Joan didn't want to suffer, nor dare she fight back, so she tolerated it.
After calming down, she stared at Zack expectantly. "Honey... How's Georgia doing? Has she been out of danger?"
Sitting in the chair, Zack gazed at her coldly and asked, "Where is my crystal? Where did you take it to?"
Joan stiffened immediately. Her heart skipped a beat.
Zack studied her expression without blinking, his eyes full of ice and questions.
Joan realized his purpose for being in the detention house.
"You... You are not here to pick me up." Joan felt disappointed, trying hard to repress her excitement with a bitter smile.
"Who did you give the crystal to?" Zack asked. Then he warned her, "You'd better tell me honestly."
Joan shook her head in disbelief, overwhelmed by disappointment. "We've been married for 20 years. How could you be so heartless... Humph! Michelle Clarke is indeed tough."
"Let me repeat the last time. Where. Is. My. Crystal." Zack raised his voice, running out of his patience.
Joan was still in a daze but refused to answer.
"Unwilling to tell me, huh?" Zack stood up. "Stay here obediently. I'll find it out one day."
Seeing him turn away, Joan panicked.
She begged instinctively, "Honey, you can't leave me here. We've been married for 20 years. You can't treat me so cruelly."
"Even if we can't be together, you should bail me out for the sake of our marriage. We still have a son."
Zack didn't go there to save her. He regretted making the trip as every single glimpse at her sickened him.
He also realized Joan would never tell him the crystal's whereabouts. He didn't want to waste more time, leaving quickly.
"Wait! How's Georgia? Answer me!" Joan yelled at his back, "Has she been out of danger?"
Unfortunately, she didn't get her answer.
Joan collapsed, sliding to the floor. "Georgia, my daughter... I'm so sorry," she wept.
After being with Joan for many years, Zack knew her well.
He asked her several times, but she refused to answer, which meant he would never get the information from her.
