Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 127

Hollie lowered her head, bit her lip and said nothing.
The officer hit the table and raised his voice.
"You pretended to be sick, sent Miss Doyle to the operating room and actually undermined the operation. Moreover, you even got Ariya killed when you were a child. You admitted all those things in the recording."
Hollie finally raised her head and took an indifferent look at the officer as if she had never done those things.
Sitting in the auditorium, Stefan looked really terrible and uncomfortable.
He heard the recording again in the interrogation room. When he heard the painful cry of Martha on the operating table. She had been so desperate, which made Stefan feel really guilty and regretful.
It was all his fault. If he had trusted and cared about Martha more at that time, Martha wouldn't have suffered such pain.
Thinking of how helpless Martha was at that time, Stefan felt pretty awful.
He took a look at Martha sitting next to him and fought against his complicated feelings.
Stefan finally understood why Martha looked so indifferent now. The pain she had suffered in the past had made her numb and also almost invulnerable.
And he was the one who made her suffer so much.
The feeling of guilt and regret overwhelmed him and made him feel it difficult to breathe.
Then the officer's serious voice broke the silence.
"Hollie, are you going to confess now?"
Looking at the officer in front of her coldly, Hollie shook her head and sneered disdainfully. She put her hands on the edge of the table and asked the officer with a smile, "Are you going to convict me only by this recording?"
The officer frowned, as if he didn't expect Hollie would say that.
Hollie' kept smiling and said, "Do you have any witnesses? Can you really punish me just because of this recording? Can this be regarded as direct evidence?"
The officer didn't know what he should say at that moment.
Indeed, according to the national rules, the recording could only be used as supporting evidence, and could not be the main evidence at all.
Moreover, Martha was leading Hollie to say such things in the recording, which made it not relatively objective. The officer was uncertain whether it could be regarded as supporting evidence.
Noticing the hesitation of the officer, Hollie turned to look at Martha and said sarcastically and firmly, "You guys can never convict me only by a recording!"
At that moment, Hollie looked at Martha with hostility and continued, "What if she was unwilling to donate her bone marrow to me in the past and deliberately set up a trap to frame me?" The officer didn't know what to say now.
They really hadn't thought about this before. But what Hollie said was fairly reasonable.
"With this recording as evidence, you can't escape suspicion."
Hearing that, Hollie stopped smiling and then looked as if she was wronged.
"Why don't you police think about other possibilities? What if I am the victim? I had a medical record to prove that I was really sick four years ago. Why didn't you look into that? And, do you even have a witness to prove that I was guilty? At least, you have to bring some witnesses or physical evidence."
As Hollie spoke, she shed a few drops of tears, as if she had been wronged.
The two officers in the interrogation room heard her words and looked at each other awkwardly.
What Hollie just said was right. Now the case had entered a dead end, unless there was more direct evidence or witness.
Sitting aside, Martha lowered her head and frowned.
She knew that it wouldn't be that easy for Hollie to admit what she had done. And the witness Libby had run away.
The policemen were looking for Libby, but Martha didn't think they could find her in such a short time.
Besides, even if Libby was found, she would not easily testify against Hollie.
When Martha was on the operating table in the operating room, besides Hollie, the doctor was there.
Martha tried to get in touch with that doctor, but she failed. She didn't know where the doctor had gone.
She couldn't think of any other witness now.
Was Hollie going to get away with punishment again?
Martha got kind of upset when thinking about this.
At that time, there was a knock on the door.
Then an officer pushed the door open and came in. He said in a serious voice, "We got a witness. He said that he could prove what happened that year."
After hearing this, all the people present were stunned.
Martha didn't expect that a witness would come here to testify at this time.
She was even more curious about who the witness was. Was it Libby? Hollie looked toward the door of the interrogation room.
A witness?
Was that Libby?
But Libby had run away. How could the police find her in such a short time?
After a second, the witness was brought into the interrogation room.
Upon seeing the man, Hollie totally freaked out.
Wasn't this guy the doctor in the operating room?
Why was he here?
Who asked him to come?
Martha was just as shocked as Hollie.
She had been looking for this guy for two years. However, he actually appeared at this moment, which was really timely.
Martha had thought that the case would be delayed for the lack of witnesses.
The doctor actually came here, which just solved her pressing problem.
It seemed that the doctor wasn't found by the police. Then who sent him here?
She felt that it must be deliberately arranged by someone.
The peace in the interrogation room was broken by the arrival of the witness.
"Hollie, you know this guy, do you?"
Hearing this, Hollie tightened her hand and trembled a little.
She bit her lip and didn't know what she should say. Hollie couldn't help cursing inwardly.
After that incident, Libby told her that everything had been handled.
Then why was this man here?
Hollie didn't know what to do now. No matter why the doctor was here, as long as he told the truth, she would be convicted.
The doctor took a glance at Martha and quickly turned his head. He was too guilty to look at her.
The officer looked at the doctor and asked seriously, "Do you remember what happened that year?"
"Yes, I do."
The doctor lowered his head and his voice.
The officer took a look at him and continued, "Four years ago, did Hollie ask you to abuse Martha on the operating table?"
"Yes, she did."
The doctor added, "It was a conspiracy, and Hollie was the ringleader."
The officer looked at Hollie who refused to admit her crime before with a meaningful look as if he was saying, "You are damned now".
"Tell me about it."
Hollie's face turned totally pale at that time.
She was so going to jail now.
