Chapter 479 Oscar Might Still Be Alive!
Bests
The person who broke into Oscar's house was caught, but he only admitted to being a thief and stealing. He refused to reveal anything else.noveldrama
The police couldn't get anything out of him. It was obvious that someone had warned him in advance, and no one could get him to talk.
With no immediate solution, the police had no choice but to step back for now. Since the intruder hadn't found what they were looking for, they would definitely send someone else again.
In the hospital room, Kelly had received her epidural and slept for two to three hours.
When she woke up, she couldn't fall back asleep.
Zev had stayed by her side the entire time. It was clear he hadn't slept at all and was still brimming with excitement.
"Honey! Are you feeling uncomfortable? Have the contractions started? I read that deep breathing helps at this stage. I got honey water for you, and also this, this, and this ..." Zev sprang up immediately and started listing the things he had prepared according to the books.
Kelly looked at Zev resignedly. "It's just some pain. I can handle it."
She knew pregnancy was hard and painful. However, now that Zev was with her, this was nothing compared to the pain she endured when she had given birth to Jasper alone.
He had become her emotional anchor, giving her an inexplicable sense of peace.
When she gave birth to Jasper, she had been at death's door. She had thought she wouldn't make it out of the delivery room alive.
The last person on her mind had been Zev.
On the brink of death, she had hallucinated that he was right there beside her, holding her and staying with her.
"Zev ... don't be scared." Kelly could see that Zev was even more afraid than she
was.
But he tried to hide it, afraid that showing his fear would affect her.
She saw right through him. In an instant, his eyes turned red.
Zev pulled Kelly into a tight embrace and murmured apologies, "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...
He hadn't been there with her during her last delivery. He had failed her.
"You're here now... As long as we're alive, everything will be fine," Kelly whispered, pressing her forehead against his.
She felt her eyes welling up with fears. For the first time, the contractions in her belly filled her with anticipation.
Their second baby was about to be born.
This time, they wouldn't have to go through it alone.

At 8 p.m., Kelly was taken into the delivery room.
Since it was a C-section, Zev could only wait outside, praying for her and the baby's safety.
Melody, Darren, Felix, Caden, and Cecil had all come to wait with him.
With a C-section, the baby would come out first.

About 30 minutes later, the doors of the operating room opened. A nurse stepped out, holding a tiny newborn wrapped up tightly in blankets. Only the baby's face was visible.
"Who's the father?" the nurse asked with a smile. "Congratulations. It's a little princess."
In that instant, Cecil, Caden, and Darren almost instinctively rushed forward.
The others took a moment to process what had been said, but Cecil had done something on purpose.
He stood directly in Zev's way.
Zev reached out and yanked him aside. Overwhelmed and unsure of what to do,
he nervously wiped his hands on his clothes. "That's my daughter...
The nurse only let him take a quick look before carrying the baby away for further examination.
Zev anxiously stopped the nurse. "My wife... how is she?"
"The delivery went smoothly. She'll be out soon," the nurse reassured him with a smile.
Zev finally let out a breath of relief, his eyes red as he sniffled. "Kelly is incredible," Melody said, her voice choked with emotion.
"She has been so strong in bringing this child into the world."
When Zev went missing, she was the one holding up the Lockhart Group and keeping their family together.
The baby had been incredibly well-behaved, quiet, and considerate. It had barely made a fuss throughout her pregnancy, making the entire experience smooth sailing.
Kelly was deeply moved. Those days had been a whirlwind of travel, irregular meals, and countless work-filled late nights...
She never imagined the baby would be born without complications and in perfect health.
The little princess of the Lockhart family had finally arrived, making up for Zev's wish of having a daughter.
From the moment she was born, she had a whole team of older brothers doting on her.
"She's such a quiet little one."
Early the next morning, when Melody arrived, Zev was holding his baby girl and feeding her formula.
Kelly wasn't going to breastfeed-she needed to focus on recovering as soon as possible.

The nanny had wanted to step in, but Zev wouldn't let her anywhere near the
baby. Kelly could only shake her head resignedly.
"She barely cries. She really is an angel baby," Kelly said with a smile.
Melody glanced down at her own belly. "I wonder if mine will be this well- behaved."
"I'm sure your baby will be," Kelly reassured her.
Melody's phone rang. The police had new updates-they had caught another burglar.
But just like the last one, he insisted he was only there to steal and refused to say anything else.

Melody sighed and looked at Zev. "Why are they in such a rush? Just what could be so important that they're willing to make multiple attempts despite the risk of being caught?"
Zev froze. Even with police surveillance in place, those people were still breaking into Oscar's house, turning the place upside down. It could only mean one thing- the person behind it all was terrified that the police would get to whatever they were looking for first.
"If it's really that valuable, why didn't anyone go after it right after Patrick's accident? Why wait until now?" Kelly frowned, unable to make sense of it.
"Just like you suspected before, it's very likely that... Patrick was seriously injured when he escaped. He's only just regained consciousness now."
Zev turned to Kelly.
She gave a brief nod, then hesitated and shook her head again. "But if it were Patrick ... Given how cautious he is, he wouldn't have left something important at Oscar's place without a plan. He would have arranged for someone to retrieve it long ago."
Zev and Melody both nodded.
That's true...
Kelly leaned against the bed, lost in thought momentarily. Moments later, she looked up at Zev. "The thing they're so afraid of ... is with Oscar. He hid it at home. Oscar knew there might be a mole in the police department, so there was no way he would have revealed anything in advance ... not even to Melody."
Zev stared at Kelly in disbelief.
"Honey ... Are you saying ... ?"
Kelly shook her head. "I can't say for sure. What we do know is that Oscar didn't survive resuscitation... and we all saw his body."
Kelly suspected that Oscar wasn't dead-and that he was in Patrick's hands. If Patrick had regained consciousness, he might have interrogated Oscar, or perhaps Oscar had deliberately said something to make those people panic. That could explain why they kept sending people to search Oscar's house.
At the same time, this also made one thing clear to both the police and Zev...
The mole behind all this was in a key position in Seaville-and was terrified of being exposed.

"Honey, get some rest. Melody, can you please take care of Kelly? I'll look into this
myself, Zev reassured them.
Melody stood still, her heart pounding.
She wanted Kelly's theory to be true. She refused to believe that Oscar was truly
dead.
The emergency medical team had responded quickly-so why had resuscitation failed?
"Wait! I just remembered! When Oscar's body was sent to the morgue, I went to retrieve it. The staff told me Patrick had already taken him away and wouldn't let me see him at the crematorium. But when I finally arrived, he handed me Oscar's urn... At first, I thought he was just trying to torment me...
Melody shook her head. "No, something isn't right. If he really wanted revenge, he wouldn't have let me see even the ashes."
It was as if Patrick had deliberately shown her the urn-to make her give up, to
make her believe Oscar, was truly gone.
"If Oscar is still alive, then these repeated break-ins ... might be his way of
sending us a message." Kelly looked at Zev.
Zev's eyes reddened slightly.
He desperately wanted her theory to be right.
