Chapter 297

After Theo left, Captain Lambert handed the phone to Jimmy and said, "Mr. Lincoln, do you want to use the phone? After the call, let's talk about what happened eight years ago." Jimmy took the phone, stood up and walked to a corner to call his little girl. Captain Lambert saw the tall and straight man's back, which was black and sharp. But such a cold man, like a man who would never be inhuman, was coaxing her when Captain Lambert heard him. "I may not be able to go back tonight. Babe, don't be afraid. I'm on a business trip. Well, it's very sudden. Don't be naughty. Don't make your husband worry." Maine asked unhappily, "when will you come back? Tomorrow morning?" "Well, maybe. If you behave well, I'll go back early. If you don't behave well, I'll be late." "Well, I'm good at home. Come back if you can. I'm having dinner. Have you eaten yet?" Jimmy replied indifferently, "yes, I just had it." The little girl on the other end of the line acted coquettishly on the phone, "Jimmy, I've gained seven pounds. It's all your fault." "Well, it's all my fault. But even if you blame me, you should put on more weight. When I go back, I will check if I weigh one hundred pounds." "Spare me! Give me one hundred pounds. Can you carry me?" Jimmy closed his eyes and tried to coax the little girl, "you can carry two hundred pounds. Eat your food. I'll call you later." Maine said softly, "but what if my legs ache tonight? Don't go on a business trip all of a sudden." "Let Yan massage for you." The little girl wrinkled her nose and said, "but I'm used to you." "I'll massage for you every day after I come back." She felt a lump in her throat and said in a small voice, "well, you have to come back as soon as possible." "Babe?" "What?" "Call me." Maine was stunned. "Jimmy." She called his name vividly, which softened his heart. The light in the interrogation room of the police station was dim. "Mr. Lincoln, did you push Francis into the sea eight years ago?" Jimmy's eyes were clear and cold. He pursed his lips and said, "yes." Captain Lambert let out a sigh of relief or sigh. She frowned and asked anxiously, "are you admitting your crime?" The man frowned deeply, and his tense side face was as cold as steel. "It's not murder. I don't admit murder." Captain Lambert took another deep breath. "What's going on?" Before he came in for trial, he received a call from Hayden. He asked him to make it clear when he interrogated. It was not difficult to tell that Hayden was protecting Jimmy. How could Hayden be so shameless? ——He was the youngest bailiff in the central direct military region. What did his call mean? Jimmy couldn't be locked up. "It's not a murder, and Francis is still alive," said Jimmy with a cold and sharp smile Captain Lambert was stunned. "But we did find out that Francis had died eight years ago. Look." Captain Lambert pushed all the documents in her hand to Jimmy, on which all the signs showed that Francis had died. If the evidence was true, then why did Skyla say that Francis was still alive? —— That night, Maine was in a daze. When she woke up, she was sweating profusely. She turned on the light and was wet all over, with sweat on her forehead. She called Yan over, and Yan came in in a hurry in pajamas. He was so nervous to see her in a daze. "Miss Taylor, did you have a nightmare? Why are you sweating so much?" Tears welled up in Maine's eyes. She grabbed Yan's hand and said, "Yan, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that something happened to Jimmy." Yan was startled. Then he sat on the edge of her bed and comforted her, "dreams and reality are the opposite. How could something happen to Mr. Lincoln?" Maine bit her lips, but her dream was so real? In her dream, she grabbed the gun and pressed it against Jimmy's temple. She shouted for help, but no one came to save them. She could only watch the bullet pierce through his head. "Miss Taylor, lie down now. I'll help you take a shower tomorrow morning. It's late at night, and I don't dare to bathe you. It's not good to catch a cold later. Make do with it. Go to sleep. Don't think too much." Yan helped her lie down. Maine was a little scared and shrank tightly in the quilt. Yan asked, "do you need me to accompany you?" Maine just shook her head. "Then I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything." After Yan left, Maine lay in the quilt and calmed down for a while. She wanted to call Jimmy, so she stretched out her arm and took the phone aside. She checked the caller ID, only to find that it wasn't Jimmy's number. She called him, but only a cold mechanical female voice told her that his phone was powered off. Why didn't Jimmy use her phone to call her? When she was about to call that strange number to see if it was Jimmy, a phone call came in. It was still an unknown number. She frowned and picked it up, afraid it was Jimmy. She asked, "who are you?" The voice over the phone was sharp and sweet, "long time no see. Don't you remember me?" Maine tensed up. It was the voice of Skyla. She was on the alert. "What do you want? I tell you, don't hurt my baby. I will fight with you desperately!" Skyla sneered, "it seems that you are afraid of me. But I'm sorry that I'm not interested in your baby at all. I know what I'm most interested in."
