Chapter 4 Undress and Lie down on the Bed


At a loss for a verdict, the police officers received a call.

"Mr. Knight called. She's not a kidnapper. Release her immediately!"

After setting Galatea free, two female officers exchanged a glance and couldn't help but sigh, "Rich people just do as they please. A couple's quarrel that involved the police."

Galatea, who just got out of the station, felt extremely unlucky. Her first day back in the country involved a trip to the police.

She was about to call Harry when her phone rang; it was Elisa.

"Mom, how are you? Why aren't you back yet?" The fancy dinner is ready.

"Where's Harry? Did he make it home?" Galatea asked urgently.

"Didn't Harry go to the hospital to look for you?" Elisa explained her frustration. After settling into their new home, Mia insisted they take a nap. Harry couldn't sleep and begged her to go to the hospital, but she was exhausted. After refusing, she fell asleep, and when she woke up, Harry was gone.

"So, Harry hasn't come home yet?" Galatea's heart leaped to her throat when she heard this. The cops are all about nailing traffickers, but what about the safety of the kids?

"He's back now!" Elisa barely got the words out when they saw Harry push the door open, "Mom, no need to worry, Harry's back!"

Galatea's heart settled just as her temper was about to flare!

After Elisa got cut off on the phone, her worried gaze held a hint of amusement that her brother was in trouble, "Harry, Mom knows you sneaked off to the hospital."

"How did she find out?" Harry, truly startled, quickly glanced at his smartwatch. He was certain he had disabled the tracking feature.
