Christina did not notice the diviner's confusion. She glanced at Angelica at the reception desk and lowered her voice:
"I mean Laneus's child."
She pointed at the young woman beside her, who was wearing a hat with a lotus-leaf brim.
"This is my niece, Megaois. Her mother is my elder sister. I am very sorry and regret that I once considered Laneus an outstanding and brilliant young man, and so I introduced him to Megaois when he was still unmarried, and watched them become lovers."
"Megaois's parents were also satisfied with Laneus before. They planned to invest all their savings in the steel company after the engagement. Fortunately, Laneus ran away before that could happen, which saved their family from fatal losses. Unfortunately, my sister and brother-in-law had to explain to relatives and friends why the engagement was canceled, and had to worry about the child in Megaois's belly."
"We all believe in the
So this is fraud of money and affection… Klein looked at Megaois, who stood quietly beside them, and noticed that she was quite a beautiful young woman.
She had a smooth forehead, golden hair, and big eyes very similar to Christina's, at that moment melancholic and serene, her lips tightly pressed together.
What a despicable fraudster, and he even managed to escape… Klein cursed Laneus, thought for a moment, and said:
"If the child had already been born, I could indeed use it to divine Laneus's approximate whereabouts. But unfortunately, that would require waiting several months. Hmm, perhaps this is the manifestation of the previous divination results: patience, waiting, perseverance, no longer being greedy, and then a turning point will come, and you will see the sunlight."
"Several months…" Christina shook her head softly. "No, if it takes that long, even if we find Laneus, we won't get the money back…"
She turned to look at the golden-haired, blue-eyed Megaois and couldn't help but lower her voice:
"Do you have any item that Laneus used to carry with him?"
"No." Megaois answered softly and gently. "Does the ring he gave me count?"
"The item must have been carried for a long time." Klein shook his head in negation.
Christina was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Megaois and said:
"You must make a decision. I believe keeping this child will make your future life difficult and full of thorns. Do you want to tell him that his father is a fraudster who deceived many people, including his mother?"
"It's time to go to the clinic, to the hospital, and that can also help us find Laneus and get back what we lost."
Hey, wouldn't such a divination be too much? Klein couldn't interfere in their family affairs, so he could only wait patiently, occasionally muttering to himself.
Megaois lowered her head, her gaze downcast, and for a long time did not speak.
After a while, she touched her lower abdomen and said with a gentle smile:
"He is different from his father. He is a very considerate and likeable child."
"He gently kicks me every day, telling me his mood. He also hums songs and whistles, using music to help me fall asleep…"
As Klein listened, he suddenly felt something was off.
The first half of Megaois's words were a common reaction, but the latter part was nearly babbling, saying unrealistic things.
Has the shock been too much? Has her mind malfunctioned? Klein raised his right hand, rubbing his forehead as if to relieve fatigue.
Just then, Megaois suddenly turned around and walked quickly toward the door, leaving only one sentence:
"Maybe his father will secretly return because of his birth, and will keep a portion of his wealth for him…"
Klein never expected such a reaction. He was stunned for a moment, forgot to activate his spiritual vision, and could only watch Megaois leave the club, her footsteps echoing down the stairs.
Christina took a deep breath, paused for a few seconds, and said:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Moretti, for disturbing you. We will try to find an item that Laneus carried."
Klein nodded slightly, watched her go downstairs, and sighed as he shook his head.
...
The next morning, as soon as Klein entered the Blackthorn Security Company and greeted Rohan, he asked:
"Where is today's newspaper?"
The sweet-looking brunette Rohan looked at him and asked in confusion:
"Klein, you seem strange."
"Why?" Klein smiled, as if prepared.
Rohan rolled her eyes and said:
"Before, you only read the newspaper during lunch break, because you have an occult class in the morning.
"I just found out about a case that has a reward, so I want to flip through the newspaper, remember the criminals' faces, in case I run into them someday." Klein explained with a smile.
"Really?" Rohan curiously picked up the day's newspapers and started flipping through them quickly. "Wanted poster… Laneus, right?"
Klein immediately replied:
"Yes."
