Elizabeth got out of the taxi and looked at the remote and deserted place, frowning subconsciously.
No one would like this kind of place, and she was no exception.
However, she had come here after making lots of effort. If she left, she would have done everything in vain.
After signing the register, Elizabeth was taken to a small house. She thanked the people who brought her here, and then sat in the chair and waited for Zena quietly.
In fact, Elizabeth's heart was very calm. Yeah, she came here just because of Jodie. Zena's business had nothing to do with her. There was no complicated feeling in her heart, as if what she was going to meet was just a stranger who had nothing to do with her.
However, in the late autumn, the weather had become very cold. In the prison, it seemed to be colder than outside.
She held her arms, trying not to warm herself a bit. Lowering her head, she looked at the ground in a trance.
After waiting for about five minutes, she heard someone knocking on the glass in front of her, and the sound was not very loud.
Elizabeth looked up and was immediately shocked. She looked at Zena, who was sitting opposite her behind the glass, and her body froze for a moment.
Zena was once a good-looking and capable woman, and she used to be so charming and beautiful. However, at this time, she was wearing a unique dark blue uniform with her number. Her long and curly hair had been cut off a lot and fell over her shoulders.
What surprised Elizabeth the most was the color of Zena's hair. The hair at her temples, and the large area of hair on her forehead was all white as if they had been dyed.
Although her hair wasn't completely white, it made Zena look much older. Her face was old and haggard, and the hair made her look a bit ridiculous.
But... Elizabeth couldn't laugh.
She used to watch a TV program. The heroine's hair became completely white in a night, and she thought it was a little exaggerated. But when she looked at Zena who sat opposite her, she realized that such a thing did happen.
Although she didn't know when Zena's hair turned white, it must have turned white a few days ago. So... Zena's parents had seen her like this, right?
At this very moment, she finally understood why Jodie had spent so much time and effort looking for her and begging her to see Zena...
Elizabeth sat there stiffly, and she was a maelstrom of churning emotions inside.
She saw that Zena smiled at her. Although the smile was very shallow, she saw it.
Zena picked up the microphone hanging on the wall. Seeing that Elizabeth was still sitting there, she raised her hand to knock on the glass, and then pointed to the microphone beside Elizabeth, indicating her to get it.
Elizabeth took the microphone and put it to her ear, and then she heard Zena say.
"You're here?"
Her tone was light, and it was no longer arrogant or happy, which made Elizabeth feel unfamiliar and unaccustomed.
Elizabeth bit her lip. She looked at Zena and nodded slightly, "Yeah."
Zena gave her a faint smile, "I didn't expect you to come here."
Elizabeth fell silent.
