Chapter 41 Promise Me One Thing
When Yuliana returned to the inquiry room, Kathryn and Xandria had finally calmed down.
Kathryn was sleepily sprawling on the table, and Xandria was sitting in a chair, looking listless.
After the whole commotion this whole night, they were probably drained.
Upon hearing some sound, Xandria’s dull eyes slowly focused on Yuliana. Xandria seemed like she had something to say, but she held it back in the end.
Yuliana walked over and said lightly, “Xani, I’m sorry. …
Xandria interrupted her coldly, “I was the one in a fight. It has nothing to do with you.”
But Yuliana knew that Xandria fought with Annabelle because of her.
Xandria glanced at Yuliana and said, “You don’t have to worry too much. Just now, Sir told us that we would only be locked up for about ten days or so. It’s not a big deal. It’ll be over soon.”
Yuliana knew that Xandria was only saying this to prevent her from feeling sad.
“Don’t you have classes tomorrow? It’s already one in the morning. Go home now!” Xandria looked at Larry, who was sitting in the corner, and asked, “Larry, could you please help me send Yuliana back home?”
Larry paused and looked at Yuliana subconsciously. Something seemed to have flashed across his eyes. After a while, he nodded and said, “Okay.”
Yuliana knew that there was nothing she could do by staying, and she still had work tomorrow. She would just have to think of other ways to help Xandria.
“Then I’ll go back first.”
Xandria hummed in acknowledgment.
On the way back, Yuliana remained silent and kept looking out of the window.
Larry looked in the rearview mirror and hesitated for a moment before comforting her. “Yuliana, you don’t have to worry too much. They’re just being detained. It’s not a big deal.”
He had been there before. Except for the lack of freedom, everything else was fine. All he did was sleep and eat. When he came out, he even gained a few pounds.
Yuliana regained her senses and said, “Thank you for tonight.”
“Now you’re being way too polite by thanking me.” Larry smiled brightly, paused, and then said, “Yuliana, can i ask you a question?”
“Go ahead.”
Larry hesitated for a while before asking, “You and Christopher… Are you two close?”
Yuliana was stunned. “Why do you ask?”
Larry replied, “Yuliana, last time when I sent you back, I met him at the entrance of your residential area, so I thought…”
Yuliana knew what he meant. “I have nothing to do with him.”
Hearing this, Larry breathed a sigh of relief and smilingly said, “Okay.”
Half an hour later, they reached the entrance of Maple Garden.
“Yuliana, I happen to have a friend in the detention center. I’ll ask him to help take care of Xani, so don’t worry. Xani will not suffer in there.”
“Thank you,” Yuliana thanked him again.
Larry smiled, “Yuliana, if you really want to thank me, how about buying me dinner this weekend?”
It was not a big deal to have a meal, so Yuliana nodded and replied, “Okay.”
Larry grinned and said, “That’s a deal then. What about Saturday night? I’ll come to pick you up.” While holding her arms across her chest, Yuliana said, “Okay. I’m going in now, so you should leave soon!” Seeing her movements, Larry immediately took off his coat and said, “Yuliana, it’s cold at night. Put this on!”
“It’s fine I’ll be home in a few minutes,” Yuliana refused hurriedly.
She came out in a hurry tonight and only wore a long-sleeved shirt. During the day, she could not feel the cold, but the temperature dropped at night, especially when she had just gotten out of the car. The cold was slightly unbearable.
Larry forced his coat on her shoulder. “Yuliana, don’t refuse it. You’re a teacher, and you have to be in close contact with students every day. If you catch a cold, how are you going to teach? If your cold infects the students, things will be even worse.”
Hearing what he said, Yuliana could not refuse anymore. When she was at the police station, she had already felt a little chilly. After a gust of wind blew through her now, her body could not help but tremble a little.
Besides, she was in a particular situation now, so she really could not catch a cold.
“I’ll return the coat to you on Saturday!”
“It’s just a coat. Take it easy.” Larry urged, “Now go inside, Yuliana. I’ll see you on Saturday.”
Yuliana nodded and covered up tightly with her clothes before turning around to enter her residential area.
Seeing her back disappear into the darkness, Larry returned to the car with a grin and drove away.

The car window slowly lowered, and flickering sparks could be seen.
It was already two in the morning when Yuliana got home.
After washing up, Yuliana was about to go to bed, but her phone suddenly rang.
She picked up the phone and looked at it. Her eyes darkened slightly. Two seconds later, she answered the phone.
She placed the phone next to her ear and heard the sound of a man in a cold voice. “Yuliana, it’s not impossible for me to let Xandria go. Promise me one thing.”
Yuliana frowned slightly. By intuition, she felt that this would not be a simple promise. Anyhow, she asked, “What do you want?”
