Chapter 1015
Ashton frowned slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
Ann showing up here was rather a surprise to me. I didn’t plan to meet her, but since she came to me, I
had no choice but to let her in.
I was slightly taken aback at meeting her this time. She had been visiting me at the hospital, but I didn’t
really pay attention to her. Now that she was here in front of me, I collected my thoughts and looked at
her closely.
How should I phrase this?
She was rather different from the first time I saw her in the cattle sheds. At that time, her eyes were
filled with timidness and she looked dazed. However, this time, it seemed her timidness was replaced
by determination.
I looked at her and stayed silent for a while before asking, “What’s the matter?”
She lifted her gaze at Ashton, and her eyes flickered. I was all too familiar with her gaze. The girl must
be stunned to see the handsome man. I knew how attractive Ashton was, so I didn’t bother to stop her.
Ann turned to me and pondered for a while. “Ms. Stovall, thank you for saving my life. I’ll remember
what you did for me, and I’ll repay your kindness.”
I pursed my lips and waited for her to continue.
As expected, she fell silent for a while before continuing, “Ms. Stovall, I’m grateful to you. I know your
daughter is waiting for surgery, and I heard you adopted my sister. I hope you can treat her well and
hopefully she can help your daughter.”
I frowned as she was beating around the bush. Pursing my lips, I urged, “Stop wasting time and get to
the point.”novelbin
She froze and took a deep breath before kneeling down on the floor. “Ms. Stovall, I know I shouldn’t
look for you, but I don’t have a choice. I don’t know who I should find except you.”
I furrowed my brows. “Get up. I cannot accept your kneel.” To be honest, most people disliked people
kneeling down in front of them and begged them for something. I was not one of those lunatics who
enjoyed being worshiped by others.
She got up from the floor and said, “Ever since Mr. Fuller cleared the Imperial Hotel, my friend was
taken away. I figured he might be sold off, so I went to the police, but they couldn’t do anything about it.
He had been in the Imperial Hotel for many years, so there’s no way they can’t find him.”
Listening to her vague words, I furrowed my brows slightly in bewilderment. “Aren’t you always living in
a village? How do you get yourself a friend here so quickly? Didn’t you kill Fritz? I think you
misunderstood what I meant. Back then, I saved you because I have some questions to ask you. Fritz’s
body is still in the Wolfsen residence, so your sister could still be tortured. Ann, I don’t think I’ll help a
murderer like you for a second time.”
The girl was stunned and was at a loss as she looked at me.
Looking at her, I said, “Tell me. How did you kill Fritz and escape? Plus, how did you go to work at the
Imperial Hotel?”
I wasn’t that kind-hearted as she thought I was. Back then, I saved her because I had some questions
to ask her. Seeing how she was humiliated by Dillan, I couldn’t help but pity her. However, I paid the
price of losing my baby. I could only blame myself for being foolish.
Ann pressed her lips and told me everything that happened these few days. She was taken away from
Ronald’s house to the Wolfsen residence and was forced to marry Fritz. She was reluctant, so she tried
to commit suicide, but failed.
Then, she was sent to an old doctor’s house in the village for treatment. She thought of ways to run
away during the treatment period. However, she bumped into Fritz when she was about to escape from
the village. He grabbed her while she struggled to break free. In midst of pushing and pulling, she
accidentally pushed him down from the second floor. The man fell down in a head-to-ground position
and died.
Ann knew she had to run away. Or else she would be dead. Hiding in the mountains for a few days,
she took the offerings from the graves to curb her hunger. Later on, Kurt couldn’t find her, so he went to
Ronald’s house looking for trouble.
Seizing the chance, she escaped from the village. Hidden away in the shadows, she saw everything
unfold in front of her eyes. Alma was taken away by Kurt.
I pondered for a while before looking at her. “So, you’re in the white van that followed us that day?”
She nodded and explained, “I stole some money from the Wolfsen residence and hired someone to
follow you guys. I just wanted to know where Amy was. If I become successful in the future, I can
reunite with her.”
