19When we flew back and got off the plane, I refused Jasper's offer for a ride home. Instead, I hailed a taxi on my own, planning to comfort Yohannes later.It was a blessing for me to be able to have a normal job at that time. Not only could I devote myself to work, but I could also brave the challenges of both work and life. Gone was the fear in me, even when I came across a new environment or met some new faces. I could not have dreamed of attaining such a feat had it been a few months back.I could not wait to share my joy with Yohannes.He would be happy for me, too, I believed. Anyone would be glad to see their partner glow with confidence and move forward in life. Yohannes was the one who lifted me up and led me away from the dark stretch of living hell. He was my savior, my hero.All of a sudden, I received a call from Daniel.He sounded a tad hesitant on the other end of the line as if he was still considering whether to talk to me or not. What he said next almost stunn

21When I was in Grade 7 that year, a boy was transferred to the class. He was well-dressed and elegant, just like a prince. After school ended, there was always a black car to pick him up.At that time, those young children did not prioritize money, but it was more about strength and achievement. Thus, tall burly boys always had the right to speak. As such, someone like Jasper looked slightly more awkward in such an ordinary public school.It was unknown whether Jasper was quiet and shy by nature or whether some people had deliberately isolated him. No one became his friend. He always walked through the school building alone. When he was attending classes or reading books, there was no fear on his face. However, there was no joy as well. It was as if he was living in a vacuum.Who was fond of staying alone forever? He must have wanted to have his own friends, but perhaps he was too reserved that he did not dare to take the initiative. I could not stand to see anyone be this lonely

23Yohannes did not show any anger or shout at me after hearing about the breakup. Moreover, he did not even show that he was surprised. He merely said in a calm tone that he took note of it. It was difficult to know what he was thinking.I felt that I had never really known Yohannes from the beginning. At least, I never knew everything about him."Let's have a meal together after I cook it. We can treat it as our final goodbye." He added sadly, "You used to like eating the food I cooked. Let me cook it for you once again."The sadness in his words made me sad as well. Thus, we sat down at the table and had our last meal together.There were honey-glazed ribs, beef brisket with potatoes, salt and pepper spare ribs, and poached sea bass. All of them were my favorite dishes and looked absolutely mouth-watering. They filled the entire table. It was supposed to be our final farewell.While eating, all the previous scenes filled my mind.The one about us having our meal at the table,

25I wondered who would come to my rescue.My phone was in Yohannes's hand. He might have already pretended to be me and contacted others to pretend nothing had happened. No one in the world would be observing me so carefully. Perhaps, just like last time when the psychopath kidnapped me, no one would notice that I was kidnapped until two weeks later.I was wrong. I should've left Yohannes decisively when I first noticed something was off about him.Natalie was right when she said I was weak. To some extent, I seemed to long for the warmth that Yohannes gave me and subconsciously hoped that we could go back to the past.I didn't completely regain my senses until I was trapped in the utility room.No one in the world would be good to someone unconditionally. They must have had other intentions if they treated someone too well.The utility room became a prison. I lay down on the narrow folding bed every day in despair, looking at the ceiling in a daze and fantasizing about the day

27"It's the footage of the car's dash cam. Some dash cams have the function of motion detection. As long as the setting was turned on, even if the car was turned off, it'll start filming when it sensed there were moving objects within the camera range."I clenched my fists for fear of missing out on what Jasper said."It took Leticia 25 minutes to get home. She might have gone missing on four streets. There was a total of 19 cars parked on the four streets that night. 16 of them were equipped with a dash cam, and nine of them had motion detection functions." Jasper was calm and continued to analyze incessantly like a detective.He then continued, "Seven of them turned on the function. In the footage of the seven cars, a total of 57 pedestrians passed by the streets in that 25 minutes."Yohannes was getting a little impatient. "What are you trying to say? Are you deliberately stalling for time?""This was a huge investigation process because someone might have ambushed ahead of t

29(Extra) JasperWhen Jasper was a child, he was called Jasper Labelle because he shared his mother's surname.When he was about seven years old, he began to understand the difference between him and other children.Jasper lived in a luxurious house, dressed meticulously, and always had a car to drive him around when he went out. Aside from that, he could not do things he wanted.No ordinary child was willing to approach Jasper. The child of Mary Wright, the housekeeper, once ruined Jasper's model curiously. The child ended up getting reprimanded by Mary after Mary cried and apologized. Since then, no child had ever wanted to approach Jasper.It seemed like people were saying that Jasper was different.Fortunately, he had Lorelai. Jasper felt Lorelai was the most beautiful person in the world. Her hair was long and soft, and she always smelled nice. Jasper did not understand why his father, Zachary Zabinski, always had a gloomy expression and often quarreled with Lorelai.Lore

30I felt that I was terrible.Not only to Jasper but also to Yohannes.At first, I always received the warmth given by Yohannes, and I never cared about whether he would be sad or unhappy.Later, Yohannes started acting abnormally. I asked myself if I had communicated nicely with him. I wondered if I had a better way of dealing with it and preventing things from deteriorating.Fortunately, Jasper's life was not in danger. The knife was not stabbed at a critical point, but the wound was deep. He needed some time to rehabilitate.When Yohannes was interrogated again, he talked about the car accident that Jasper had mentioned.Yohannes didn't know the psychopath who kidnapped me, but he did have a connection with him.That day, he witnessed a car accident and rushed to save the owner of the car.The car owner's face was covered with blood, and he seemed like he would faint anytime. Perhaps when he realized he was about to die, he entrusted something to Yohannes, which was a key.

33Perhaps a pet who only listened to him might be the only thing he could control in his uncontrolled life for over 20 years.Yohannes wanted to turn a living person into a pet only he could control. Perhaps it was his deepest desire that had been suppressed intensely, trying to express himself in a psychopathic way.He was begging for help.I thought of this because I had experienced such helplessness and knew how miserable it was.Having to struggle with my own emotions, knowing there was a problem but not being able to walk out of it and having to stay in place, torturing myself repeatedly...People who were struggling would send out help signals. Even though they might not say it directly, they still wanted someone to give them a pull and save them.I wondered who could save Yohannes.Before the verdict, I went to see Yohannes. Based on the case, if he pleaded guilty sincerely, he might only be sentenced to several months in jail.Yohannes seemed surprised and looked much
