Chapter 116

Annelise's POV

I couldn't just sit there while we waited for the response so I started pacing the room slowly. I was feeling awfully tired and i knew I needed to sleep.

“Didn't you say you were told to rest more in the hospital?" Esther asked me, she lifted up her head from the phone for the first time since the last time.

“Yes, I'm not doing anything strenuous now.” I continued pacing.

"Yeah, walking around isn't stressful work." She retorted.

"What did he say, is there an update again?” I asked her instead.

"He's still on it. He said the system kept getting flagged down as though there was another one corrupting it." She replied.

What does that even mean? It's not possible that my father knows that we were trying to get her location, right? He can't have a private investigator eit
