Chapter 639
After calming down, Mrs. Ritter immediately picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Don''t kill him.
Just torture him! Make sure he suffer!"
The person on the other end said something that made Mrs. Ritter explode in anger. "Do you not want
your job anymore? Do you not want your daughter to go to film school?"
The sheriff could only nod and promise, "Okay, okay, Mrs. Ritter. Don''t worry. I''ll take care of it."
After hanging up the phone, the sheriff put on a gloomy face.
"Is this old hag crazy? The Bet family is protecting Cody secretly. How dare I make a move?"
He sighed deeply and felt like he was in such a dilemma that he couldn''t offend anyone on either side.
He was just a sheriff after all. He might as well treat Mrs. Ritter''s words as if they were nothing. After
all,pared with Mrs. Ritter, the old Mr. Bet had more authority.
He weighed his options for a while before returning directly to his office.
Larro Detention Center.
Winter anxiously waited outside the visiting room and kept looking inside through the ss window until
two minutester when two prison guards brought rk over.
rk looked much haggard now with an aged face which carried both destion and gloominess.
He sat down behind the ss window and picked up the microphone.
When Winter saw him, she couldn''t help but feel heartbroken, but she restrained herself very well,
because she had many things she wanted to say.
However, at that moment, she didn''t know what exactly should be said.
"I''m in jail now. Have those people bothered you?"
rk spoke first; his voice sounded hoarse as if he were someone who had been traveling long
distances in desert sand dunes.
His eyes fixed tightly on Winter, carrying inexplicable greediness mixed with longing, as though she
were his source of water or medicine, without which he could not survive or breathe properly.
Only seeing her made him feel alive again!
"Not yet. Are you okay?" replied Winter, struggling hard to open her mouth while trying hard not to cry,
since rk must have been having tough times inside there!
"Not bad. I lead a quite leisure life. Food and drinks are avable. The meals are satisfying and I no
longer have to worry about the office politics. Life is much easier than before," rk said with a casual
tone.

There was a hint of sadness and helplessness in his delicate and handsome face.
"Ugh-" Suddenly, Winter covered her mouth and turned away, dry heaving for a moment.
rk looked at her in astonishment behind the ss, "What''s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Winter''s face turned a little pale. "I haven''t been feeling well in my stomach these past few days. It''s
nothing serious, so don''t worry."
They rarely talked so calmly like this. He used to be too dominant and overbearing.
He may even treat her very rudely sometimes.
But now he became different.
Winter took a deep breath and said, "It''s gettingte. I have to go back. I''lle see you another day."
"Winter." rk suddenly called out to her.
Winter was taken aback and stared at him with wide eyes. "rk, is there something else?"
"Winter, listen to me. Don''te to me again," rk''s gloomy eyes stared at her firmly. "I am an
ominous person. Don''te to see me."
"Don''t say that. The verdict hasn''t been announced yet. Maybe there''s still hope," Winter said, choking
back tears that were welling up in her eyes.
Actually, both of them know that there could never be a good oue.
But she still wanted to say that tofort rk.
"There''s no hope. You should leave Larro and find a quiet ce where no one knows you and live
well," rk said as he stood up and slowly walked away.
His hands were handcuffed and his feet were wrapped in shackles, making his steps appear extremely
heavy, and his back seemed to be stooping.
Winter stood still, and her tears finally burst out.
rk...
She wiped away the tears on her face and went straight to the hospital after leaving the detention
center.
An hourter, when she looked at the test results, she was both happy and sad.
She didn''t expect that she was pregnant again.
Why did fate have to y such a trick on her? After rk had an ident, she unexpectedly became
pregnant again.
She looked at the cloudy sky and made a bold decision.
Taking a deep breath, she got into the red Porsche and started the car.
The car shot out like an arrow and merged into the traffic flow.
Urgford Hospital.
Outside the window, heavy snowkes were falling silently, covering the earth.
Sylvia sat by the hospital bed, slicing an apple for the old Mr. Bet.
"Thank you for that call the other day. Without it, Cody might have suffered even more," she said.
She cut the apple into small pieces and ced them on a small te before offering it to the old Mr.
Bet.
