Hilda is truly merciless towards me.
I have thought of her request for a long time.
It's not surprising that Hilda wants me to die.
If I can save Penelope, I am willing to sacrifice my life.
But at the very least, I need to know that Penelope is safe and sound.
"I can agree to your request, but you have to let me see Penelope. I won't do anything for you until I'm sure she's fine. Hilda, you'd better not play any tricks. Otherwise I won't let you off."
I say coldly to Hilda.
On the other end of the phone comes Hilda's laughter.
"Why are you laughing?"
I ask her, puzzled.
"Do you really think that your child is in my hands? Jane, you are really naive since you believe me so easily. However, you've reminded me that if I want to deal with you, I can just start dealing with the people around you."
Hilda's words irritate me.
However, I can sense that she doesn't seem to have done this.
Do I have a wrong guess?
However, who else could it be except Hilda?
"Hilda, what do you mean? Didn't you do this?" I feel doubtful.
"Of course not. How can you understand? I will definitely admit it as long as I've done it. Don't call me for such a boring reason next time. You're only reminding me that I should find an opportunity to attack you."
After Hilda finishes speaking, she hangs up the phone and doesn't allow me to continue asking.
She's so resolute that I begin to believe she hasn't done it.
