Love Hidden in the Bones novel Chapter 3

After all traces were erased, the two brothers exchanged a look and breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Ethan took off his gloves, pulled out his phone, and contacted the kidnapper.

After ensuring Olivia was safely returned, he turned to leave.

Suddenly remembering something, he paused, scrolled through his phone, and clicked on my WhatsApp.

In the sea of white chat bubbles, there were occasionally one or two green ones.

All of them were perfunctory replies like 'uh-huh' and 'okay.'

The last message was from him, the photo of the star-themed restaurant.

Actually, even this one wasn't sent by him, but by Olivia using Ethan's phone.

The time stamp was this morning.

But she didn't get to see my breakdown as I had hoped. The car turned into a side alley halfway, and I was kidnapped.

At the same time, Emma's call came in.

Like me, she had also seen the photo. Her husband's perfunctory attitude and lies had plunged her into prenatal depression, and she wanted to confide in me.

But the kidnapper took my phone and imitated my tone, tricking her into coming with a few words.
