Chapter 614 Speechless
"Laura, are you okay?"
Isaac immediately ran towards Laura.
She frowned slightly and took a step back.
He was about to hug her, but his hands froze in the air.
Laura looked at him, pursed her lips, and whispered, "I'm fine. Thanks."
Her cold tone was like a pot of cold water poured straight into his heart.
He put down his hands as if realizing something and forced a smile.
"That's good. I was just worried, so I came over to see you."
Laura nodded.
Then they both remained silent.
It was awkward. They used to be close and good friends, but now they had nothing to say to each
other.
Isaac felt sad all of a sudden. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "I'm fine. I'm not hurt. The
kidnapper has been arrested. You don't have to worry."
Isaac nodded and clenched his hands.
But he smiled gently at her.novelbin
"OK. It's late. I should go then."
Laura nodded.
Isaac then left.
Watching his back, Laura frowned and sighed as he entered the elevator.
Nicole said softly behind her, "Laura, he left. Let's come back inside."
Laura nodded and said to Jim and other people, "Thank you for staying here tonight."
Jim said respectfully with a bow, "You're welcome, Miss Davies. That's our job."
Laura didn't say anything and got back to her apartment with Nicole.
Laura had a good night's sleep that night, and she slept off her fatigue.
When she got up at 9 the next morning, she found that Nicole didn't leave but slept in the guest
bedroom last night.
Laura saw some breakfast on the dining table. Nicole greeted her with a smile, "Ah, you're awake!"
Laura responded with a smile. She walked over to the french window in the living room and stretched in
the sunlight.
It was a nice day, which was a good sign.
It had been cloudy over the last ten days but it was sunny that day.
The sun shone on the roadside and the snow on the treetops, reflecting a dazzling light, driving away
from the dark clouds in people's hearts.
She then walked towards the dining table to have breakfast.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Nicole put down her fork and said, "I'll get it!"
Then she ran to the door.
Unexpectedly, it was Max.
Nicole was startled but Laura was not surprised. Laura stood up and smiled at him, "Have you eaten
yet?"
Max shook his head, "No."
Nicole immediately said, "I'll get the cutlery for you."
She handed over a fork and a knife to Max.
Nicole had prepared a lot of food. Not only Max but also Jim and the others outside the door had a
share.
Laura noticed that Max was tired with dark circles beneath his eyes. He probably stayed up all night.
She offered some soup to him and asked, "Did you figure it out?"
Max took a sip and said, "He confessed. He didn't have to hide anything. Last night he took us to the
factory and moved the bodies out of the basement."
Laura expected it, but she still felt sick.
She suppressed the wave of nausea and asked, "Are those people really dead?"
Max nodded.
Afraid she was worried, he looked up at her and said calmly, "They were criminals. They turned against
each other, so you don't really have to feel sorry for them."
Laura forced a smile.
It was true, but she had seen them and they had been brutally killed.
She felt uncomfortable about this.
She was just a normal person. Although she had a tough life, Fannie protected her and she had not
seen the real darkness of the world.
After the meal, Laura went to the police station with Max.
In fact, the case had been solved and it was merely a formality, so it was done in less than half an hour.
Max didn't let Diego see Laura because there was no need.
She had already seen the dark side of the world. She didn't need to live it again.
They walked out of the police station and Max said directly, "They will track down the accomplices, so
you don't have to worry, but you should bring two bodyguards with you for safety whenever you go out.
I'll arrange two trusted and experienced bodyguards for you."
The old Laura would have refused it.
But this time she nodded without saying anything.
She knew that now she was in no position to refuse.
She used to think she was so strong that she didn't need to be protected and could protect herself and
her mother.
But this accident made her realize that she was nothing in front of those tough strong guys.
She couldn't even protect herself from Diego, let alone those who were strong.
So she had no reason to refuse his suggestion for the sake of herself and her mother.
Seeing that she agreed, Max was in a good mood and held her hand.
Laura stiffened and looked at him.
He wasn't looking at her but looked outside the window.
But the smile on his lips showed that he was happy.
Laura's heart was suddenly soft. The warm sunlight seemed to shine on her heart.
She thought for a moment.
Maybe it was good.
With Max and her mother around, she didn't need to worry about anything.
