My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1283

He handed me the black tie in his hand. The meaning was obvious. He wanted me to tie it for him. "I'll worry about you if you're here alone. You come with me. Dahlia has just been released from the police station. You're not safe!"

I was confused. "She almost killed me. Why did they let her out after just one night? Is there no justice?"

He pursed his lips and said, "There's no substantial action, so it's impossible to determine the actual crime. She would be released after 12 hours."

I almost spit out a mouthful of blood. What did he mean by no substantial action? "There was a murder attempt, and the police were all at the scene of crime at that time. How can they say that there was no evidence? Are they waiting for someone to turn up dead before arresting her?"

Every time I thought about the hospital and that time where I was almost frozen to death, I couldn't contain my anger. All of these past incidents were evidence of her crimes.

Hendrix held my hand in his. His hands were warm. He took my trembling hand and said, "She found someone at the police station and was bailed out. When my people arrived, it was already too late."

"Who bailed her out?" Wasn't her hometown in a small county? Tina said that Dahlia had no friends in the city. Who could have bailed her out?

"Oscar Hathaway!" Hendrix pulled me downstairs and asked me to wait for him on the side of the road. He went to reverse the car out.

Oscar? Linda's ex-husband, Oscar?
