"Alright, I'm kidding. Let's get down to business." Elias put his hands in the pockets and looked at her seriously, "Amber, do you have any idea about the red mole on your left wrist?"
"Should I have?" Amber was puzzled.
Elias's glasses glowed with light. "The attacker aims to remove the red mole."
"What?" Amber was stunned, "remove the red mole?"
"Yes, you can't see the wound on your wrist, but I can. It's a round mark, a little bigger than the red mole. So, I suspect that she knocked you out for the red mole."
"Really?" Amber's right hand brushed the bandage on her left wrist.
Elias walked over, "That's why I'm asking you about the red mole, or does it represent something?"
Amber's eyes were blank and confused. She shook her head no and responded, "I have no idea. I was born with this red mole. What can it represent?"
Amber didn't know anything even she owned the red mole in her lifetime.
And why did she hate a red mole? It was just a mole, right?
"Well, the red mole seems to have a lot of secrets, and you don't even know that. But I'm sure about one thing," Elias rubbed his chin and spoke, "It might be a threat to someone."
This was a conclusion based on psychological analysis.
Otherwise, he could not explain why someone wanted to remove a red mole.
"Threat…" Amber ducked her head and ironically repeated this word.
Can it be more ironic? She didn't even know she would have another enemy.
And she felt her existence almost threatened everyone, like Makenna and this woman.
Makenna wanted to kill Amber to win Jared back. Amber could understand that.
But now, even her mole had become a threat to others.
What will come next time, hair? Or is it the dead skin on her body?
Elias adjusted the bed height for her as he noticed Amber's exhaustion. "Let's look on the bright side. The woman did not come for your life; otherwise, it would be better to kill you, right? But she just removed your mole. I think she won't do anything as she had removed the threat. Let's wait until we catch the person. Well, you're a patient suffering from a concussion, so you need some sleep now. Otherwise, you might feel sick."
Amber nodded her head in response, "I know. Thanks."
She already started to feel nauseous and vomiting, and her head was spinning.
Amber closed her eyes. Her head tilted slightly to the side and soon fell asleep.
Elias listened to her steady breathing, turned around to leave.
North of the city, the urban village.
Some elders whispered under a big tree as the police officers and the bodyguards in black arrived.
"Look, there's another group of people. What do they want?"
"I don't know, but there are police officers. I guess we might have a criminal here."
"Is it Bob? I heard that last night his wife was in the hospital again. Bob beat her so hard."
"I don't think so. Arresting Bob doesn't need so many people. A few police officers will be enough. But they have a gang of bodyguards here too! So, my guess is, we have a fugitive in the village."
…
The crowd kept murmuring.
A black Mercedes-Benz pulled over at the roadside nearby. Makayla looked through the car window at those police officers and bodyguards.
The driver turned his head and asked in confusion, "Miss Gardner, aren't you getting off?"
