The next morning, Lauren was woken up by the alarm clock again. Ruby woke up a few minutes earlier than her and was already washing up.
Lauren stayed in bed for a while before getting up again.
Carina was aware that Lauren and Ruby were living together, so she was not surprised to see the two of them getting out of the same car.
She squatted down and asked about Ruby’s condition. She was relieved to see that Ruby was not in a bad mood.
“You two go in first. By the way, Lauren, come to the office to look for me in the afternoon. I have something to tell you.”
“Oh okay.” Lauren nodded blankly. She didn’t know why Carina was looking for her.
The morning passed peacefully. Ruby was in a good mood today, and she treated the other children much more warmly than before.
The other children did not know what had happened to Ruby a while ago, and Ruby did not show it at all. Even though something had happened at home, Ruby was much more lively than before.
After lunch, the children were free to move about. Lauren went to the office to look for Carina.
Carina was the only one in the office. When she saw Lauren, she even deliberately closed the door, as if she wanted to say something important.
Lauren stood in front of Carina obediently.
“Miss Bailey, why are you looking for me?”
“Lauren, Ruby’s mother, Susan Harding, wants to meet you.”
“Meet me? Why?”
“She knows you are good friends with Ruby in kindergarten, so she has some questions for you. The case regarding Ruby and her mother isn’t over yet. Ruby has already confirmed many times that the injuries on her body, including the allergy incident, were caused by her mother. However, her mother has yet to admit it, and the police have no direct evidence to prove it. Therefore, you may need to cooperate to answer some questions.”
“There’s no need to be nervous. You just need to tell the truth.”
Lauren nodded. She originally wanted to look for Susan, but she did not expect Susan to take the initiative to meet her. This saved her a lot of effort.
“Sure, Miss Bailey. I’m willing to meet Ruby’s mother.”
“As this matter cannot be delayed, the police also want to close the case as soon as possible and find out who is at fault, can we go over this afternoon? I will help you apply for leave for the kindergarten classes.”
“Yes, that’s fine. I’ll let my brother know first.”
“Alright. I’ll pick you up from class then.”
After Lauren left the office, she used her phone watch to call Franklin.
“Alright, you can go. But you have to be careful not to get too close.”
After all, Susan was still a suspect. Franklin did not want Lauren to get hurt.
Lauren nodded and returned to class. After returning to class, Lauren began to pack up her things.
The students around saw it and asked Lauren where she was going, and Ruby also looked straight at Lauren.
“Oh, I have something at home, so my brother called Miss Bailey to apply for leave. I’m going out with my family this afternoon.”
“Wow! Lauren, you’re so lucky. You don’t have to attend class this afternoon!”
Lauren smiled. She really thought it was a good idea as her kindergarten classes were too boring and not challenging at all.
Although the children here were all very nice, Lauren felt that it was a waste of time to stay here sometimes.
After she was done packing, Carina came to pick her up after a while.
As it was not good to park the police car at the entrance of the kindergarten, Carina and Lauren walked for a block before they got into the car sent by the police station.
Lauren had met the police officers of this police station before. After getting into the car, she greeted the police officers. The police officers were now very used to this little fellow’s participation in various cases.
Since Lauren’s guardian was not around, Carina had to accompany her.
“How’s Ruby’s mother? Is she still unwilling to admit those things?” Carina asked.
“Yes, it was rare to see such a determined suspect. Usually, they would take the initiative to break the silence after being locked up for five to six days. It’s just that there is too little evidence in this case, so we’re also wondering if there’s really a misunderstanding.”
“The case now depends on you, Lauren.”
The police officer looked at Lauren and smiled.
“Okay!” Lauren nodded heavily. “I’ll definitely do my best to help.”
After arriving at the police station, Lauren was immediately brought to the interrogation room by the police without delay.
Susan was currently wearing handcuffs and sitting opposite them.
