"If you dare, let me go," Melody Thorne had no intention of fearing Jared Quinn at all. She knew very well that Jared would rather hurt himself than let her get hurt.

Jared Quinn picked up the phone with his left hand and dialed Leon Rivers’ number.

"Bro, Jared," said Leon Rivers, dazed by all the evidence he had found.

His handsome hair was in disarray like a bird’s nest, his eyes vacant, because he had discovered a problem: he found out that Melody Thorne was indeed Timmy’s biological mother.

All along, there had been secret surveillance installed here, which he had later dismantled, never bothering to worry about who that woman was. But today, he saw the truth, saw the truth about Melody Thorne.

After his surgery, the woman who had brought her here unveiled her mask, spoke a few harsh words to her, and then put her mask back on, and it was through this process that he discovered the truth.

"Bro, Jared, do you know whose child Timmy is?" Leon Rivers reiterated the question.

Jared Quinn glanced down at the uneasy woman in his arms and replied, "Melody Thorne’s."

Leon Rivers responded, "...I am seriously asking you."

Why did it feel like the person on the other end was joking?

"Am I not serious?"

"Timmy is Melody Thorne’s biological child. I only found out recently. I discovered she was the woman I operated on," Leon Rivers stated the fact.

He thought that when Jared Quinn heard the truth, he would at least be shocked and surprised, but he did not expect the other party to just respond blandly, saying "I know."

"You know?" Leon Rivers lost his composure. "I just found out. When did you know?"

Jared Quinn glanced at the time. "Just now."

Leon Rivers: "..."

"Leon, come to Crestfall right away," Jared Quinn said.

"What’s the big deal?"

"Remember I told you about the Quinn Family’s medical history? The Seymour Family just tested me, and I can’t control my urge to kill."

And he wanted to kill the woman he cared about the most.

"Impossible," Leon Rivers reacted strongly. "That situation only happens in the later stages; it can’t occur early on. Haven’t you seen Titus Quinn? He’s clearly in the early stages, but he’s been abroad these days, emotionally stable, with no signs of severe outbreaks. Even under hypnosis, it’s not possible."

Being both a doctor and hypnotist, he understood this point very well.

"Are you sure?" Jared Quinn narrowed his eyes.

"I am sure. Wait for me there, I’ll head over shortly," Leon Rivers said and hung up the phone.

Jared Quinn was still pondering over something when the phone was taken from his palm. "Jared, do you think just making a call will get you off the hook for what you’ve said and done today?"

The corner of Jared Quinn’s eye twitched. "If in a dream, you dreamt of killing me, would you still be in the mood to sit in my arms right now?"

"No," Melody Thorne answered very seriously. "I would definitely find a place to bury you."

Jared Quinn: "..."

"When did you find out Timmy was your child?" Jared Quinn had completely calmed down, his deep black eyes intense, the light within them swirling.

Melody Thorne avoided eye contact. "Why should I tell you? Weren’t you just talking about locking me up?"
