Chapter 57 Karma

 

Jonathan went back to his rented house in Amber’s police car.

 

It was already late by the time he reached home. Jennifer seemed to be asleep as she didn’t turn her lights on. Jonathan didn’t want to disturb her either. He had a shower in his bathroom and went to bed.

The next morning, Jennifer made breakfast for him punctually. After finishing his meal, he drove to the police station in Amber’s car.

Jennifer didn’t say anything when she saw the police vehicle. She refrained from interfering with his matters too much as she knew he didn’t like it.

 

It was eight o’clock in the morning when he arrived at the police station. Jonathan was always punctual when it came to serious business.

 

Amber had arrived at around the same time as well. She was as beautiful as ever, dressed in her smart blue blouse and police cap.

“I’ve contacted the owner of Golden Years. Let’s pay him a visit now,” she stated.

 

Jonathan nodded. “Sure.”

Amber gave him the address, and he started the car.

The road was congested with an endless procession of vehicles and pedestrians spilling out onto the sidewalks. The scenery looked like an extraordinary painting as the morning sun shone on them. Everyone seemed to have their own world and worries to handle. They seldom stopped by to appreciate the borderless sky’s beauty or the freshness of the air. Not a single soul was grateful for the beautiful nature.

 

Although the world nourished human beings, none of them ever spared a thought to repay nature’s gift.

Suddenly, Amber was reminded of something. She said, “I’ve looked into Golden Years’ file again.”

“Oh?”

“I noticed something odd in it,” she added.

“What is it?” asked Jonathan immediately.
