âOkay, good.
Thatâs a relief.
â Sally patted her chest, as though to calm her racing heart.
âRoz Townâs supposed to have airtight security.
How could you suddenly get kidnapped?â
I couldnât admit to them that it was Janiya who did it, so I could only answer vaguely, âI donât know either.
Maybe you should talk to the police.
â
Riley, on the other hand, seemed to understand something.
She lowered her eyes and thought for a while.
Then she reached for my hand and comforted me in a soft voice, âDebra, get some rest.
Donât worry too much and just focus on your recovery.
Iâve arranged for more security guards around the hospital, so no one can hurt you ever again.

âThanks so much, Riley.
â I looked at her gratefully.
I really appreciate Rileyâs thoughtfulness.
Sally scratched her chin and seemed to have thought of something.
Squinting at me, she asked curiously, âDebra, doesnât Janiya hate you?
Do you think this has something to do with her?â @®
Before I could answer, Riley quickly changed the subject.
âIâm hungry
Sally, would you like to join me for some afternoon tea?â
âAfternoon tea? Aw, I wouldâve loved to go with you.
Itâs a pity that
Iâm still injured and canât go.
Sally, please eat a lot of good food on my behalf, okay?â I quickly caught on to what Riley was up to.
âOh, okay! As soon as youâre discharged from the hospital, I promise
Iâll treat you to afternoon tea!â
Sally was successfully distracted and forgot all about Janiya and the kidnapping.
âTen minutes is up.
Debra needs the rest.
â Just then, Caleb came in and coldly reminded the two ladies that it was time to go.
Riley smiled knowingly.
âYouâre even more punctual than some of the nurses here.
â
Sally, on the other hand, didnât say anything.
She just stared at Caleb curiously.

âCome on, Sally.
Debra needs to get some rest.
â Riley started to pull
Sally to the door.
âFine.
â Sally pouted reluctantly.
âRest well, Debra.
Iâll come to see you again when Iâm free.
â
I smiled at her and nodded.
Soon, they left, Leaving me alone with Caleb in the ward.
Caleb shut the door behind them and then sat down on the edge of the bed.
