Semua Bab Snowbound Punishment: A Six‑Year‑Old's New Year's Eve: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The man on the bed didn't react, but my son, Terry Heath, had gotten used to it.He carefully placed the biscuit next to the pillow, then quickly devoured his share.He patted his stomach, still hungry.Terry instinctively glanced at the biscuit no one had eaten, then made his way to the kitchen and drank a large glass of cold water.My soul floated in the air. As I watched the scene below, my heart ached.Was this really my son? The one who used to complain about being hungry if dinner was even a little late?How did he change so much in just three days after I died?Suddenly, my phone lit up, revealing a family photo as the wallpaper.In the cozy room, Wendy Lloyd had her arms around me as I lay half-asleep, laughing brightly with Terry for the camera. Their faces had a striking resemblance and bore the same cheerful expression.That day, I had still been asleep when Wendy and Terry quietly tiptoed into the room.Wendy whispered, "Terry, Daddy's still sleeping in. Let's go

At Wendy's words, both Terry and I froze.Especially Terry. He parted his lips, and tears began to fall uncontrollably. "Mommy…"Perhaps those words stirred something in her. Her brows furrowed, and her gaze turned colder than the snowstorm outside."Go ahead. What's your goal this time? Money or a house?" she asked.Terry's hand, hanging at his side, clenched into a fist, but he didn't dare to argue.Once, he had told Wendy that Hudson bullied him.But with just a few words, Hudson made Wendy believe that I had manipulated Terry into accusing him because I was jealous of how well she treated Hudson.That time, Wendy locked me in the basement for a whole week. Terry had nightmares for a week straight.At that thought, Terry couldn't help but shudder. He lowered his head and whispered, "Mommy, I can't wake Daddy up. Can you give me your feather pen?"Wendy's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively asked, "What do you mean, you can't wake him? Didn't he just donate 400 ml of

The chair was violently knocked over, crashing to the ground with a deafening sound.In a panic, Wendy brought the phone to her mouth and demanded, "What rental property? Who are you? This joke has gone too far!"The person on the other end seemed well-acquainted with this kind of situation. Unfazed by her questioning, he replied with cold professionalism, "Ms. Lloyd, please calm down. We're from the Ineford Police Department."An hour ago, we received a report about a strange odor coming from one of your rental properties. When the officers arrived, they discovered the body of a young man who had been dead for three days. After checking his ID, we confirmed the body belonged to your ex-husband, Mr. Elijah Heath."According to neighbors, Mr. Heath was accompanied by a six-year-old boy, who is currently missing. If you have any information, please let us know immediately. Also, if possible, please come to the station to give a statement."Wendy's phone fell to the ground with a lou

Kieran continued, "They also have some questions about Mr. Heath's body."Wendy lowered her eyes, gazing at Terry, who seemed to have fallen asleep in her arms. Her heart felt like it had been pierced, as if the wind was constantly blowing through a large hole.But reason told her that hiding Terry's cause of death was the only right choice.Hudson quickly added, "Wendy, Kieran's right. Even though you didn't mean for this to happen, the situation is what it is. You need to hide Terry's body now."Wendy stared at him, her voice hoarse as she said, "Hudson, I killed Terry, and now I'm hiding his body. He'll never forgive me."A flash of impatience crossed Hudson's eyes, but he quickly masked it with a forced gentleness. "That's not true. Terry has always been such a sensible child. He'll understand your situation. He won't be angry with you. Trust me, Wendy."Terry curled his lips, and his eyes were filled with disgust. "I'll never forgive her!"But Wendy seemed to have found com

"I told the doctor to only take 400 ml! How could it be 2,000 ml?" Wendy asked in disbelief, her eyes bloodshot."You're lying! You must be lying to me!"Then, she laughed bitterly and muttered to herself, "I get it now. You're not a real cop. You must be someone Elijah hired to put on an act here. How much did he pay you to stage this? Tell me! How much did he pay you?"Captain Pugh shook his head and said, "Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. Ms. Lloyd, please come with us to the station."With that, he pulled out handcuffs and moved to arrest Wendy.Wendy, still in disbelief, struggled fiercely.But Kieran turned pale, as if he had realized something. "Could it be…"Wendy paused, her eyes turning bloodshot with fury. "Kieran, do you know something?"Captain Pugh immediately turned to Kieran and asked, "What do you know?"Kieran bit his lip, stammering as he explained, "O-on the day of the blood draw, Mr. Clark secretly met with the doctor. I happened to pass b
