章 142: 142 A night of absurd dreams, dreaming of jackals and wolves?

Relatives?

Zoe Bell stared blankly for a few seconds, then said with self-mockery, "Director Hall is a chronic liar; her words have no credibility. Besides, even if I could find my relatives, would that really be a good thing?"

She thought and feared…

Maybe they already had a new life.

Even if she found them, she might not be welcome.

Or perhaps what Director Hall said was a lie in the first place.

There was also the possibility that the person looking for relatives wasn't looking for her at all.

She gave William Hale a smile, "Actually, I think I'm quite happy now, with you, and Grandma and Grandpa... You all are my family."

William Hale saw through her insincerity but chose not to call her out on it.

Outside the house, a light rain had begun to fall. After taking a painkiller and drinking a warm glass of milk, Zoe Bell fell into a deep sleep.

She was indeed exhausted from being run ragged by him during the day.

Completely drained.
