Veronica drove herself, following sneakily to the police station.
The police station.
The officer handed the lost items to Ellinor, saying, "Please confirm whether these are your lost phone and wallet, and check if anything else is missing."
Ellinor was very cooperative, opened the wallet to check, then looked at the usage records on the phone, and confirmed, "They're mine, nothing's missing."
The officer nodded solemnly, "Sign here and you can take them away. Remember, be careful in the future. If you lose something again, it might not be so easy to recover like today."
Ellinor took the advice, smiling politely, "Yes, I'll be more careful in the future, thank you, officer!"
At this time, Marissa stood next to her, like a cultured and kind elder, thanking the officers with Ellinor, and praising their dedication to their job.
Theo, with his tall figure, stood not far away. He just hung up the phone, put away his mobile, and squinted at the harmonious scene of Ellinor and her grandmother.
Things went smoothly, and Ellinor got her lost items back. She held Marissa and discussed what they should have for dinner while walking out.
"Grandma, what do you want to eat?" Ellinor asked.
"I can eat anything, Ellinor, whatever you want to eat, I'll accompany you!" Marissa answered.
Ellinor turned to ask Theo, "What would you like to eat? It’s on me!"
Theo raised his eyebrows, smiling, "Really? Can I choose something I like?"
