The Heart Left Behind (Cole and Yvonne) novel Chapter 387

After several days of failing to contact Yolanda, I started to sense that something was wrong.

When I called Chris, he merely responded with vague and evasive replies.

I looked at Murphy, who had just come back. "What did you find out?"

Murphy took a deep breath and said, "It seems like they've locked her up."

"Locked her up? It looks like Yolanda is quite stubborn," I remarked. They had probably decided to lock her up because she kept on resisting. Chris sure was ruthless to go to such lengths against his own sister.

Standing by the side, Murphy carefully asked, "What should we do now? Are we going to help?"

"Report this to the police." This matter had little to do with me, and I didn't dare to get involved. But if we reported them to the police for imprisoning a young woman, the consequences would be severe.

"You handle it, and don't let anyone find out we made the report," I instructed.

If Henry found out that I was involved, he would never let it go. I didn't have the time to deal with him.

…

In less than half an hour, the police surrounded Ruth's residence.

There was a growing crowd of onlookers, and Ruth was forced to open the door under all the pressure. She stood in the doorway and put on a calm and composed expression. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Are you Chris Joplin's mother?" The police officer flashed his badge, but Ruth maintained her earlier stance. She even showed a hint of disdain.

"Are the police just allowed to barge into someone else's house nowadays?" Ruth asked.

"We received a report that you're holding a young woman here against her will," the officer said bluntly, pushing past Ruth to enter the house.

"Holding a young woman against her will? I only have one daughter, and how I discipline her is none of your business," Ruth protested with her hands on her hips. She felt that the police had no right to interfere in her private life.
