Both of them turned around and went out. They sat down on a bench outside the prison.
Eudora George hadn't seen Laura Westin for a long time. She looked much older ever since her son was imprisoned.
A lot of things had happened in the past, but now it seemed to matter very little. They could not help but sigh.
"Go ahead and ask. Don't keep me from meeting my

son.
At that, Eudora asked, "Do you know who Fae is?"
“Of course I know who she is!” Laura answered. “Fae is...” She paused for a moment and asked, “Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Well, you don't say it if you don't want to!" With those words, Eudora got up to leave.
Laura hurriedly grabbed her. She was really afraid that Eudora would make her son's life in the prison even more difficult.
“Fae was a friend of Felix’s and also his childhood sweetheart. They had a very good relationship when they were younger. I liked Fae very much so Fae’s parents and I made a decision. They would get married in the future when they were both older. Later on, when Fae was about seven or eight years old, she and her parents moved abroad, and never came back. Eudora was stunned. "What do you mean by never came back?"
Laura nodded. "She died. And I heard that she died in a horrible way. She was kidnapped by a psycho. She was imprisoned in a basement and she was abused for half a month. When she was finally rescued, she passed away."
Laura’s expression remained calm, but the fear in her eyes did not diminish.
However, the sound of a whip cracking suddenly resonated in her mind for no reason. Eudora subconsciously closed her eyes and placed her hand over her beating heart.
Recently, she seemed to think of this scene often.
"So... do I know Fae?" Eudora asked.
Laura shook her head. "How would I know?"
Laura didn't know? Then why did Felix say that she had killed Fae?
As the conversation ended, Eudora got up and was about to leave. Laura stopped her, "Can you tell Amos Granger to let our Felix go? After all, you were once Felix’s wife.
Eudora was surprised. "Did Felix ever see me as his wife?"
Laura went silent.
After Eudora left the prison, she quietly went back to the George Family. Gordon George was in the yard, basking in the sun. He was very surprised when he saw her.
"Eudora, you’re back?" Eudora glanced at him. It hadn't been long since she last saw him, but now he was sitting in a wheelchair.
Seeing her glance at the wheelchair, Gordon said, "It's just a small matter, don’t worry about it."
"I'm not worried." Eudora began awkwardly, before asking, "I want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Have I ever been to the United States when I was a child?"
Hearing this, Gordon was stunned and said hurriedly, "No."
"Really?" Eudora was suspicious. She felt that Gordon's demeanour had suddenly turned strange.
"Of course not!" This time, Gordon spoke with certainty, "Why are you asking this? Who told you that?"
"No one." Eudora said, "I'm going upstairs to see Mom."
Although Eudora's mother had passed away, Gordon wasn't that ruthless to rid everything of hers. He still kept her former room in the house.
As Eudora pushed the door of the room open, she recalled the times when she was a child. Whenever she was tired of playing in the garden, she would walk barefoot upstairs, after stepping in mud and water. Her father would be scolding her as he followed after her.
"My little princess..."
And her mother would come towards her from the room with a displeased look on her face. Seeing her feet, she would frown.
