I had intended to refuse, but the exhaustion in my body prevented me from uttering the words of refusal.
I closed my eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
I woke up groggily, not knowing how much time had passed, and found myself covered with a thin blanket. Charlie had already left.
There was a note left on the table, which said, “Rest well, call me anytime if you need anything. – Charlie.”
I looked at the note, feeling a warm sensation in my heart.
The next morning, I came to the hospital again.
Bonnie’s condition had improved a lot, and her complexion looked better than yesterday.
She saw me come in, with a hint of complexity in her eyes, but quickly regained her composure.
“You came.”
She whispered.
I nodded and sat by her bed, “How do you feel? What did the doctor say?”
Bonnie gave a bitter smile.
“Doctor, I needed more rest.”

She paused, looked up at me, with a hint of hesitation in her
eyes.
“Are you really willing to help me?”
I stared into her eyes. My tone was resolute.
“I wasn’t helping you; I was helping that innocent child.”
“Antonio’s actions have already crossed the line, and he must pay the price.”
Bonnie remained silent for a moment and eventually nodded.
“Okay, I listened to you.”
Over the next few days, Bonnie and I collected evidence of Antonio’s attempted murder.
I accompanied Bonnie to retrieve the dashcam from the car and made a copy of the footage from that day.
At the same time, I took out the recorded phone conversation I had made as evidence.
In order to provide more comprehensive evidence, we also retrieved the traffic surveillance footage through the traffic police.
After collecting the evidence, we formally filed a lawsuit with the court.
In order to win the lawsuit beautifully, I even hired the best lawyer.
A few days before the court hearing, I continued to work as usual.
Chapter 26
That day, I had just finished a meeting and returned to my desk when my phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from my friend Ella. I answered the phone, feeling somewhat uneasy in my heart.
“Grace, it’s not good, Fluffy is lost!”
Ella’s voice was somewhat hurried.
My mind buzzed, and the folder in my hand almost dropped to the ground.
Fluffy was the British Shorthair that I raised, chubby and usually lazy, but particularly attached to me.
These days, I was busy with moving and dealing with divorce matters, so I didn’t have time to take care of it. I temporarily left it at my friend’s house.
I didn’t expect that such a thing would happen.
“I went over immediately.”
I hung up the phone, hastily asked for leave, and headed straight to my friend’s house.
Along the way, my heart was in a mess, and my mind was filled with images of Fluffy.
Did it run away? Was it caught by someone? The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and my steps became faster and faster.
When I arrived at Ella’s house, I rang the doorbell. As soon as the door opened, I was stunned – standing behind the door was not Ella, but Antonio.

I instinctively took a step back, and my heart sank suddenly.
Antonio, how did he get here?
“How did you get here?”
I asked with a cold face.
Antonio did not answer, but just turned aside to let me in.
I hesitated for a moment, but I still walked in.
The room was empty, Ella was not there, and Fluffy was also not there.
“Where was Fluffy?”
I stared at him, feeling a vague sense of unease in my heart.
Antonio closed the door and leaned against it; his gaze filled with complexity.
“Fluffy was fine, I just wanted to see you.”
–
I immediately understood – it was a trap.
Ella tricked me into coming here to meet Antonio.
“Are you crazy?”
I dropped these words and turned around to leave.
Antonio grabbed my wrist tightly, exerting a strong force, and
I couldn’t break free.
His voice was a little hoarse, “Don’t go, let’s talk.”
