Chapter 583

"If she didn't attempt suicide at the police station, why would she suddenly do it at home?" Felix Valdemar frowned.

Patrick Alpinus immediately pulled out his phone, preparing to contact the authorities for an investigation tomorrow.

Ethan Roscente's brows furrowed deeper.

A bold suspicion flashed through his mind.

Zero.

The elite agent.

For someone like Zero, making a person disappear would be child's play.

But was it really him?

Ethan recalled the way Zero had looked at Vivian Laurent.

That was unmistakably the gaze of a man in love.

A crime of passion?

The thought crossed his mind briefly, but there was no evidence to support it.

"Boss Ethan!"

Felix called his name three times before Ethan snapped out of his thoughts.

"What?"

"You've been spacing out. Didn't you hear a word we said?"

"Never mind." Ethan set down his chopsticks. "I'm leaving."

"You barely touched your food." Felix looked baffled.

"I need to get back to Theo."

Ethan stood and walked away, his tense silhouette radiating unease.

That night, neither Vivian nor Ethan could sleep.

The next morning, Theo eagerly sought out Vivian to play.

Seeing the child's loneliness tugged at her heart.

She decided to take him to Disneyland to make new friends.

Amid the colorful rides, children's laughter filled the air.

Vivian encouraged Theo to join the other kids.

Soon, he was swept up in the joyful atmosphere.

"Miss, you're so pretty!"

A little girl with pigtails tugged at Vivian's sleeve.

Vivian crouched down and gently ruffled her hair.

Watching the carefree children, Vivian suddenly made up her mind.

She would keep this child.

Not as Ethan's son.

But as her own.

She would give him all the love she had, ensuring he never endured the childhood she had.

Tomorrow, she'd register at the hospital for prenatal care.

Just as Vivian was envisioning their future, a chill crawled up her spine.

Theo was gone.

"Theo?"

She scanned the area, but the familiar little figure was nowhere in sight.

She asked every child nearby.

No one had seen where he went.

Cold sweat drenched her back.

The worst possibility surfaced in her mind—

A child trafficker.

She didn't even know how to contact Ethan.
