In the car, Aurelia Shaw made a call to Foster Fuller.
The other person’s voice was as indifferent as ever, "Who is it?"
Aurelia got straight to the point: "Hello, Mr. Fuller, I’m Amanda’s friend, Aurelia Shaw, we’ve t once before."
Aurelia... Foster Fuller was quite familiar with this na, his sister brought it up several tis almost every day, "I rember, the reason you called is?"
"Is Amanda ho? I can’t reach her by phone."
"She went to the supermarket." Foster Fuller glanced at the clock on the wall, only to realize she had been gone for over an hour, his brow slightly furrowed, "What do you need her for?"
Aurelia fell silent, unsure whether she should tell Foster Fuller about it, she wasn’t completely sure that anything bad had happened to Amanda, but if sothing really had happened, to not tell her brother...
Unaware that in the few minutes she remained silent in thought, the perceptive Foster Fuller had already sensed sothing was amiss, "Is there sothing wrong with Amanda?"
"I’m not sure either..." Aurelia paused, then said: "I heard from a friend that they saw Amanda at the Royal Bar. It’s quite chaotic there in the evenings, I’m worried sothing might happen to her, so I wanted to call and ask if she’s at ho."
"I’m close by, I’ll go over and check, it’s also possible that my friend was mistaken, maybe Amanda will be back soon..."
"The address." Foster Fuller interrupted her.
"Huh?"
"The address of the Royal Bar." Foster Fuller repeated.
Aurelia hesitated for a mont, then provided the address.
If sothing really had happened to Amanda, she shouldn’t hide it from her closest relative, he had the right to know.
"My friend might have mistaken, I’ll go over and check, it’s not necessarily sothing serious." Aurelia thought for a mont and decided to comfort him.
It was her first ti comforting soone; her words ca out slightly unnatural, but she forced herself through it, not wanting Amanda’s brother to worry too much.
"Amanda will surely be okay."
These words seed like both a promise and an assurance.
Foster Fuller was montarily stunned listening, then replied, "I’ll leave it to you."
He was calr than she expected, but actually, there was a slight tremor in his voice. No matter how strict or harsh he seed with Amanda, he cared deeply for her.
Foster Fuller hung up and left the house, but before he did, he knocked on the neighbor’s door.
The person living opposite was a young girl, she’d seen Foster Fuller while coming and going from work. He was handso, morable at a glance, but she didn’t dare to strike up a conversation.
She didn’t expect him to suddenly knock on her door, instantly causing her to blush, her heart racing, shyly lowering her head, "Do you... need sothing?"
Foster Fuller politely said, "My sister has been out for a long ti and hasn’t co back yet, I’m worried about her, so I’m going out to look. If you see her return, please tell her I’m looking for her."
"Um..." Seeing Foster Fuller about to leave, the girl mustered up the courage to say, "What’s your phone number? I an, if your sister returns, I could call you."
"No need." Foster Fuller declined coldly, "Just tell her to call when she returns."
The girl lowered her head in disappointnt, while Foster Fuller departed without looking back.

The car stopped at the Royal Bar, Aurelia got out of the car.
It was raining heavily outside, and the driver felt compassion, "Miss, I have an umbrella here, take it when you go in..."
