Twenty-four hours had passed since Ning Ran was brought in.

At first, it didn’t matter for Ning Ran because she had also been detained here last time and she managed to leave within a while.

Therefore, she assumed it would be the same this time around because Nan Chen would definitely save her.

Nevertheless, after half a day passed, she started to grow anxious.

She missed her children. What are they doing now? Do they miss me?

What about Nan Chen? What is he doing? Why isn’t he coming for me after such a long time?

Has he forgotten about me?

If he hasn’t abandoned me, he wouldn’t have let me stay here for so long with his influence and power.

Humans had the tendency to overthink when they were in trouble. The more dubious they were, the more desperate they became.

In the meantime, they had to remind themselves from time to time to not give up on hope.

For it was the only thing that could get them through thick and thin. Without hope, there would be nothing left.

Just then, someone showed up. It was a policewoman who came to deliver food to her.

The meal was actually fine. There were vegetables, eggs, and even fruits.

But Ning Ran lost her appetite as her mind was preoccupied.

Regardless, one had to eat even though she did not feel like it. Ning Ran took the meal tray and thanked her.

This policewoman doesn’t look familiar. She isn’t the one who came to deliver the meal for the last two rounds.

And she’s even wearing a mask, maybe she’s sick or it’s because of other reasons.

After delivering the food, the policewoman did not leave immediately, and instead, she stayed there and watched Ning Ran nibbling the food.

“Ms. Ding, I’ve watched the drama you were cast in. It’s amazing but why did you take drugs?”

Another policewoman had asked her the same question but she was not the same person as this masked officer in front of her.
