Chapter 63

“Do you know the man who was with her? My first reaction was to ask that

Cecilia shook her head and said, “I think I heard Cindy call him Zedd.**

Zedd Nichols. No wonder they had not come to me looking for trouble. They had changed their strategy and had chosen to target Cecilia instead,

Had they done this to Cecilia just to get back at me?

Things were no longer as simple as I previously thought

I felt a headache coming on. After comforting Cecilia and promising her that I would get to the bottom of this, I left the interrogallon room. Mason was waiting for me in the hall. When he saw m e coming out, he walked up to steady me.

Are you okay?”

I shook my head. “Ti she’s found guilty, how many years is she gonna have to Serve!

“Possibly three to seven years, and it could go up to more than seven years too. It all depends on the victim’s condition and what the policemen say about it,” Mason answered solemnly.

My kies gave way, and I lost my balance. How cruel could Cindy Reed he, ruining another girl’s life just to get back at me?

This is definitely a setup. Cecilia didn’t drink, and she didn’t hit-and-run! She got down from her car to check on the victim, and it was the victim that had asked her to leave the scene! How can I help her?” I grasped Mason’s arm tightly as I asked anxiously. 1

Mason frowned at my rambling “Calm down. Tell me everything, slowly.”

I told him everything Cecilia had told me.

Since it was by a road, there should have been more than one camera there.”

immediately made a beeline outside.

We went to the crime scene immediately b y following Cecilia’s address. Any hope I had quickly evaporated.

The place was secluded, surrounded by trees, and only had one camera from afar, It would be hard to even find a witness around here

It seemed like this place had been chosen on purpose

I stood inside the hospital, groggy and helpless, for a long while. By the time I came back to my senses, the sky was alreadly dark, so I decided to return to the

It had been a while since I had been back a t the villa since I was deliberately 7 Lilling TLFI.

When I opened the door, I saw that the lights on the second floor were lit. It looked like Theo was home from work

After standing on the ground floor for some time, I finally made up my mind and made my way up the stairs. The only person I could beg for help to save Cecilia now was him.

As I carefully pushed the door op 1, ‘The lifted his head. When he saw it was me, trace of joy flashed across his eyes, albeit a flash that disappeared too quickly. He

After hearing his cold, apathetic tone, I thought what I had just seen had to merely be a trick my eyes were playing on

1. me.

“Yeah,” I answered.

He did not say more, and I did not know how to initiate the conversation I wanted to start. After a few minutes, I awkwardly said, “I’ll return to my room. You rest early too.”

Suddenly, he got up and pulled me into his lap, hugging me from behind.
