Chapter 268 How Did They All Get Here?

Never expected this at all, it was quite surprising. How could two people who are worlds apart be

husband and wife?

Seeing that I didn’t speak, Captain Lucas wanted to say something else.

I spoke up directly, “Captain Lucas, it seems that this is not the first time Ms. Merchant has done this.

Perhaps this is her usual method of handling cases. Although I didn’t suffer much harm, I still want to

say that what she’s doing is illegal. Suspects are human beings, not animals. I don’t know how she got

away with this in the past, but I hope she will treat suspects as human beings. Otherwise, she will face

consequences sooner or later.”

I hadn’t originally planned to pursue this matter. It was just a matter of going hungry for a few days,

being cold for a few days. Five years ago in Fallwall, I had endured days much harder than this.

But still couldn’t help but remind Captain Lucas once.

Upon hearing this, Captain Lucas quickly nodded and looked at me, saying, “Mm-hmm, I will definitely

talk to her privately. After you go out and recuperate, she and I will invite you to dinner specifically to

apologize to you.”

I originally wanted to refuse, but after some thought, I didn’t say it.

After all, it was a person’s heartfelt intention.

It was the next morning that I learned I could leave. I had been here for almost half a month. When I

walked into the police station lobby, I felt a bit dazed, as if the night when Walter and I hurriedly came

here was just yesterday.

“Ms. Conner, Henry’s case has been settled. Thank you for your cooperation during this time,” Captain

Lucas said to me as he escorted

me out.

I looked at him, unable to resist saying, “Captain Lucas, you’ve thanked me four or five times along the

way. I’ve also said, if it weren’t for you guys, I might never have been able to shake off the identity of a

murderer in my lifetime.”

Seeing me speak like this, Captain Lucas chuckled and didn’t continue the topic. He just looked outside

and asked, “Will someone come to pick you up later? I can arrange for someone to take you home.”

I looked up at the blue sky outside, the weather in River City was particularly good that day, and the

sunshine was especially brilliant. I had been inside for too long without breathing fresh air, I couldn’t

help but greedily take a deep breath and said, “No need, I can take a taxi by myself…” I didn’t spit out

the last two words to go back.

The sight of the man standing outside the police station abruptly stopped.

“Mr. Hinton,” Captain Lucas was the first to speak, looking at Walter standing not far away and

laughing, “You’re here to pick up Ms. Conner, aren’t you?”

Walter gave a slight nod, his dark eyes turned towards me.

It seemed like a long time since they had last met, yet it also felt as if they had just seen each other.

Looking at the man in front of her, she had no idea how he had been doing these past few days. All she

knew was that he seemed subtly tired at the moment.

It seemed that the Ilinton Group had not been at peace during this period, or perhaps it was because of

me that he had been running around. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but mock myself. I, I thought

It seemed that the Hinton Group had not been at peace during this period, or perhaps it was because

of me that he had been running around. Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but mock myself. I, I thought

too highly of myself.

The tall, slender figure of the man stood before me, looking at me and said, “Are you hungry? Let’s go

eat.”

His words left me stunned for a few seconds, and I realized that his care and concern were often about

whether I was hungry or cold. Even when he occasionally sought me out to discuss matters, he would

always make sure I had eaten well before he spoke to me.

I didn’t realize it before, but looking back now, it was quite good. As for people, as long as they are full,

everything is solved.

When he asked me like this, I suddenly realized that I was indeed hungry. Having been cut off from

food by Hilda for several days, although Captain Lucas had tried to make up for it, I was still a bit

hungry at this moment.

“Um, a little!” I spoke, suddenly thinking of many things I wanted to All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

eat.

“Go to Urban Harvest Kitchen, there’s a lot of delicious food there.” The one who spoke was not Walter,

but Daniel who had just walked over. He was holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hands. He

walked up to me, his smile was very charming. He handed me the flowers and said, “The florist said

that girls will all like bubble roses.”

Looking at the flowers he handed over, I was somewhat taken aback. How did he get here?

“If you don’t take it, I’ll be very embarrassed, and, most likely, I’ll be on the headlines in a moment.”

Daniel leaned slightly towards me, Towering his voice.

At first, I didn’t understand what he meant, until I saw a group of people who had somehow appeared

at the entrance of the police station. These people were not blocking the entrance like last time, but

were standing far away, all holding cameras in their hands.

It was a journalist!
