Suddenly, a smile appeared on John's face. He said in a low and cold voice, "Since you are sick, you should be locked up. Amy, take her to the South District Psychiatric Hospital."
"Yes, sir." Amy, who was capable and efficient, walked towards Isabella. "Miss, let's go."
Isabella was scared. She held her mother's hand tightly and took a few steps back, unwilling to go with Amy.
Isabella felt that she would be taken to a terrible place.
She knew that John wouldn't let her go and would punish her.
"She's sick and can't understand people's words. Just drag her away." Nina said. She didn't like talking too much and preferred actions.
"Nina, you..." As soon as Isabella started to speak, Amelia covered her mouth immediately, fearing that she would give away the truth of Kristina's death.
In fact, all the police present knew that Isabella was pretending to have mental illness, but they couldn't take her away directly because Amelia had prepared evidence that proved Isabella was mentally ill.
"She can walk by herself." said Amelia.
Then Amelia held her daughter in her arms and comforted her in her ear, "Isabella, don't be afraid. The deputy director of the South District Psychiatric Hospital is my friend. He will take good care of you in the hospital. Just regard it as a chance to hide yourself. And you'll come back home later."
With her mother's promise, Isabella left reluctantly.
Amy and other guards surrounded Isabella as they walked, preventing her from escaping.
After Isabella left, Amelia and Glenn were about to leave. "Since it has nothing to do with us, we're leaving now."
Glenn held his wife and turned to leave.
"Stop! I won't let the police come here in vain." John said.
Everyone present knew that something serious was going to happen.
Everyone looked at John. As John turned his head to look away, the others followed his gaze.
Lena was coming towards John, followed by some people bringing a stretcher, on which there was a man lying in rags, with neither hands nor feet.
"Sir, he's here." The stretcher was put down and everyone could see clearly who was lying on it.
"It's you!" Nina recognized the person at once.
It was Ellison who kidnapped her and tried to rape her.
Ellison used to be a burly man, but now was emaciated with a sallow complexion. His eyes rolled and his face was full of fear.
Amelia saw Ellison and her face turned pale.
'Why is he here?
It was John who took him away and chopped off his hands and feet. Why does John bring him here now?
Has Ellison betrayed me?'
Amelia was in panic. She didn't dare to look at Ellison and her palms kept sweating.
Noticing that something was wrong with his wife, Glenn covered her hand with his hand and asked, "Why is your hand so cold?"
"Nothing. Maybe the wind is a little cold." Amelia was so scared that she couldn't speak fluently.
If Ellison told the police that Amelia ordered others to kidnap Nina, Amelia would be sentenced.
It was not easy for Amelia to solve her daughter's problem. Amelia thought that she couldn't let herself get into another trouble.
"I'm not feeling well. Let's go home now." Amelia grabbed Glenn's hand and was about to leave.
Noticing that there was something wrong with Amelia, Noah asked, "Do you know him?"
"No, I don't know him." Amelia shook her head and denied.
It was difficult for people to lie when they were nervous, but if they lied, it was easy to discover.
Both Noah and Nina knew that Amelia was lying. They guessed that Amelia not only knew Ellison, but also hired him to do things for her.
