Big Sister wasn't there, either?
Where did she go?
After Quentin, whose mind was full of question marks, hung up, he saw Louis and Warren looking at him eagerly and waiting for him to make the decision.
Quentin frowned. "When Joel went to bail her out, they gave him a very strange reason for rejecting the bail request, which made me feel that Nora must have gotten herself in trouble."
Next to him, Louis exclaimed, "Surely she didn't really cheat someone of money, did she?!"
Quentin and Warren both looked at him. "What are you talking about?"
Louis said with certainty, "Think about it—she's just someone from a small town in California. How could she possibly own a card with no credit limit? I already found it very strange that time. Maybe she's involved in a fraud syndicate!"
Warren and Maureen looked at each other.
Maureen also stroked her chin and said hesitantly, "Now that you put it that way, Nora also knows a relatively impressive hacker called Solo!"
"Solo?"
Quentin frowned. "I know that guy. He's an international hacker who's on a wanted list overseas! Why is Nora involved with him?"
Maureen and Warren looked at each other.
Louis came to a conclusion. "It's all over. It looks like Nora is gonna be involved in other kinds of trouble even without the medical malpractice incident this time! Besides, I heard that Old Maddy's situation isn't looking good!"
Warren nodded. "It's precisely because we heard that Old Maddy is still unconscious that Maureen and I are so anxious. On top of that, his vitals are slowly declining... His organs are already beginning to fail! That's why we were trying to think of a solution. Sigh!"
Louis said, "It's over, it's all over! From the start, Uncle Ian disliked Nora, yet she's gotten herself in so much trouble now... Quentin, what should we do?"
"... There's only one way out now," said Quentin.
"What is it?"
"Breaking her out of prison."
At the police station.
After patrolling the hospital for a while, Morris came back to continue interrogating Nora.
Nora was still sitting like a big boss. She leaned against the chair, stared at him, and said, "You've looked into everything, right? So, can I go to the hospital to save my patient now?"
Morris, who had a huge frown on his face, stared at the woman in front of him.
His men had indeed investigated what had happened, and also questioned the Smiths' servants. All of them testified that Nora hadn't used any drugs when she was treating Old Maddy. Instead, she had performed acupuncture on him.
He looked at Nora sternly. "You're not allowed to leave until we have an outcome with the investigations."
Nora's eyes darkened a little.
Her voice gradually became cold. "Captain Ford, I don't know what you're investigating, but someone is waiting for me to save his life right now! The more time you waste here, the higher the likelihood that Old Maddy isn't going to survive!"
Morris' expression remained unchanged. He said, "There are so many doctors in the hospital, Ms. Smith. Our medical examiners have also hurried over. I heard that the Hunts have also sent doctors over. It doesn't seem like there will be any problem even if you aren't there."
Nora frowned and gradually became impatient. "So, is Captain Ford going to take responsibility if he dies?"
She had already been detained for more than six hours.
In other words, she had been repeatedly interrogated by a stream of people, and hadn't slept for six hours!
Her physical discomfort was gradually making her irritable.
Morris, however, stared hard at her and said, "It seems to me that what Ms. Smith wants isn't to go over and treat the patient but to take the opportunity to escape, right?"
The frowning Nora was perplexed. "If you don't trust me, then ask your men to go with me!"
Morris sneered, "If I let you leave, Ms. Smith, I'm afraid even my men won't be able to hold you back."
After all, they had already been fooled once twenty years ago! 2
Nora was lost for words.
She'd clearly had a pretty good impression of Morris when she interacted with him previously, but for some reason, his attitude had changed drastically this time.
Morris had tried to sound her out previously, but he had also indirectly protected her. However, he was completely hostile and was also treating her like she was a murderer now.
What had happened?
