Chapter 323
“Silly girl. Why are you so worried? Conrad’s a man. If he doesn’t want to, no one can force herself on him, right?”
“Eileen, you didn’t know what happened. She’s drugged him before. If she had increased the dose..”
The more Fia thought about it, the more worried she became.
Eileen became serious and said, “Why not get someone else to visit him?”
“Who? Who can visit him?”
About twenty minutes later, at the police station.
Jason walked into the station wearing his coat and carrying a medical kit.
“I want to see Conrad Maxwell!”
When the officer responsible for registration saw Jason, he said, “He’s not available to be visited as he’s our prime suspect for a case.”
Jason slammed the medical kit on the table and said, “I’m his attending physician and I’m telling you that he has severe gastrointestinal perforation! Without treatment, he’ll die from shock and bleeding at any time! Also, he had just been injured a few hours ago by a pedicab and he has severe external and internal injuries!
The officer looked at Jason numbly, and then at the nurse wearing a mask behind him.
“The accident with the pedicab had been reported to your station as well. You can check it right now.”
The officer was shocked by how intimidating Jason was and so he gave it a check. Only then did he realize it was true… And the person that the pedicab ran into was Mr. Maxwell and his wife.
While the person above him told him not to release him on bail and that no one was allowed to visit him, they never said anything about not letting a doctor treat him.
Not to mention that he was the leader of Gryphon’s business world!
If he died during his watch, he would be in a lot of trouble.
That police then led Jason and the nurse to the interrogation room where Conrad was, but when he opened the door, there was no one inside.
“That’s strange… Mr. Maxwell should be in here!”
“Where is Esme Manning then?” the nurse wearing the mask asked.
Jason turned around and gave her a look before saying, “I’m also her attending physician because of her injuries. Might as well check up on her.”
“Oh? But you aren’t the doctor that came earlier!”
“He’s my colleague,” Jason said as he showed him his work pass.
“Huh… Fine, I’ll take you to Ms. Manning’s room first.”
The officer knew that Esme was the assistant director’s family, so he was told to take good care of her.
Once they reached Esme’s room, the officer felt uneasy again.
“Who locked the door from the outside?” He mumbled as he took out the key and unlocked the door.
When the door opened, a strange scent wafted out from inside.
Jason immediately gave the nurse a handkerchief. “Cover your nose and mouth!”
He also grabbed a handkerchief to cover his nose and mouth.
The three of them carefully looked around and found only Esme.
The officer was shocked. “Ms. Manning! Who tied you up in bed?!”
Jason and the nurse looked at Esme. She had been tied with the bed sheets, no less.
“Doctor, can you give her a look? She doesn’t look alright!”
The officer had just untied the upper part of her when she extended her hand toward him. He was so scared that he took a few steps back.
“She’s fine!” Jason said and grabbed the nurse’s wrist and said, “Let’s go. He’s not here.”
The nurse then looked at the washroom’s door.
Jason followed her eyes and looked over. “Wait outside. I’ll go take a look inside.”
There was the sound of water rushing as Conrad slammed his fist on the wall. He was completely wet.
When the door was opened, he didn’t even bother turning around and simply cursed, “Just you wait! I’ll show you once I get out!”
“What are you going to do? And to whom? You’re a failure.”
“It’s you!” Conrad looked at him angrily when he heard a familiar voice.
