The Prison-Made Queen novel Chapter 588

Josiah wanted to say more, but seeing Hackett's attitude, he knew further words would be useless.

No matter what he said, Hackett wouldn't believe him and might even grow resentful.

Josiah was just utterly bewildered. What exactly did Fitch say to Hackett? To make his attitude toward Fitch change so drastically in such a short amount of time was baffling.

However, this entire ordeal made one thing clear to Josiah: Fitch was absolutely not a simple man! Sooner or later, he was going to catch him slipping.

Meanwhile, after being discharged from the hospital, Leilani was gradually getting back to her career. Her days consisted of seeing patients, taking consultations, squeezing in dates with Callahan, and occasionally grabbing coffee and chatting with friends.

But it seemed the heavens weren't content to let Leilani have too much downtime.

She had only enjoyed a few carefree days before receiving an assignment from Floyd Dillon.

Because Floyd was currently abroad researching a crucial project and hadn't yet returned, a few tricky cases back home in their medical network were left unattended. Faced with this situation, Floyd had no choice but to ask Leilani to step in.

Although Leilani was young, she was steady and reliable. She had previously worked as an external member of their medical team, so verifying her credentials was easy.

Upon hearing the request, Leilani gladly agreed. After all, Floyd had helped her a lot with Payton's issue in the past, and one good turn deserves another. Now that Floyd was calling in a favor, she naturally felt obliged to help, especially since she wasn't too busy.

After listening to Floyd's brief overview, Leilani immediately set off for the address he had given her.

Not expecting to run into him here either, Leilani gave a slight nod.

Ethan strode over quickly, lowering his voice. "Are you the specialist Mr. Dillon called in?"

"Yeah." It was working hours, so Leilani preferred to keep things brief and efficient. She didn't like small talk while on the clock.

After her curt reply, her gaze shifted to the bed. "What's the patient's condition?"

Ethan frowned, explaining the situation to her. "This is a key suspect in a major case we've been investigating recently. For some unknown reason, he suddenly suffered a seizure during interrogation, which lasted for quite some time. Unlike other epilepsy patients, his tremors were extremely violent. In the end, it took several of my colleagues and me using all our strength to strap him down. The doctor had to give him a sedative before he finally calmed down."
