?Chapter 591:
Something was definitely wrong.
I shushed her and grabbed her arm. “Come inside. Whatever it is, we shouldn’t speak of it here.”
Makenna’s POV:
I quickly led Alice into the living room and sat on the couch. Before I could catch my breath, Alice looked at me earnestly and said, “Makenna, the night you had your baby, someone spotted Antoni leaving the hospital!”
“What?” Her words shocked me deeply, like a thunderbolt. “Is this mere chance, or did he n all this? Could it be… could my child’s death not have been an ident?” I whispered to myself.
Overwhelmed by a surge of anger, I jumped up from the couch, determined to confront Antoni. “I have to see Antoni and get some answers! I need him to tell me what happened!”
Alice immediately moved to intercept me and grabbed my arm. “Makenna! Think this through! Confronting him now won’t help you find the truth,” she urged, trying to soothe my agitation.
“I can’t let my child’s death go without justice! Everyone involved must pay!” I copsed into tears. “Why would they harm my baby? He was so innocent and never even had the chance to see the world…”
Evie rushed to my side, and along with Alice, took my hands. “Makenna, please, stay calm. Rash actions won’t help in any way.”
I cried out, “How can I stay calm? How can you expect me to be calm? My baby is gone, and I don’t even know the truth. I feel like I’ve failed as a mother…”
Alice’s eyes filled with tears as she choked out, “I understand your pain, but we have no proof. Seeing Antoni at the hospital that night doesn’t directly incriminate him. Confronting him now would be futile. It would only tip him off and make it harder to find any truthster on!”
Hearing Alice’s words, I gradually ceased my struggles. My energy drained away, and I copsed into a heap, consumed by pain. I managed to calm down, but inside, I felt even more desperate and hated my own helplessness.

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed as the door was flung open forcefully. The noise jolted me. I lifted my tear-filled eyes and saw Dominic striding in.
His worried eyes quickly scanned me as he approached. Then he asked with concern, “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”
I met his gaze with a vacant look and then slowly shook my head. “I’m alright. What brings you here?”
Dominic, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief. “I heard you were over at ra’s; then I heard about the fire next door. I was so worried. When I found out you were back home, I came straight here to see you.” His concern warmed my heart.
Ever since the incident at the cliff, Dominic and I had grown closer, so now, I felt morefortable confiding in him.
I took a deep breath and asked directly, “Why didn’t you mention the power outage at the hospital the night I gave birth?”
Dominic appeared taken aback by the change in conversation, but he quickly collected himself and responded seriously, “Our investigation at the time revealed that the power outage was idental and not connected to… the tragedy with the child.”
I met Dominic’s deep green eyes squarely and emphasized each word with conviction. “I don’t believe that’s the case.”
Dominic’s brow furrowed. He was clearly confused.
Taking a moment to muster my courage, I muttered, “I have this strong suspicion that Antoni is tied to all this.”
