Jane said, “You go have her take the medication first, I’ll ask the front desk.”
Zachary reached out and pulled Jane back. “Let’s go together.”
Jane shook her head. “We should split up. I’m afraid someone might destroy evidence.”
In this matter, Zachary’s first suspicion was Michael.
He wasn’t as innocent as he seemed.
“You won’t get much from asking now,” he said.
Jane’s expression turned somewhat grim.
Hours had passed since they fell asleep at dawn. If the other party had planned this, they indeed wouldn’t let them find anything.
She followed Zachary back to the top floor of the hotel.
Watching him knock on Nina’s door, she saw it open shortly after from the inside.
Nina peeked out, nervously looking at Zachary. “Zachary…”
A flicker of emotion crossed Zachary’s dark eyes, but his face remained expressionless.
He handed her the medication.
* Nina saw the words on the box, lowered her eyes, suppressing the coldness in them.

Tears rolled down her cheeks in large droplets, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
“I know you will suspect me. Even if I defend myself, you won’t completely believe me, so let’s let the evidence speak and see what really happened. Zachary, I promised I wouldn’t say anything, and I’ve already taken the medicine. If you don’t believe me, I’ll take the one you bought as well.

As she spoke, she reached for the box in Zachary’s hand, but he pulled it back.
“Just get some rest,” he said.
Leaving that sentence behind, he took Jane and turned to enter the elevator.
Michael caught up. “Jane, have something to eat first.”
