“Actually, I still have some doubts about this matter.”
“What’s it about?”
“Don’t you think it’s weird? Why was I kidnapped for so long but I was not injured? If Shelly really hated me, even if she didn’t want to kill me, she would try her best to endure me a bit. But in fact, apart from being slapped a few times, I have not received any other abuse.”
“Do you suspect that there are others?”
“Yeah. I think it wasn’t just her who did this. It was probably because Shelly was coerced or tempted to do it. When I was talking to her, I found out that her moods were easily fluctuated. Before she saw me, she was very emotional; after I said something to appease her, she calmed down again. I wondered if there is something wrong with her, or if it was when Brandon broke up with her and she might be suffering from depression?”
“In this regard, I will let people at the police station focus on her observation.”
She nodded, “How can a girl allow herself to be like this.”
“Do you want me to spare her?”
“I’m not hurt. She just threatened my life, and I must intercede before she become wise. If her family will provide a proof of her mental illness, and she kills me in the future.
I will be dead in vain. . .”
“You treat me as a decoration?”
“Yes. I forgot that the man I married was the most powerful man in Vandeli. I never felt so lucky that I met you. If you didn’t make it before Shelly got crazy, I would have died.”
He touched her pale and haggard face, “Go to sleep, now that you are home, no one can hurt you.”
She yawned sleepily, and then retreated into the quilt childishly.
He downstairs with the dinner plates and called the head of the branch bureau who handled the matter.

Elisa slept until ten o’clock in the morning and felt a lot more comfortable when she got up.
Except that her face is a bit swollen, her spirit is good.
As soon as Bruce saw her coming downstairs, he rushed over.
Bruce stretched the tablet in front of Elisa, “Are you on the night shift again?”
I can guess that William was afraid that Bruce was worried about her and said that she was on the night shift.
She touched his fleshy little face, “Yes, it just happened to be an emergency. Baby, do you miss me? I missed you.”
He nodded with a blushing face.
Elisa kissed him several times with a smile before letting go of him reluctantly, “Where is the old man? Did he go to work?”
Her little treasure continued to nod.
“Well, let’s take the wheel back to grandma’s house to eat and drink.”
Bruce looked at her haggard face worriedly, and said, “Your face is ugly. Dad said you need to rest more.”
“As long as I see you, I will feel better.”
She let go of Bruce, and after a simple meal, she went upstairs to change clothes.
When she was driving home, she received a call from Gwen.
She parked the car to the side of the road and answered the phone, “What can I do for you?”
“Sister-in-law, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, now I’m taking Bruce to my mother’s house. Would you like to come over and try my mother’s craftsmanship? Her craftsmanship is good.”
“I’m most honored if that’s what you say. Tell me the address of your home.”
Elisa gave the detailed address.
Gwen seemed to be checking the map over there, and after a while she said, “I’m not far from your home. It is estimated that it will only take ten minutes by car.”
“It’s the same on my side. We meet at the front entrance of the subdivision; we will then go in together.
“good.”

Emily didn’t expect her to also bring Gwen, which was very pleasantly surprised.
Gwen handed a gift box to Emily, “Auntie, sorry, I only saw you now. My sister-in-law often tells me that your cooking skills are good, especially cakes, which are much better than pastry shops. So, I just came here cheeky uninvited.”
“This kid, we are a family, don’t be so polite. You three sit on the sofa, and you will be able to eat soon.”
“Do you want me to help?”
“No need, your sister-in-law will never do housework when she comes home. Just be with uncle and watch TV.”
Elisa said: “Bruce, the first time you visit your grandma’s door, you will be treated as a guest. Next time, you enter the kitchen like you belong here just like your Dad.”
“Second brother is treated so well?” Gwen asked.
“Well, he always rushes to the kitchen before.”
Gwen laughed, “Then I have to cherish the treatment of being a guest.”
Bruce sat down on the sofa in the living room and watched TV very familiarly. Elisa took Gwen around to let her know the house, and then went to the kitchen to help a little. In fact, it was a chance for Ms. Emily to take good care of her.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the kitchen, Emily asked, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, I worried you and dad, sorry.”
“When I heard that you were missing, I was almost scared to death. Why is that woman so short-eyed that she dared to kidnap you.”
“I don’t know the details. The police have already intervened in the investigation. Don’t think about it. I would be careful and promise that there won’t be another time.”
Emily White saw that her hands were still wrapped in gauze, “I really don’t understand what is in that woman’s mind, so she’s crazy!”
Elisa hugged Emily’s shoulders and shook it gently, “Look at your daughter, she fought against patients, her family members, and she can fight in groups. It’s good if I don’t harm others. It’s a bargain.”
“Poor you.”
“I’m telling the truth. I was just so good; I can’t be humble.”
Emily could not bear Elisa and blasted out.
Elisa took Gwen upstairs leisurely, “I have a room in my house. If you have nothing to do, stay here with me and Bruce, your second brother will come over tonight.”
Gwen looked at the rooms upstairs. Although the decoration is simple, they are all very warm. “Sister-in-law, you are so happy.”
“Huh? It’s much than yours.”
“My mother is not as warm as aunt.”
“Is this to speak ill of my mother-in-law?”
Gwen snorted and laughed, “Sister-in-law, you are really interesting. I really want to live here cheeky tonight.”
“Let’s live, stay as long as you want.”

Elisa recuperated at home for a day, and then drove to work the next day.
Emily thought that she had a recurrence of cold, so she became busy after a few words of concern.
Elisa took breakfast to the director’s office.
The director looked at her, scanning her whole body, and when he saw that she was not injured, he was relieved.
She put the cake and yogurt made by her mother on the director’s desk, “Director, I’m sorry, I worried you.”
“Why do I have an apprentice that do nothing all day?” The director looked at Elisa White with bitter hatred.
“My charm works perfectly on you, I can’t help it.” Elisa said with a smile, and then said: “Thank you, director, for finding out in time, otherwise I will be married now.”
