Avoiding eye contact, he muttered, "Well... of course."

Laura pressed further, "Is the informant unharmed?"

"Yes, we've safely retrieved him." Colin avoided her gaze as he pretended to clean the table.

A wave of relief washed over Laura.

Knowing he was safe eased her mind.

Now, she could provide Camila with an update.

Turning away, she instructed, “Inform your leader to return early tonight."

Colin murmured softly, "Okay."

Suddenly, a realization dawned on Laura. She turned to face Colin directly, questioning, "The arrest was successful today, right? Can he return home earlier?"

Colin averted his gaze and remained silent.

It was certain that Morrison wouldn't be able to return that day.

However, he refrained from informing Laura, who was on the verge of giving birth.

Sensing Colin's unease, Laura's expression darkened.

"Colin."

Meeting her gaze, Colin mustered courage. "I heard you. I'll convey your message, but there might be... other matters for him to attend to. He may not be able to come back..."

"Wasn't the arrest successful? Is there another case? Why wasn't I informed?" She fixed Colin with an unwavering stare. "Tell me the truth, What's happening with Morrison?"

Colin hesitated before responding, “Laura, you're pregnant. You shouldn't be burdened with this. We'll do everything we can..."

Laura staggered back in shock.

Colin's words undeniably hinted at an unfortunate turn of events concerning Morrison!

With one hand bracing herself against the table's edge, Laura struggled to compose herself as she fixed her gaze on Colin. “Tell me what happened."
