The voice paused before saying, “Ms. Conner, did you watch the news?”
I was taken aback and honestly replied, “I saw it, are you referring to the news about the white sports
car that exploded?”
“Uh-huh!” He responded, “The police station sent someone over and said that the car belonged to
Daniel. It seems he had been back in the country for a few days. Have you seen him before? I mean,
after we came back from the border.”
“I’ve seen it.” Knowing what he wanted to ask me, I took a slight breath and said, “I’m not very clear
about the car.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
He quickly said, “Don’t overthink it, that’s not what I meant. I called you to tell you that the person in the
car was burned alive. However, the DNA test results from the team just came out, the person in the car
wasn’t Daniel, it was Simon!”
Hearing such news, I wasn’t surprised, just felt powerless. Indeed, Ezra was truly a disaster that lasted
for a thousand years.
It seems that Roy had called Walter away just now because of this!
I heaved a deep sigh, and said into the phone, “Thank you for telling me all this, Officer Lu.”
He fell silent for a moment before saying, “Ms. Conner, do you happen to know something about the
car accident?”
I frowned, falling into silence.

Seeing that I didn’t speak, he said, “I didn’t mean to interrogate you, I just wanted to remind you that
Simon was on the blacklist in the bureau, but he was also Daniel’s capable assistant domestically. Now
that he’s dead, Daniel might not let it go easily. You and Mr. Hinton need to be careful.”
“Hmm!” I nodded, realizing that this time Walter was too impatient. I knew he didn’t want me to risk
going to the border with Ezra, so he planned to deal with Ezra domestically.
Could…
After hanging up the phone with Stanley, I felt somewhat drained, as if an unchangeable sense of
fatigue was tightly wrapping around me.
So, I still had to take the path that I had to take.
Life seemed to always be like this, just when you thought there might be hope for everything, it
suddenly hit you hard, sending you back to square one in an instant, leaving you with no other choice.
“Ding…” A faint sound came from the door, at first, I thought I was hallucinating.
“Ding-dong!” This time it was very clear, it was the doorbell ringing.
I thought it was Walter who had arranged for someone to deliver something, so I got up to open the
door. The door code was indeed my birthday. This person was really something. If he hadn’t mentioned
it, I really wouldn’t have thought of it.
After entering the password, the door rang once and then opened.
I looked towards the door, first seeing a pair of men’s elderly leather shoes, then hearing the respectful
voice of the other party, “Ms. Conner.”

“Dale!” Seeing Dale’s face, I was genuinely surprised.
He looked at me, pulling a slight smile, then moved his body aside. I then saw the old lady standing
behind him, leaning on a golden nanmu
cane.
Seeing her, I was taken aback for a moment, but it was only for an instant. I then smiled slightly and
invited both of them into the house.
Upon entering the house, the old lady took a quick look around before sitting down. I poured a glass of
water for both her and Dale.
Seeing me sit down, the old lady looked at me and said, “Tabatha, it’s been quite some time.”
I smiled and said it had been a long time since we last met, but when I thought about it, it wasn’t really
that long ago. However, she seemed to have aged quite a bit, her body not as strong as before. It was
probably due to those two illnesses she had. I remember hearing when I was a child that the elderly are
most afraid of falls and injuries. Once they get hurt, they either can’t recover, or if they do, their old age
becomes more and more apparent.
Aging, it seemed, never came gradually, bit by bit, but rather, it arrived suddenly.
I didn’t know how the old lady managed to find this place, but since she came, presumably, it wasn’t
just to see me.
Sure enough, Dale from the side handed me a delicate box. The old lady looked at me and said, “Last
time at the hospital, I spoke too harshly. Don’t hold a grudge against me. I’m old and don’t have many
years left. Now, I just hope that the descendants of the Hinton family are all well. Please understand my
feelings as a grandmother.”
I nodded, pursing my lips, “I won’t blame you for not being able to bring Elliott back, and for Walter
getting so badly hurt. It’s perfectly

understandable if you blame me.”
She sighed slightly, looking at the box placed in front of me, “I had Dale go to the Conner’s place to
look for you, but I heard that you never returned to the Conner’s place after you came back. After
asking around multiple times, I found out you were here, so I came. This is my sincerity in apologizing,
are you satisfied?”
