Chapter 93: Chapter 93
Keira Olsen unlocked her phone, found the Weibo app, and clicked into Josh’s Weibo hopage, indeed seeing him in the photo.
But Josh had misunderstood, “I didn’t expect you to know , but even if you know my work address and company, and use authority to pressure the company to fire , I won’t compromise!”
He took a step forward and continued,
“Ms. Keira once said, ‘If every journalist were to protect their own safety, then many truths in this world would be covered up.'”
“Even if I can’t be a journalist anymore, there are thousands and thousands of journalists who will stand up! Don’t think the things you do can be hidden forever!”
Keira Olsen: “…”
...
Listening to these sowhat lodramatic words, she twitched the corner of her mouth, “Just graduated from college, right?”
Josh nodded, “Yes, what about it?”
“No wonder you’re so naive.”
Josh: “…”
He couldn’t help but glance at Keira Olsen, as if she was implying she wasn’t the sa.
anwhile, Captain Lincoln grabbed his arm, “Alright, this is a hospital room, leave now.”
He threw Josh’s phone back to him, then grabbed his arm and led him straight out the door.
Only then did Keira Olsen turn to look at Holly Sims.
But she saw the other party imdiately avoid her gaze after she looked over, her pretty face tense, the whole person sowhat uncomfortable, and then she said, “I, I have sothing to do, I’ll step out.”
And then she quickly left the room.
Keira Olsen chuckled softly.
The prim and proper one was still the sa, strong-willed and showing guilt when doing sothing wrong.
But in fact, she didn’t bla her.
This iron-deficiency anemia was indeed rare and uncommon, so much so that probably few would believe it if spoken out loud. When Holly Sims heard of anemia, her complexion remained normal, and she even went for a routine blood test, which was already much better than most.
While she was pondering, Samuel Morgan suddenly asked, “Boss, do you know who the murderer is?”
Keira Olsen raised her eyebrow but didn’t speak.
Samuel Morgan chuckled, “Hey, Josh is live streaming again!”
Keira Olsen was taken aback and looked at Samuel Morgan’s phone.
Josh had just been live streaming on Weibo, and he was still on Weibo.
This ti he stood outside the hospital, speaking to the cara, “My live stream was cut off midway just now, I wanted to co up and greet everyone, I’m fine, they haven’t beco completely heartless yet, I saw their transaction, it hasn’t reached the stage of silencing by killing…”
The comnts below were cursing:
——This world hasn’t collapsed because people like you strive for justice!
——I said it, no matter how bad one’s father is, he is still family, how could a son issue a letter of understanding for the murderer, there must have been a monetary transaction!
——The evils of capital! Can money really disrespect human life? Talking about bail pending trial for anemia, this is utterly shaless!
——Such people must be brought to justice, I don’t understand, with all the evidence there, why aren’t they arresting anyone? Isn’t this type of case simple to solve?
…
As Josh was mocking himself and the comnts were accusing Keira Olsen, a voice ca through, “This journalist friend…”
Josh turned around and saw Holly Sims, dressed in police uniform, righteous and imposing, who walked up to him, “I am willing to accept your live interview.”
Josh was overjoyed, “Officer Sims, I just heard them saying, you work as a forensic expert, can you assure objectivity in front of the cara?”
“I can.”
Holly Sims looked toward the cara.
Josh then said, “So I want to ask, was the murder suspect Miss Olsen granted bail for her anemia? Isn’t that reason laughably absurd?”
Holly Sims straightened her clothes and adjusted her hat.
Then she stood up straight, looked into the cara, and said, “I can attest that Miss Olsen does indeed suffer from severe anemia that has endangered her life! I was the one who signed her bail hearing form, and I assure you she is not trying to escape her charges!”
Josh hadn’t expected her to say that and scoffed, “Officer Sims, on what grounds can you make such a guarantee for her?!”
Holly Sims paused.
She tensed her jaw, her gaze firmly fixed on the screen, and pronounced each word carefully, “On the grounds of this uniform I wear!”
She spoke powerfully, “I can publicly declare here that if Miss Olsen is granted bail to flee, then I can take off this uniform forever!”
Josh was intimidated by her deanor.
Holly Sims looked at Josh: “Sotis, the truth isn’t what you see it to be. Human biases can do more harm than good. Who says anemia can’t be life-threatening? Do not let shortsightedness and narrow-mindedness cloud your judgnt, leading to irreversible mistakes.”
Her words seed as if they were intended for Josh as much as for herself.
Leaving these words behind, Holly Sims turned and walked away.
Keira Olsen watched her phone, her eyes slightly lowered, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart.
What Holly Sims valued most was her police uniform.
Back at the station, Captain Lincoln had said she would handle the bail hearing, and Holly Sims had staked her uniform on it. Even now that she had indeed handled the bail hearing, she was still willing to stand up and vouch for her.
“Your friend may be stubborn, but she’s good to you,”
Lewis Horton had entered the room at so point. His tall fra made the hospital room feel rather cramped as he sat down beside her.
Keira Olsen nodded, a smile on her lips, “Yeah, a bit foolish too.”
She looked at Lewis Horton.
In her mind flashed the scene in the police station where, after being mistaken for fighting with Poppy Hill and about to be thrown into solitary, her expression was one of despair. In the pitch-black detention center, the mont he had appeared holding Captain Lincoln hostage, it was like a god descending.
Later, he even carried her horizontally and strode to the hospital like a cot.
Being in his arms at that ti, she slled the fresh scent on him, and his imposing figure had given her an unprecedented sense of security.
At the ti, Keira was frail, and people are especially vulnerable during such tis. Now that she thought about it, she only felt…
This man… took quite a risk!
Where was that? And whom had he taken hostage?!
What if the ard police had decided to shoot him to rescue Captain Lincoln from a blind spot?
He was even more foolish than Holly Sims!
Keira Olsen thought about these things in a daze and suddenly said, “Thank you.”
Feeling unnaturally polite, Lewis Horton felt a bit uneasy, instinctively wanting to say, “If sothing happened to you, Grandma would be heartbroken,” but the words stopped at his lips, swallowed back down.
He touched his high-bridged nose, his face softening, “You’re welco.”
His reaction left Keira Olsen slightly taken aback.
She rembered that the big brother from her mory, when embarrassed, also liked to touch his nose…
And, that big brother was also afraid of cats.
Keira Olsen suddenly asked, “Were you ever kidnapped as a child?”
Lewis Horton paused, his eyes suddenly deepening, “Why would you ask that?”
