"Don't worry, we understand," the three caregivermedical professionals nodded in agreement.

"I won't tell either," Mia said, her little plump hand covering her mouth.

"What do we do now? Do we just do nothing?" Nathan asked worriedly. "I'm really concerned about Grandpa."

"I am too..." Noah said, lowering his head, "Grandpa has been so kind to us. I, if he's really sick, we should go see him."

"Don't worry," Sadie soothed the children. "Mommy will sneakily ask around, and once the news is confirmed, I'll arrange for you guys to visit Grandpa." "Okay," the kids nodded obediently.

"Alright, eat your breakfast now, you've got to go to school after that."

"Got it, Mommy."

After changing clothes, Sadie took the kids downstairs to catch the school bus.

Since Nathan's leg was still in a splint, the caregiversmedical team had to accompany him, which meant they would all return home together after school.

When Sadie got back home, she hesitated before calling Micah.

The line was busy.

Sadie knew he must be occupied, so she didn't disturb him further and decided to wait until he got back in the evening.

After tidying up the house and preparing some nourishing soup for Brenda, Sadie planned to take a short nap. It was then that Felipe suddenly called.

Faltering for a moment, Sadie still answered, "Hello?"

"Sadie, are you free to meet up?"

"I'm afraid that's not very convenient..."

Sadie didn't want to see them. Firstly, she felt it wasn't necessary, and secondly, she was worried they might misunderstand her actions regarding Leah's situation and seek revenge on her. "Rest assured, I absolutely don't intend to hurt you. I just want to ask you some things in person."

"I've told the police everything that needs to be said. You should ask them directly."

"Give me the phone." At that moment, Kathleen's voice came over the line, her efforts evident in calming her agitated emotions and maintaining a steady tone.as she tried to calm her agitated emotions and keep her tone steady, "Sadie, it's okay if you don't want to see me. I just have a few questions. You can answer them over the phone."

"Go ahead."

"I've already spoken to the police. I truly believe you. Despite how we treated you before, you never lashed out. I'm sure you wouldn't harm Leah now. And even if you wanted to, I don't think you're capable of doing anything harmful.Back then when we pushed you around and pressured you, you never retaliated. Surely, you wouldn't hurt Leah now. Besides, even if you had the inclination, you don't have the capacity to do something bad." "You really understand me, don't you?"

Sadie gave a bitter smile. If Leah had even half of Kathleen's sense, she wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.

"There are some things the police won't disclose, so I want to ask you. Who were the people you saw dragging Leah into the car? Did they harm Leah inside the vehicle?" Kathleen asked urgently.

"Well..."

Sadie was in a difficult position. She understood that the investigation was still ongoing and the police needed to protect the suspects' identities, so she couldn't divulge specific details. As a witness, she was probably not in a position to say much.

"It looks like the person pulling the strings is someone I know," deduced Kathleen smartly. Picking up on Sadie's hesitation and discomfort, she ventured a guess, "Is it Ronan?"

"No," Sadie immediately denied.

"Then it must be Arianna," Kathleen tried again.

Sadie paused for a few seconds. Before she could speak, Kathleen swiftly confirmed her own suspicion.Sadie paused for a few seconds, just about to speak, Kathleen quickly confirmed her own suspicion, "It is her, isn't it!" "I knew it was that vicious bwitch!"

"We've already given in so much, why can't she just let Leah be? Why does she have to make things worse?!"

"Keep calm..." Sadie hastily advised, "The investigation isn't over yet. Let's wait for the police to come up with their replaceings."

"Calm? How can you tell me to be calm?" Kathleen cried out in a low voice, "My daughter was gang-raped, leaving her body severely harmed and unable to bear children in the future. She now struggles with mental issues, and her life has been irreparably damaged.""My daughter was gang-raped, her body severely harmed, she can't bear children in the future, and she's now mentally disturbed; her life is ruined..."
