What do you want to see her about?&#8221; I look at him and ask in confusion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve already investigated the matter. The reason seems to be that Mom is short of money. We need to go and ask about this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that he has also investigated this matter.<\/p>\n<p>I thought he didn&#8217;t care about it.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps, he and Mindy receive the news at about the same time.<\/p>\n<p>If he agrees to investigate Hilda, can he find out some clues?<\/p>\n<p>However, he doesn&#8217;t think something is wrong with Hilda from the start. Even though I&#8217;m terribly worried, it doesn&#8217;t help.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;OK. Let&#8217;s go ask,&#8221; I smile faintly and say to him.<\/p>\n<p>Frances frowns and stares at me with curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t seem surprised.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was on the phone with Mindy just now. She told me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve already made it clear. There&#8217;s no point in hiding it from him.<\/p>\n<p>Frances nods with a thoughtful expression. With my hand in his, we walk out together.<\/p>\n<p>When I go downstairs, old Mr. Louis is putting medicine on his hand.<\/p>\n<p>I take a look at his hand. Because of the aging of his skin, his wounds are recovering very slowly, and even festering.<\/p>\n<p>It pains me to see him struggling to put medicine on his hand.<\/p>\n<p>I want to go over and help him. Frances knows what I&#8217;m thinking.<\/p>\n<p>He shakes his head at me and says in a low voice, &#8220;Don&#8217;t go over. He is stubborn. If you go to help him, he&#8217;ll probably even refuse to apply medicine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I nod and walk past old Mr. Louis with my head lowered.<\/p>\n<p>Frances drives me to where Sabina lives.<\/p>\n<p>This time, he does not knock on the door, but takes out a key.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How did you get the key?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I look at him in surprise and ask in a small voice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do you think such a thing is difficult for me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So all this was just takeout ordered by Sabina.<\/p>\n<p>Frances has a glance at the food on the table and smiles at Sabina, &#8220;Look at all this. Mom, I don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re short of money. Why did you take Jane&#8217;s ring and sell it for money?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sabina&#8217;s hands stop moving. She probably didn&#8217;t expect Frances to ask her so straightforwardly.<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention her, not even me.<\/p>\n<p>She takes a look at us and lowers her head, seemingly thinking about whether to tell the truth.<\/p>\n<p>After pondering for a while, she looks at me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If it was in the past, I would never take a fancy to your ring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I nod to show that I know.<\/p>\n<p>Sabina has always been arrogant, so she is quite above theft.<\/p>\n<p>So, what is the real reason?<\/p>\n<p>She looks at Frances and sighs, &#8220;I did this because of your dad.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-487","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
