Chapter 1200: Chapter 1172: The Daughter-in-Law is Up to No Good Again (Addition for 1400+ Monthly Votes) Chapter 1200: Chapter 1172: The Daughter-in-Law is Up to No Good Again (Addition for 1400+ Monthly Votes) “My husband's intuition and tactical mind are unmatched, and from a professional perspective, I analyzed that she didn't run because she was worried about her father. Her eyes told me that she didn't take this place seriously, just that escaping would take some time,” she said.
“Dr. Clark, on what basis are you making this conclusion?” someone challenged. What did they think of themselves, coming and going as they pleased?
When Mario Yuno just said that Grace Bradford was planning to escape, these people were not convinced, but they didn't dare to confront Mario Yuno. Now that Kiara said the same, they didn't dare to confront Mario Yuno but dared to question Kiara.
“Based on the expertise of a psychologist. Are you satisfied with that conclusion?” Kiara gave the person who had spoken a glance; his face was somewhat familiar. Kiara curled her lips into a mischievous smile, and Mario Yuno knew right away that his daughter-in-law was up to no good again.
“You psychologists are just good at sweet-talking and evading the issue with your words,” the person remained unconvinced.
“Then I'll tell you something straightforward: you should request your leader to not always assign you night shifts because you're already experiencing psychological issues associated with night shifts, specifically night shift depression due to being active at night and inactive during the day. Have you been feeling emotionally down and lost your appetite recently?”
The person gasped in surprise. My god, that's incredible!
After leaving there, Mario Yuno asked Kiara.
“How did you know he had night shift depression?”
Kiara gave a mysterious smile.
In her past life, she had treated this person. Of course, she couldn't reveal such a secret ability.
The advantage of having such an ability was that she might meet someone from her past life anytime, and just throwing out some bit of leverage could knock them off balance.
Snowflakes began to flutter outside, a vast swath of snow gently falling. When they reached home downstairs, Kiara didn't rush into the building but stood in the courtyard to enjoy the night snow.
Mario Yuno, worried that she might catch a chill, came over to make sure her hat was on properly.
“Camden, turn on the car lights; I want to take a look,” she said.
With the car lights on, the night lights turned the snowy night into a different kind of scenery; underneath the lights, the snow was beautiful, and in the darkness, it had another feel.
The snow quietly fell, and by daybreak, it would dress everything in a layer of different clothing. Kiara watched quietly for a while before speaking.
“I feel like Grace Bradford is another me. Just like how all snow comes from the sky; but look, why does the snow under the lights look so different from the snow in the darkness?” she asked.
Mario Yuno thought Kiara was succumbing to her old issues. Whenever she treated someone and felt empathy, she would struggle to recover for a while.
Just like the time she outsmarted that person with a personality disorder, she herself couldn't recover for three days. As Camden was about to comfort her, he saw Kiara laugh, a truly joyful laugh.
“But at this moment, I am especially grateful to heaven. Thank you for giving me a smooth path, for letting me meet my family, my love, and my child on this path,” she said.
“Eh…? How did you work it out yourself today?” Camden thought he was about to need to comfort her again.
She had fallen too deep before. Mario Yuno once resorted to “drinking therapy,” toasting with her, and even used himself as a human “thing,” tangling with her in the sheets for three days. Today, before he could make his move, she had figured it out on her own?
“I've worked it out. Everything in the world has two sides–an upside and a downside. I used to only see the downside, but now I see only the good. I think I'm living a pretty good life, looking forward to the arrival of our little one every day,” she said.
Mario Yuno understood, smiling as he touched her belly, “So this time, it's our home's big Willa doing the work!”
Other expectant mothers are sentimental, crying for spring one day and feeling autumnal the next, yet his was just so different. With a child, everything is sufficient!
Kiara pretended not to hear him randomly naming the child again.
“Today's case is the most special medical record I've ever taken on, but I feel very grounded. Camden, do you know? My heart is at peace, just like those terminal patients who accepted my treatment. Although I can't change the inevitable ending of death, they can face life and death honestly. I've done what I should, and I am satisfied.”
She did not fail her medical ethics; she would see Grace Bradford's father through to the end. She used her personality and perseverance to prove that benevolence and righteousness could be achieved together.
It seemed like this matter should be coming to an end by now, but Kiara suddenly remembered something.
“Where's 'Beautiful Lady'? Now that the person has been caught, shouldn't 'Beautiful Lady' be returned to me?”
“Uh…”
As soon as Kiara mentioned 'Beautiful Lady,' Mario Yuno started to feel worried.
“About that, let's talk about 'Beautiful Lady' tomorrow, daughter-in-law. Don't you remember our bet? You've lost the bet now, so shouldn't you keep your promise?”
Kiara's face turned red at the mention of the bet, and she no longer cared about admiring the snow and playing the role of a poetic young lady, hurrying down the hallway.
“Don't run! Be careful not to hurt Willa in your belly! Hey, daughter-in-law, you can't go back on your word!”
We agreed, going back on your word is being a puppy!
Whether Kiara successfully went back on her word or was forcibly made to keep the bet by Camden, there's no need to go into details. Let's just say that after breakfast the next day, Kiara sat on the sofa picking her teeth with a toothpick. The issue with Grace Bradford had been resolved, but why did she feel like something was missing…
Her eyes swept around the house. Camden had cleaned up everything spotlessly; the coffee table was also covered with various snacks suitable for pregnant women. Everything seemed so normal, but this quietness made Kiara feel something was off.
Suddenly, her gaze rested on a corner of the living room. That's where 'Beautiful Lady's' bed should be, so why was the bed gone?
Last night, after being kicked out in annoyance by her, Mario Yuno, unable to express his elated mood, hummed a tune and used his surplus energy to clean the house. But why did he remove the bed?
Could it be…
Kiara found it suspicious the way Mario Yuno reacted when 'Beautiful Lady' was mentioned last night, as if he were avoiding the topic. Her heart felt like it had been pricked with a needle. Could it be that 'Beautiful Lady' encountered an accident while on the mission, and had already… passed away in glory?!
Thinking this, the pregnant Kiara felt like she was suffocating. She could only think of this explanation; otherwise, why wouldn't Camden say where 'Beautiful Lady' had gone and why remove her bed?
At this thought, Kiara could bear it no longer. She stood up abruptly, wanting to ask Mario Yuno for the truth, and although she feared he wouldn't tell her, this couldn't stump Kiara.
So, she headed straight downstairs.
Today, Zenith Kyan had a rare day off, and he could finally spend half a day with his pregnant wife.
“Come, my love, take a bite, ah~”
“I don't want it!” Yuki Stone turned her head away in disgust, dodging the spoon in Zenith Kyan's hand.
“You can't be so picky! You're pregnant with a child, how will you get nutrition if you don't eat? Look at the lady upstairs, they say after getting pregnant she can eat, drink and still help our boss solve cases. You two have been living under one roof for several years now, how can you be so picky?”
Zenith Kyan was being tormented by his beloved Yuki Stone.
Ever since she got pregnant, there was nothing but vomiting and lack of appetite. He had hoped it would get better with a larger belly, but instead, she became even pickier.
