Despite Emmeline’s doubts, she wanted to see Janie regardless of whether or not the arrangement was fake.
Once Abel left the room, she reached for her phone and dialed the number that had sent her the text.
The call was immediately rejected.
A text came in right after. “Are you already in Falmouth, Em?”
She replied, “I got into an accident. At the hospital. Can’t meet up right now.”
“Are you okay?”
“A few scratches here and there. I’m fine.”
“Rest well. I’ll contact you again some other time.”
Emmeline frowned.
She felt strongly that the one texting her was not Janie!
Janie would’ve asked her which hospital she was at and scrambled over.
Whoever was texting her was indifferent and sounded not at all nervous or concerned.
Emmeline was still in a daze when Abel returned. He took her hand.
“Luca cooperated with traffic law enforcement to investigate the two vehicles that are under suspicion.”
She nodded in agreement.
“I also need the number you were in contact with. Luca will handle the rest.”
She looked at the number that sent the text messages and had Abel jot down the number now.
Abel dialed the number.
A phone suddenly started to ring.
Evelyn glanced at the incoming call and immediately felt like she had been bitten by a snake.
She tossed the phone aside.
“What’s wrong?” Alana asked as she picked it up.
A single glance at the familiar number flashing on the screen had Alana scrambling to hit the button to end the call.
