Chapter 198
Josh covered his mouth and shook his head guiltily. “I was distracted just now and said something by mistake.”
Fuck, did he almost reveal Daniel’s identity just now?
But Johnny was different from Alice!
Johnny was an undercover agent!
And one had to be a high–level criminal investigation officer to be an undercover agent. He should possess some extraordinary observation skills.
Moreover, the minute Johnny checked the system, he would be able to unearth Daniel’s identity.
Therefore, he had to be careful.
Unless Daniel confessed, he should never let slip the truth.
Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.
Alice glared at Josh. “If you’re too tired, go back and rest! Don’t slack off here. I don’t have the energy to take care of you!”
Josh nodded as if he had just been pardoned. “Okay. Okay then. Then, I’ll make a move first.”
He was not good at lying. The longer he lingered, the
Alice looked at Josh and shook her head helplessly. Then, she said, “Remember to help me pick up the kids from kindergarten.”
William and the others did not look very reliable. It was safer to ask Josh for help.
Josh’s mouth twitched when he heard that. “Didn’t you say that you’re getting a divorce? Why are you still so concerned about the kids?”
“Because I’m only planning to leave the husband. I will still acknowledge the kids.” Alice smiled. “Also, do you think William and Daniel are reliable people?”
“Oh. They are indeed unreliable.” Josh nodded.
Suddenly, Josh thought of something. If Alice could just abandon the husband and retain the children, then maybe she could retain the brother also.
As Josh left the ward, doubts flashed across Johnny’s eyes.
Why was Josh’s reaction so strange when it came to Alice’s husband?
If he had not been bedridden in the hospital bed and unable to carry out an investigation, Johnny would have detained Josh and interrogated him.
Back at the corridor.
Daniel was still letting off steam.
Josh walked out of the ward and let out a long sigh of relief.
“How is it? How is Alice doing?” William walked over and bombarded Josh with questions.
Josh looked hesitantly at Daniel.
He then said, “There’s good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
“Of course, the good news first!” William urged. “Don’t keep us in suspense. Tell us quickly.”
“The good news is, Johnny’s real occupation is not a male host. He’s probably a senior police officer working undercover. You don’t have to worry about what Alice’s family is doing.”
“I knew that guy is not what he seems,” Freddie said with an expected expression.
Meanwhile, Daniel looked at Josh. “And the bad news?”
“The bad news is, he is an investigator! He has eagle eyes like that of a lie detector! Daniel, you’re finished! Just wait to be exposed at any time!”
Josh was fuming, his face was full of grievances.
If Daniel had spoken the truth from the start, he would not have to worry about this now.
Daniel frowned and glanced at him. “Okay.”

Bernard, who had been silent all this while and sorting out his thoughts, stroked his chin with a smile.
“Josh, what Daniel should be worried about now is not Johnny forcing a confession on him. Rather, he had infuriated his wife, and she may file for divorce any time.”
Daniel turned sideways and looked at Bernard with a piercing gaze.
He had guessed correctly.
Bernard did not stop there. He placed his hands on Daniel’s shoulders and smiled.
“If I were you, I’d find a way to make up for my mistakes. Of course, unless you do not want to live with your wife anymore, then pretend I did not say anything today.”
“How can I atone for my mistakes?” Daniel immediately asked.
Bernard heaved a sigh of relief. At least Daniel wanted to make up for his mistakes and was not totally helpless.
