The moment the elevator doors closed tightly, Hank remarked, “That Lydia, she has a strong smell of medicine on her. It seems like she’s been hurt quite badly, right? Ms. Leach, you must have smelled it too, right?”

As soon as Cherise finished speaking, Edmund exclaimed excitedly, “I told you Ms. Leach is amazing. She’s truly remarkable, even identifying the ingredients in the ointment on her body.

“Exactly.” Edmund didn’t hold back any information.
