Aaron sneered, "Were you with Hendrix last night?"
I nodded. "Yeah!"
He shot me a look of disdain. "No wonder!"
So was it Hendrix who blocked his number on my phone?
"Did you call me last night?" If it wasn't that, Hendrix wouldn't have blocked his number.
He nodded." Around two or three in the morning!"
I pursed my lips and said, "Well, good riddance!"
Who was crazy enough to be calling people in the middle of the night?
I could see that Aaron was in a bad mood. He looked at me and said, "Andrea was sent to the hospital last night. I think she lost her child."
I froze for a second. Then I recalled what Valerie said the previous night, "What did you do to Andrea?"
He narrowed his eyes and yawned. He looked sleepy. "I showed her some photos of the child and added something a little interesting for her."
"What was it?"
"Have you heard of Ghost Baby Manto?" Aaron raised his eyebrows. His face was emotionless.
It took me a few seconds to get what he was saying. I widened my eyes and asked, "You showed her those?"
He nodded and said, "I may or may not have shown her the process of forming one Ghost Baby Manto. I also let her knew that Ghost Baby Manto was normally a baby that was 7 to 8 months old. It was convenient that hers was 8 months old."
For a moment, I was at a loss for words. I pursed my lips slightly and said, "Well, you took care of it for me before I could and it probably made me look like an idiot."
Aaron rolled his eyes at me and said, "Take out your phone and unblock my number."
I nodded and began scrolling through my phone. Hendrix really did block Aaron's number and even some of his social media accounts.
He was really childish.
I looked at him and asked in confusion, "Why? Is some enemy hell- bent on attacking the Moore Family?"
He answered with a hum, "Well, greatness invites challenge!"
That saying was true indeed.
"When are you going back to Jarold City? Uncle Charles is coming back. He informed me to let you know that since you'll be joining the clan soon, you should prepare yourself."
Joining the clan?
I was stunned. Thinking about what happened at Irvin's mother's birthday banquet, I couldn't help but to be surprised about this piece of news. I nodded and said, "Okay, I plan to head to the countryside for a few days to visit someone. I'm not sure if the person is doing well."
Aaron nodded. "You don't have to worry about Andrea. Just wait for my news."
I nodded and said nothing more. I got out of the car. I sighed as I gazed at the darkened gloomy sky. Perhaps this was all fate.
I had never intended to harm Andrea's child but with how things had turned out this way, there was nothing else that I could do.
