Zoe thought her husband was very strange. Michale got beaten up, and as friends, rather than being concerned, he just laughed. But she didn't think much about it, as summer had already set in, the weather was really hot, and with her pregnancy showing, she felt heavier and heavier.
Unable to sleep at night, she went to the Incense Making Room to make some incense pellets.
William Hale was sitting nearby, handling some work matters, when his phone vibrated. It was a message from Michale:
[Hale, what should I do?]
[Did Grandpa Shaw find out about the fight?]
[He doesn't know.]
[Then what is it...]
[I'm just afraid of Grandpa finding out, so I don't dare to go to the hospital. In the end... he took me home.]
William chuckled softly, [And then?]
[Hale, I don't know why, but when he stares at me, I get the creeps. I'm just letting you know, if you can't reach me, call the police.]
[It won't come to that, he just doesn't like you, he's not going to kill you.]
