The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1662

As the two bodyguards raced toward the hospital, Claire was already miles ahead of them.

With a motorcycle cop clearing the intersections, Claire was driving at breakneck speed.

By the time she pulled into the emergency bay, she received word that the ambulance had only just arrived at the food street.

The hospital had been alerted and had a trauma team waiting at the doors.

The police also arrived at the hospital shortly after.

The patient was rushed into the operating room, leaving only Claire and Lawler waiting outside.

There had been plenty of witnesses on the street, but no civilians had dared to follow them to the hospital.

The police had split their forces; one team was at the scene taking statements.

"I'm a doctor attending a medical conference here in Cabinda. My name is Lawler."

Lawler was the first to hand his ID to the officers.

The officer inspected it, verified his identity, and handed it back.

Claire followed suit. "I'm a freshman at Cabinda Medical School, and I'm also part of the conference delegation."

"We were having dinner at a restaurant nearby with several other doctors from the conference."

"When we heard the gunshot, we rushed outside to see what had happened."

"We saw the man lying in a pool of blood and immediately administered first aid."

They both gave clear, concise answers and had easily verifiable IDs.

Their story was quickly corroborated by the officers at the scene.

Once their identities were confirmed, the officers' demeanor became much friendlier.

"Can I ask who that man is? Why was he shot?"

Claire suspected the victim was someone important.

"We can't disclose that at this time." The truth was, the police didn't know his identity either.

They were still running his prints. Furthermore, a gunshot wound in the middle of the city meant the case was highly sensitive.
