Chapter 45: Chapter 45

Alana pushed Leo into the living room when Bruce came to visit him and was already waiting for Leo.

"As long as you don't come with me, I can manage, you must still feel a little uncomfortable with the wounds on your head." Leo said, making Alana shake her head in the air.

"It's okay, I'm fine" alana replied, even though Alana was just curious about Bruce's arrival in the house and didn't want to waste her opportunity listening to their conversation.

"Uncle" greeted Leo when they reached their living room and made Bruce, who looked as he was chatting with yora, immediately turned his head.

"It's a shock," Bruce said as Leo sat across from him, so did Alana sitting right next to Leo.

"I don't think anything bad will happen when we have our dinner meeting," Bruce said, making Leo nod his head.

"Well, no one knew it," Leo said, leaving Bruce nodding, agreeing, after which he looked at Alana in a bandage and it seemed like Leo recognized it.

"It's a good thing Alana saved me, otherwise I don't know if I can still sit here or not" Leo said, making Alana flatten her thigh.

"If you weren't here, I wouldn't let you go anywhere, even to the end of the world, I'd find you and lock you up in this house" Alana rudely made Leo just pull the corner of his lip.

"Well, then you're lucky your wife's out there, too, and maybe god is going to do you a favor because she's close to you, and I can't imagine she's not there," Bruce said, gazing at alana with an eye that's hard to decipher.

"Just think of me as a savior angel for my own husband" Alana responded proudly to Bruce's gaze, which is now his only response and alana could pick up on Bruce's disdain for him.

"Is it possible for a couple to bond with each other, since mom had previously said that she saw alana rushing out of the room and immediately racing her car at high speed" continued a sort of particular sort of way to get Bruce to ask the next question.

"Really, I don't know, I'm not too sure about that, because your mom and dad don't have that kind of bond." Bruce said it upset Alana.

"Of course it may be that your love for aunt violet is not as pure as my love for my husband, so that what you call a bond between you is nothing like a bond between me and Leo, "In an attempt to save her from those who were hostile to my beloved husband, Alana blurted out, unafraid to return the intimidation Bruce and yora gave her.

"Well, let's call it quits on the supposed psychic bonding talk, so Leo, how about that search for your car? "Asked Bruce, making Leo nod his head.

"Yes, detective called, said she'd give it to him this afternoon" he said with a glance at the circular clock in his hand.

"And the detective will probably be here any minute" Leo said.

"If that's a coincidence you're also curious about the report and want to know what caused Leo's car accident to happen, if we have to be thorough enough, we don't want the accident to happen to you in the first place, you'll experience ita second time" Bruce said as if he was worried about his nephew, but Alana could clearly see how his other intentions might have been.

Alana was curious about the results of the investigation into Leo's car and was so impatient to find out who was behind the sabotage, when they were talking about it and suddenly a waitress came over to Leo and told him the detective was in the house and Leo didn't wait long enough to send the detective in.

Now they're all over the living room, and detectives are handing Leo a large brown envelope... causing Leo to open it very slowly... which is what the detectives used to have on the car engine.

"So what does this mean?" Tanya Leo made the detective immediately draw out a photo and point it at him.

"Your car has been completely sabotaged, here," the detective said, pointing at the engine.

"Someone purposely caused the brakes to fail and also caused a leak in the fuel line, which if your car ran into something and caused an automatic fire that your car could not survive and would instantly explode in a matter of seconds. "The detective clearly let Leo burst his cold sweat, the shadow of the accident he had been in a few years ago reemerge, but alana's grip on his hand allowed him to breathe again. As usual, it was as if alana had given him the power to re-listen to the detective's explanations.

"And luckily for that moment you just hit a car that did nothing but damage to your car, if you should have hit the shoulder of the road I can't imagine what your condition is right.

"And the other evidence, does it point to anyone? " Leo asked  left the detective speechless.

"We're having a little trouble picking up the target's fingerprints because it's obviously done on purpose and there's someone who wants to hurt you, but that person is very capable and seems to be very experienced at doing this, because we actually haven't found a single fingerprint attached to your car, his work is very neat and good." clearly the detective made Leo massage his temples, It turns out that his attempts to uncover the perpetrators were stumped, when Leo was desperate to find at least a lead to uncover the perpetrators. So was alana, disappointed by the investigation that didn't find any light, but the next second they came back might have hope when the detective showed them one.

"But we have evidence in the car's engine, we found this earring" the detective said to Leo to hold his eye on the earring but the next second Leo looked at alana in disbelief, Leo remembered the exact figure of the earring only a few days ago.
