Lionel Yeager said, "Maybe it’s because Assistant Tolkien used all the money she earned to support her family."
Julia Stewart nodded, thinking that Lionel had a point.
After parking the car, the three came to the entrance of a building.
This building only has eight floors and does not have an elevator.
The three climbed the stairs to Room 703 on the seventh floor.
However, as they arrived at the door, all three were suddenly taken aback.
The door was painted with red paint, with the words "pay back the money" written on it.
Julia Stewart asked in disbelief, "Could it be that Sunny Tolkien owes people money and hasn’t paid it back?"
Lionel Yeager also frowned slightly.
He had found it strange when Sunny borrowed money from him before.
After all, Sunny’s salary should have been more than enough to support herself.
Why would she owe people money?
Lionel Yeager said, "Let’s ask Assistant Tolkien later."
Julia Stewart nodded and knocked on the door.
However, after knocking for a while, there was no response from inside.
"Did something happen?"
Julia Stewart’s face was full of worry as she knocked and called out, "Sunny, it’s me, open the door quickly!"
After a while longer.
There was finally the sound of footsteps inside.
The door opened, and Sunny Tolkien’s figure appeared in front of the three.
The moment they saw Sunny, all three were stunned.
If they were not familiar with Sunny, they would hardly recognize her.
She was wearing pajamas, her hair was disheveled, her lips dry, and her face and body were covered with bruises. She looked completely different from before.
Before, Sunny was full of energy, but now she barely looked human.
Sunny lowered her head slightly and asked weakly, "President Stewart, Assistant Yeager, Prajna, why are you here?"
"Sunny, what happened to you?!"
"Sister Sunny Tolkien, what happened to you? Who did this to you?"
Julia Stewart and Prajna Bates didn’t answer the question, but asked instead.
"No, nothing."
Sunny replied evasively, then said, "Please come in."
The three nodded and entered.
The inside was messy, things were broken, and there were bloodstains on the ground.
After closing the door, Sunny said, "I’m sorry, the house is a mess, and I haven’t had time to clean up.
Please sit down, I’ll get you some water."
Then, Sunny limped away to get the water.
"Sunny, what’s wrong with your leg?"
Julia Stewart hurriedly asked.
Over the years, Sunny had helped her shoulder some of the pressure and had always encouraged her when she was feeling down.
So, to her, Sunny was both her assistant and her friend.
Seeing Sunny in this state now, she was extremely worried.
Sunny forced a smile, and said, "I just tripped and fell, it’s nothing."
"How can it be nothing when you’re in this state?
Stop pouring water, sit down and talk to us."
Julia Stewart quickly went to help Sunny sit on the sofa.
Sunny shook her head and pretended to be strong, saying, "President Stewart, thank you for coming to see me, but I’m really fine.
After a few days of rest, I’ll be able to return to work."
Prajna Bates was extremely anxious, "Sister Sunny Tolkien, please tell us, we can’t stand the suspense!"
