My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1783

Adrienne was startled.

She had worked with Zelson for two years and she had never seen him losing his temper. Even when he was furious, he could still maintain his sense of reason and rationally handled things.

He spoke little, and he would always consider the feelings of the people around him when he spoke. He was completely different from Jefferson who would verbally attack everyone he met. Working with Zelson was pleasant.

Now that he was acting out of his character, there should be something that he couldn't reveal. If she gave him some time, he would definitely tell her the truth.

Thinking through all this, Adrienne put away her questions and curiosity. She nodded gently and said, "Then, I will prepare some materials and go with you in the afternoon."

After coming out of Zelson's office, Quill asked someone to call Adrienne to his office.

When they met, Adrienne saw that his expression was rather unnatural and instinctively knew why he was looking for her. "Sergeant Scott, if you are not going to tell me the truth about yesterday's case, then you don't have to tell me anything else."

"Adrienne..." Quill called Adrienne's name and took a deep breath. Soon after, he added, "Zelson has told you, right?"

Adrienne answered, "If there's nothing else, I will leave first and do my work."

"Wait a minute, Adrienne." Quill stopped Adrienne, who was about to leave, and informed her, "The evidence proved that the dead victim of Liley Park yesterday was the murderer of the case in the western suburbs a few days ago. He killed people. It was a life for a life; he deserved it. As for whether he committed suicide or was murdered, it was enough that the family members of the victim to be comforted. Other things are not so important."

"Sergeant Scott, it never occurred to me that I would hear such words from you since you're the head of Paramount Criminal Police Team." Adrienne knew that she was unable to change anything and did not want to say anything more. However, as a forensic doctor, she couldn't hold herself back. "If someone were to commit murder and other people directly killed the murderer, do you think that law is necessary for society?"

Quill helplessly cried out, "Adrienne..."

Adrienne tried her best to calm down. "Sergeant Scott, I'm sorry! I know that you have your difficulties, but I also have my persistence."

Quill continued, "Adrienne, some things are better left unknown. Don't think about inquiring about the truth that you want to know. If Zelson didn't protect you, you would not be able to clear your suspicion in this incident."

Adrienne was stunned. "Sergeant Scott, what do you mean by that?"

"Yes, we all know that you are not the murderer. You have never killed anyone, but there is no evidence to prove that you are not the murderer." At this point, Quill believed that Adrienne had understood. Thus, he signaled her to go out first.

Adrienne called out, "Sergeant Scott..."

Quill sighed. "Adrienne, it's a blessing that someone is willing to protect you. You should cherish this job and the person who is protecting you."

Adrienne did not want others to protect her. She would owe them a favor. People could pay off their debts in their lives, but they could never pay off favors.

Adrienne did not know how she walked out of Quill's office. She only felt that there was a heavy load on her chest, which made her feel suffocated for a while.

At the narcotics team headquarters of Chatterton Town.

Jefferson was still angry despite being so the whole morning.

Therefore, no one dared to approach his office. But, there were exceptions, just like Vincent who ran to him in a hurry.

Vincent broke into the office and shouted, "Boss, something happened."

Jefferson shot him an icy glare. "Look at you, all worked up. Is someone dead, or is there a fire?"

Vincent swallowed his saliva and replied, "Boss, you are right. Someone is dead. The drug dealer, AK, who was captured a few days ago, just committed suicide."

"What?" Jefferson immediately strode toward the cell where the prisoners were held. "I've asked you to keep an eye on him. Is that how you do your job?"

Vincent ran to catch up with Jefferson. While wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he admitted, "Boss, we kept an eye on him for twenty-four hours. I went on a toilet break. When I was back, he was dead."

They had just caught a drug dealer who knew insider information but he had committed suicide right under their nose. Jefferson was on the verge of exploding in anger as he asked, "How did he die?"

Vincent answered nervously, "He probably committed suicide by biting his tongue, but we need forensic doctors to confirm."

"Call Paramount Criminal Police Team and ask them to send the forensic doctor, Adrienne Carter, over." Although Jefferson was infuriated because of Adrienne, he still wanted to see her as long as there was a chance.

Vincent replied, "Yes."

Adrienne, while confused, received an order from her superior, asking her to rush to the Chatterton Town narcotics team headquarters to conduct an autopsy.

Upon receiving the order, Adrienne immediately kept her emotions checked and got prepared to work with a professional attitude.

Since there was a case for her, she could no longer go to the international forensic doctors' exchange conference with Zelson. Before departure, Adrienne went to explain the situation to Zelson.

Zelson's facial expression remained the same after hearing that. He asked her to work hard and added, "Adrienne, no matter what you have encountered, never forget why you started. Since you have your insistence, you should keep it up and don't let the people and things around you affect you."

"Mr. Zelson, thank you! I will work hard, please have trust in me. I believe I can do it and please believe me that I can do it too." After that, Adrienne smiled and bowed to Zelson, then turned and left.

After hearing Quill's words and adding them up with what Zelson had just mentioned to her, Adrienne understood that Zelson had done what he was unwilling to do for her.

He was reluctant to do so, but he did it for her... Adrienne shook her head and stopped ruminating. The current case was her priority.

Someone was already waiting for Adrienne at the door when she arrived at the narcotics headquarters. Adrienne had once followed Zelson over to settle some matters, but the person who received them was not the person in front of her currently.

The person who received her introduced himself as Vincent Baker. He smiled and greeted, "Dr. Carter, come with me."

"Thank you!" Adrienne then followed Vincent. After walking for a while, they stopped at the door. Vincent stood still and whispered in her ear, "Dr. Carter, my boss has a bad temper. If he says something bad about you later, please be understanding and don't argue with him."

As soon as Vincent finished his words, Adrienne saw the boss he was talking about. It was Jefferson, who people were eager to avoid.

His expression was grave and Vincent didn't dare to get close to him. It seemed that he had tortured his subordinates a lot.

Vincent introduced, "Dr. Carter, this handsome and cool man is our boss."
