[If there’s something, just say it, what are you hesitating for?] Louis Cox sounded slightly discontent in his words. [Do you know anyone like a private detective?] [What do you want to do? There are many people.] [I think my mom is acting a bit strange. I want to know if something happened to her outside, like owing loan sharks or something. Also, check if Zuri Ginger has something on her, both of them have been acting odd recently.] Louis Cox was quiet on the other end for a while, then a message popped up on the phone: [Why? Did they gang up on you at home?] [Not really, just help me check the stuff above.] [Got it, leave it to me.] The last message from Louis Cox came through, and the phone suddenly rang again. Everyone else in the dormitory was asleep; Mia Ginger answered directly, quietly saying hello. "Are you okay?" Louis Cox asked directly. "I’m fine." Mia Ginger said softly, "Like I mentioned in the text, is it difficult?" Louis Cox was quiet for a moment, the sound of his breathing was heard, and perhaps a lighter flicking sound too. After a while, Mia Ginger heard him say, "You should know, whatever you ask me to do, I won’t even blink. Is there any need to be so polite with me?" "Thank you." Mia Ginger chuckled. "Mia Ginger." Louis Cox called her by her full name, and before she could speak, he continued, "Don’t you think that guy with the surname Jackson is not suitable for you at all? Look at how you are in front of him, does it feel easy? Why bother?" "..." Mia Ginger remained silent. "Okay," Louis Cox chuckled lightly, "It’s up to you. But you should really think about it, why you never go to him when something happens." "..." Mia Ginger still didn’t speak. "Get some sleep." Louis Cox’s tone softened, "I’ll have someone look into it as soon as possible and let you know once there’s news." "Sure." Mia Ginger replied, then hung up the phone. Louis Cox looked at the words "End of Call" on the phone screen, lowered his head, and took a heavy drag on his cigarette. Feeling as if a fire was burning inside his chest. Feeling frustrated, the other phone on the bedside table suddenly rang too. Louis Cox reached for it and a message popped up. Bob Ginger: [Master, are you asleep?] Louis Cox was slightly taken aback and frowned before replying: [No classes tomorrow? Not sleeping yet.] [Brother, have you been friends with my sister for many years?] This afternoon, thinking of Mia Ginger’s swollen cheek was truly distressing for Bob Ginger. He felt uncomfortable after calling Mia Ginger and kept contemplating until he thought of Louis Cox, whom he saw in the morning. Actually wanted to find Koa Jackson, but didn’t have his contact number. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥 Had no choice but to look for Louis Cox. Afraid of bothering him, the question was asked tentatively. Louis Cox replied with just one word. [Then... can you go to school tomorrow to check on her?] Louis Cox was taken aback, [What’s wrong with her?] [She had an argument with my mom and got slapped. Her cheek is swollen and it’s quite serious.] Louis Cox was stung by the cigarette between his fingers, he quickly turned sideways, stubbed out the cigarette into the ashtray, and got up to call Bob Ginger. Once connected, he directly asked: "What’s the matter?" Bob Ginger heard his voice and suddenly felt a bit nervous, replied: "It’s about my elder sister’s issue, my mom told her to withdraw the lawsuit, she refused, so my mom got angry and impulsively slapped her. The slap was a bit too hard."
