"Alright. Let's transfer the patient to the custodial ward.” The doctor nodded and turned around to instruct the nurses to move the patient.

Francis and another police officer followed him behind.

Luke followed them too. However, unlike the doctors and nurses, who were in a hurry, or the police officers who were following behind them, he maintained some distance from them.

He held his phone and updated Jack about Leia's current situation, ensuring that the couple would not be too worried about her.

He had no idea if Jack would worry about Leia, but Queenie would certainly be concerned about her.

After Leia was brought to the hospital's designated custodial ward, Jack and Queenie hastily rushed over.

Luke had officially completed his task. He turned to look at Queenie. "Mom, please hand me her identification documents. We'll need to handle the hospital admission procedures."

He had already informed them about Leia's situation through text, so it was only natural to complete the admission formalities.

The police would not be covering Leia's medical expenses even if she was in the custodial ward.

Queenie's face turned pale. She immediately nodded and took out Leia's identification documents and her bank card when she heard what he said. "Luke, please help with the payment when you handle the procedures."

She did not want to trouble Luke, but she had yet to recover her composure. She felt as though her feet were floating. She would have likely stumbled if it were not for Jack gently holding her by her side.

"I'll take care of it." Luke nodded and walked away to handle Leia's hospital admission.

The doors of the ward were pushed open once again. Francis came out when he heard that Jack and his wife had arrived at the hospital. He greeted Jack, "Mr. Norman, I apologize for having you come to the hospital at such a late hour. I'm Francis Brown, the police officer who's in charge of this case. We spoke on the phone during the day." "I know." Jack nodded, indicating that he had not forgotten Francis. Then, he asked, "What happened to her?" "Ms. Norman tried to kill herself by hitting on a wall in the detention room. The doctors have treated her injuries, but she still needs to be hospitalized for observation.” Francis thought he was being asked about Leia's condition. Hence, he answered in detail.

"Has she confessed?" Jack was asking about this. Even though it was a question, he knew that Leia would not have easily admitted guilt.
