The man understood Karen's urgency but still shook his head helplessly.

If she were to go to Luke without any other evidence, would he really admit it? Even if Luke did do it, he probably would not foolishly confess without sufficient proof pointing to him, right?

Silas wanted to lie down again but was forcibly lifted. "Ah, it hurts..."
