A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 872

"Yes!" Kieran didn't think Rae Baxter would be injured, and he was blaming himself for a while, if he knew that Rae was injured, he would not have called her! He tried to borrow a wheelchair for Rae, leaving Marcel Hopkins and Rae to wait for him. Marcel held her feet and said strictly, "Rae, you took actions without permission!"

"I was in a rush so I had no time to apply for permission!" Rae said.

"Who do you think you are?" Marcel's tone was very impatient, "You are just a normal policeman, not a leader. You have no obligation to take charge of the overall situation. You have to know your identity and don't overtake something beyond your range!"

Rae blushed, knowing Marcel was taking care of her, even though he said it strictly, she still knew that he was worried about her foot injury. She felt shy and awkward at the same time, so she whispered, "I just want to solve the case quickly. Don’t we only have three days to solve the case? There is still a day and a half, we are short of time!"

"We?" Marcel raised his eyebrows, tried hard to figure out why she said that.

"Means all of us!" Rae shouted with blushing cheek.

Marcel's lips curled up and stopped talking.

Kieran came up and pushed in the wheelchair, Marcel helped Rae sit on it, and then he pushed it himself, and went to the door of the operating room to see how Piper Salinas's situation.

It took about forty minutes. The doctor came out and Marcel showed out his ID. The doctor said to him, "Third degree torn, we couldn’t save the baby, and her cervix is

suspected of being stabbed by an object. Those are all her body situation for now, she needs to rest in bed!"

Rae was completely shocked, was she pregnant? Or she was being sexual abuse all the time?!

She and Marcel looked at each other. When they were exchanged eye sights with each other, Rae eyes were full of doubts. But from Marcel's eyes, he seemed already knew everything. Rae didn't know what he had investigated. As he was the captain, he must have his own arrangements, so he would be confident that everything was in control.

After the doctor left, Rae quickly asked Marcel, "Captain Hopkins, what is going on?"

Marcel took a glance at Kieran, and Kieran said, "I have been following Piper to here. She came back with Kaden Duran, so I kept monitoring her whereabouts. She didn't stay here at the night, and Kaden went out in the morning. He sent someone to follow him, and it seemed that there was nothing suspicious. But today a pot of flowers fell from building at noon and caught our attention. Later, a phone was thrown out with a bloody note said help me on it! So we went up and notified Captain Hopkins..."

That was to say, Kieran and Arlo immediately notified Marcel at the first time, which was totally understandable. After all, Marcel was the captain, so they directly reported to the leader. Although there was a suspicion of leapfrogging the report, Rae had no official position yet. The so-called captain’s secretary was a title without any special rights. She just felt a bit lost. But she knew it was not the good time to feel lost.

They notified Captain Hopkins, and then told her, which was a good call for everyone. First of all, they fawned on Captain Hopkins, and then herself. The wishful thinking was played well, but they were not loyal enough for her.

"We went up together after Captain Hopkins arrived there, and we saw Piper lying on the balcony. There was a rope for binding on the bed. Also, there were a lot of adult utensils spreading on the ground. There were blood stains everywhere from the bed to the balcony...We were totally astonished after seeing the scene."

Rae was also surprised.

Piper was pushed out of the operating room, and Rae saw her face extremely pale.

At the time, someone came here with rush of footsteps in the corridor, followed by a crying voice, "Where is Piper? Where is my Piper?"

Rae turned her head to see a man and a woman coming together, walking in a hurry, with a panic expression. They looked like they were in their fifty’s. They were all frightened when they saw Piper lying in bed! The woman fainted instantly.

The man held the woman's waist and then asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter? Policemen, where are the policemen?"

Marcel showed his ID. "Piper is not in danger anymore, and the operation is successful. I'm the police office, Marcel Hopkins. Let's go to a ward with less people to talk about Piper! It’s better to talk in private!"

The man nodded, slightly letting go of his nervousness.

When nurses asked about arranging the ward, Piper's father asked for a single room.

They went to the ward. Marcel called Piper's parents out alone. Rae did not go with them but waited in the ward.

Piper woke up quickly. She opened her eyes but her eyes were empty. Seeing Rae, she blinked and seemed like there were tears flickering in her eyes.

Rae didn't know how to comfort her, so she stretched out her hand and held her hand that was clenched into a fist in the blanket.

Piper cried out suddenly, "Boohoo--"

Rae held her hand even tighter.

Piper survived from those horrible things, could she tell what she experienced?

Rae thought it might be better to start with Piper to solve the case!

She could imagine what she went through last night.

There were only she and Kaden in the room, and Kaden must cause all injuries.

She also saw the hickey was all over Piper's neck, which was simply inhuman treatment.
