The police chief looked at the handcuffed trespassers and then at the colleagues that Rain spoke of.All of those who invaded the house had bruised noses and swollen eyes. Their faces were injured to certain extents, while Rain's subordinates were not injured at all, at least not on the surface."Would good citizens beat up others so badly?" The police chief did not believe her."They were all armed with daggers and rods. We acted in self-defense," Rain explained while she looked at the stairs.Leia had come downstairs.Rain pointed to the direction of the stairs and said, "That's Mr. Norman's daughter in A City and behind her is the colleague we assigned to protect her."The police chief looked in the direction she was pointing, saw Leia, and nodded.He knew of Leia, naturally.After all, everyone knew of what happened previously. There were still ongoing gossip materials about her on the internet.Therefore, the police chief was familiar with such a ‘superstar.’He looked a
Rain explained it to him since the men were brought into the police cars.After all, in the eyes of these uninformed people, Luke was not single. His wife was abroad.No one knew Luca was Bianca.The police chief was taken aback by what she said. ‘What is this all about?’Rain knew he did not understand the situation, so she said, "The target of these people is Luca. Ms. Craw is our boss' subordinate. He knew that her life was being threatened, so he asked us to protect her.""So that woman is just your boss' employee?" The police chief understood."Mm, I work for Mr. Luke Crawford. Ms. Craw came over today because she was invited by Mr. and Mrs. Norman. We didn't expect those gangsters to dare to make a move here," Rain said.The police chief now fully understood the situation. He nodded and said, "Mm, follow us to the police station to record your statement in person.""Not a problem." Rain nodded in agreement.In the hospital…Jack and Queenie got out of the ambulance, and
Luke hurried over, and before she could speak, he picked up her bandaged hand and had a look.Luca blushed.Luke's outstanding appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people."Mr. Crawford, let's go over there..." Luca pointed to a corner where no one was around.Luke took her hand and walked over with a stern expression on his face."Does it hurt?" They stood in the corner. He did not look too good as he looked at her hand that was tightly bound by gauze."It doesn't hurt anymore," Luca said. Johann's stitching skills were top-notch. There was almost no blood oozing out after the sutures."You took too big of a risk." Luke frowned. Rain had already told him about what happened on the phone.She used herself as bait to keep Jack and Queenie safe."In that situation, I had no other choice. They were coming for me. If something were to wrong with Mr. and Mrs. Norman, I’d..." Luca paused and did not continue to speak.She thought that it was her fault for putting
“Okay.” Luca followed the police officers to the nurse’s lounge and made a detailed statement about what happened.The police officers listened to what Luca said and wrote the statement at the same time. The victims involved in this case were Mr. Norman and Mrs. Norman, and that was why he took it seriously.In the ward.Jack had already woken up.Luke came forward and asked caringly, “Dad, are you feeling better?”"I'm a little light-headed…" Jack narrowed his eyes and looked at his environment. After making sure that he was in the hospital, he recalled what happened before he passed out. When he saw Luca make herself a hostage to save Queenie, he became anxious and wanted to get out of bed right away.“Dad, please lie still.” Luke pressed the call bell.“How’s Queenie doing? What about Luca? She became a hostage. Was she taken away by them?” Jack asked anxiously. Queenie was his wife, and Luca was his biological daughter. How could he not be worried?“Luca is slightly injured
There was dead silence in the ward.Jack waited for a while for Luca, but she did not come in. He spoke, “Luke, can you please check on Luca to see if she’s done giving the statement?”Luke did not move as he replied, “Father, she’ll come here after it’s done.”Jack kept quiet."Luca has to make a detailed statement. That's why she's taking a long time. She's worried about you. She'll be here later," added Luke.“Okay.” Jack closed his eyes and recalled what had happened.Leia and Luca were both their daughters. Luca tried her best to protect Jack and Queenie, while Leia…Jack remembered Leia screaming weirdly. It was because of Leia's scream that made him and Queenie suffer…Leia was hiding behind the sofa. She was safe. However, judging from the way she screamed and how she caught those men’s attention, it seemed like she did it on purpose...“The security alarm went off when that happened,” said Jack. To make sure that the alarm system would still work when there was no ele
Leia had no choice but to stay in the general ward at the Department of Hepatobiliary.However, Leia had no idea about Jack’s and Queenie’s current conditions.Leia could not help but hope that Jack and Queenie had injured their brains and were suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage. It would be better if something else happened to them. She wanted the two of them to experience how it felt like to be in pain from sickness.Still, she could not find out anything while staying in the general ward. No one informed her about her parents’ condition either. Johann turned a deaf ear to her questions whenever she asked him.It was as though everything about Jack and Queenie was kept in the dark from her. There was nothing Leia could do. She could only come upstairs and claim that she wanted to visit them to find out how they were doing. However, she did not expect to be stopped the moment she stepped out of the elevator.The head nurse was left with no choice. Leia was known for her bad b
When Luca heard Jack say it was the misfortune of the family, Luca pursed her lips. She held a grudge against Leia. Everything pointed to Leia…“Mr. Norman, say no more. Get some rest. I’ll be here,” said Luca.Jack continued, “Luca, you’re injured too. You don’t have to stay here. Ask Luke to find us a caretaker. You have to take care of yourself too.”Luca felt a lump in her throat, and she could not help but choke with sobs. “Don’t worry, Mr. Crawford has everything arranged. The caretaker will be coming soon.” Jack blinked his eyes and slowly closed them.Johann was worried that the concussion would cause some discomfort, so he added some painkillers to the IV drip.Luca glanced at the two IV fluid bags. They were running out of liquid. Thus, she pressed the call bell.The head nurse walked into the ward and asked, “What’s wrong with the patients?”“The IV fluids are running out.” Luca pointed at the two IV fluid bags beside both beds.The head nurse walked toward Jack’
“Tell them to cooperate with the police officers. I’ll ask Gale to head to the crime scene,” said Luke.Although all his subordinates had undergone special training before, Rain and Gale were more professional when it came to handling matters and investigating. There was a higher chance to find out something if he sent Gale to look into the case.“Got it, Boss,” replied Rain.After Luke ended the call, he walked back toward the ward. He headed to the ward after he threw the lunch boxes in the trash bin along the hallway.Queenie had already woken up.Luca sat by her bedside and listened to her as she talked.Queenie’s speech was slurred due to the concussion, but she was able to speak fluently. There was nothing wrong with her sentences. She was probably talking about Luca being injured and how she felt sorry for her.Luca felt suffocated when she heard that. It was she who made the couple suffer, but the two of them apologized to her when they woke up."Mrs. Norman, rest wel
