While Corinne was leaning on the bed head with her eyes closed, someone knocked on the door, and an unfamiliar 40-
something woman came in.
“Who are you looking for?” Corinne opened her eyes and
looked warily at the woman. ‘Why would the police officers let a random stranger in? Who is she?‘
The middle–aged woman bowed respectfully and said, “Miss Corinne, I’m the nurse that Mister Tommy sent. You can call me
Nancy. I’ll be here to take care of your diet and your daily needs. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you need anything.”
Corinne raised her eyebrows. “Tommy? Tommy Jenkinson?”
The middle–aged woman nodded. “Yes. That’s him.”
Corinne frowned a little. ‘Why did he hire a nurse for me out of the blue? Did Jeremy leave? Guess he doesn’t believe me
anymore, not that I’m surprised since he and I don’t have any sort of genuine relationship in the first place! Funnily enough, he
seemed to have told me that he liked me and wanted me not to put a wall between us, and I almost believed it.‘
At that moment, another ruckus was heard from outside.
“Who are you? Why won’t you let me in? Don’t stand in my way! My aunt is inside! I want to go in and see her...” It was Annie’s
voice.
When Corinne heard that, she said to the nurse, “Could you tell the police to let that girl in? She’s my niece–in–law.”
Nancy nodded and did as she was told. Nancy brought Annie in

some time later, but she had a frown on her face and was complaining somewhat angrily. “This is absurd! I didn’t come for a day,
and now all this has happened! This is unjust, I say!”
Corinne looked at Annie, then at the thermos flask she was carrying. “What delicacies do you have for me today?”
Annie raised the thermos in her hand. “Oh, this? Auntie, this is some chicken soup that I asked my mother to make for you.
People always say that it’s best to drink soup when you’re sick! Maybe your hand will heal faster once you drink it!”
Corinne smiled. “Thanks. I’m actually feeling a little puckish right now! Could you please fill a bowl for me and let it cool a little,
Nancy?”
“Sure thing, Miss Corinne,” Nancy said. She stepped forward, took the thermos from Annie’s hand, and went to one side to
prepare it.
Annie looked at Nancy, then at the handcuffs on Corinne’s hands and feet, and pouted uneasily. “Are you just going to let them
handcuff you like this?”
Corinne shrugged and smiled indifferently. “I’m a suspect now, so it’s understandable for the police to do this and stop me from
escaping.”
Annie huffed in anger. “Suspect, my foot! You’d never stoop to something so low! This makes me so bad!”
Corinne was stunned for a moment, and she felt a little sad when she saw how much Annie believed her even though they did
not spend much time together. Jeremy, on the other hand...
Perhaps there was no point thinking about him at such a time.
She had stopped thinking about it when Annie somehow brought it up angrily. And then there’s the heartless Uncle Jeremy! Fern

Corinne only managed to get half of it, and it was natural for her to feel curious. “What did he do?”
