Chapter 538: Guests? Not seeing them!
Actually, Alaric had thought of this too. The higher-ups were strict, and Neil was really under a lot of pressure at work.
"Sorry, Neil, for causing you trouble."
Originally, it was Alaric who brought this case to Neil. Neil took it on out of his own sense of justice, so it could be said that he willingly accepted this trouble.
Alaric felt bad because Neil got criticized for this case.
"Cut it out, this is my job. Not solving the case on time is my fault, and I deserve to be scolded." Neil replied. "Someone is coming to assist with the case. Hopefully, it will speed things up. You just take care of Stellan and don't worry about this. It's the police matter."
"Alright, thanks for your hard work."
Stellan barely heard what Neil said on the phone. She felt the same as Alaric and felt particularly sorry for Neil.
"It seems this case is really tough." Stellan voiced.
After all, so many years had passed. Many tricky cases couldn't be solved even in ten or twenty years, let alone this old case from seven or eight years ago, with all clues now broken.
"No matter how difficult, there will always be a result. It's just a matter of time," Alaric uttered firmly to Stellan. "The truth is the truth. No matter how many years it has been covered up, it'll come out eventually."
"Yes!" With Alaric's words, Stellan felt particularly reassured. She then spoke, "Alaric, I really feel much better now. You don't have to stay home with me all day. Rowena is also pregnant and needs care. You can't just leave all the work to Cormac."
"I know. Once your three-month check-up is over and everything is fine, I'll go back to the company and give Cormac a break so he can spend time with Rowena."
"Okay." Stellan touched her belly, "Don't worry, our baby will definitely be healthy."
"Definitely." Alaric hugged Stellan, "I'll take you out for a walk. After the walk, we can have lunch and then take a nap."
"Okay."
Although Stellan had always been particularly afraid of getting pregnant again, now that she was pregnant again, and under these circumstances, her pregnancy reactions were particularly strong.
But with Alaric's meticulous care and feeling the presence of the baby in her belly, compared to the discomfort and anxiety, she felt more anticipation for the baby.
Leaning on Alaric's shoulder, they slowed down the pace of life, walking leisurely on the forest path, feeling relaxed and comfortable.
"The hospital renovations are all done. After your check-up, I'll take you to see it," Alaric voiced.
"Okay." Stellan still found it quite unbelievable. "Thinking about becoming the hospital director in the future is hard to believe. Alaric, what's the name of the hospital?"
"How about VitalityCare Medical Center?" Alaric asked for her opinion. "This hospital is just the beginning. Later, we can build chain hospitals across the country."
"I don't have that capability. I'm only suited to be a doctor. I'm really not fit to be a manager." From her previous experience as the acting director of Nexus Innovations, it was clear she didn't have the ability to be a manager.
"How could that be? Even if you're not fit, you need to train yourself. Besides, you have me, don't you?"
"Yes, you are my strong support."
They continued chatting like this, slowly walking around The Knight Mansion. When they returned home, the chef had already prepared lunch.
Although Stellan felt a bit better, she still felt like vomiting after eating. After eating, she went to throw up for a while and then sat on the sofa feeling weak.
"Want to take a nap?" Alaric asked.
"Okay." Stellan lazily responded, and Alaric carried her to the bedroom.
"Since I got pregnant, I seem to have neglected Caspian, Harry, and Elisa," Stellan felt quite guilty. "They've been at school for so long; they must be unhappy. Can you pick them up this afternoon?"
"Okay," Alaric agreed.
Alaric carried Stellan to the bedroom, placed her on the bed, and then got into bed himself, intending to hold her and take a nap.
Just as Alaric was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door. It not only disturbed his sleep but also woke Stellan, which made him very annoyed.
"What is it?" Alaric asked sternly.
"Mr. Knight, there are guests at the house."
"Not seeing anyone!"
'Guests? In the afternoon, during nap time? What guests? He wouldn't see any guests.' Alaric was secretly complaining to himself.
"It's Tommy bringing Mia back."
As soon as she heard Mia's name, Stellan immediately woke up.
Stellan hurriedly got up. Seeing her so excited, Alaric quickly reminded her, "Stellan, slow down. You're pregnant now."
"I know." Stellan said she knew, but she still moved quickly, got out of bed, and opened the door, eager to go out.
Alaric quickly followed her out. Stellan hurried downstairs, and as soon as she saw Mia in the hall, she was overjoyed and surprised!
"Mia!"
Stellan quickened her pace and hurried downstairs. Mia, seeing Stellan, also felt emotionally stirred.
Last time, after overhearing their conversation and realizing that Stellan and Alaric had argued because of her, she left a note that night and left.
Just as Neil had seen in the surveillance footage, she first went to the cemetery to clean Brennan's tombstone, then left alone, taking a taxi out of Arizona at dawn.
After that, she didn't know where to go. She saw a job posting for a housekeeper of her age and applied. Until this morning, Tommy found her.
At first, she didn't want to come back, but Tommy persuaded her for a long time, mainly telling her that Stellan was now weak due to pregnancy and needed care. Hearing this, Mia decided to come back.
"Mia, it's really you!" Stellan excitedly went up to hug her.
"I'm sorry, Stellan, for leaving without saying goodbye and making you worry."
"No, it's my fault. Mia, it's good that you're back. Now that you're here, you can't leave again."
Mia was also too excited to speak. After they calmed down a bit, Alaric explained to Mia: "Mia, I know you must have overheard us arguing, which is why you left. I'm very sorry about that. Something happened at the time, and I was in a bad mood. It wasn't intentional."
"No, Mr. Knight, please don't say that. I don't deserve your apology," Mia replied, feeling very uneasy.
"Since Mia is back, there's no need to talk about the past." Gillian jumped in at this moment.
She had accompanied Tommy to find Mia and brought her back to Arizona.
