Chapter 358



The entire hallway fell silent.

Everyone looked at the entrance to the operating room. Nora was standing there, wearing a surgical gown. Her face was not clearly visible, but everyone could see how calm and serene she was.

As she spoke, she removed her gloves. After removing her gloves, she nonchalantly took off her surgical cap and mask. Her long hair fell, exposing her beautiful face.

Because the mask and cap were relatively tight, he had two red marks on his cheeks. He looked rather comical, but no one could laugh at that moment.

That was because his eyes were cold and indifferent. Even her hair was full of seriousness as she performed the operation.

Justin stared at her, with an inexplicable sense of pride rising in him as he slowly smiled.

There was more admiration in Joel’s foxy eyes.

Morris’s eyes were still pitch black. What emotions he was feeling could not be known, but anyone with that look could reflect that he was no longer as nervous as before.

The three men each had their own thoughts, but Yvonne was the one who broke the silence. She shouted in surprise, “You, why are you here?”

Nora slowly stepped out and tossed the gloves to the person standing at the entrance of the operating room. That person caught them unconsciously. When she received them, she realized that she was like an assistant. She wanted to give the gloves back to him, but she didn’t know what to say.

Nora loosened her wrists and moved her stiff neck.

She had been completely focused on the acupuncture treatment she had treated Old Maddy with earlier and didn’t dare let her guard down. It had been a full hour and a half? Added to the eight or nine hours she had been detained, she had not slept for a total of eleven or twelve hours!

At that point, her temper had already reached its limit. She frowned and her usually obedient but merciless eyes roamed over Yvonne. His voice was full of impatience. “Have you no brains? Of course, I’m here to treat Old Maddy.”

These words made Yvonne feel a knot in her chest. She bit her lip angrily and played weak. “Nora, don’t misunderstand me. It was Captain Ford who said you had escaped from the police station. Now that you’re here, I’ve asked you some questions…”

Before he could finish speaking, Nora ignored her and looked at Morris. She endured the discomfort in her body and said, “I saved him. Now I’m going back to the police station with you. As for him…”

He pointed to Justin. “Can we release him first? After all, we were too anxious before and had no choice.”

Justin said, “Hadn’t we already figured out the unknown composition of his blood before?”

Had the unknown components been investigated?

Nora looked at Morris.

Joel was flabbergasted. “Unknown composition?”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Morris said slowly, “Yes, we found some unknown components in Old Maddy’s blood, so we suspect that Miss Nora used Old Maddy to research a new medicine. It is a big crime to develop illegal medicine privately, so we stopped her.”

Everyone was enlightened.

Medical accidents were common, but there had never been a case where a doctor was brought in and couldn’t be taken out before they could confirm that something had happened to the patient.

If that was the reason, then it made sense.

Only Nora narrowed her eyes.

Researching new drugs?

These words made her frown. She wanted to relate it all, but her mind was too fuzzy right now. She couldn’t even bother to think about the basics.

She decided to put this matter aside and think about it after she had had enough rest.

She didn’t speak, so Justin asked, “So, what’s the unknown component we’re investigating now?”

Morris looked at Nora. “It’s pesticide residue. It means that someone had poisoned Old Maddy. Although there was a butler who stated that Miss Nora had never used medicine on Old Maddy, this matter almost cost him his life. Therefore, Miss Nora, please continue to cooperate with our investigation. Of course, this time you can get out on bail. When we find out who the culprit is, you can be released without charge.”

When Nora heard this, she let out a big yawn and nodded. “Okay.”

With that, she turned to Morris and held out her hand. “Captain Ford, do you need to handcuff me?”

Morris was speechless.

He sensed there was something mocking in the woman’s words.

He knew he had misunderstood her earlier and was against her.

He turned his head. “Miss Nora, you must be joking. I’m only asking you to make a statement at the police station. There is no need for handcuffs.”

“Okay.” Nora raised her eyebrows. She had just taken two steps when she realized Justin was following her. She asked, “Where are you going?”

Justin answered truthfully, “I just kidnapped Captain Ford. My crime is too big, so I have to go to the police station and be locked up for a few days, don’t I, Captain Ford?”

Morris’s face darkened. “…That’s not necessary.”

“No, I should be locked up.” Justin held Nora’s arm. “It’s better if we’re locked up together.”

Morris: “…As far as I know, you’re not married yet, are you?”

Justin’s dark eyes looked at Nora, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. The mole in the corner of his eye became even more apparent. “We’re engaged, we’re husband and wife.”

“…”

The corners of Morris’s lips twitched. He didn’t want to bother with him anymore. He felt that this person was showing his affection.

Joel said, “I’ll take you to the police station. I can pick you up immediately after you finish your statement.”

Morris was speechless.

The group continued walking.

Yvonne, who was ignored by the others, stood at the back of the crowd. She looked at Nora, who was surrounded by the three most powerful young men in New York, and inexplicable jealousy surged in her heart.

He clenched his fists tightly.

After a moment, she suddenly lowered her head, picked up her phone and sent a message.

Outside the hospital, reporters surrounded them.

As they saw Nora leave, a group of people swarmed in like a swarm of bees and surrounded them.

Morris’s expression darkened.

Justin nodded to the bodyguards as well.

Joel glanced at Quentin, who had blended into the crowd.

So the plainclothes cops, the Hunts’ security guards, and the Smiths’ security guards moved in together and surrounded the reporters on the outside, forming a wall of walking flesh.

Nora saw that the journalists could not move forward. She yawned again and walked toward the police car.

After taking two steps, a reporter who was detained outside suddenly shouted, “Captain Ford, why was the suspect in the hospital? Is Old Maddy dead or alive? Shouldn’t you give an explanation to the public? Besides, we have heard that Nora has escaped from the police station – doesn’t this indirectly show that she has a guilty conscience!”
