His words took both Nora and Justin by surprise.
An arrest warrant?
If an arrest warrant really existed, then Morris would be justified in detaining Nora!
But if he had an arrest warrant, then why hadn't he presented it from the start?
Was he trying to keep the case he was investigating a secret? After all, the warrant would specify why exactly he was arresting Nora!!
While the two of them were musing, Morris let out a 'hmph'. He stared at them for very long before he finally asked, "Are you sure you want to see the warrant?"
Justin didn't speak. Instead, he looked at Nora.
Both of them had come to understand at this moment that Nora had indeed become involved in some kind of conspiracy. If they refrained from looking at the warrant, behaved, and waited for Old Maddy's blood test results to be out and prove her innocence, then perhaps she would be able to extricate herself from the case.
But once they looked at the arrest warrant, they would become caught up in the case.
A case that Morris had set as Class SSS in confidentiality would undoubtedly be an extraordinary one.
Nora kept quiet for a moment before she said, "I'll look at it."
Her mother had told her a long time ago that she mustn't reveal how talented she was because it would bring her trouble.
From the looks of it, this might be the origin of all the unknown danger and trouble she was in.
Morris frowned. After staring at her for a while, he finally put his hand in his pocket. Nora stared at him closely.
She knew that once he took out the arrest warrant, she would come to know all the secrets that her mother had hidden from her for so long.
She was very curious. Just what had made her mother run away from home and hide in California back then?
Morris took out a document from his pocket and was about to unfold it for her to see when someone suddenly ran in. 1
He was wearing casual clothes. After entering, he ran straight to Morris. The man was panting from running. He held a blood report in his hand and said, "Captain Ford, we found abnormalities in Old Maddy's blood!"
As soon as he said this, Morris's pupils shrank. He stuffed the arrest warrant back into his pocket and took Old Maddy's blood report. His gaze instantly became sharp.
He turned to look at Justin and moved the report in his hand before saying, "Mr. Hunt, we've detected an unknown component in Old Maddy's blood. I have enough evidence to suspect that Miss Nora is involved in a deliberate murder. Now, do you have nothing to say?"
Justin narrowed his eyes and said slowly in a magnetic voice, "What right do you have to use unknown components as evidence of murder? Captain Ford's evidence is too far-fetched!"
Morris said domineeringly, "Indeed, but there are further findings in the case. We can detain Miss Nora for another 24 hours. I believe that in 24 hours, our medical examiner will definitely be able to find out what this unknown component is and whether it's Miss Nora's doing. However, Miss Nora cannot be bailed out now!"
After saying this domineeringly, he waved his hand and the surrounding police officers slowly approached.
Justin frowned.
Nora also hesitated. "I didn't use any medicine on him. You can verify this because every time I treat him, the butler is always at the scene. Now, if there's an unknown component in his blood, I suspect that Old Maddy was poisoned by someone!"
She realized the seriousness of Old Maddy's current condition.
When she was arrested in the morning, she thought that Old Maddy was reacting differently to the treatment, so she immediately arranged for Lily to return and take over the treatment.
But if there was an unknown component in his blood... Old Maddy was in danger!
She looked directly at Justin. "What's the situation with Old Maddy now?"
Ever since she was detained, she had lost contact with the outside world.
When Justin came over, he had already sent the Hunts' medical team to the hospital to help with the treatment. When he heard this, he called his medical team.
The call was picked up quickly, and the medical team's nervous voice could be heard on the other end. "Mr.
Hunt, we've already arrived at the hospital and looked at the patient. But we can't find out the cause of the patient's illness at all. Every organ in his body is rapidly failing. If this continues, the patient won't live for long!"
He did not have much time left!
Justin immediately asked, "How long can you guys keep him alive?" "Two hours," the other party said. "We've communicated with the Smiths' medical team. Currently, only Anti can treat this illness. If Anti can't reach the hospital in half an hour, the patient might not be able to recover."
Anti?
Justin grabbed his phone, feeling anxious. Why didn't the Smiths tell him about Anti when they informed him about this?
If they did, Nora would already be in the hospital now!
When his medical team arrived and discovered the problem, two hours had already been wasted!
Justin was furious. He knew that the Smiths had neglected Nora, but his expression was still terrifyingly calm at this moment. He replied, "I understand."
After hanging up, Justin looked at Morris. "I'm sure you heard that only Anti can treat the patient now, so I have to take her to the hospital!"
Morris stood in front of him. "She has only been a doctor for five years, yet she already has the ability to solve problems that no one else can? I think this is all part of your plan. As soon as Miss Nora leaves the police station, she will be jointly arranged to leave the country by the Smiths and Hunts, right? Therefore, Miss Nora cannot leave!"
