Without thinking, the crowd directed all their frustrations at Nora.
"This woman is too much, isn't she? We all just narrowly escaped with our lives. It's understandable to be anxious and want to know what's going on. How could she get physical?"
"I know that girl. I heard she was here waiting for someone. What terrible luck to be here when our building caught fire. I saw her when I was coming down earlier, crying and running. It was so pitiful."
"Tsk, tsk. What did we do to deserve this? As if this whole disaster wasn't enough, now we have to be bullied by these cold-hearted people."
"Right? The world is really going downhill. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be a cop now. What does a woman like her know anyway?"
"She doesn't even have basic empathy. What kind of cop is she? Can she even solve a case?"
The belittling and accusatory remarks came one after another.
Nora, who had done nothing, was being painted as completely worthless.
Nathan returned after speaking with the officers at the scene and saw what was happening.
Mia was on the ground, throwing a tantrum, while Nora stood alone, condemned by everyone.
His brow furrowed, but instead of stepping forward, he stood quietly to the side, waiting.
"Captain, aren't we going to do something?"
The officer beside him also saw the scene and felt a fire burning in his chest.
Dr. Hayes was a treasure to the department. These people were just jumping to conclusions, daring to spread baseless rumors.
"No need."
Nathan said, "She can handle it."
The officer looked at Nathan with surprise.
Just as he was about to ask, "How do you know?"
