Chapter 1117:

Julio said without hesitation, “Not only is Emerson yours, but I also am. I’ll listen to you from now on. We’ll find the best care for Emerson.”

Hearing this, Dalores gradually calmed, but her hands were still tightly gripping the edge of Julio’s clothes.

The scene drew a crowd, with people recording videos and posting them online. The news spread rapidly.

It wasn’t until Eileen realized what had nearly happened—that Dalores had almost jumped off the building with Emerson—that she understood the gravity of the situation.

Bryan had gone to handle Dalores’ case, leaving Eileen to stand outside Dalores’ ward, worried that Dalores might do something reckless in her unstable state.

“Is she still not doing well?” came a voice from behind, pulling Eileen from her thoughts.

Eileen turned quickly to see Marisa approaching, carrying a bouquet of flowers and a basket of fruit.

Eileen was so accustomed to seeing Marisa in a uniform that the difference in her demeanor now was striking. The commanding presence Marisa usually exuded was softened.

“Her condition is complicated,” Eileen replied. “Mental health issues like hers aren’t easy to manage or cure. It might be better if you don’t visit right now. She’s not in a state to recover with visitors.”

Marisa offered a gentle smile. “I’m not here for Dalores. I came to see you.”

Eileen raised her eyebrows inquiringly. “For me?”

Newest chapters on galnoνels.cóm “Yes. Is your husband handling the situation concerning Dalores?” Marisa asked, though it seemed she was already sure that Bryan was taking charge of this matter. She used the question simply to start the conversation.

Eileen believed Marisa had likely seen Bryan when he had gone to negotiate at the police station.

“Bryan has a connection with Julio, who is currently tied down with responsibilities for Dalores and Emerson. He has entrusted Bryan with this issue, and Bryan is acting on Julio’s behalf,” Eileen explained calmly.

Understanding the situation, Marisa said, “Mr. Ferguson is quite vindictive. His methods are somewhat extreme. Since you two are close, could you possibly persuade him for me?” Now, Marisa was really asking for a favor from Eileen by mentioning Dottie. “If I am dismissed by the police station, the investigation into your disappearance case will stall. Moreover, the culprit behind your loss needs to be held accountable. Otherwise, your mother won’t find peace.”

After a pause, Eileen responded, “You’re correct. I will ensure a thorough investigation. Please help me find out who will take charge of the case. I’m planning to press further charges and continue the investigation.”

Eileen turned the tables, asking Marisa to help her at the police station.

It didn’t matter to her who was in charge of the investigation as long as the truth would come out. So, why had she been dismissed?

Marisa’s expression darkened. “With so many ongoing cases, who will prioritize a thirty-year-old case? I’m also allocating public resources to help your mother investigate. Anyone else might lack the commitment to see it through.”

Eileen may have underestimated Bryan. He had significant sway over Alverton’s resources; he could ensure the investigation proceeded smoothly. “Don’t worry about that. Just hope that you will hand over the evidence you’ve gathered over the years,” Eileen said.
