Annabelle smiled and looked at Ralphy.
Ralphy smiled back at her. The man pondered for a while and said, “All right, I will give you lawyer Lee’s phone number later!”
“Thank you, bro!” Annabelle cheered.
“Are right, let’s hurry and eat. It is rare for you to come home, you should eat more!” As Waynie said that, she helped Annabelle to take some food.
“Thank you, mom. You should eat more too!” Annabelle said smilingly.
Ralphy sat on the opposite and he looked at Annabelle. The man’s gaze was deep and sophisticated. He pondered for a while and continued with his dinner.
After the meal, Annabelle went to Ralphy’s study room. She knocked on the door.
“Brother!”
Ralphy sat inside. The moment he saw Annabelle, his lips curled up and said, “Come in!”
Annabelle wrote him a glass of milk, “It’s good to drink milk in the night. You will sleep better!” As she said that, she walked over and put it on his desk.
Ralphy smiled and pointed at the chair opposite him, “Sit!”
Annabelle sat down.
At that time, Ralphy took out a name card and said, “This is lawyer Lee’s name card. Do you need me to call him and give him a heads up?”
Annabelle took over the name card and she shook her head with a smile, “There’s no need, I can call him myself!”
Ralphy nodded and he stared at Annabelle. After contemplating, the man asked, “Annabelle, tell me the truth. What is happening?”
Annabelle stared at Ralphy and remained quiet.
“Is it about He Cole Ho’s case?” Ralphy asked.
“You know it too?” Annabelle asked.
When Annabelle heard her brother, she looked at him and said, “I don’t have a reason for doing that. However, my intuition told me that I must do that!”
“Bro, can you please don’t ask me why? I couldn’t come up with anything and I simply need your support!” Annabelle said.
Only God knows the reason why!
Ralphy knew he couldn’t turn away from Annabelle’s requests.
The sister had never asked for his help, not since she was a little child. And now that she pleaded for his help, he couldn’t reject her.
He looked at Annabelle for a long while. Finally, the brother conceded, “Okay, I won’t ask. But you must make sure that you are safe!”
“I guarantee that!” Annabelle smiled immediately and said.
“We don’t know who that man is and his background. You must make sure to keep a safe distance from him!” Ralphy advised.
Annabelle smiled, “Don’t worry, he is currently in custody. What do you think he could do to me? Everything will be fine!”
