Alina's tone was tight as she asked.
To this day, she still shivers in the face of the events of that night.
"Miss Hughes, now here's the thing, we need to know the details of that night now! You need to recall."
Alina's already unpleasant face grew even worse when she heard the word 'details'.
Even after all these years, there were details of that night that she still didn't dare to recall.!
Every time she thinks about the events of that night, she feels a tingling in her body.
She took several deep breaths, but could not suppress the suffocation in her heart.
"Miss Hughes, please relax because the case from that night may overlap with another case and we need to be sure now!"
Alina took a deep breath.
And then she said, "Go ahead."
"Did you see the man that night, was he injured?"
Alina closed her eyes.
She tried to remember what had happened that night, but only for a moment, her heart choked.
And her face was white.
"Miss Hughes?"
"I, I don't remember!" It wasn't that she didn't remember, but that she didn't dare to remember.
"Miss Hughes, please relax, you can tell us everything here and we'll make sure you're safe."
No, it's not about safety.
What the hell was going on then?
It was chaos!
She was so stimulated by what happened after that night that a lot of information was jumbled up.
She said, "I don't know if he's hurt." She really didn't know.
"Miss Hughes, this information is crucial for us at the moment." His tone was heavier.
The information was more than important, it was crucial.
Alina closed her eyes again!
After taking several deep breaths, she heard him ask, "Do you smell blood?"
Alina, "......"
At these words, she opened her eyes violently.
Her pupils flashed with urgency.
Was there?
She though so, but she couldn't remember if it was the man's or her own
"I don't know." For the first time, in all those years, after her parents had left, she faced the question head-on.
In all those years, she hadn't wanted to think about what had happened, so now, she couldn't answer anything at all.
"I really don't know, I..." The smell was so pungent!
At that moment, when the smell was overwhelming her, she just felt that she. was really finished.
At that moment, something disappeared from her world, never, never to be found again.
"It's okay, Miss Hughes, don't think about it if you can't remember, it's okay!" The man saw that something was wrong with Alina.
She didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After all, everyone here knew what damage it had done to Alina.
Her parents had sent her to a psychiatrist because she was in such a bad way that they had come here several times to ask for results.
He was urged to get the results back.
That's how much it really hurt her.
And all these years later, now, looking at her reaction, he can see that all these years she has been afraid to face that question.
So it was cruel to force her to do so now.
There are things from back then that have been checked out.
But now, little by little, she is sure they'll be found out soon.
Her grandmother's case also took a breakthrough, and now that night, it seems that there is also a good progress.
"I won't be back for a while, let's wait for the results to come in." Alina thought for a moment and said to the other side of the phone.
The tone of her voice was as calm as possible.
Andre, "Okay, got it."
"......"
"Be careful with Caleb then!" said Andre on the other end of the line as he was about to hang up.
Alina got even more upset speaking of Caleb.
She said, "It's not just me, it's you too!"
"What?"
"He knows a lot about VIG's secret projects."
There was silence on the other side of the phone.
And then, Andre's tone took on a dangerous tone, "He threatened you with this?"
Andre was a perceptive man and knew exactly what was going on with Alina the moment she mentioned it.
Caleb was such a ruthless man in business, but he was so emotionally inept!
Alina, "Anyway, you should be careful with him." "They've seen how crazy Caleb is before.
So whatever his attitude was now, it was better to be careful too!
"You needn't be afraid of him!" Andre said in a heavier tone.
Alina, "I'm not afraid of him."
After meeting again, her emotions towards the man were never fearful.
