Gavin's appearance was very similar to that of Grayson. I could never have told them apart.I asked Atlas, "If both of them are together, can you tell them apart?"Atlas confidently replied, "That's the understanding between us!"I scoffed and gave him a sidelong glance. "If I spend enough time with them, I can do that too!"Everyone laughed.Sean hurriedly showed up shortly after, and Atlas formally introduced them.Sean remarked, looking slightly uncomfortable, "How can I lead the team like this? I'm worthless in comparison to all of you!"His words provoked laughter from everyone.Even I was somewhat surprised. It turned out that Gavin and the others were such elite soldiers.Sean's words lightened the mood. I knew precisely what Sean felt embarrassed about, indicating that Atlas's subordinates were formidable.Sean didn't let up and cleared his throat. "Since Mr. Atlas has called you all here for this case, I apologize for the inconvenience. Even if I'm useless, I won't b
I saw Finn's hand bleeding profusely, so I wanted to bring him to the hospital. But he kept insisting that he didn’t want to go, claiming that the pain made him feel at ease.I forced him to go to the hospital with Lauren.In the car, he looked pained and said to me, "I like Beatrice. I've liked her since we were teenagers."Finn's words didn't surprise me at all."How did you meet her?" I asked Finn as I drove.Finn leaned back in his seat with a grim expression and said in a low voice, "We went to the same school. She's three years older than me. I started school early, so she was only two years above me"In high school, I had a year with her before she left for college. I hoped to finish high school quickly, then take the same college entrance exam as her and go to Foswood."Finn's words were naive, revealing his enduring affection. After all these years, he remained true to his feelings, which was rare to see these days.Lauren listened attentively but didn't interrupt."B
When Finn heard my question, he abruptly turned to me and asked, "I haven’t. Will that make a difference?""We can’t miss any details!" I asserted seriously.Finn said, "I'm frustrated with myself. I'm so useless. I can't even save the woman I love."I tried to visit the mental hospital almost every year, attempting to see her. But they would never allow any visits, claiming her condition was severe. Once, Hazelyn caught me and sternly warned that if I dared go there again, Jaxford Doors would vanish from Gerby."Finn clenched his teeth tightly."And she did cause a lot of trouble for Jaxford Doors. That's the real reason my dad hates Byron. Later, my dad gave me an earful because our company was being threatened, and I had no choice but to wait for the right moment. But I...""Does your father know... that you like Beatrice?" I asked cautiously.Finn lowered his head in silence for a moment, then nodded. "He found out later. It was after the Chandler family tried to make troubl
I grew anxious. "Why can’t we find her? Maybe you’re not sure what she looks like anymore?”Finn nodded confidently. "I'm sure. I remember the nurse very clearly."Sean also questioned the file clerk. "Are you sure all the nurse records are here?"The employee nodded. "Yes, they're all here."We all felt disappointed. Just then, an older file clerk approached and asked the junior one, "What's going on?""They're here to check the nurse records," the junior clerk responded.The senior file clerk looked at us. "Where are you from?"Sean showed his credentials, and after a quick inspection, the senior file clerk asked the junior one, "What about the ones who were transferred or resigned? Did you show them to the officer?"The junior clerk seemed unsure. "I didn’t know about those. These are the ones I found."The senior file clerk immediately said, "Please wait. There are some missing nurse records from this file."She turned and walked into the file room. After a while, she ret
In fact, my confidence wasn’t unfounded. When I entered her home, I was convinced that her life must have been a hard one.She looked at me, asking skeptically, "Can you really set things right?""We can." This time, it was Sean who answered."No matter how many years have passed, if someone has committed a crime, they must face the consequences, no matter how difficult it may be," Sean told her. "I didn't make this up. It's a statement from the top authorities in our province. They granted me the power to handle this case. That's why I went through so much trouble to find you."When Maisy heard that Sean was telling the truth, she let out a wail. "Thank the heavens. Finally, there's hope for me."After expressing her emotions through her tears, she quickly ushered us into her home. The place was destitute. It was barely a home.Feeling embarrassed, she gestured for us to take a seat, then choked up as she continued to tell us what happened."You're saying Beatrice was harmed?"
"But I saw her acting furtively, and her face turned red. I thought for sure that the woman had asked her to do something and had given her something in return. That's why she didn't want anyone to know. In reality, everyone does something like that."Since we weren't on the same shift, I didn't pay much attention to it. But as I was leaving, the head nurse and a doctor came looking for her. She hurriedly took something out of her pocket and stuffed it into her locker in the changing room. She was in a rush, so she didn't lock it properly. Those lockers had locks, and she had only secured one latch before rushing out."I felt like I was right there, seeing the nurse's anxious demeanor.Maisy continued, "It was partly my fault. I was curious, and since everyone was gone, I quickly returned, opened her locker, and checked what she had put inside."I thought to myself, curiosity could be fatal. I didn't know if she thought it was tragic. Maybe it was just fate."Sure enough, it was s
"Natasha Roy," Maisy stated. "But as far as I know, she's no longer working in the hospital. I suspect she colluded with the Chandler family to file a complaint against me."So, I was framed and accused of administering the wrong medication to a patient. This is impossible. As a nurse with ten years of experience, such a thing would never happen!"Maisy presented her reasons as if fearing I wouldn't believe her.I nodded. "What happened afterward?"Maisy paused, seemingly reliving a nightmare. Hesitantly, she said, "But that day, the patient’s condition suddenly deteriorated. After rescuing them, it was revealed that they were my patient. They claimed I administered the wrong medication. I was arrested and detained for days."Maisy wiped her eyes and sniffed. "I could never make such a mistake. I always double-checked the injections with great caution. It's absolutely impossible!"Then she looked up abruptly at Sean. "Then, someone threatened me. The patient's family sought me ev
Finn's offer astonished not only Maisy but all of us. I had considered suggesting to Maisy that she come to Foswood after the case was resolved. I didn't expect Finn to beat me to it.My impression of him had been improving steadily. He was a responsible and thoughtful man, and this arrangement was indeed the best.After Finn spoke, he looked at Sean and explained, "It's safer for her to come to my place. I'm not at ease if she stays here.”Maisy couldn't believe her ears. She stared at Finn in disbelief. "Jaxford Doors? I..."I encouraged her, “You should go. You'll find something you can do there.”"I'm willing... I can do anything, and I'll do it well." Maisy kept repeating, as if afraid that Finn might retract his promise.Sean nodded, gave Finn a pat on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you, Finn. Let's go with this plan. You take her there, and I'll return to the hospital to find Natasha's records."After saying this, he stood up, and pressed a button on his phone. I noticed
