I was startled and sat up from his embrace.
Daniel Carter had a few more words with the person on the other side, then hung up the phone.
"The embassy staff asked me if I wanted to go see him. What do you think?" Daniel Carter asked me.
"No." I shook my head without hesitation, "Handle it as it should be handled, there's nothing worth seeing."
Thinking of the things Adrian Gordon said to me and did to me, my heart strongly resisted.
Daniel Carter held my shoulder, his palm gently exerted some force, silently comforting: "The embassy staff's idea is, if it's handled in the jurisdiction, like in this situation, without causing substantial harm, as long as he can find a good lawyer, a plea of 'not guilty' should be easy. Moreover, if the case is tried here, you, as the plaintiff, must stay here, and can only return home after the entire case is reviewed..."
Daniel Carter didn't finish his sentence, but I understood.
