Chapter 662


    Under Amelia''splex expression, Sean rubbed his hands together and discussed in a pleasant


    tone, "Ms. Ramsay, the public still doesn''t know about this. I''ve just leaked to you an internal secret,


    I hope you won''t mention anything about it after you leave. Otherwise, others will use us of


    abusing the criminals in the police station."


    Amelia lowered her eyshes and replied softly, "I know. Thank you, Officer Lewis."


    "You''re wee. I didn''t really help you with much," said Sean in embarrassment.


    Amelia nodded then said, "Then, Officer Lewis, I''ll get going now. Goodbye!"


    Frustration crossed her eyes the moments she turned around to leave. She wanted to help Brittany,


    but Daniel''s illness was just so untimely.


    Tuberculosis was infectious. And with Daniel''s current state, even if she found the hospital he was


    in, she would not be able to convince the doctors to let him out of the quarantine ward.


    When Amelia disappeared through the door, Sean immediately picked up thendline on his office


    desk and dialled a number.


    Sean waited for quite a while in the silence of the night before he finally heard a sleepy cry from the


    other side, "Hello?"


    Sean did not waste any time and got straight to the point. "Chief, just now Daniel''s sister came by


    our ce and asked to meet him..."


    "Meet Daniel?" The chief''s sluggish voice immediately turned serious. "Then did you tell her that


    Daniel was infected with tuberculosis?"


    "I did, she then told me she understood and left."


    "Before she left, did she ask about anything else?


    Like, which hospital is Daniel in right now?"


    "No, even if she asked me, I really have no clue about it."


    "That''s great! If anyone else asks about Daniel in the future, tell the same thing to them!"


    "Noted, Chief!"


    "You''ve done a good job, Sean!"


    "Thank you for yourpliment!" Sean was ted. Then he added, "It''s gettingte now. I won''t


    disturb you any longer. We''ll end it here first?"


    "Okay, then I''ll hang up!"


    In the outskirts of Northville, in an independent vi.


    Ding... Ding...


    The phone on the bedside table rang, breaking the silence of the night and disturbing the handsome


    man who was next to a woman from his sleep.


    Sitting up from the bed, the man reached out his hand to turn on the bedsidemp in the dark, then


    found his sses beside the pillow and put it on.


    Looking back at the woman lying beside him, she was not even stirred by her cell phone ringing.


    Raising his hand, he put one hand on the woman''s arm, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Ms.


    Long, your phone is ringing."


    The man''s voice seemed to have some magical power in it, because after calling out to her twice,


    Sarah shifted in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes...


    Seeing the man''s face was only inches away from hers, she shed azy smile and could not help


    but reach out to put her arms around his neck, taking the initiative to send a passionate kiss his


    way.


    At the sight of Sarah pushing herself up to embrace him, the look in the man''s eyes behind the


    spectacles flickered.


    In the next second, he bowed his head and lightly pecked on her red lips. Then, he tried to say in a


    doting tone, "Pick up your phone first. I don''t like to be interrupted by noise when I kiss."


    "Okay, me too," agreed Sarah. She then stretched one hand out and felt around the surface of the


    bedside table next to her for the phone.


    She picked up the call without even looking at it and scolded in extreme impatience, "What is your


    problem? Why are you calling me at this time!"


    "Ms. Long, it''s me. I''m Johnathan Quarles from the Police Station."


    Sarah was taken aback by the new information and quickly softened her tone, asking delicately,


    "Oh, it''s Chief Quarles... I''m sorry, I was sleeping just now and didn''t pay attention to the caller ID


    when I picked up my phone. Ahem, do you have something to tell me? I''m listening..."


    While Sarah talked on the phone, the gentleman beside her adjusted his sses and leaned agaist


    the head of the bed in silence.


    "It''s like this..." Johnathan did not take offence from Sarah''s rude greeting and instead exined to


    her the purpose of his call.


    Sarah sneered after hearing him. "Okay... I know now. Thank you for telling me, Chief Quarles..."


    Johnathan then asked cautiously, "The woman introduced herself as Daniel''s sister, but to my


    knowledge, Daniel has only one younger brother. So, she must be Daniel''s sister-inw, right? This


    woman has The Hopper Family supporting her behind her back, and if she investigates into Daniel''s


    illness, I''m afraid that it''s only a matter of time before the truth is revealed..."


    Sarah dipped her head and twiddled at her fingernails with her thumb. She then said casually,


    "We''ve agreed that we''ll first use the excuse of the disease to dy the matter first. But if the truth


    leaks out, I''ll send him back to you. As for the authenticity of the illness, won''t it be done with if I ask


    a doctor to forge a report for me?"


    Johnathan said earnestly, "Anyway, I''ve informed you of the situation at hand now. As for how you


    want to proceed with this, you can do whatever you want, as long as you know what you''re doing.


    Don''t me me for not telling you if something goes awryter."


    Sarah giggled faintly and said nonchntly, "Of course, I appreciate your kindness. When you''re


    free, I''ll definitely make a personal visit to your ce."


    Then, she said a few more words of ttery until Johnathan hung up the phone. Sarah lowered her


    phone from her ear and stared at the man next to her, who waspletely oblivious to the current


    situation, "Daniel!"

    Faced with Sarah''s sudden change in demeanor, Daniel scowled.


    Noticing his silence, Sarah raised her chin and asked aggressively, "How dare you, Daniel! Did you


    pull


    some trick behind my back and was found out by someone?"


    Ayer of confusion appeared in Daniel''s eyes. He replied with the same deep calmness, "Ms.


    Long, ever since you brought me out of the police station, I''ve been living under you and your


    security guards'' noses. I can''t eveny my hands on a single phone,ndline, orputer. So tell


    me, do you think I can do anything behind your back?"


    Sarah''s stern expression eased up at once.


    She was deliberately trying to scare Daniel just now. If he had the tiniest sliver of a guilty


    conscience, he would have no doubt confessed everything to her at once.


    However, other than his initial cluelessness, Daniel remained rtivelyposed. The logic behind


    his words was clear too, which was enough to exclude the possibility that he was pulling her leg.


    Daniel looked at Ms. Long as he asked, "What happened? Why do you look so shocked?"


    Her grip around her phone tightened, then she said in a low voice, "Do you know who just called


    me?"


    Daniel''s gaze swept across Sarah''s phone screen. "I heard you call him ''Chief Quarles''."


    Sarah nodded. "Yes! It was him! He told me that a woman, which is your wife''s half-sister, suddenly


    came to the police station and said that she wanted to see you and take you away! Don''t you find it


    strange?"
