Going back in time.
"Dad, Oliver!" As soon as they drove out of the danger zone, Serenity could no longer suppress her inner exhilaration and pounced into George Wright's arms.
George chuckled and patted her on the back, "What happened? Were you terrified?"
Serenity silently wiped her tears on George's shoulder. "I knew that the corpses were not Dad and Oliver, but I just couldn't rest assured before I saw you in person."
"Don't worry, we won't go down that easily," George said with a smile.
"Julian, what happened to Susie?" Oliver saw Susan who was still in Julian's arms, and a hint of trepidation flashed through his eyes.
Julian gazed down at Susan who was pallid. "So Susie, do you feel like eating now?"
Susan had not eaten in days to protest against him. However, in order to prevent Joseph and the others from picking up clues, he dared not tell the truth.
Up till that moment, they were considered completely safe.
Susan looked at George and Oliver who were still intact. She lifted the corners of her mouth and gave off a weak smile, then murmured in her hoarse voice,"
I could eat a horse now."
Having learned that Susan had been on a hunger strike, George and the others panicked and got the servants to prepare something.
Soon, a warm porridge was delivered to the room.
Julian blew the warm porridge attentively, and then carefully fed it into Susan's mouth.
George and the others were all watching nervously at the side.
Susan took a mouthful after a mouthful.
The bowl of porridge vanished in just minutes.
When Julian was about to go and refill the bowl, Susan held on to his hand.
"Yes?" Julian glanced at her.
"Julian." Susan’s pale face had regained some slight complexion. "I’m sorry."
"Why sorry?" Julian did not get that.
Susan nibbled her lower lip. "I-I-I shouldn't have doubted you."
Susan’s cheeks blushed due to the embarrassment.
Julian rubbed her hair and gave her a fond gaze." Susie, what you suspected was not wrong. If it weren't for the solution that came later, I would have done just about anything for you."
Julian's eyes looked sincere and Susan knew that he was telling the truth.
