"Are you telling me you've been KIDNAPPED?!" Isabella screams, nearly losing her temper. She doesn't know where to direct her shock—at those guyes or at her brother-in-law, Henry. She grips the steering wheel tightly. "I'm just taking you home! God knows how your parents are—" She glances at Elizabeth in the rearview mirror, then continues hesitantly, "And you too, Liz. I'll take you first! We need to get this eye checked." A powerful feeling stirs within her as she looks into her niece's cold eyes. Elizabeth hasn't replied yet... In fact...
She remained silent throughout the journey, amidst Emma and Lucas's voices. Some of them would genuinely worry their parents, while others actually suspected that someone was looking for him..yeah itis Lucas .
"I don't even think my parents have noticed my disappearance," he whispers sarcastically. He doesn't seem to care, but rather seems bored as he lean back. On the opposite side, Emma agrees with aunt Isabella as if she remembered something important. "Yes, yes, I must talk to my parents" Here, Isabella hands her phone to her to talk, her eyes wandering over the young girl sitting among them in a quietness that is almost new even to her.
The cold air grew colder, and only a few minutes passed before the car stopped at the first house, "Auntie's house," which had a simple and quiet appearance. Before she turned to Elizabeth, she said, "Come on then!" The girl didn't move at all, and the few seconds of quiet conversation between her friend turned into silence. Everyone was now looking at her, some with surprise from her friend and others with curiosity...
"You're going to the police station, aren't you?" she finally asks, and before her aunt can say another word, she continues, "It's my father, __right?" No regret, no fear, no pity. There's only Frederick's voice playing in the young girl's mind like a radio: 'Why was your father so stupid as to get involved with us?'
She shifted forward, clinging to the armrest of a seat, and said more quietly as Isabella's eyes fixed in amazement on the features that began to form on the face of her dearest loved one before she finally said, "I must go with you!"
"I'm definitely going with you!!" Lucas jumps up with a triumphant smile, his curiosity killing him, while Emma seems frozen in place, her jaw partially dropped. Her mother's voice is still audible on the phone, "Honey? Are you there? Hello?"
"What's going on there?!"
