Chapter 661


    Even when she was further away, Alice''s sobs and wails still rang in her ears...


    Amelia then lowered her gaze to the floor, shut out her thoughts and continued walking.


    At the police station.


    In the reception room, a young policeman was on duty and holding up his head with one hand,


    staring at the surveince monitors in the office while half dozing off.


    Right then, a lithe and graceful figure drifted into his sight.


    The policeman widened his eyes at once when the beauty by the door smiled and gave him her


    attention. He thought, "Am I seeing a pretty ghost in the middle of the night?"


    "Miss?"


    Watching the young officer as he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, Amelia chuckled and


    said, "Can I ask if your leader is here?"


    The officer then scratched his head and said, "Chief? He left as soon as he got off work!" "Oh, then


    are there any other leaders around?" asked


    Amelia again.


    ''Ah... There''s one of them here, but he''s resting in his private room now. May I ask who are you?"


    After a few seconds of fumbling around, the officer finally remembered to ask about Amelia''s


    identity.


    Amelia brushed through her hair lightly with her fingers and said gently, "I''m Daniel Phillip''s rtive.


    I want to bring him away to attend to something for the time being."


    "What? Bring Daniel away?" The officer sprung up from his seat and stared at Amelia with


    unspeakable horror in his eyes.


    Amelia was confused at the sight of his exaggerated reaction. "Yes, why?"


    The policeman put up an act by adjusting the things on his desk as he tried to calm himself down


    and asked, "Excuse me... May I know what''s your name?"


    "Myst name is Ramsay."


    "Ramsay?" The policeman looked at her in awe, "Are you Daniel''s lover?"


    Amelia shook her head. "No, I''m her sister." After a pause, she then continued, "Young man, can


    you please call that leader of yours and let us go this one time? I need Daniel for something


    extremely important!"


    To which the officer replied, "But his temper is


    horrible..."


    Amelia continued, "It doesn''t matter. You just need to make the call and pass the phone to me, I''ll


    talk to him."


    "I..." The officer hesitated as if he was finding it hard to exin himself.


    Amelia was afraid of wasting too much time, so she softened her tone and coaxed the policeman,


    "Young man, police serves people. You don''t have the heart to refuse me when the task is so easy,


    will you?"


    The policeman gritted his teeth and said, "Ms. Ramsay, I do want to help you, but the leader has


    ordered not to bother him with more tasks after he gets off work!"


    Amelia added, "A life depends on the phone call. Officer, please help me. If your leader is angry, I''ll


    bear the responsibility. I won''t burden you!"


    After a long while of pondering, the policeman still refused to make the call.


    Just when Amelia was about to spiral into a pit of helplessness, a slightly older policeman walked


    into the reception room. ncing at Amelia''s back, he said to the younger policeman, "It''s time for


    the next shift." "Okay! Then I''ll get off work first, see you tomorrow." As soon as the policeman


    finished speaking, he hurriedly bowed his head towards the ground and left.


    "Very well, boy. She''s your girlfriend, right?" The older officer immediately regretted what he said the


    moment the words left his mouth.


    Because at the same time, Amelia had turned her head to look at him, her face looking charming


    and familiar.


    "What are you talking about!" Hearing his senior''s joke, the young policeman did not have time to


    care about courtesy and yelled, "This is Ms. Ramsay, who hade to see her rtive. She''s not


    my girlfriend!"


    "Alright!" The older officer reached out and gave the younger officer a light shove. He said, "You go


    and take a rest, leave this to me!"


    The younger policeman then left quickly as if relieved of a heavy burden.


    "Have we met before" Amelia, who stayed behind, stretched out a hand to him.


    "Yes..." The office straightened the brim of his hat and shook Amelia''s hand with some shame.


    Then, he released Amelia''s hand in haste and said, "Thest time we met, I forgot to introduce


    myself for I was in a rush because of official business. My name is Sean Lewis. And Ms. Ramsay,


    you can just call me


    Sean. Also, I was joking with my colleague just now, I hope you don''t mind!"


    This Officer Lewis, was one of the two policemen who went to The Ramsay Family to arrest Daniel


    that day.


    When Amelia realized that it was him, she was delighted. "It''s okay. I know you didn''t mean it."


    Sean finally rxed, then asked with a smile, "By the way, my colleague said you''re here to look for


    a rtive. May I ask which rtive of yours is working at our police station?"


    "No." Amelia shook her head. "I''m here for Daniel Phillips. Something happened to my little sister,


    and he must settle it as the head of the family.


    Officer Lewis, can you help me contact your...leader?"


    The smile on Sean''s face froze the moment he heard Daniel''s name. "I''m so sorry, Ms. Ramsay. I''ll


    do my best to help out with any of your requests, but I really can''t do anything about this."


    "Why?" Amelia frowned. Then she remembered about something and hinted at him, "What if I ask


    you... to mediate the situation?"


    Mediarte?


    That sounded interesting.


    Any ordinary man with the tiniest hint of ill intention in them was probably associating her words with


    the very much beloved money.


    However, Sean only said, "Ms. Ramsay, I really can''t help you!"


    Amelia took a step back and pleaded for second best, "Then can I just see Daniel? Let me exin


    to him about his family''s situation."


    Sean had a bitter look on his face. "Ms. Ramsay, please don''t make my job more difficult than it


    already is, okay?"


    Amelia paused for a moment. "Officer Lewis, please be reasonable. I have the right to visit him."


    Sean heaved a long sigh. "To be honest with you, Daniel isn''t at this police station right now..."


    Amelia was stunned. She then burst intoughter and said, "Since Daniel isn''t in the police station,


    why can''t you acquit him of his charges?"

    Although Amelia was joking around, Sean showed to feel ill at ease.


    Sean clenched his jaw. "Not long after Daniel was brought to the police station, he was diagnosed


    with tuberculosis. He was then sent to the hospital in secret these two days. But as for which


    hospital he''s in, only the chief knows. Everyone else, including me and our leader, has no idea


    where he is."


    Sean''s words hadpletely cut short of Amelia''s iing question.


    With a deep sense of confusion, she asked, "How did Daniel end up having tuberculosis?"


    "You''re right, I''m puzzled too!" Sean scowled in deep thought.


    Amelia did not care whether or not Daniel was dead or alive. But because of this, she would not be


    able to aplish the task that Brittany had asked of her.
