Chapter 47: Then you can call the police

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Then you can call the policeA single sentence drew everyone’s attention. Bella Green furrowed her brows, feeling somewhat strange. In this family, the last person who should speak for her was Daniel Green. She was well aware of how much he disliked her, but here he was, the only one who believed in her... "Daniel, I, I didn’t mean anything by it." Anna Green looked anxiously at Daniel Green, shocked at heart. She never expected Daniel to speak up for Bella. Hearing these things should have made him even more disgusted instead, how could he... This unexpected turn of events made Anna uneasy. Even if her parents wavered, she wouldn’t be afraid, but she feared Daniel’s change of heart. She knew that Bella cared the most about this brother, and their parents cared about him the most as well... Daniel Green was a link in the family relationships; all the changes revolved around him. "Sis, I know you might have been misled." Daniel said. Anna couldn’t speak, biting her lip, tightly scratching her fingers, concealing the malevolent calculations in her downcast eyes. Samuel Gren hesitated for a moment, then asked patiently, "Bella, tell Dad, where exactly did you go yesterday, and who was that man?" Bella coldly sneered inside. His questioning indicated that subconsciously, he still didn’t believe her. Bella took out her old, battered phone. "I went to the hospital yesterday. Because I didn’t have enough money, after paying all the medical bills, I could only take the bus back." Hearing this, Samuel felt uneasy. For the daughter of the Green family to be reduced to taking the bus was a slap in his face. "After getting off the bus, I ran into a few thugs who stole my phone. So, I’m using this one now." Bella’s tone was calm, without grievance or complaint, so calm that it made one feel sorry. "But I was lucky that Mom and Dad didn’t force me to change my clothes yesterday." In the end, Bella added with a half-smile. Yet her words made the atmosphere heavy. Yes, she was lucky she wore men’s clothes. If it were women’s clothes, would it have just been about a stolen phone? "I also made several calls yesterday, but no one answered. I didn’t expect Sister managed to get through, why don’t you try calling again and report to the police in the process." Anna’s face looked unsightly. She didn’t expect things to turn out this way either. She did make a call, but the other side only said one sentence and then hung up, and later the phone was off. Those words were added by her. "Bella, is this really the case? We are all your family. You... don’t hide anything." Anna didn’t want to give up this chance, especially after seeing Daniel’s attitude, which made her anxious. "If you don’t believe me, then call the police. After all, I haven’t used that phone for long, it’d be best if I could get it back." "That’s not what I meant. I’m concerned about you too." Anna hesitated, seeming to find it hard to continue. "Anna, what are you trying to say?" Francesca Willis asked with a puzzled face. Hearing her ask this, Anna’s face showed hesitation, and she eventually sighed, somewhat helpless. "Mom, this matter can’t be reported to the police." "Why not?" "Because..." Anna hesitated, looking at Bella with an expression of sorrow, and said, "How could those people just have stolen a phone? Although my sister was dressed in men’s clothes, she is, after all, a girl, she..." The words stopped there, and the rest didn’t need to be said aloud. "I think it’s best to take my sister to the hospital for a check-up; otherwise, if something were to happen later, it wouldn’t be good for the Green family’s or my sister’s reputation."
