“How’s the investigation going?” Shane asked.
Silas’ face turned serious as he said, “I looked around at the site. It looks like Ms. Lawrence was alone when she fell. Of course, I won’t rule out the possibility that Harrison and his wife had gotten rid of the evidence that they were there.”
The former narrowed his eyes at that.
Then, his assistant continued, “Since there were only the three of them there when it happened, the couple can definitely get rid of any disadvantageous evidence and act as though Ms. Lawrence had fallen on her own before calling the cops.”
“So we still can’t tell the truth about Yulia’s death?” Shane’s face darkened as he spoke.
Silas nodded. “That’s right. We don’t have enough evidence to prove that Harrison and his wife had pushed her down, nor can we prove that she had fallen herself. That’s why we’re stuck. If we can’t find out the truth about what happened within the stipulated deadline…”
“Then we’ll have to close the case with the conclusion that Yulia had fallen down the stairs on her own.” Shane completed Silas’ sentence.
Natalie pushed open the door just as the assistant was about to reply. Her eyes were red as she exclaimed, “That’s unacceptable!”
She still didn’t think that her mothers had fallen down the stairs on her own.
“You heard?” Shane stared at her.
She murmured a “Yes,” before adding, “I want to go to the police station and meet with Harrison.”
“No.” Shane didn’t agree this time.
Natalie fidgeted with her hands as she asked, “Why?”
“Your body couldn’t take it!” The man pursed his lips before he continued, “How are you going to meet him in this state? Get some rest first before you meet him tomorrow.”
Seeing Shane’s unwavering stance, she knew there was no room for negotiation.
“Come on, let’s head back to the ward.” He reached out to take her hand.
Natalie quickly moved away from him and hid her hand behind her. “I held my mom’s hand earlier.”
Shane did not insist as he lowered his hand upon hearing that.
They walked side by side towards the elevator, with Silas trailing behind.
