Chapter 9

Lily kept remembering her past happiness or sorrow, then began to chill, the whole person in the quilt kept constantly shivering. Sofia asked her anxiously what had happened, but she seemed to hear nothing, just like a wall had isolated her from the world. She did not wake up until her wrists were wrapped in cold shackles. "Lily, come with us!" Two men in police uniforms stood in front of Lily in a voice full of dignity and indifference, one of them stepped forward, holding her shoulders and pulling her out of bed. "Why should you arrest me?" Lily struggled. "Someone told us that you killed Miss Miles with a knife, and now we arrest you for intentional homicide." Lily screamed: "I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill her! " "We had enough reliable sightings and evidence, and it is impossible that you did not kill her." Lily shook her head like crazy. She looked up at Sofia, who was standing next to her. "Sofia, I really didn't kill her. You didn't see anything. You can't fake it..." she shouted. "Lily, how dare I give false testimony..." Sofia's eyes were filled with regret. "I saw it with my eyes. As soon as I came in, I saw Miss Miles fall into the ground. The ground was full of blood … Lily, if Miss Miles is not dead, you won't receive a severe sentence. When you get out, I will still treat you as my own daughter. " "No!" Lily shrieked. She didn't kill anyone. Why should pay for something she didn't do? That's a prison, what's the prison? That place is more awful than hospital. Lily shrank back in fear, and in the corner of her eyes she saw a man was coming in slowly. "Lily, stop arguing!" The voice of Nolan was as cold as a thousand years of cold ice. "Sofia and I, all of us saw that you inserted a knife into Winnie's chest and almost killed her Please take her away, sir, lest she should do anything drastic! " After listening to his accusation, the two policemen quickly pressed Lily to go out. "Nolan! You'll regret doing this to me! " Lily turned her head to Nolan and screamed. "No, I would not regret it. I should have put you in jail. That's the best outcome. " Nolan mumbled, turning resolutely away from Lily's angry howl. When the police took Lily away, Linda came with her family. "Where is that b*tch? Where is her! How dare she did it to my daughter. I would teach her a good lesson." said Linda, grinding her teeth with hatred. "Mrs. Miles, Lily has been taken away by police," Sofia answered trembly. She felt that Lily would be tortured if she fell into the hands of Linda, because Linda loved her daughter so much. Sofia was thankful that the police came so quickly. At least when Lily went to the detention center, she would not be tortured by these inhuman punishments. Sure enough, Linda slapped the table hard: "Let her off lightly! However, it is not easily to bully our Miles family. This time, I must let that bitch land herself in serious trouble! She had better go to jail for life! " Nolan's fists clenched tightly, with his brow twisted. Even the prison could not protect her? Then a stumbling figure slowly approached, and it was Nolan's grandfather. "When Winnie gets well, you two will be married immediately." The voice of Nolan's grandfather was implacably majestic. "Grandpa, I don't want to get married," Nolan said. Nolan's grandfather glanced at him faintly: "Lily is in jail now. If I want to do anything, it's easy." "Grandpa, you!" Nolan's face was sullen. Linda smiled and said, "Well, on the 15th of this month, Nolan married our Winnie."
