Aurelia was sitting in the police station.
There were cameras everywhere in the small room. She knew numerous eyes were watching everything she was
doing behind the cameras. Two police officers were standing in front of her. Their expressionless faces were cold,
and they stared at her like ice sculptures.
She was terrified and did not know what would happen to her. However, she tried her best not to show it. She would
lose hope as soon as that happened.
“Sunny?” One of the local police officers had asked her this question many times. “What’s your family name?”
Aurelia remained silent. She had been like that since she came in, not uttering a single word.
“Do you not understand what we’re saying?” The other police officer’s eyes were fierce. “Do you need an
interpreter?”
Aurelia sat up straight with her head low. Her curled eyelashes shook slightly.
The officers asked all of the questions again like a routine.

“What’s your usual source of income?
“Where were you when the shooting incident in the south happened?
“You were at the Baker Group’s hotel when we captured you. Why were you staying there?”
Aurelia’s lips were pale from biting them. She squeezed the corner of her shirt.
In reality, she had thought about the worst thing that could happen to her—she would be chased out of the country.
She would just stay somewhere else if she could not stay in Chaiseland. She would not have an identity, no matter
where she was anyway.
She had no place to live, people were disgusted by her, and she was hiding like a rat, being a nomad all her life…
She was not afraid of all that.
However, she was afraid of dragging Neil into this mess.
They were asking about the Baker Group’s hotel.
No matter what, she could not tell them that it was Neil who got her to stay in the hotel.
Aurelia calmed her mind and remained silent. She was not brave, actually. In reality, her hands and feet were
frozen from the scare.
The only thing she was holding on to was not dragging Neil into this.
She knew what she should say and what she should not.
However, she knew that as long as she said nothing, the officers could not find any flaws in what she said. As such,
she would not drag Neil in.
She took a deep breath in and tried her best not to cry.
The officers were losing their patience, and one of them slammed the table. The deafening sound startled her!
“Don’t you think we’ll let you off just by pretending to be mute and deaf!” The officer gnashed his teeth. “We’ve
seen many scoundrels like you! We’ve captured those nomads that were with you. They’ve admitted to it, yet you
still don’t want to spill the truth?”
Aurelia lifted her eyes in shock.
Admit? Admit what?

Aurelia’s heart was pounding, and her brain was foggy.
“Ms. Sunny.” The officer smiled in pride, thinking they had already broken her walls down. “The best thing for you to
do now is to answer us truthfully. Then, we’ll get people to send you to the border. You can decide where to go by
then!”

Aurelia had been detained in the police station for three days.
Throughout the three days, she could not contact anyone. The only person who could pass her messages was Will.
He guaranteed Zephyr and Cordelia that she was good there. Even though she was being questioned, it would not
be 24 hours. She was given time to rest.
However, as a sergeant, he had to set a good example. Even though he was protecting her, he could not be too
obvious.
Cordelia nodded. She peeped at Neil, who looked down as he leaned on the couch. He had dark eye circles and
looked exhausted, and his hair was messy.
Throughout the three days, Aurelia had been suffering there while he had been suffering on his own.
Will was about to leave after briefing them.
At that moment, Neil, who had been silent, suddenly stood up to ask. “When can I see her?”
