Vanessa explained, “Well, Henry helped out when your father was involved in the medical dispute. Noticing that
we were concerned about the matter, people have kept us informed about it. They think it's a way to gain our
favor.”
She looked around and added, “We might get in other people’s way if we talk here. Why don’t we have a chat at
the cate across the street?
Emelie pondered briefly and nodded. “Alright.”
As they stepped out, Emelie noticed it had started raining Vanessa's driver opened an umbrella to shield them,
but Emelle took it from him.
“I'll do it.” She held the umbrella over both of them as they walked to the cale
Willam, who had just arrived at the hospital entrance, happened to witness the scene. His eyes turned dark.
The cafe was quiet in the morning. They took a seat by the window, and a waiter brought the menu. “What
would you like to drink?”
Vanessasmiled. “Emelie, you decide.”
Emelle said, “One white coffee and one mocha, please.”
“Got it.” The water left.
Vanessa remarked warmly, “You remembered | like white coffer. You're always so considerate, keeping track of
what others like Henry appreciated the chess set you gave him for his birthday last year.”
As a secretary, remembering such details was part of Emelie’s job. Emelie responded, “You've both been so kind
to me. It’s only right forto show my gratitude.”
Vanessa teased, “Of course, we have to take care of you. We consider you a daughter-in-law

Though a bit uncomfortable, Emelie couldn't show it. She chose to remain silent. Vanessa asked, “How's your
father’s injury?”
Emelle sighed. “It’s pretty bad. He has a broken leg and is in a cast”
to heal properly. It would be best to get
“As people get older, their bones becbrittle. Recovery isn’t as quick as it is for the young. Plus, being in

Vanessa continued gently, “If you need any help, I'm here for you.
Emelle wondered if Vanessa could help get Ronan out early. She frowned slightly. “Isn't that a bit too much
trouble?
Vanessa smiled. “His sentence is almost up anyway. The additional days in solitary are a punishment, but the
number of days can be negotiated.”
If Ronan could be released early, Emelie wouldn't have to lie to Greta. Besides, she was also worried about
Ronan’s leg. She didn’t refuse. “Thank you, Mrs. Middleton.
“We're family. Who else would I help if not you?”
The waiter brought their coffee, Vanessa book a sip, then gently set it down before continuing, “I remember you
mentioned you share an apartment with a friend”
Emelie’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. Calmly, she replied, “Yes, but my roommate recently went back to her
hometown.”
“Where is her hometown?
“A small town in a neighboring city.”
which city, exactly? There are so many cities around us.”
If Vanessa had just been trying to make casual conversation, she would have stopped at one or two questions.

She gripped the handle of her coffee cup and decided to go straight to the point. “Mrs. Middleton, is there
something you want to tellabout my roommate?”
