know I need to protect the baby, but every time I think about that murderer hurting people in the Thorn Edge Pack, I just can’t stand it. It was a rash decision.”
Ivy looked unimpressed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “So you just had to confront him because you couldn’t stand being upset?”
I swallowed hard, defending myself. “At that moment, I thought if he got away, someone else would get hurt soon. So, I acted…”
“And he still escaped, didn’t he?” Ivy snapped. “And now you’re being blamed for his crimes, mistaken for the murderer. Look where that’s got you. You’re locked up in this dark cell. The murderer would be thrilled to see this.”
I had no words in response.
As I fell silent, the sound of firm, confident footsteps approached.
I turned to see a tall, strong man coming our way.
