To lighten the mood, Trent spoke up, “Dotson went to the hospital to keep Charlie company. We’ll keep you updated if we hear anything from the police.”

“Thank you for your support.”
As Hannah walked back to the villa alone, Keith couldn’t help but ask Trent, “Shouldn’t we try to comfort Hannah?”
“This is between Hannah and Bryson. It’s not our place to intervene no matter how much we want to. They need to work it out themselves.”
The next morning, before Hannah woke up, she received a phone call.
She answered the phone with her eyes still closed. “Hello?”
“Hello, is this Ms. Moore?”
The voice on the other end of the line immediately snapped Hannah back to attention, and she opened her eyes. “Yes, speaking. What’s the matter?”
Identifying himself as calling from the police station, the man informed Hannah, “We have a Ms. Chadwick here who wishes to see you. Would it be possible for you to come?”
“Yes, of course.” Hannah sat up, her tone becoming more alert.
“Our visiting hours are from nine to ten. Please plan your visit during this time.”
“Okay.”
After ending the call, Hannah glanced at the time on her phone.
It was nearly half-past eight. She swiftly freshened up, changed into a new outfit, grabbed her coat, and headed downstairs to her car.
Moments later, she was on her way.
The car pulled up in front of the police station just two minutes shy of nine.
After completing the necessary formalities, a policeman escorted Hannah to a room.
Amelie was impeccably dressed as usual, seated across from Hannah, appearing as though she had been waiting for quite some time.
When Amelie caught sight of Hannah, she offered a smile. “Hannah, I didn’t think you’d be so prompt.”
Hannah pulled out a chair and settled into it, studying Amelie carefully. “I didn’t expect you to be faring so well lately.”
“I simply have to cooperate with the investigation. They can’t trample on my rights, can they?”
Amelie retrieved a cigarette and placed it between her fingers, her gaze fixed on Hannah. “But that’s not why I asked you to come.”
The lighter flicked, dancing flames igniting the cigarette, tendrils of smoke rising.
