Hendrix kept silent. The atmosphere in the ward instantly turned awkward, especially for the two police officers. As the people in the ward were all renowned figures, they found it difficult to voice anything.
After a pause, one of the policemen looked at me and said, "Miss, come with us to record your statement. As for the specifics, we'll come to a decision after a thorough investigation."
I nodded, but Minnie was a little agitated. She stopped them and said, "You can't take Madam Arianna away without any evidence. Is this the way to handle a case?"
I sighed. In my heart, I knew that Minnie was worried that I would have a criminal record if I went to the police station which wouldn't be favorable for me.
I told her, "Minnie, it's alright. I'll go with them. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
I then made my way out of the ward. Since the moment I attacked Andrea, I never thought of running away.
"It isn't her!" Hendrix, who had been silent this whole time, yelled when I made it to the door of the ward.
Stumped, I then turned around subconsciously.
Andrea probably did not expect him to react like that. She suddenly widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief, shouting, "Hendrix, how can you do this? Do you know what you're doing?"
Surprisingly, not only Andrea was dumbfounded, even Nerissa was as well.
She narrowed her eyes, her lips pressed tightly.
"It just doesn't add up. Miss Burton got hurt in my house, but why would an outsider like her come to my house in the middle of the night? If my wife had the intention to hurt her, why would she choose such an obvious method to do so? When I arrived, the knife was in Miss Burton's hand."
A slap was heard. Andrea who had landed a slap across his face. She had already stopped crying and was looking askance at him, her head shaking incessantly. "Hendrix, how can you do this? How can you do this?" "Sir, we'll solve this matter privately. I'm the victim's father, and I will look into this properly. You needn't concern yourself with this." Pedro, who had not said anything all this while, also finally spoke.
