There was dead silence in the ward.

Jack waited for a while for Luca, but she did not come in. He spoke, “Luke, can you please check on Luca to see if she's done giving the statement?"

Luke did not move as he replied, "Father, she'll come here after it's done."

Jack kept quiet.

"Luca has to make a detailed statement. That's why she's taking a long time. She's worried about you. She'll be here later," added Luke.

"Okay." Jack closed his eyes and recalled what had happened.

Leia and Luca were both their daughters. Luca tried her best to protect Jack and Queenie, while Leia...

Jack remembered Leia screaming weirdly. It was because of Leia's scream that made him and Queenie suffer.

Leia was hiding behind the sofa. She was safe. However, judging from the way she screamed and how she caught those men's attention, it seemed like she did it on purpose...

"The security alarm went off when that happened," said Jack. To make sure that the alarm system would still work when there was no electricity supply, not only was the alarm system connected to the wires but they were connected to the solar panel system too.

The solar panel system would start working once the power was cut off. That was why there was no way the alarm system would malfunction or fail to restart after the power was cut.

"Father, stop thinking about it. Gale and Rain will look into it." Luke knew Jack was recalling what happened just now. He said in a low voice, "Get some rest."

Jack fell silent again.

It was probably because of the dizziness, but it also seemed like the medicine's effects had kicked in. Jack felt sleepy, and his thoughts were sluggish and fuzzy. He could not figure things out now.

Jack closed his eyes and fell deeply asleep.

10 minutes later, the ward door was pushed open as Luca came in. "Mr. Crawford, is Mr. and Mrs. Norman awake?"
