Chapter 336 Suspicion

Melinda believed Queena's words and began to nourish the fetus at ease in the hospital. Although she
had to rest in bed, Queena asked the servant to bring a lot of books to her, whether it was modern
literature, ancient literature or anything else.

Of course, Melinda required more books about parenting. As a new mother to be, Melinda was actually
worried that she would do a lot of things wrong, which would hurt the child.

With so many books and accompanied by an experienced person like Queena, Melinda felt that she
had learned a lot. In the afternoon, Nelson, Alston and Yulia came to visit her.

Jerry was also brought here by Alston, but he was stopped outside the door by Queena for the reason
that he would affect Melinda's mood and hurt the child.

Alston cared about his eldest grandson, so even if Jerry was useful to him, he still let him to stay home.

Yulia had been getting along well with her boyfriend these days, and all her attention was on him. Now
she had to spare so much time to visit Melinda, so there was no smile on her face.

As soon as Nelson arrived, Queena naturally moved out from the nearest position to Melinda. Sitting
next to Melinda, Nelson felt sorry for her when he saw her weak appearance.

"You have suffered a lot again." Old as he was, seeing the originally vigorous child lying on the bed,
Nelson felt really upset.

As for Melinda, she was his old friend's granddaughter. He had promised many people to take good
care of her, but now she was lying on the bed in the hospital.

"Grandpa, I'm not sick. My child cares about me and wants me to have more rest."



Her words successfully amused Nelson. Nelson had talked a lot with her. Melinda always respected
him and liked this elder very much. She was relaxed when chatting with him.

She didn't have to worry as much as she talked to others. Moreover, she didn't like to see Nelson frown
and always tried to make Nelson laugh.

In this way, she felt much better.

The conversation between Alston and Melinda was formulaic. Most of the time, he cared about the
baby in Melinda's belly. Although Melinda didn't mind, Queena was unhappy. He was kicked out of the
ward by Queena before he could say anything more.

Thinking that Nelson was not in good health, Melinda asked him not to stay in the hospital for too long.
She asked Gavin to take Nelson home and promised him that she would take good care of herself.

After Nelson and the others left, the ward was empty all of a sudden. Queena sorted out the books for
Melinda and her clothes during her hospitalization.

Being taken care of like this, Melinda felt that her mother was by her side, which made her a little
flattered.

After knowing that Jonas was fine, Melinda felt relieved. She had been in a coma yesterday, but her
sleep quality was very poor. Now she felt a little sleepy after sending away a group of people.

Queena paid close attention to Melinda all the time, so she noticed her sleepiness at the first time.
Then she adjusted the bed's slope to make her lie flat on the bed.

"Have a rest if you are tired. It's easy to get sleepy when you are pregnant. I think you sleep too little,"
Queena said considerately, making a perfect excuse for Melinda being sleepy all the time.



Too many things had happened that day. In fact, Queena had been holding on. After seeing that
Melinda had fallen asleep, she asked the caregiver to look after her, washed her body, and also lay on
the small bed to rest.

But she was not in the mood like Melinda. She was worried about Jonas, so she didn't sleep well.

When a person reached middle age, it was easy for her to lose her spirit. At this time, Queena was just
like this. Although she had spent the whole afternoon, she was still sleepy.

She had contacted Ted two more times, but there was still no progress. The only thing she was sure
was that the police officers were very nice to Jonas, and he didn't suffer in the police station.

However, the truth of this matter was still under investigation, and the five people who had been caught
insisted on Jonas, which made him a suspect.

The emotional change also made the most obvious change in the recovery of Melinda's body. The
doctor checked her body three times a day, and Queena asked the doctor about her physical condition.
When she knew that Melinda was recovering well, she was finally relieved.

Without a son and a daughter-in-law, she was not used to living in the Gu's mansion, so she stayed in
the hospital to take care of Melinda. There was a small kitchen in the VIP ward, but Queena didn't want
Melinda to smell smoke, so she asked someone to find a short rental apartment nearby.

She made chicken soup for Melinda to strengthen her body. Although there was a caregiver, Queena
was the one who took care of Melinda most. Being taken care of so carefully, Melinda was moved.

She didn't expect that her relationship with Queena would be so harmonious one day.

"The chicken soup was bought from the countryside. It's the best for pregnant women. It's inevitable
that the meat is a little hard. If you don't like it, just drink more soup," Queena said to Melinda. She was



always good at it.

She even thought of the possible dislike of Melinda. The chicken soup she cooked was not oily at all.
Although Melinda had a bad appetite, she ate a lot.

Queena said that she was very happy that Melinda had eaten so much for her sake. Anyone with a
discerning eye could see her care for Melinda.

The most direct feeling was from the medical staff. They thought that Melinda was so lucky. She
married into the Gu family, and her husband and mother-in-law loved her, and even Nelson spoiled her.

She was so lucky as if saving the world in her previous life.

What they didn't know was that it was also a blessing for Jonas to marry Melinda in Jonas's and
Queena's eyes.

In the past two days, Queena had taken care of Melinda, but she was also worried about Jonas. She
looked haggard, which made Melinda feel very guilty. She had been asking her to go home and have a
rest. As long as she was taken care of the caregiver here, everything would be fine.

But Queena refused stubbornly, saying that she was worried about the poor care of others and made
Melinda grieved. At that time, Jonas would blame her.

When she mentioned Jonas by accident, Melinda realized that she had been in hospital for three days,
but Jonas hadn't come to visit her yet.

Queena explained that something happened in the branch company must be dealt with by Jonas. He
woke up in his sleep and went there directly.

He didn't know how long it would take to deal with it.



"Take good care of Young Mistress. I'll make a phone call." After finding an excuse to perfunctorily deal
with Melinda, Queena was even more worried about Jonas. Three days had passed, but there was still
no movement.

If things went on like this, the situation of Jonas was unknown, and she might not be able to hide the
truth from Melinda.

"Okay."

The caregiver nodded and finally found her use. She took care of Melinda enthusiastically.

After leaving the ward, Queena went straight to the end of the corridor and called the police station to
ask what was going on.

"We are still investigating this matter, and we don't have any solid evidence at present. We haven't
found the corpse of Emily, so we can't settle it." It was the captain that day who answered the phone.

The whole team had been busy with this matter in the past few days. The five men's mouths were
getting harder and harder. They didn't say a word, which caused the case to be delayed.

They had tried to investigate it from Jonas, but they didn't find any evidence to charge him. They
couldn't judge a case just by the five criminals' testimony.

"Can I bail him out?" Queena asked. She believed that her son would not do such a thing, and there
was no need to dirty his hands for that woman.

But now the situation was like this. She couldn't change it, so she could only think of letting Jonas
come out. At least, she could comfort Melinda first.



"Mrs. Gu, I hope you can understand," the captain said, but politely refused Queena's request. Queena
had already been mentally prepared, so she was not too disappointed. She just asked them to take
care of Jonas.

The people of Ted were also investigating this matter. Like the captain, they were trapped in a
predicament. They could investigate the information of the five people, but could not find any useful
information.

A pile of useless things scattered.

When Queena came back, her face was obviously a little heavy. Seeing that Melinda hadn't slept, she
tried to put on a smile again.

It was not the first time that she had been like this. Thinking of her strange behavior in the past two
days, Melinda became a little suspicious.

"Mommy, why do you look so pale? Do you want the doctor to check on you?" Melinda looked at
Queena worriedly and asked. Queena just shook her head to show that she was fine.

"It's just a little cold outside,"

Queena said with a smile. Looking suspiciously at the bright sun outside, Melinda felt that something
was wrong with Queena, but she didn't expose it. She just said, "Then you can call in the room from
now on."

"It's just some social phone calls. If you hear too much, I'm afraid you'll be annoyed. I'd better go out
and make the call," Queena said, but Melinda didn't think it was a big deal. She even said that she
could learn from her. Queena just smiled without a clear answer.



The more perplexed Melinda was, the more she missed Jonas. She complained in her heart, 'How
busy is he? He didn't call me for three days on a business trip.'

Thinking of this, Melinda realized that she seemed to have ignored something. She took advantage of
Queena's inattention and dialed the number of Jonas.

The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Jonas once said that as long as it was her phone, he would answer it immediately.

No one answered the phone at this time. Was it because the phone was not beside him? Or was he in
trouble or something else?

The more Melinda thought about it, the more flustered she became. She was afraid that something bad
might have happened to Jonas. Her hand holding the phone trembled.
