Chapter 462
"He's just a child! He doesn't understand anything-don't scare him!"
"He's a child, yes. He's your son. But have you ever thought about this? Tina was your daughter. She was just a
college student, not even out in the real world yet. If your son saw the bad guy, why are you stopping him from
speaking? Do you know who it was?"
Mrs. Mendes snapped, furious. "Know what? What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Sarah unlocked her phone and placed it in front of Mrs. Mendes. "Look carefully. I'm calling the police."
Her finger hovered over the emergency dial button, ready to press down. "Wait! Don't!" Mrs. Mendes panicked
and quickly reached out to stop her.
Sarah lowered the phone. "Then lettalk to your son."
"|..." Mrs. Mendes hesitated, seeming torn.
"That day, when Mom went to buy groceries, | saw my sister following someone upstairs. That person must be a
bad guy. Tina hasn't cback yet-did the bad guy take her away?" The little boy's voice was innocent, his
words filled with childlike confusion. He was still too young to understand what death meant.
Mrs. Mendes froze. She suddenly grabbed her son's hand tightly. "What do you mean? Are you saying that after |
left for the market, someone took your sister away?"
"Yeah! She didn't want to go at first, but that person kept pulling her upstairs."

Sarah's expression turned serious as she looked at the boy. "Tellwas it a man or a woman?"
"It was a woman. A really pretty lady."
The boy smiled as he spoke, completely unaware that this "pretty lady" had likely been the one responsible for
his sister's death.
Mrs. Mendes's face flickered with a strange emotion, like she had suddenly recalled something. She looked
dazed.
"Tommy, why didn't you mention this before?"
Tommy blinked. "You never asked me."
Sarah, however, caught on to something else entirely. "Tommy, do you like her?"
Just moments ago, he had been frightened, worried sick about his sister. But the moment he brought up that
woman, he smiled. Sarah could tell-Tommy must have really liked her.
Sure enough, Tommy nodded vigorously. "She gavechocolate when she came. Two pieces." He shivered
slightly as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a gold-wrapped chocolate. "I already ate one. This one... |
wanted to save for my sister, but she never cback."
Sarah's eyes landed on the golden wrapper, where the Ademine logo shimmered under the light. Suddenly, she
smiled. "Tommy, how about | help you give this chocolate to your sister?"
Before Mrs. Mendes could process why Sarah had said that, Tommy had already handed over the chocolate
without hesitation. "Okay! But you have to make sure she gets it."
"Tommy, since you like her, why did you call her a bad person?"
"Because she took my sister away."
His childish smile veredslighitly, a

hadn't his sister cback? The

room.

"Mrs. Mendes, are you still refusing to tell the truth?"
Mrs. Mendes trembled. "W-what do you mean?"
She pretended not to understand, her gaze locked onto Sarah, trying to mask her fear.
