Loveless Marriage

"Yes, I'm now at home. I went out for a walk just now. What's going on?"

Diana's voice sounded very calm, so Isabella slightly relieved and said: "Nothing, I just wanna ask how Rachel was doing today."

"She ate something just now and has already fell asleep. However, I guess she was a bit scared as she didn't see you after waking up this morning, and dared not to even cry, which made me quite upset." Hearing this, Isabella immediately became worried, but she couldn't go back now. She said with a frown: "Then, after she wakes up...Call me and I'll talk to her. "

"Sure."

Then Isabella said, "I saw it's raining today, so don't go out."

"Oh, got it. Don't forget to take an umbrella as well." If Diana knew that she'd came to Liverpool today and almost had a car accident, she may be even more worried.

Then Isabella hung up the phone.

Canon walked to her side and said, "You don't have to worry too much. I'll find it out."

Hearing this, Isabella turned her head away, saying with an expressionless and cold face: "This is the Police's work, so there's no need to trouble you. I'll let Christian send you back later."

This was her family's issue, so she'd blame herself if anyone get hurt because of her. Although she acted like she was cold and unkind, she still had to do it.

Looking at her, Canon no longer spoke.

After a while, a police car arrived. After they got some evidence, Isabella and Canon went to the police station with them.

Through the surveillance, Isabella confirmed that it wasn't an accident but the car was just running towards her. It was a pity that she couldn't see the driver's face clearly through the windscreen. The man not only wore a hat, but also a mask.

"Miss Jones, we'll look into this case and keep in touch with you anytime."

"Thank you so much." Isabella nodded, feeling complicated.

When she left Police station, it was already 2pm. Her mood wasn't very good.

Standing at the side for a long while, Canon finally walked over and asked "Miss Jones, may I send you back?"

Isabella took a light breath, closed her eyes, and muttered: "Okay."

She was only safe staying with him.

Before the car was driven out of the city, Isabella suddenly reminded that Liverpool was Minh's hometown as well. Today was the anniversary of his mother's death, and he took a day off today... "Mr. Braun, please stop for a moment."

Canon stepped on the brakes, and slowly pulled over.

Isabella took out her mobile and called Minh.

The phone was connected after a few seconds, "Miss Jones."

His extremely hoarse voice made Isabella frown immediately. "Minh, what's going on? Where are you right now?"

He couldn't be drinking alone in a bar or somewhat, could he?

"I'm okay... Ugh..." Before Minh could finish his words, she heard the sound of vomiting.

Isabella anxiously shouted out: "Minh, did you drink? Tell me your place."

After a whole while, Minh finally said, "Cough... Miss Jones... cough... I'm fine, I'm in my hometown right now. You can't go to my place anyway." "Hometown? Liverpool?" Isabella's eyes flashed. Then she said solemnly: "Tell me your address, Now."
