After Elaine returned to the detention center from the police station for questioning, she was extremely anxious and restless while waiting for the results.
She had no idea if the police would release her, so she prayed and prayed wholeheartedly. 7
In the two days since being locked up in the detention center, she had suffered the torment that she had never experienced in her life. She was on the verge of collapsing right now. She feared that she would die here if they didn't release her. 6
Lady Wilson was in jitters when she knew that Elaine was called to the police station for questioning this morning. She was worried that Elaine would confess t o the officer about the bullying she had suffered in the cell by her and Jennifer. 4
She was also worried that Elaine would apply for a cell change.
If the officer took her away, her greatest and only pleasure in the detention center would be gone! s
For so long, Lady Wilson was down in the dumps because of the misfortune and tribulations that stumbled upon the Wilson family. The sorrow persisted until Elaine was locked up in the same cell with her that she regained the joy and beauty of life. 6
She grinned delightfully at the thought of her being
released in ten days while Elaine might have to be jailed for more than ten or twenty years. 5
Elaine curled up in the corner of the cell as soon as she returned. Lady Wilson approached Elaine and asked in amusement, "Hey, I heard you were called to the station for questioning?" 5
Elaine looked at her and said, her voice shaky, "Yes, Mom, they wanted to ask me something."
Lady Wilson asked coldly, "Did you blabber then? Did you complain to them?"
Elaine shook her head with fright and said, "No, Mom! Don't worry, I didn’t tell them anything that happened i n the cell. They asked me about the case, that's all."
