After venting. Simon finally said, “Naomi’s autopsy report does show she died from a drug overdose, there’s no doubt about that. It’s just,”
“Just what?”
“Just, we’re not sure if she injected herself.”
“What are you saying?”
Simon said, “1 saw Michaela’s note saying the injection wound was from inside to outside. Normally, if someone injects themselves, most people do it from outside to inside, especially since she injected the outside of her upper arm. Even if her injection habit was from inside to outside, the angle of the needle isn’t right”
Liam frowned, “There are doubts, but no case?”
“Because no other person’s hair or fingerprints were found at the scene, and Naomi’s family members aren’t claiming her body Normally, no one is going to investigate unless there’s evidence. You know how it is. Besides, this case doesn’t even have a suspect; the prosecutor can’t do anything”
Liam was silent
It was terrifying to have doubts but not be able to find traces of a crime.
“Oh, right.” Simon suddenly remembered. Your wife’s makeup skills were pretty good last time. You didn’t even recognize her. Michaela asked me to ask who did her makeup. They want to send someone to learn so they won’t be easily recognized when they go undercover”
Liam was at a loss.
As soon as Celeste walked through the doors of Cuisine Cascade, she saw Steven standing in the lobby, talking on the phone in a casual shirt and pants.
He looked very relaxed and comfortable, making him seem a lot softer than before
Celeste carefully observed his eyes and eyebrows, realizing that they did look alike
No wonder Trisha always said Steven looked friendly.
As she was thinking, Steven turned around, hung up the phone, and walked towards her.
Celeste clutched her bag tightly, standing nervously in place.
Steven, however, gently grabbed her wrist, “Follow me.”
Celeste nervously followed him.
When they got in the elevator, Steven finally turned to look at her
Celeste was wearing a mask and a hat, so he could only see her eyes.
But it was these eyes that filled Steven with bitterness.
He brushed her long hair back behind her shoulders and said softly. “Your grandparents are very warm. If you feel uncomfortable and want to leave, just tell me. I’ll take you away, they won’t blame you.”
Upon hearing this, Celeste felt touched
So apart from Liam and Caitlyn, there was also this group of people carefully considering her feelings and looking forward to their reunion.
Celeste smiled and said softly, “Bro, I might not be as enthusiastic as you guys at first, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like you”
Steven was taken aback, then he laughed and pulled her into his arms, his voice hoarse as he said, “Welcome home, Elise.”
Celeste was dumbfounded.
Only after Steven let go of her did she ask softly, “Elise? Was that my original name?”
Steven took the gift she was holding from her hands and said, “Your mom picked that name. She wasn’t sure if you were going to be a boy or a girl. If you were a girl, you’d be Elise. If you were a boy, you’d be Elliot.”
Sadly, the child was born prematurely, coming into this world ahead of time, and after a complicated birth, the mother died from severe blood loss.
Elise. This name carried such a poignant meaning
The Garcias must have been eagerly anticipating the child’s birth.
When they got out of the elevator, Steven led her to the door of a private room, knocked twice, and pushed the door open.
He turned back, smiling at her, “Celeste, come on in.”
