The rest of the blood report was normal, but the iron level had dropped drastically to a terrifyingly low level!

Holly had never seen such poor data in a living person before.

With the report in her hand, she walked numbly back to the ward.

The atmosphere was tense.

Many police surrounded the ward, and Samuel held onto Captain Lincoln without letting go.

On their way here, Captain Lincoln had tried countless times to escape from Samuel’s hold, but this unreliable-looking guy didn’t give him an opportunity.

Seeing Holly approaching, Captain Lincoln said, “Samuel Morgan, the medical report is out. If you continue to hold me hostage, you’ll no longer be forgiven. Our snipers are ready. As soon as it’s confirmed that the suspect isn’t sick, they can immediately kill you all! I advise you to put down your gun and surrender right now!”

Samuel scolded him, “Quit pretending!”

Captain Lincoln was furious. “Dr. Sims, since these people are stubborn, tell everyone what the medical results are! So, these people can stop pretending! Can anemia really cause death?”

Everyone immediately looked at Holly.

She tightened her jaw and said solemnly, “Keira’s iron levels are abnormal, and her life is in danger! Captain Lincoln, we made a mistake.”

Captain Lincoln was stunned. “What?”

Holly stepped forward and showed the report to Captain Lincoln. “The normal level of iron in a female’s blood is 7.8-32.2|jmol/L. However, Keira’s iron level is just 1, which means she has a severe iron deficiency, and her life is in danger!”

Captain Lincoln was dumbfounded.

Then, a reprimanding voice suddenly drowned in.

“What’s going on? Shouldn’t she get a drip yesterday? Why is she only getting iron infusion now?”

Everyone turned to look, and a gentle-looking man around thirty with gold-rimmed glasses walked toward them.

He was wearing a white lab coat and looked at Samuel with a grim face. “She can’t remember the time, but did you forget it too?”

Feeling guilty when scolded, Samuel looked at Holly. “It’s all because of this forensic doctor. She kept insisting that Keira was fine, even after Keira fainted!”

With growing anger, he said, “Do you need a person to die before agreeing that there is something wrong?”

Being reproved, Holly clenched her fists, so embarrassed that she wished she could crawl into a hole.

She looked into the ward.

Keira was getting the drip. Her face was pale, and she looked lifeless.

Holly felt like crying.

Why didn’t she trust Keira?

She slapped herself out of anger, with tears welling up in her stubborn eyes. “It was my fault.”

Samuel didn’t know what to say.

He hadn’t expected his words to bring the young woman to tears, which also stopped him from saying any more hurtful words. He then turned to Captain Lincoln. “Isn’t it because you have a stereotype against rich kids? Just because some rich kids got away in past cases, does that mean all rich kids are bad people? Let me tell you this: because we are rich, we haven’t encountered any trouble since we were little, so we have even more principles when doing things!”

Captain Lincoln’s mouth twitched.

Samuel felt it was not enough. Along the way, he had been sacred of Captain Lincoln snatching the gun. If that happened, he would fail to save his boss, and they would also be in danger of being thrown in jail.

Therefore, he raised his voice even more. “If you hadn’t refused to let her go, would we have done this? We are all lawful citizens!

“You still want to use snipers on us now? Here! Aim at me!”

He handed the gun back to Captain Lincoln, pointing at his own chest, saying, “Kill me with one shot! Go ahead! Shoot! If my boss dies because of you, I don’t want to live either!”

Captain Lincoln didn’t know what to say.

The officers around them were all dumbfounded.

Looking at the gun in his hand, Captain Lincoln glanced at the situation in the ward, still somewhat puzzled. “But how could someone be so severely anemic?”

The police officer following him was also confused. “Yes, her blood report was normal just yesterday, and today she suddenly got worse. In games, health bars drop gradually. Why did her health suddenly plummet, just like a character with a tiny health bar?”

Samuel couldn’t believe what he heard.

He twitched his mouth and was about to reprimand the two when Holly spoke. “What disease does she have?” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Her voice was full of worry, and Samuel felt bad about scolding them.

Upon hearing that, Matthew, the doctor, frowned, “Didn’t I tell you already? She has genetic iron-deficiency anemia. It’s a rare condition. Her body doesn’t absorb any iron. She has to solely rely on drips.”

Holly anxiously asked, “How could she have such a condition? I haven’t heard about it before!”

Matthew adjusted his glasses, and his nice-looking eyes were piercing behind the lenses. He calmly said, “Have you heard of all the diseases in the world? Even if you don’t believe it, when she became ill, didn’t she have all sorts of symptoms? You didn’t notice?”

Holly lowered her head. “I’m sorry.”

Matthew said, “What use is your apology to me? You should apologize to the person inside.”

Holly tightened her jaw and looked into the ward, but she didn’t dare to go in.

She hesitated for a long time and finally just stood outside.

Matthew had already entered the ward.

As soon as he entered, he saw Lewis standing next to the bed.

Lewis slowly turned his head. Their eyes met, and none of them spoke for a while.

Lewis’s deep gaze scanned Matthew, and he soon noticed the latter’s special feeling toward Keira.

He asked with a displeased tone, “And you are?”

“Her attending doctor.”

After Matthew said this, he added, “And also her godbrother.”

Lewis’s pupils abruptly contracted.

After a while, he stood up, and extended his hand to Matthew with a smirk on his face. “Hello, Godbrother.”

Matthew frowned, “I’m her godbrother.”

“And mine as well,” Lewis said in a light tone, but his presence was overwhelming. “We’re husband and wife, after all.”

“Husband and wife?!”

Matthew stiffened suddenly.

“She didn’t tell you? Then I apologize to you on her behalf,” Lewis said in a deep voice.

Matthew was shocked.

Keira felt that she had slept for a very long time. In her dream, she became younger, returning to the way she was when she was three years old.

She was looking out of a basement window, watching Isla running around outside in a beautiful dress, while Mrs. Olsen gently wiped off Isla’s sweat.

Suddenly, the door creaked open.

Poppy walked in.

Keira shivered.

Poppy’s vicious eyes landed on her. Following Keira’s gaze, she saw the scene outside and walked over, grabbed Keira’s hair, and brutally pushed her head into a basin of water next to her.

Keira heard Poppy’s voice in and out of the water as if it was coming from a far-off distance….

“What are you looking at?

“My daughter should live like a princess, and you’re only fit for a sewer! You belong in the drainage!”
