Denise’s expression had exposed everything, so Larry was quick to deduce everything.
Hearing those words got Denise to stop hiding and finally confessed.
“I am so sorry, Mr. Norton and Ms. Watts,” said Denise apologetically and in a regretful tone, “I didn’t want to do this either, but I have no choice. Someone made me poison your food. I never wanted to do any of it. Please forgive me!”
“Someone ordered you to do that? Who is that person?”
Larry was furious when he heard Denise’s confession. We’re lucky that she has a conscience. If she doesn’t… the consequences would be unimaginable.
“I don’t know who the culprit is either. I received a call today, and the man told me that he has kidnapped my child. He said to do as he instructed or he will hurt my baby. He even forbade me from calling the police and threatened to kill my baby if I do.”
Denise cried as she told the truth. She walked to Larry and went on her knees to beg for his help. She said, “Mr. Norton, I never intended to hurt Ms. Watts. Please save my child since I confess in time and turn things around before it’s too late? I know that you are a powerful man, and you must have the means to save my baby.”
Joan had always been kind, so she couldn’t bear to see how crushed Denise was.
“Denise didn’t have a choice, Larry, and she never actually ended up doing anything to hurt us. Instead, she confessed, and that alerted us. Please help her,” said Joan.
“Calm down, girls. I know that Denise’s hands must’ve been tied, and I never intended to blame her. Still, we have to work around this carefully. I will send Caspian to find out where Denise’s kid is. I am almost certain that they guessed that Denise wouldn’t do as asked, so they must’ve had a backup plan,” replied Larry.
He helped Denise up before giving her a forgiving and understanding nod.
“Then, what do we do now?” asked Joan nervously. She knew that Larry must’ve already made a plan because he had already put things that way.
“All we can do is wait until they reveal themselves,” answered Larry, “Denise, it’s not safe for you to stay here, so go home for now. If that is not an option, then stay in another corner within the hospital. I will call you immediately after I learn about your kid’s situation.”
“Okay, sure,” replied Denise immediately, “I will do anything as long as my child is safe. Please help me, Mr. Norton.”
Larry didn’t answer. He simply nodded. Denise said goodbye to Joan before leaving the room entirely.
Larry was deep in thoughts as he watched Denise leave.
Who would want to hurt Joan and I?
He honestly couldn’t figure it out. Anyone who held any grudge against them was either crushed or disabled, so they didn’t have the resources to carry out a task like that.
Looks like I will have to watch my back for now.
He called Caspian later and instructed, “Caspian, help me locate Denise’s child right away. The kid was kidnapped, and you must have him rescued.”
“Understood.”
Caspian had always been that direct when dealing with serious matters.
At that moment, Caspian and Nancy were on their way to the hospital. They had been busy and didn’t have time to visit Joan until then.
After hanging up, Larry realized that someone was spying on him from behind the door. That got Larry’s eyes to glow with cruelty and evil.
“Who’s there?” roared Larry before he went over to chase after the culprit.
The man outside the room quickly ran upon realizing that he was discovered.
He had already left when Larry opened the door, and all that could be seen was a shadow turning a corner.
“Joan, I’ll go check things out and will be back soon,” informed Larry, before he turned around and ran down the corridor.
