86 Anemia

Keira hurriedly said, “I…”

Before she could finish speaking, Holly had already turned around and left.

Keira could only hear her speaking to Captain Lincoln outside the door. “Her condition isn’t very good. Even if we must interrogate her throughout the night, can we do it without using the light?”

“Alright, out of respect for Dr. Sims.”

Keira sighed quietly.

Holly had vouched for her, saying that she wouldn’t released on bail. Samuel immediately rebutted Holly was no wonder she was so angry.

Never mind.

She should be able to keep up with the demands that her condition put on her body for another two days. If Holly could find evidence to prove her innocence within those two days, perhaps she shouldn’t apply for bail after all.

Upstairs.

Holly entered the equipment room and placed the blood sample she had drawn from Keira’s finger into the machine.

Now all she could do was wait for the machine to analyze the various elements in the blood. This would take twenty minutes.

At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.

The call was from a detention center. She picked up and heard a voice from the other side. “Dr. Sims, we heard you’re at the station and decided to give you a call. We have a patient here who isn’t feeling well. Could you come and take a look?”

Holly immediately stood up. “I’ll be right there.”

Even though a forensic doctor and a medical doctor weren’t the same, she could still diagnose minor

illnesses.

She put on her coat and left.

She soon arrived at the detention center.

This place held suspects who hadn’t been tried by the court and some prisoners with sentences of less than

three months.

Keira had just been placed in a solitary cell here.

Holly took a few steps forward and arrived at the cell door indicated by the guard who had called. She then put on a mask and gloves, stepped inside the cell, and coldly asked, “Who’s not feeling well?”

“It’s me…”

An unfamiliar yet familiar voice made Holly slightly frown. She turned her head and saw a middle-aged woman in a prison uniform, sitting there with her hands on her belly and an expression of pain on her face. “Doctor, my belly hurts so bad. Can you help

me…”

Holly was taken aback.

Wasn’t this woman Poppy Hill, Keira’s mother?

She had once attended a parents’ meeting for Keira in middle school!

Holly immediately walked over and asked with concern, “Auntie, what’s the matter?”
