She quickly pulled her hand back and hummed in response.
The police arrived soon after.

They interrogated Anneliese about what had happened and took statements from both her and Jonathan.
Patrick Walen, the detective handling the case, promised a thorough investigation before leaving with his team.
Not long after, Zion came by with a new phone.
As expected of a highly capable assistant, he had even transferred Anneliese’s SIM card from her old device.
Anneliese thanked him repeatedly and insisted she could be discharged on her own.
Eventually, Jonathan left with Zion.
Aside from the bruises across her waist and abdomen from Jameson’s attack, Anneliese was fine.
She carried the shopping bag into the bathroom and, upon taking out its contents, realized there was underwear inside as well.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, she couldn’t say.
But the sizes of both the clothes and the underwear fit her perfectly.
Anneliese refused to read too much into it.
When she came out of the bathroom, she powered on her phone.
A string of notifications chimed one after another.
She picked it up and saw that a strange number had called her more than twenty times.
Her instincts told her it was Zacharias.
She felt nothing at all, and with a swipe, she blocked the number decisively.
She then changed her emergency contact to Jessica before checking WhatsApp.

At the very top was her chat log with Selina.
When she tapped on it, she found over a dozen photos from a birthday party.

‘Anne, I just found out that Zach books out the big screen at Spectra Square every year for my birthday! Please thank him for me, will you?‘
One of the photos showed Selina with her family, posing in front of the massive screen lit up with fireworks.
She smiled at the camera while shooting mini hearts.
Anneliese was reminded of her birthday when Zacharias once booked thergest outdoor screen in Oceaton, making a spectacle of celebrating her birthday.
Back then, she cried happy tears.
But as it turned out, Zacharias had long been spendingvishly on his lover, stering her face on giant screens at famousndmarks.
He never failed to disappoint her.
Anneliese exited the chat without much thought, no longer caring about what Zacharias did.
She even hoped Selina would cling to him, dying his return until the cooling–off period of their divorce was over.
As she left the hospital, Anneliese eyed her new autumn outfit and decided to stop by the mall.
She wanted to buy Jonathan a suit as a token of appreciation.
What she hadn’t expected was to run into Jackie there, who was out shopping with his girlfriend.
Meanwhile, Zacharias got off the ne and hurried out through the VIP passage.
He called Jackie, his voice urgent. “Where’s my wife?”
Before boarding, he had already asked Jackie to check on Anneliese.
However, Jackie hadn’t listened to the man’s orders at all.
Where else would she be, if not waiting for Zacharias at their vi in Sunrise Residence?

Jackie’s girlfriend had been threatening to break up with him, <i>so </i>all his free time went into coaxing her.
Now that Zacharias was asking about Anneliese, he was caught off guard.
Thankfully, he was unusually lucky today–he had just run into Anneliese shopping for a suit.
He quickly reported, “Mr. Shaw, your wife is on a shopping spree. She’s even picking out a suit and tie for you.”
“Really?”
Zacharias slowed down, and the furrow in his brows disappeared.
“I’ll send you a photo right now.”
Jackie immediately snapped a picture of Anneliese inside the store and sent it over.
When Zacharias opened it, he saw Anneliese with her head slightly lowered.
She was elegant as ever whileparing two different ties.
Her lips carried a gentle, captivating smile, and she didn’t seem angry at all.
It turned out she was simply ying hard to get with him.
Afraid of pushing it <i>too </i>far, she had even gone ahead and prepared a gift for him.
This time, she almost had him fooled.
“You’re finally back, Zacharias! I’ve missed you so much!”
Coral flew into his arms, the scent of her perfume strong.
Zacharias put down his phone, frowning as he stared at her.
“How did you know what time I’d be back?”
His gaze was sharp, his expression displeased.
There was no joy nor surprise on his face.

No man in his position liked having his movements carelessly exposed.
At once, Coral went pale in the face.

As tears welled
up in her eyes, she whispered timidly, “While you were on the phone with Mr. Septian yesterday, I happened to overhear your conversation.
“I’ve missed you dearly, Zacharias, and I thought of surprising you here. Could you not be angry at me?”
