On the other hand...
A patient with blood all over his head was brought to the emergency department of the general
hospital.
As soon as the doctor and nurses saw the patient being wheeled in, they immediately sprang into
action to save him.
The outpatient nurse noticed that the patient was still wearing handcuffs. She could not help but pause
for a moment. "What''s going on? The handcuffs need to be removed."
Francis, who was nearby, took out the key and stepped forward to unlock the handcuffs. However, for
safety reasons, he still handcuffed one of the patient''s hands to the bed. "Her name is Leia Norman.
She''s an important suspect, and she got injured from hitting a wall."
The nurse frowned. The name sounded familiar. "What about her identification card?"
"There''s no identification card, but please save her first," replied Francis. He was just about to finish his
shift, but the police officer from the detention center rushed out and said they needed to call an
ambnce.
When he went in to check, he found out that Leia hit herself on the wall.
The impact seemed to have drained all her strength. It even left a small dent in the wall. Leia was seen
on the ground with blood streaming down her face.
Francis dared not to leave work. She was the daughter of the Norman family. Even if it was eventually
confirmed that she hadmitted a crime, they could not let anything happen at the police station.
Otherwise, they would all be held ountable.
Therefore, he followed the ambnce to the hospital.

"She doesn''t look too good. We can''t check her medical history if there''s no identification card. Who will
take responsibility if anything happens when we''re rescuing her?" The doctor beside them noticed that
Leia''splexion was not just the result of excessive blood loss.
It was more like she already had some underlying condition...
If she had any preexisting conditions, they dared not to administer medication without caution.
Francis furrowed his brows as he suddenly recalled Leia''s extremeck of cooperation earlier. Then, he
said, "She was admitted to your hospital not long ago. Can''t you find her records by searching her
name?"
The nurse next to him looked at Leia''s bloodied face and furrowed her brows. "There are too many
people with the same name and surname. Which department was she in?"
The doctor examined Leia''s wound, which, although bloody, was not very deep. Considering she had
hit a wall, the doctor made a decision. He turned to the nurse and said, "Go and find out her identity. It
would be best if her family members coulde to the hospital as well. The rest of you, push her to the
CT scan room. She needs a brain CT scan to confirm if there''s any head injury."
After the doctor said that, a few nurses worked together to push Leia toward the CT scan room.
As Francis watched them move Leia away, he thought of calling his colleague who had previously
taken Leia''s statement to inquire which department she had been admitted to. However, he saw the
doctor turning back and reaching out his hand. "We can''t do the CT scan with the handcuffs on. Can
one of youe and unlock them?"
Francis handed the key to his colleague who came along with him and said, "Go. Make sure she
doesn''t escape."
"Alright." The police officer took the key and followed the doctor out.
The nurse, who stood beside, urged him, "Officer, can you remember which department she was in?"
"Let me make a phone call to confirm that," replied Francis as he picked up his phone and called his
colleague, disregarding whether the person was off duty at this time. Right now, his priority was to
ensure Leia''s safety.
He confirmed that Leia had been in the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department and ryed the information
to the nurse.
The nurse suddenly realized and replied, "No wonder I found this name familiar. She''s Mr. Norman''s
daughter, right?"
Leia''s name had already echoed throughout various departments of the hospital. The doctors in the
Hepatobiliary Surgery Department, especially her attending physician,ined endlessly after
receiving Leia as a patient.
Meanwhile, doctors and nurses from other departments were relieved that Leia was not under their
care. Otherwise, they would also be in the same unfortunate situation.
After confirming Leia''s identity, the nurse quickly walked to the nurses'' station to retrieve her medical
records. Then, she hurriedly made her way to the CT scan room.
Francis followed along.
The nurse saw him following behind her and said, "You must notify her family about this. It''s fine if
there''s nothing serious. But if her head is injured and she requires surgery, her family will have to sign
the consent form. Brain surgery can''t be dyed."
Francis nodded in agreement. He would do what the nurse told him. After all, it was their negligence
that allowed Leia to hit the wall, which was beyond their expectations.
They thought Leia valued her own life.
However, they never expected that Leia could be so cruel to herself.
"I''ll notify them right away," said Francis as he followed the nurse to the CT scan room. He took out his
phone and dialed Jack''s number.
The phone''s ringtone echoed in the studyte at night.
Jack was reading the documents rted to a tender. Before he could rest, his phone rang. He took off
his sses and answered the call.
Francis'' name appeared on the phone screen.
When Francis first contacted him, they exchanged numbers with each other. It was to make it
convenient for him to contact Jack if there was any cooperation needed.
However, Jack had a bad feeling about receiving a call from Francis at this hour.
Francis was an experienced police officer. He would never call him at a time like this without a reason.
He pressed the answer button. "Yes, this is Jack Norman."
"Mr. Norman, Ms. Norman knocked her head on the wall while she was detained and is currently
undergoing emergency treatment at the general hospital. The situation is unclear at the moment, and
she''s still undergoing examinations. I''m sorry, but can youe over?" Francis could not be bothered
to consider the fact that calling Jack at this hour might disturb him. After all, he could not afford to let
anything happen to Leia.
"I''m on my way," Jack replied calmly without thinking much.
Leia hitting a wall was beyond his expectations.
Leia had the greatest fear of pain...
After ending the call, Jack prepared to call his driver. It was toote at night, and he seldom drove the
car himself. Drivingte at night was dangerous. It showed irresponsibility toward the citizens, as well
as toward himself.
After he asked the driver toe, he pondered for a moment and decided to inform Luke as well.
Even though Luke did not like Leia, as the son-inw of the Norman family, it would be quicker for him
to go to the hospital than Jack, who had to wait for the driver to arrive.
Leia''s condition might be dangerous at the moment. He could not dwell on it too much.
After the call connected, Jack went straight to the point. "Luke, I need you to go to the hospital right
away. Leia hit her head on the wall at the police station. She''s currently undergoing emergency
treatment there. You''re closer to the hospital than I am, so please head there now. I''ll have to wait for
the driver to arrive."
Luke''s current residence was closer to the hospital than Jack''s.
"Alright. I''m on my way," replied Luke without a second thought.
As Jack stood up to get dressed after ending the call, he noticed Queenie was standing by the door.
Her face was pale white, and she was holding a tray.
When did she arrive? Jack was too engrossed in his conversation on the phone, and Leia''s situation
had distracted his thoughts. He did not notice Queenie''s footsteps.
A bowl of oats rested on the tray, still steaming. It was ate-night supper that Queenie had prepared
for him.
"Dear, did something really happen to Leia?" Queenie''s body wavered. Her footsteps were unsteady as
she weakly leaned against the doorframe, preventing herself from toppling over.
