The young caregiver was utterly terrified. In that moment, all she could do was listen to Linda and nod along committing e word to memory. That way, if anyone questioned her later, Linda knew the caregiver would back up their story claiming they hard returned to the room together.

With that alibi secured, the only person left with both motive and opportunity would be Isabella.

Not a single trace of evidence remained in the room, and there was no way Isabella could possibly know what had really happened. Linda s mind raced in frantic circles as she tried to steady her breathing and calm her nerves.

Just then, Harry arrived with Rachel.

Isabel a stepped forward to meet them. “Ms. Hale, do you remember what time we spoke earlier?”

“Of course,” Rachel replied with a natural ease. “Ms. Carter had just left the room when I got back from collecting the test results…. that must’ve been around eleven.”

‘Thank you.” Isabella then turned to Harry. “Dr. Ashford, you can determine approximately how long ago the injury occurred, correct?”

Harry paused briefly. When his eyes met Isabella’s calm gaze, he gave a short, confirming nod.

‘Then it’s settled.”

sabella turned slowly, her eyes sweeping over Linda and the trembling caregiver beside her. Linda’s gaze wavered slightly, while the caregiver kept her head lowered, not daring to look up.

Deliberately, Isabella moved a step closer to the caregiver.

‘Even if we can’t pinpoint exactly who did this, that’s fine. As long as we can confirm Noah was injured after I left… then the only person who would have known is the caregiver who was with him all along.

‘Teresa,” Isabella continued, her voice steady, “the one you should be questioning is right here.”

The young caregiver’s legs nearly gave out. Linda quickly reached out to support her, but Teresa had already picked up on the trange tension in the air.

‘Linda,” Teresa said coolly, “weren’t you with this caregiver the whole time? She looks absolutely terrified. You’re not involved in this somehow, are you?”

Linda stiffened. “Teresa, all I wanted was to help Xavier by looking after Noah… Why in the world would I want to hurt him?”

Before Linda could finish, the caregiver overwhelmed by fear–blurted out, “Linda… maybe we should just tell the truth

She looked at Linda desperately, as though she could no longer bear the weight of the secret

“If you have something to say,” Teresa cut in sharply, her red lips set in a firm line, “you’d better say it now Things will only get harder for you later.”

Her voice was like ice, slicing through the caregiver’s last remnants of composure.

“Ms. Moore… I… I wasn’t actually…” The caregiver stammered, shooting a panicked glance toward Linda, her face flushing bright

She didn’t know whether to break her promise to Linda, but now everyone was staring at her as if she were the primary suspect – and she hadn’t done anything wrong!

Besides, she couldn’t afford to cross the Moore family.

“I’m sorry. Teresa,” Linda spoke up suddenly, before the caregiver could form a complete sentence. “Actually, I wasn’t completely honest earlier.”

A faint gleam of interest flickered in Isabella’s eyes as she watched Linda.

Linda gave the caregiver what looked like a reassuring glance. Thinking Linda was stepping in to protect her, the caregiver fell silent, tears welling in her eyes as she silently pleaded for help.

But Linda’s next words left her frozen in disbelief.

“The truth is, right after Isabella left, I had really bad stomach cramps and had to rush to the restroom… so I asked the caregiver to keep an eye on Noah for a few minutes. When I came back…”

Teresa’s expression shifted subtly. Before she could respond, the caregiver beside Linda burst into panicked tears. “Linda! That’s not what happened! You told me to leave… You were the only one who went into the room back then!”

“Me? Go into the room alone?” Linda looked genuinely shocked, her hand placed over her heart. “I’ve been covering for you this whole time. How could you make up a story like this to blame me?
