As soon as Eric said that, her tears fell down immediately. Before Hailey called her, she knew nothing. After asking her in detail, Hailey told her everything she knew.
She didn't expect that such a thing would happen to Wayne, who hadn't seen for only two days.
Leaning over, Eric held her in his arms. At this moment, he even wanted to cry.
"Why didn't you call me first?" In his arms, Lily was sobbing.
"What happened today?" Eric caressed the back of her head and said in a hoarse voice, "I haven't thought about it yet. Don't cry, okay?"
"Okay..." Lily gradually stopped sobbing and looked up from Eric's arms. "I… Let's go to Harry."
Eric gently wiped the tears on her face with a smile on his face and replied, "Okay."
After adjusting his mood, he started the car and left.
Lily sat on the passenger seat and wiped the tears on her face with a tissue. She said, "Grandpa has known everything about him. After Hailey told me, I told them everything, and they all thought it was inconceivable."
Eric simply replied yes and didn't say anything, because he really didn't know how to answer it.
Lily turned her head and looked at him. She knew that he was not feeling well. She wanted to say a lot to him, but she was afraid that it would make him feel bad if she said it out, so she endured it.
It was late at night. The street lights were bright, and the neon lights in the center of the city were colorful. But these had nothing to do with the two people in the car, and they had no time to enjoy the night scene.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the gate of Harry's hospital.
The two got off the car almost at the same time. Lily walked to Eric, reached out her hand and took the initiative to clasp his ten fingers. She turned her head to look at him and smiled, "Let's go."
"Okay." Eric forced a smile and tightened his grip on her finger.
Because of Harry's special requirements, there were not many patients in the hospital at night, and even the receptionist who was responsible for reception had been off duty. Therefore, when the two of them walked into the hospital hand in hand, it was very quiet.
As they had been here once, the two of them were quite familiar with Harry's office.
When they came to the office, the door was open and there was a sound of talking inside.
"Gee, idiot, I think this palm bone is not bad. How about we take it back for fun?" It was Hailey's voice.
"No!" Ellison refused without hesitation, "Why do you take it back? Aren't you afraid of seeing it in the middle of the night?"
"No, I think it's fun." As she spoke, Hailey grabbed Ellison's face hard.
Ellison seemed to be really frightened and stepped back abruptly.
He retreated, while Hailey kept moving forward. He didn't stop until his back was against the wall. However, when he saw that Hailey hadn't stopped yet, Ellison quickly reached out one hand to hold her wrist which was holding a palm bone prank, pulled it to one side, and held her waist tightly with the other hand, pressing down on him.
For a moment, the distance between the two people was equal to… Zero.
"You..." The intimate contact between the two made Hailey blush at once. "You are shameless!"
"No, I'm not. It's normal." Ellison looked at her innocently, as if he was telling the truth.
"Ahem..." Eric, who was standing outside the door and watching all this, deliberately coughed, while Lily stood quietly aside.
"Here you are." Ellison turned around and saw them. He stopped making a fuss with Hailey and loosened his grip on her.
Of course, Hailey didn't continue to quarrel with him. She took a few steps back, distanced herself from him, and put the hand bone back on the desk.
"Yes." After saying yes, Eric held Lily's hand and walked in.
Ellison looked at his watch and said, "Harry will come out in about an hour."
"Sit down." Hailey pointed to the empty chair aside and said, "Before you arrive, I have thought over my previous deduction carefully."
After they sat down together, Eric looked up at Hailey and asked, "Have you found anything new?"
Hailey shook her head, "No. I have roughly calculated the position of the suspect's injury. If it is the first situation I have guessed before, your grandfather reached out to grab the suspect after he fell to the ground, then the scratch must be on his feet, above and below his ankle. If it's the second case, your grandfather fell to the ground in the process of pushing with the suspect, the place where the suspect was scratched may be on the upper part of his body, or on his feet, because it may also be the suspect who went to arrest after being pushed down."
Eric nodded, while Lily listened quietly, with Ellison standing aside silently.
Hailey continued, "In this case, it will be easier to find the suspects you have targeted. You can secretly observe who has injuries on their bodies, especially the scratches, and then lock these people."
The other three nodded in agreement.
