My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 224

Celine didn't know how long she had waited there, but she was glad when someone suddenly came in. But to her disappointment, it wasn't the one she was expecting.

A policewoman brought her a bottle of water.

Celine took it and thanked her in a low voice. The policewoman replied softly, "You're welcome."

When the policewoman was about to leave, Celine stood up in a hurry and stopped her, "Wait!"

The policewoman, who was already holding the doorknob, stopped and turned to look at her. "Any problem?" she asked doubtfully.

Celine licked her dry lips first before she asked, "When can I go home?"

The policewoman smiled and replied, "My senior will be here at any minute. He has something to ask you."

"Something to ask me?" Celine repeated nervously. Her face turned pale in an instant. She grasped the bottle with both hands tightly and said, "I've already told you everything. I swear." The policewoman raised an eyebrow and replied, "It is a normal procedure. You have nothing to fear." What the policewoman had said was just natural, but for Celine, it sounded harsh. She even felt that she was mocking her.

Her cheeks flushed. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out of her mouth.

The policewoman thought that she had nothing more to say, so she turned to open the door. However, Celine called her again.

She took a few steps forward to get near the policewoman and asked in a panicky voice, "Wait. Is the man who came with me still there?" She was referring to Jack.

"Who? I'll ask my colleagues."

The policewoman's words made Celine's heart sink, but she still managed to say, "Thank you."

When Rachel called Howard, she wasn't able to get much information from him. Apparently, he wasn't quite sure what had really happened.

Rachel was so anxious, so she immediately asked where Jack was.

Howard told her which police station Jack went.

Rachel was puzzled. She couldn't understand why Jack had to go to the police station. But since she was so worried about him, she borrowed some money from Andy and hurriedly went downstairs to take a taxi.

Andy offered to call his driver to pick Rachel up. It was already late at night, so he was worried about her safety.

But Rachel couldn't wait any longer, so she refused his offer politely.

Since she refused his offer, Andy gave his phone to Rachel so she could use it in case of emergency.

Rachel accepted it and rushed to the door. Before she could leave, Andy said, "Don't worry too much. I will ask what happened at the banquet, then I will call you if I find some useful information." He pointed at the phone in Rachel's hand.

Rachel thanked him again and left.

Actually, Andy was thinking about something else. He was beside Rachel when she was talking to Howard, and he heard that Howard was apparently avoiding some questions.

He wondered why Howard was so hesitant to answer Rachel's questions. Perhaps there were things that he couldn't tell her.

Andy snorted upon thinking about it. To clarify things, he called the villa to ask what really happened during the banquet.

Rachel was able to hail a taxi immediately the moment she walked out of the hospital. When she seated, the driver looked at her for a while before asking, "Where are you going, miss?"

She told him the address of the police station.

The taxi driver was stunned for a moment, but then answered, "Okay." While he was driving, he couldn't help wondering what happened to his passenger.

Rachel came from a banquet, so she was wearing something eye-catching. And she took a taxi from the hospital going to the police station, so the driver got more curious. He couldn't help asking, "What happened to you, miss? Is there an emergency? I can drive faster if you want."

Rachel was surprised by the driver's words, but she still answered, "It's okay. Just maintain that speed. Thank you."

"Alright." The driver drove smoothly in the traffic.

Rachel quietly looked out of the window and watched the view outside, her face looked solemn. Maybe the driver was too bored, or he was really curious about her, so he asked again, "Miss, it's already late at night. Why are you going to the police station?"

"I have something to deal with," she replied. She lowered her head and played with Andy's cellphone. Feeling a little uneasy, she was not in the mood to talk with the driver.

Perhaps the driver noticed her mood, so he embarrassingly stopped asking more questions. Since it was already late at night, there was no traffic jam. They also didn't meet any red lights, so the taxi went very fast. It only took them ten minutes to reach the police station.

The driver turned to look at her and said, "We're almost there, miss."

Rachel nodded and looked out of the window again. She realized that she didn't know where they were, so she requested to the driver, "Can you take me directly to the gate of the station?"

"Sure, no problem."

Suddenly, the phone in Rachel's hand vibrated. She looked at the screen and found out it was an unregistered number.

Rachel hesitated to answer it. After all, it wasn't her phone.

She contemplated for a while before she decided to answer it.
