Chapter 86: Chapter 86
Keira Olsen hurriedly said, “I…”
Before she could finish, Holly Sims had already turned and left.
Keira could only hear her speaking outside the door to Captain Lincoln, “Her condition is very poor. Even if you interrogate her overnight, don’t turn on that bright light.”
“Fine, I’ll do it for Dr. Sims’ sake.”
Keira silently sighed.
Just now, Holly Sims had vouched for her not to be released on bail, and Samuel Morgan immediately contradicted her, no wonder she was so angry.
...
Forget it.
Her body should be able to hold up for two more days. If Holly can find evidence to clear her name within two days, it’s better not to arrange for bail.
…
Upstairs.
Holly entered the equipment room and placed the blood drawn from Keira Olsen’s finger into the device.
Next, she waited for the device to analyze the contents of various elements in the blood, a process that would take twenty minutes.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from the detention center. She answered, and a voice came through, “Dr. Sims, I heard you were at the station, so I called you. There’s a patient here who’s feeling a bit ill; could you come and take a look?”
Holly immediately stood up, “I’ll be right there.”
Although a forensic doctor and a physician are not the same, she was still capable of handling minor ailments.
She put on her coat and left the room.
She quickly arrived at the detention center’s cell area.
This area housed suspects who had yet to be tried by the court, and some convicts serving sentences of less than three months.
Keira Olsen had just been detained in one of these solitary cells.
She walked a few steps forward to the cell door number mentioned by the guard who had called. She then put on a mask and gloves before entering the cell, asking in a cold tone, “Who’s feeling unwell?”
“I…”
A voice both strange and familiar made Holly frown slightly, and she turned to see a middle-aged woman in prison clothes, sitting there clutching her stomach and grimacing, “Little doctor, my stomach is killing me, can you take me out for a look…”
Holly was slightly startled.
This person… wasn’t she Poppy Hill, Keira Olsen’s mother?
Back in middle school, she had attended a parent-teacher conference for Keira!
She immediately approached, asking with concern, “Auntie, where are you uncomfortable?”
Poppy Hill was suspected of perjury, but because the circumstances were not severe, she had been sentenced to fifteen days of detention.
She grabbed Holly’s hand, “My stomach is killing me…”
Holly immediately pressed on her stomach, not underestimating, “Here? I’ll take you to the hospital!”
“Oh, don’t touch! It hurts to death…” Poppy Hill looked around, her face full of misery, “No need for the hospital, I just caught a chill. Little officer, take me to a single cell, I moan and groan here, disturbing others from resting…”
Holly immediately nodded, “Alright.”
As she helped Poppy Hill up, preparing to lead her out, someone else in the room suddenly shouted, “Ouch, my stomach is killing me too, officer, take me to a single cell too!”
The other prisoners immediately sneered:
“My stomach hurts too…”
“Hey, I’m different, I have a headache. Can I go sleep in a single sickroom?”
Holly: ?
She frowned and was about to speak when someone looked at Poppy Hill, “We all eat the same thing, how come only you caught a chill? You’ve been here for five days now, and you’ve been unwell for four of those days. What, are you a reincarnation of Sister Lin?”
“How come in our room, you’re in unbearable pain, but once you go to a single cell, you’re pain-free and can even snore?”
Holly’s frown deepened, as if she understood something and immediately looked at Poppy Hill.
She saw her expression stiffen, then she began to cry miserably, “I really am uncomfortable…”
Holly clenched her jaw, “Then I’ll take you to the hospital. If the examination shows there’s nothing wrong and it was all an act, I’m afraid you’ll have to stay a few more days…”
At this, Poppy Hill’s expression immediately tensed up.
She didn’t want to be detained any longer.
In here, every night these people either fart or pick their feet, and their sleeping postures varied wildly. On her first night, the noise kept her from sleeping at all.
So she thought of this plan.
Going to the hospital would just blow her cover, wouldn’t it?
Poppy Hill smiled ingratiatingly, “No need, no need, it’s just a minor illness, I’ll endure it, I’ll endure it…”
Holly Sims realized, “Auntie, were you faking it?”
Poppy Hill trotted over to her own bed, lifted the blanket, and crawled inside: “Hey, how can you, a cop, speak like that? How was I faking? I really had a stomach ache just now, and now it’s gone; what, you won’t let me get better…”
“…”
A few black lines crossed Holly Sims’ forehead!
The female convict nearby cursed angrily: “You really have some nerve, you old rascal, deceiving people like that!”
However, Poppy Hill retorted: “What am I compared to my daughter? I’m nothing! She deceived me so badly! That little slut, she won’t have a good end!”
Poppy Hill thought of her, and it made her teeth itch with hatred.
Who would have thought that the one faking the alimony was Dr. South?!
The words fell on Holly Sims’ ears, sounding grating.
She clenched her jaw, closed the prison door, and quickly went upstairs.
Soon, she obtained the recent blood test report, and upon seeing the data, her face darkened like water!
The iron level was normal!
She wasn’t anemic at all!
Fraud!
In that instant, Holly Sims was so angry that her whole body trembled. She went straight to the interrogation room downstairs and threw the blood report fiercely in front of Keira Olsen: “Keira Olsen, is it fun deceiving me repeatedly?!”
Keira Olsen didn’t look at the report but merely sighed, “I’m not anemic now, but it will happen in a couple of days.”
She had intended to say just that, but Holly Sims didn’t listen to her at all and left.
Keira Olsen’s anemia was strange.
Every time her menstrual period came, a significant amount of iron was lost, so it had to be replenished every month in advance.
Other times, as long as there was no bleeding, the iron levels were normal.
She had visited many hospitals for her condition, finally diagnosed with a rare genetic disease in the world.
Holly Sims obviously hadn’t heard of such things and found it laughable: “Do you think I’d believe these ghost stories? Keira Olsen, even if you are deceiving me, couldn’t you come up with a better excuse?!”
Keira Olsen weakly explained: “…I’m not deceiving you.”
“Not deceiving me? I’ve studied medicine for many years, and I’ve never heard of your condition!”
Keira Olsen pressed her lips together and fell silent.
Her condition was indeed strange; it was normal for Holly Sims not to believe.
Further discussion was pointless.
Seeing that she had abruptly closed up, rage surged from Holly Sims’ heart.
Seeing this, Captain Lincoln sighed, “Dr. Sims, she’s been like this all night, not saying a word. Let it go, I’ll have someone take her back to prison. Otherwise, our people will have to stay up all night, and we won’t get anything out of her…”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Holly Sims shouted angrily: “You guys leave, I’ll stay up with her! I want to see how many more incredible lies she can tell!”
Captain Lincoln: …
He coughed once, “Fine, then we’ll go to sleep. If she confesses anything, call us immediately.”
After the group left, only Keira Olsen and Holly Sims remained in the interrogation room.
Holly Sims sat opposite her, staring intensely at her: “Why lie? Why apply for bail, pretending there are some doubts that probably don’t even exist, are you just using me, trying to make me testify that you’re not the murderer?”
Keira Olsen said, “Rest assured, I won’t apply for bail.”
She didn’t want Holly Sims to become a target for Captain Lincoln, nor did she want Holly Sims to shed her uniform.
Holly Sims paused briefly, her eyes reddening even more: “You think by saying that, I will forgive you?!”
She turned away, wiping the corner of her eye.
Keira Olsen said nothing more.
The night deepened, and whether her period was approaching or it was just too late and she hadn’t rested, Keira Olsen felt a headache coming on, with a slight pain in her lower abdomen.
The night dragged on.
Until the next morning, Keira Olsen felt the dizziness intensifying…
Bad.
The lack of rest caused her period to come early, and she started to become anemic!
Holly Sims had not slept all night, her mind in turmoil.
As daylight broke, she glared fiercely at Keira Olsen, about to say a few more words, but then she saw her pale face, devoid of any color…
Holly Sims stood up suddenly, panicking: “Keira Olsen, what’s wrong with you?!”
What do you think?
