The aunts left after Molly left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took a step back and kept my distance from Sean. I looked at him and said, “President Jessop, thank you for being so nice to me. You will be my brother-in-law and boss in the future. Let’s not contact in private anymore.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, I went out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t hear Sean’s footsteps. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt very sad. I knew the answer. This was the best. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went to the hospital gate and wanted to take a taxi. Suddenly an arm came up to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked down and saw that he had the pink diamond necklace in his hand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was a birthday present he gave me before. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little heartbroken. I said, “President Jessop, I don’t want it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Take it.” Sean shoved the necklace roughly into my hand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This was the first time I had seen this necklace in the daytime. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, is there anything else?” I looked up at Sean and tried to make my voice as cold as I could. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He took me by one hand and took a necklace out of his pants pocket by the other. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the golden sunset, the necklace sparkled with bright light. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The pink heart-shaped diamond at the front looked so perfect. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But it and I did not belong to one class and one world. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was like Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I just looked at it and wanted to put the necklace in his hand, “sorry, President Jessop. It’s too expensive. It doesn’t fit me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I will not take back what I sent.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean grabbed me with one hand and put the other in his pants pocket right away. He didn’t plan to take it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was determined to give it back to him, “President Jessop, you can give it to Molly. Even if she knew you wanted to send it to me, I think she would be happy to accept it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It is for you.” He said indifferently. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But I don’t like it at all.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“If you don’t like it, throw it away.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean finished and let me go and turned to leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at his back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I feelt heartbroken. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was like a farewell. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This necklace was the best witness of the farewell. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I got home, I found a towel to wrap the necklace carefully. Then I put it in a bag and put it on the top of the wardrobe. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew that I may never wear this necklace again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sherry was in a coma all the time. The next day when I was off duty, I came to the hospital and saw some policemen standing there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
One of them saw me and came straight to me and said, “are you June? We have a few questions for you about Sherry.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The police got to the point. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had been through it many times so I nodded calmly, “OK.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The police began to ask about Molly and what happened on the day of Sherry’s operation. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I answered one by one. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then the police asked me, “did you see Dave, Sherry’s surgeon, before the operation?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” I replied. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing my answer, the policeman asked again, “are you sure?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m sure.” I looked at the policeman’s eyes and realized that something had happened. I asked, “Sir, what’s wrong with my grandma’s operation?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m sorry that we can’t disclose the case to you for the time being.” The policeman finished and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then one day I was about to go to the hospital after work and was called to the police station by the police. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The policeman asked me, “do you have a bank card with a tail number of 7891?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“7891?” I thought about it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This was not the last number of my most commonly used salary card. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But it was like this was the tail number of the card Sherry gave me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I turned over my bag and said, “I think I have the bank card with this tail number. Please wait a moment.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
However, I went through my wallet and couldn’t find the card Sherry gave me! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I suddenly realized that the card was lost! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When the police saw that I couldn’t get anything out, they asked, “what’s the matter?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“My grandma gave me a bank card, and I kept it in my wallet. It seems to be missing.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I replied truthfully. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s missing?” The policeman looked at me and said, “look for it again.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s really missing. I put it in my wallet before.” I replied truthfully. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The police looked at me. Suddenly he said seriously, “stop pretending. Dave has already said it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was confused. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The policeman told me that Dave said I gave him money to make an accident during the operation. I wanted to make Sherry unconscious and she’d better never wake up. I gave him a bank card. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They found that the bank card had half a million dollars. The money was transferred from this bank card with the tail number of 7891. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was stunned. “How could it be! I didn’t!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The police looked at my reaction and didn’t be surprised. “We saw in the surveillance video that day you called Dave to the corner of the stairs and gave him an envelope.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“My grandmother asked me to give it to him!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was stunned! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How could this happen? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The policeman said, “Sherry is in a coma now. She can’t testify to you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought for a long time and said, “but I have no reason to harm my grandma! At Carter Family, grandma is very kind to me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But we heard that just a few days ago, because your sister Molly wanted to jump, Sherry forced you to break up with Sean and let him promise to marry Molly. Is that so?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The police asked me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes,” I nodded. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“And would you hate her?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“How could it be!” I was stunned. “My grandma is very kind to me. She is my only family in my heart. How could I hate her? I listen to her!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I tried to defend myself. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But the police thought I was lying. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the end, I was locked up by the police. But I was allowed to bail. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Who can bail me? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy? I remembered her in Dubai now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Who else? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sat in the police station’s custody room and looked at the watch on the wall. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was 11 o’clock. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I thought I was going to stay in custody, the police said to me, “June, someone has come to bail you. You can leave.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Who was it? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was surprised. I saw a man in a light suit standing in the moonlight at the door of the police station. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He waved at me when he saw me coming out. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
