326 They Are Brothers
Anna was not busy recently. So, she visited Emily in the hospital every day at noon with the food she made.
When Anna walked into the ward, she frowned, glanced around, and asked, "Ryan is not here? Has he ever visited you lately?”
Emily replied, "He's actually been here a few times. He generally comes at night because our drill isn't finished yet. I don't have to participate in it because we discovered a drug den. But they put Ryan in charge of this and made him write all the paperwork. He has a lot of work ahead of him, so he's super busy.”
When Anna realized Emily was speaking for Ryan, she sighed and shook her head. "You're too sweet and thoughtful, Emily. Here, have some chicken soup.”
Anna opened the lunchbox, poured the chicken soup into a bowl, and handed it to Emily.
“Anna, your boyfriend is a lucky guy;" Emily commented as she took the bowl.
"Why?" Anna asked in amazement.
"Because you're such an excellent cook! If | wasn't straight, I'd surely fall for you.”
"Really? Then why don't you go on a date with a chef?"
Emily froze, realizing what she had just said was silly. When Anna noticed she was genuinely thinking about it, she giggled and turned on the TW.
"The police made progress the Joan Group drug trafficking '326 They Are Brothers uF investigation a few days ago. They discovered methamphetamine..."
The case caused quite a sensation in Birmingham. In fact, it was one of the city's largest narcotics seizures in the recent decade. To everyone's surprise, it was some students from Military Academy who caught the criminals. Everybody could see this news for the past three days whenever they turned on their TVs.
In addition, the authorities discovered several nightclubs related to this crime. Almost every nightclub owner later expressed worry.
“By the way, | heard that you found the boxes full of watches. Where did they hide the meth? Was it curiously.
inside the watch dials?" Anna asked
Emily was sipping soup at the time. She swallowed and replied, "I'm not sure how they found it, but they said it was inside the watch straps. The straps were made of rubber, and after cutting them open, they discovered that they were hollow on the inside. Each watch contained a single dose of drugs.”
Anna was taken aback by the fact that they were concealing drugs in such a hidden place. If she and Andrew hadn't seen the spilled meth, they wouldn't have guessed there were drugs in those watches.
Soon, a tap on the door interrupted their conversation. Then a woman asked as she stood by the door, "Hello, is Miss Emily Lewis here?"
Anna and Emily both turned around and saw an elegant woman at the door. She was dressed in a navy blue coat and a beige dress, with her hair ina lovely bun.
Emily had never met her, but Anna had. So, Anna asked in surprise, "Jennie? Is it you?"
She recognized this woman as Jennie Wright, the owner of the ieleculnir' toed Aidat aor tani aie war Wihire's chothac. '326 They Are Brothers adh
Anna frowned and said,"! know it's inappropriate for me to ask these questions. But | wanted to make sure that if Ryan and Wayne..."
Jennie looked at her calmly, for she had known this fact for a long. time. She said, "That's right, they're brothers. Do you have a moment? Let's talk about the past, shall we?"
Jennie spoke softly, giving the impression that she was the type of woman with a low profile. Anna realized she didn't appear to be the selfish, cheating b***h Wayne described. She knew that only those who had gone through the accident could explain everything. And everyone had their own side of the story.
They then went to a cafe near the hospital.
Jennie smiled as she surveyed the cafe, saying, "I haven't been downtown in many vears. The decoration here is very different from what | ‘326 They Are Brothers adh
remember seeing when | was young. Do young folks nowadays like this style? Should | also update the design of my hotel?"
Anna looked around the cafe. It was decorated in a fashionable style with popular components and was a far cry from the pleasant environment of the Maplesugar Hotel.
"No, | believe it is best for you to keep to yourself. | truly like the way you decorated your hotel.”
Jennie gave a bashful smile, took a deep breath, and replied, "Anna, you are welcome to stay at my hotel at any moment. | heard that Ryan has been staying at your place these days. Thank you for looking after him."
Anna asked hesitantly, "So, you knew Ryan had been around Wayne? Did he do that on purpose?”
Anna felt uneasy because she knew there could be no such coincidence. Ryan stayed at Anna's house recently because she accidentally hit him with her car. However, she began to wonder if the whole thing had been planned.
