Estelle’s shoulder was injured, but not severely. She moved a bit and said softly, “I’m fine.”
Jonathan grunted and said, “Wait for me, I’ll be right there.”
About half an hour later, the chief of the police station personally came over, with a mild expression.
“Young lady, are you scared? Don’t worry, we’ll definitely punish those who hurt you.”

“I want to know the result. Before tomorrow night, ”
After hanging up the phone, the man held her hand and looked at her face expressionlessly, “Are you
scared?”

and laughing, “No, just a little hungry.”
Jonathan seemed to chuckle lightly, his voice softening in an instant, “I’ll take you to dinner.”
“Mhm.”
Estelle wasn’t scared, and even seemed more at ease.

outside.
As they entered, the faint aroma of alcohol and soft laughter drifted out from the front building, instantly
making people feel relaxed and happy.

expression and laughed sincerely, “She’s so beautiful!”
Jonathan didn’t deny or admit, but simply smiled and asked, “Where’s Mr. Gould?”
‘He’s in the back, stewing soup. He insisted on watching it himself. I think it’s about ready. You two can
try it later.”
“Alright, just order some other dishes for us, Esteile likes sweet and spicy food,” said Jonathan.
The woman looked at Estelle and smiled, “No problem, i’ll personally make a few dishes, I’m sure the
young lady will like them.” After a few more small talk, the woman left with a smile.
