Chapter 1651 Not a Coincidence
As Judah watched Wynter leave the room, he bit back the questions he intended to ask. He knew that any response to Fredric's arrival would give himself away.
Despite being familiar with the rules and protocols, he still couldn't fathom how the Special Unit had learnedThis content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
about his blood transfusion surgery-unless Fredric disclosed it. It wasn't on the records, and he had been careful not to leave any traces that would jeopardize his career.
Judah pretended to take a sip of his drink, trying to appear composed. Yet, minutes passed, and Wynter still hadn't returned.
Judah became deeply unnerved. He couldn't stop wondering what Fredric might disclose and how he could escape the accusation. Sweats began to bead on his forehead the more he thought about it.
Little did he know that Wynter was just sitting outside watching the live feed. It turned out that Fredric hadn't even arrived yet, and it was all part of her mind game.
Before leaving the interrogation room, she purposely mentioned Fredric's arrival to keep Judah in a constant state of doubt and disconcert. Her tactic proved effective, as Judah grew increasingly anxious when she failed to show up. Judah believed he had behaved normally, yet his restless hand gestures and frequent refills of water had betrayed his feelings.
While monitoring Judah, Wynter seized the chance to hack into the internet and dug up more about him.
Although she recognized his cancerous illness, she found no record of it in his medical reports for the past two years. She needed to uncover when he had contracted the disease and how he had recovered.
Assuming his illness had relapsed more than three times, Wynter expected to find some connections or patterns in his medical history. True to her assumption, she was surprised to find information from 18 years ago—Judah had once served as Southdale's mayor.
Wynter's gaze darkened. This felt way beyond a mere coincidence. After all, she was abducted and brought to Southdale back then. At that time, the hospital had fallen under the Gibson family's control.
As Wynter reflected further, she realized Margaret had been accused of medical malpractice just six months later. After the Gibsons took control of the hospital, they never bothered to investigate the equipment or surgeries performed whether they were costly or involved in organ tracking.
In particular, they had been issuing birth certificates for abducted children. Even more coincidentally, Riverfield was nestled deep within the mountains a home to all human traffickers.
Wynter could never forget her traumatic time in Riverfield. The villagers had completely lost their sense of moral judgment and believed it was entirely normal to purchase a wife or son.
The images of Elliot locked in the cellar, the dog chained in the yard, and the young students imprisoned together were etched in Wynter's mind. Whenever she thought about it, a chill settled deep in her heart.
She had witnessed countless acts of human cruelty. But no matter how loudly the public condemned such horrors, those villagers remained unfazed and carried on with their depravity. It would appear that their sinister nature was ingrained in their bones.
Wynter recalled how the village chief seemed to think he was above the law. His complete lack of fear toward any official investigations suggested he had protection, much like the situation in Valen Village.
