How I Accidentally Married a Billionaire

Chapter 85: Chapter 85

An hour after Holly Sims finished the autopsy, she found that the victim indeed died from the object passing through the body, and there were no changes to the estimated time of death.

This was problematic.

All the evidence did indeed point to Keira Olsen.

She took a bite of a small bread roll, pondering the evidence, when it suddenly occurred to her—had Keira not eaten dinner tonight?

She quickly submitted the autopsy report and then took a few bread rolls and went downstairs.

But just as she reached the ground floor, she saw that someone was in the interrogation room.

...

She glanced casually, and through the monitor, she saw… Keira Olsen!

Holly Sims hurried over and saw that Keira’s amorous eyes were both red and swollen. She immediately panicked and burst into the interrogation room, turning off the light!!

The room darkened, but Keira’s eyes still stung somewhat.

She looked ahead in a daze, facing a white haze and unable to see clearly, only hearing Holly Sims’s angry interrogation, “What are you doing? Who gave you permission to interrogate her?!”

Captain Lincoln stood up, “It was me!”

Holly Sims glared at him, “Captain Lincoln, using torture is illegal!”

Captain Lincoln threw his cigarette onto the ground and crushed it with his leather shoe, “I was just shining a light; who’s fault is it that she won’t confess?”

Holly Sims’s face turned ashen, “Is there really a need to rush this, to interrogate her overnight?!”

Captain Lincoln scoffed, “If not an overnight interrogation, should we wait until they think of a way to collude on their story? I’ve received information that the person in there is a rich second-generation, and I bet that by now, a lawyer to arrange her bail is already here!”

Holly Sims frowned, “Don’t worry, she doesn’t meet the conditions for bail!”

Captain Lincoln said, “How does she not? These rich people love to contract all sorts of bizarre illnesses, don’t they? Just get a medical certificate from any hospital, and isn’t that enough? Haven’t you seen enough cases like this? What if she flees abroad? Who will be responsible for the victim then?!”

Holly Sims said forcefully, “Me!”

Captain Lincoln sneered, “You, responsible? How will you take responsibility?”

Holly Sims pointedly gestured to her uniform, “I’ll take responsibility with this uniform! Is that good enough?”

Captain Lincoln didn’t expect her to respond like that and fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, his phone rang. He looked at it and then, with a sneer, said, “Dr. Sims, you’re too young… Come with me!”

Holly Sims frowned and followed Captain Lincoln. Once they were out of the interrogation room, she spoke up, “Captain Lincoln, I know about the previous case you dealt with, where the rich second-generation claimed a heart condition to get bail and then fled abroad, leaving the case unresolved to this day. But you can’t generalize from one case. I don’t know about others, but Keira Olsen is definitely not that kind of person…”

Captain Lincoln turned back to look at her, “Is that so? But her lawyer is already in the lobby, I just got the news; they are arranging for bail on medical grounds…”

…

In the lobby, the lawyer was filling out the paperwork to apply for bail.

Samuel Morgan was anxiously following behind Lewis Horton, his mind racing: “Why did it have to be these couple of days! The boss has an illness each month that needs timely treatment!”

Lewis Horton furrowed his brows, “What kind of illness does she have exactly?”

Samuel Morgan sighed, “The boss has a severe case of iron-deficiency anemia!”

Iron-deficiency?

Lewis Horton suddenly remembered Keira Olsen’s WhatsApp name was “Lacking Iron in the Five Elements”—was this the reason?

Samuel Morgan said anxiously, “Do you think that iron-deficiency anemia is a minor illness that can be managed with regular supplements? The boss is different! Her condition is bizarre!”

Samuel Morgan sighed, “The boss’s anemia, medically, they haven’t found any cause yet. It’s just that her body is strange—it doesn’t absorb any iron at all. Therefore, she must receive iron infusions each month to forcibly get it into her system. Tomorrow is the usual day for her infusion…”

Lewis Horton’s brow tightened, “What if she can’t get the infusion in time?”

Samuel Morgan felt his jaw tense, “At the least, I’ll be shaking all over, my face will turn pale, I won’t have any strength, and I’ll feel dizzy and lightheaded. If it gets serious, I could even go into shock!”

If one goes into shock and doesn’t receive timely treatment, it could be life-threatening!

Mr. Horton’s expression turned grave.

He looked at the lawyer, “Get it done as soon as possible.”

But the lawyer’s face was filled with difficulty, “Mr. Horton, the procedures for bail pending trial are somewhat troublesome, and it’s the middle of the night now; the normal departments are off work. I’m afraid it can’t be done today, only tomorrow.”

Mr. Horton looked at Samuel Morgan.

Samuel nodded, “Tomorrow is fine. The boss always starts the IV two days in advance; the latest it should be done is the day after tomorrow.”

Mr. Horton breathed a sigh of relief.

The lawyer then made a request to see Keira Olsen, but was similarly refused on the grounds that visits were not allowed in the middle of the night, telling him to come back tomorrow.

Worried as they were, the group could only leave for the time being.

After they left, Holly Sims came over, her face stern, accompanied by Captain Lincoln.

Captain Lincoln said, “Show Dr. Sims the bail application for Keira Olsen.”

Holly Sims got the form and her eyes fell on the reason stated clearly above: due to severe iron-deficiency anemia, requiring timely intake of iron to sustain life, applying for bail pending trial.

Holly’s fists clenched tight.

Captain Lincoln glanced at it and scoffed, “Do you see? The friend you trusted didn’t even bother to make up a reason like heart disease, but rather used anemia as such a laughable excuse. Dr. Sims, you’re far too naive! These second-generation rich kids, they have no bottom line!”

Holly Sims felt her body trembling slightly, feeling deceived once again!

The little swindler had said that she trusted her, but then turned around to apply for bail on such a laughable pretext of anemia, completely playing her for a fool!

She took a deep breath and whirled around, striding towards the interrogation room.

Captain Lincoln followed her, “These rich second-generation kids all value their own lives; they commit all sorts of crimes and then look for every excuse. I have carefully looked into the case files, and it’s clear as day that she just didn’t want to be extorted for money by that uncle; that’s why she struck out at someone. Of course, it indeed was manslaughter; after all, who anticipates a steel bar jutting out from the ground!

My overnight interrogation was conducted entirely by the book. It’s only with overnight interrogation that the perpetrator doesn’t get time to think of ways to absolve themselves. And since she is your classmate, you gave her the Green Channel. Dr. Sims, both you and I know that the person who truly broke the rules is you! I know you have a soft heart and haven’t been in this line of work long. Don’t let her deceive you; otherwise, you might not even be able to keep wearing this uniform!”

Holly Sims tightened her jaw and quickened her steps, entering the interrogation room directly.

Keira Olsen’s eyes had already improved a lot by then; her hands were unbound, and someone had poured her a glass of water.

She had just taken a sip, moistening her chapped lips, when she saw Holly come in with a grimace on her face.

Her pretty face was taut, “Keira Olsen, you never truly trusted me from beginning to end, did you?”

Keira was taken aback, “Not at all.”

“Not at all?” Holly clenched her fists, “Then what is this bail pending trial that you’re processing? And lying about anemia—a thing that can be easily verified!”

It was then that Keira realized it was time for her IV and iron supplementation.

This matter had always been handled by Samuel, and she had nearly forgotten about it.

She looked down, “I really do have anemia.”

“You’re still lying!” Holly was almost driven to madness. Suddenly, she grabbed Keira’s hand, took out a lancet, pricked it, and collected some capillary blood.

Having completed this, she didn’t forget to use an alcohol swab to disinfect the site, then harshly dropped Keira’s hand.

She straightened up, “I’m going to check this right now. I hope you haven’t lied to me!!”
