Chapter 27

　　Even if she wanted to, Jessica Mo really could not say where her sister was. By now no one believed her. For her, time passed slowly, though to most the summer seemed to pass in the twinkling of an eye. It was now the start of autumn. Though he looked desperately for her, Elizabeth Mo was nowhere to be found. 　　He thought about her every night. She had suffered terribly in his hands. 　　While he loved another woman, he had tortured her and had nearly sent her to her death over and over. How did she survive? From the moment he had killed her family, how did she survive day after day? 　　Arthur Mu was wrapped up in grief, the way he had never before experienced. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't even call up the tears to relieve him of his guilt. He looked at the lonely bedroom. His heart felt numb and painful at the same time. A bitter taste washed his mouth, again and again, rushing to his throat. 　　Every day, a doctor would report on Jessica Mo's situation.
