Chapter 759: Ma’am, Stop Talking

"Dad!"

"Mr. Dyer!"

Four voices rang out at the same time.

Hannah let out a faint sound from her throat, her half-closed eyes struggling to open wider. Her condition was no better than Joseph Dyers'. The fact that she had held on for this long was already a miracle. But now, seeing her husband collapse, the old woman couldn't catch her breath. Her legs gave out, and she too began to fall.

Though he usually followed the deputy captain's orders, everyone in the station knew how upright and unyielding Captain Gill was. If the captain found out he had deliberately turned the air conditioning down to freezing levels, his career at the station would be over.
