Eli smiled. “I was just asking. There’s nothing to it.”
With that, he left. Millie watched him leave, feeling puzzled. The name Sonny Alpers sounded familiar to her. Suddenly, she remembered seeing that name in the emergency
ly, she remembered seeing that name in the department.
He was that prisoner. He appeared to still be in the hospital. However, Millie didn’t understand why Eli asked if she knew him.
Sonny was lying in bed watching TV when Eli entered the ward. His expression immediately turned sour at the sight of him.
“Nice and comfortable?” Eli entered and gazed out the window. The hospital view was pretty good.
Sonny remained quiet, just watching TV.
“Are you almost fully recovered?” Eli asked coldly, crossing his arms. “I assume you’ll be able to return to prison soon.”
Sonny hesitated before turning to Eli. “What do you want?”
Eli approached him with a solemn expression and demanded, “I’m going to ask you a question, and I expect a truthful response.”
Sonny replied irritably, “Aren’t you tired of asking me who saved Winston? You’ve asked this question countless times.”
“Since you’re aware of my question, then answer me honestly. Who saved Mr. Greer?” Eli was skeptical that it was Joanna who had saved Winston.
Judging from her actions over the years, it was clear that she was someone who would go to any lengths to accomplish her ambitions. Given her selfish nature, it seemed impossible that she would willingly put herself at risk for Winston.
Eli had a strong and imposing presence, much like Winston. After spending many years with Winston, he had also become formidable. At that moment, Sonny noticed that Eli’s gaze resembled Winston’s.
He didn’t want to lie, but Joanna was threatening him, so he felt helpless. He found himself in danger at the prison a few times. He understood that it was Joanna who caused all these troubles.
She was scared that he would reveal the truth, so she wanted to kill him. Additionally, Joanna took his child away, leaving him with no power to retaliate. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“You’re quite funny. You keep asking the same question, yet you seem to doubt my words.” Sonny sneered, clearly attempting to shift the conversation.
“Is someone threatening you?” Eli asked.
“I’m not being threatened by anyone!” Sonny exclaimed in frustration. “Just what kind of person is Winston? Despite Joanna saving him, he still doubts the truth. She’d be truly upset if she knew!”
Sonny glared at Eli. “Does she know that you keep coming to me? Huh?”
Eli grabbed Sonny by the neck and shouted, “Sonny!”
”וויו
say
this one last time! It was Joanna who saved Winston! Joanna! There’s a scar on Joanna’s back. I wounded her with a dagger. I pushed Joanna into the water, and she nearly drowned.”
Eli was confused, and his heart raced as he heard Sonny’s words. He even started to believe Sonny and wondered if Joanna really did save Winston.
“If I were Winston, I would marry Joanna immediately. She risked her life for him, and yet he still doubts her. A man like him should just die!”
Upon hearing his words, Eli punched him in the face. “You have no right to judge what Mr. Greer does!”
He punched Sonny so hard that Sonny almost lost a few teeth. Then, he got up and walked out furiously.
Sonny collapsed on the bed after seeing Eli leave. He couldn’t help but close his eyes and laugh, tears falling from his eyes.
