“I guess Laura must have said something to you? I don’t have a twin sister, I don’t have any sister actually,” said Helena as she threw a glance at Helen, and then she looked at Laura guiltily.
“Mom…” Laura was to say something, but was interrupted by Helen.
“Well, I guess so. Then sorry for bothering you.” Helen took a look at Helena again before leaving.
Actually, Helena thought she was a nice woman, but she had no idea what else to say.
“Mom, I can’t believe you said that.” Laura ran after Helen, but she already gone, so Laura came back and glared at Helena with a grumpy face.
“Let’s not talk about it anymore.” Surprisingly, Helena did not give in to Laura’s anger this time.
She cast Laura another glance, sat on the bed for a moment, and then took off her shoes and lied down.
Laura walked out of the room resignedly.
Helena had her own little secret and she didn’t want to speak it out.
And the same went for Helen.
Meanwhile at the prison. When the police officer left Horace’s room, he received a video from Isaac.
A junior officer came to him and said, “Sir, Horace Kirkland’s representative sent us this, saying that it can prove his innocence after we have this video lip-read.” The junior officer was walking on eggshells. He knew that his supervisor was in a foul mood and he would be in big trouble if he wasn’t careful enough.
“OK, then get it done.” The police officer who just interrogated Horace was actually the captain of a squad, and he was reluctant to have the video translated through lip-reading.
But with the deadline closing in and Horace’s tough attitude had left the captain with no choice but to prove Horace’s innocence.
Since they had been presented with the evidence, then if it was actually valid, then they would be able to close the case and the captain himself would be rewarded.
So however the captain hated Horace, he would have to do that.
Just as soon as Helen had left, Isaac drove in.
Laura didn’t bother to move, so she was sitting at the window as she spotted a familiar face.
She couldn’t believe she saw Isaac.
In panic, Laura lost her cool without knowing what to do.
“Mom, Laura has sent people to catch me.” Laura turned to Helena, hoping she could give her a solution.
“Come on, hide away.” Helena took her straight to a small bathroom.
Fortunately, Clara was nice enough to let her live in such a great place, otherwise Laura would have had nowhere to hide.
As Helena was thinking of that, she went to see Isaac.
Because Isaac made such a scene that it drew all the people in the nursing home out.
They were wondering who was doing such a dramatic entrance.
“Hi, what can I do for you?” the director came forward and asked.
These people were all good old fellas, who never got in trouble with anyone. What was all that for?
It kept everyone guessing, but no one knew for sure.
“You don’t recognize me?” Isaac took off his sunglasses and looked at the director.
The last time he came here was to take Helena to the nursing home, so the director should have known him.
“Oh, yes. You are Helena’s family?” Despite her old age, the director could vividly remember how Isaac had come there the first time because of the commotion he had caused back then.
“Well, not exactly. I’m here to pay her a visit.” Isaac followed the director into Helena’s room.
“What’s the matter?” Helena asked the director.
“I don’t know either. Please ask this mister.” The director’s job was to bring Isaac there and since she had done it, what’s left was none of her business.
“Hi, I’m here to look for someone. Sorry for disturbing you.” Isaac had never had any good opinion of the vicious mother, so he started the search directly without her permission.
Isaac didn’t do the searching himself, but let the men he brought handle it, while he himself stayed at the room, watching Helena in case she played any tricks.
“Boss, we can’t find her.”
“Neither did we.”
“Nope.”
Isaac frowned. Somehow, he felt something had been left out, so he simply went around the bedroom and took a look himself.
He slowly walked toward a spot that he found suspicious, which was big enough to hide a person…
Even the sound of breathing seemed to have faded away as he inched his way forward.
He suddenly pulled it open, only to find some dirty clothes. He then circled around the room again before he left without finding anything else suspicious
“Laura, come out,” said Helena to Laura when they had gone.
“Where did you hide? I was totally freaked out.” Helena felt sad as she saw the dirt on Laura’s face.
“Under the closet.”
The closets in the nursing home looked similar to the bed, and no one could find the gap without a closer look.
At that moment, Laura crawled underneath out of a fluster.
She was lucky enough to get in there in time, or otherwise she would be screwed if she had got caught by Isaac.
Laura wasn’t a complete idiot as not to be aware that her appearance could bring Horace out of the prison.
“God, what on earth does Clara want? Why won’t she let you off already?” Helena began to complain about Clara when she saw her real daughter in such a mess.
“Mom, it’s OK. Just be careful of her.” Laura put on a concerned look on her face.
Laura knew that Helena was still useful to her.
If Clara was to harm Helena, Laura would have nowhere to go.
So Helena was her best safety net. Sure, if Helen also counted.
The frustrated Isaac returned to the hospital, but before he got to Clara’s room, he saw Esther Clarke standing at the door.
He walked very fast, trying to avoid her, but the harder he tried, the closer she came to him.
“Hey, hey, hey! Isaac, wait for me.” Esther ran after Isaac for a few steps before she bumped against him.
“Why did you stop?” She covered her nose with her hands and glared at him.
“How did you know my name?” Isaac didn’t remember ever telling her his name.
Then how did she know?
Isaac was perplexed.
“I’m a smart girl. I can figure it out myself.” She swung her head, and gave Isaac a smarty look.
In fact, in Isaac’s eyes, what she had done made her look no other than a rogue.
Isaac turned around and left, seeing that she wouldn’t give him a real answer.
He didn’t have time to chitchat with her, because he had to go back to Clara and tell her how things were going so that they could come up with a way to save Horace.
“Hey, stop walking. I’ll tell you.”
She soon sprang forward to stop him as she saw him leaving again.
