Chapter 300: The truth

KEITH’S POV

I stood in the middle of Jasmine’s house as I looked for her. Obviously she wasn’t there. Feeling agitated with

What do you mean Diana Rockford?" I asked in shock.

"They said they found a woman in the Yorkshire river who identified herself as Diana Rocford.

"What?!" I asked in shock isn’t she supposed to be in hiding as hold my son.

"When was she ?" I asked.

"I’m not sure. I was only contacted moments ago. The detective is waiting for you at the hospital waiting for you to see her.

Upon arriving at the hospital I quickly

the policeman waiting for me by the entrance. Officer Dhaul. I continued walking toward the hospital entrance and he joined me walking in step with me.

"Mr Acland thank you for coming so quickly," he started.

"What happened?" I asked him.

"About there weeks ago a group of kayakers were on the river when they came across Miss Rockford’s body washed up on the riverbank. They thought she was dead as she had a gunshot wound in her chest and wasn’t moving. When the officers got there they confirmed she was still alive and then took her to the hospital." The officer further explained.

"Gunshot wound? Someone had tried to kill her?" I asked surprised by this revelation.

"We’re not sure of the details but it appears someone shot her in the chest. The officer working on her case tried to identify her but she had no ID on her person and no one came looking for her or reported so the police and the hospital decided it was best to wait for her to regain consciousness.

My eyebrows narrowed in confusion. I thought she was the one sending the ransom notes and keeping holding Anthony so how is it possible

"The departme—" the officer started.

"If the police were already aware of her three weeks ago, why couldn’t you identify her sooner? You knew we were looking of Diana." I interrupted him.

"I apologise for that sir, I was about to explain. It was an issue of communication between our different units. The missing persons and the financial crimes and fraud unit which are working with you weren’t assigned to her case. That would have made the investigation into her faster. Her case was treated as an attempted homicide and handled by the general crimes unit. And unfortunately units only communicate with each other if a connection is made. They expected someone to come forward to claim her but no one did and so the identification process was slower. She has prior criminal record so they had no records to work with. Since she showed signs of recovery they thought the best decision would be to wait for to tell them who she is."

I shook my head unsatisfied with the response. "Well maybe thats something your department should work on." I snapped.

He shivered. "Yes, sir," he replied. We headed straight for the elevator as the officer took me to Diana.

"She was found he department concluded that her body came from upstream close to the waterfalls. So they figure she was around there at the time she was caught.

We reached the floor her room was located and the officer took me down a long hallway. We rounded a corner and were met with a doctor standing by a door to a patient room.

"Mr Acland, Officer Dhaul?" He asked as we neared him.

"Yes we are," Dhaul answered for the both of us.

I peaked into the room and saw the shade of familiar blonde hair and I knew it was her, though I couldn’t see her face.

"I’m sure you already know that
