That afternoon, Norris Moore received a call from Evelyn Miller, saying that Trenton Smith had dropped the lawsuit.
Norris responded and held the phone, not knowing what to say. Evelyn on the other end was silent for a moment, and then sighed softly.
Everyone understood the reason for Trenton Smith's decision to drop the lawsuit.
"Auntie, I'll go pick up Alex."
"Mhm."
She hung up the phone.
Norris Moore rubbed her temples and walked out of the coffee shop, taking a taxi to the detention center.
Trenton Smith had dropped the lawsuit and was willing to settle, so the police had no reason to keep Alex Miller in custody. When Norris got out of the car, she saw Alex standing next to the detention center. It had been more than a month since they had seen each other, and she stared at him in a daze.
"Norris..."
She stepped forward and slapped him across the face.
Alex fell silent and looked at her.
