Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand novel Chapter 503

503 Saving Life in Detention Ce

Anna's public trial was about to begin in two days. In the last few days, Joshua had visited the detention center several times to see Anna. He claimed that the best thing to do at this point was to say in court that she had acted in self-defense. Meanwhile, he believed there was a possibility

she would be found guilty, which made the case trickier.

A day before the trial, Anna went to the cafeteria after finishing her morning study session. At that moment, Zoe, who shared a dorm with her, stopped her. Zoe said she needed to speak with Anna, so they went into a nearby restroom. She was flushed from running and appeared to have something very important to say. However, she didn't explain anything but placed a handkerchief in Anna's hand.

The handkerchief was heavy and appeared to contain something. Anna wanted to open it to look inside, but Zoe grabbed her hand and stopped her.

"When you see your lawyer, please ask him to send this to my friend. Please!’’ As Zoe pleaded with Anna, her eyes were filled with glistening tears. She was panting to catch her breath after saying this.

Anna wiped Zoe's tears away and said, "Relax. Tell me what happened.”

"Ijust found out I'm going to prison after breakfast,” When she finished, Zoe lowered her head. Her sobs echoed in the small restroom.

Hearing that, Anna had no idea how to comfort her other than to pat her on the shoulder. "Don't worry," Anna said. She then stuffed the

The cops had been keeping an eye on them for quite some time. They took over the workshop later while Zoe was the only one apprehended. So, the police assumed she was a scapegoat and detained her in the detention center for the time being. However, after a thorough investigation, the police discovered Zoe's confession, and the clues pointed to her as the mastermind.

Anna could not accept this fact because she believed counterfeit manufacturing drugs was a heinous crime. As a result, no matter how timid and soft Zoe appeared, Anna could not treat her like before.

After crying for a while, Zoe was in a better mood. So, they decided to go to the cafeteria for breakfast. On their way, Zoe had held Anna's arm the entire time, and her gaze had been reserved.

‘•How's your feet feeling? Did the blister heal?” Anna asked Zoe with concern.

“Much better now. Thanks for asking, Anna,” Zoe replied with a smile

“Well, after you are transferred to the prison, just ignore what others will say about you, okay? Promise me, don’t get into another fight with them.”

“Okay, Anna, | promise. It’s just... Yeah. What that woman said about me was right. | am an evil person,” Shaking her head and sighing, Zoe

Not knowing what to say to comfort her, Anna heaved a sigh as well. The two had just entered the cafeteria when a woman from their dorm room grabbed Anna's arm and asked, "You're a doctor, right? Something happened in the kitchen”
