Having a sleepless night in the police station wasn’t a big deal to me. However, my emotions erupted once I saw Christopher, and tears streamed down my face.
After crying for a while, Christopher wiped away my tears and said gently, “I’m here to pick you up and go home. Don’t worry. Everything has been solved.”
Given Christopher’s influence, I was sure that the police would release me sooner or later. Besides, he would have rescued me last night if I wasn’t that popular recently.
Besides tiredness and hunger, my heart hurt the most. “Chris, did Sharon see you yesterday?”
“She asked if I could get you out. When I said yes, she left in satisfaction.” Christopher was considerate and didn’t ask what happened between Sharon and me.
Sharon probably thought that I wouldn’t be in trouble. However, how can she ignore the consequences of that incident?
I chuckled, feeling that I was too naive to think Sharon would wait for me outside to explain it to me.
Christopher handed some breakfast over to me and held my hand to leave the police station. When we were leaving, the policewoman whispered, “She committed murder and should be found guilty by now. Why is she being released? I’m dissatisfied with it. If a criminal like her isn’t punished…”
“Christopher, I felt that I’m like a type of animal now.” I gazed at Christopher and pointed at my face. “Do I look like a rat?”
I’m a rat that everyone hates!
Christopher knocked on my head gently and replied, “If you’re a rat, I’m a rat as well. Well, being mice means that we are fertile. In that case, we can have a nest of baby mice.”
