The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 370

"We'll rehabilitate properly inside, go through the motions. At least... at least we won't have to suffer this inhuman mental torture every day in here. Look at the ghost you've become, how do you expect Mom to live!"

Bearing the charge of manslaughter and going to prison was still better than being consumed alive by this endless mental torture in the interrogation room.

"Time is up. Family members must leave the interrogation area immediately."

The officer standing at the door of the visitation room checked his watch, coldly interrupting the tear-filled conversation.

The officer stepped forward, standing behind Nora, signaling her to stand up and prepare to return to the holding cell.

"Dad, Mom. You guys should go."

Nora's voice was still hoarse, but her tone was unusually steady and resounding.

Her parents would rather believe she was a criminal who accidentally killed someone than believe she had the ability to prove her innocence under the combined strangulation of the Hayes and Pierce families.

"I will never admit to something I haven't done."

Mr. Xavier gave Nora a deep look, his eyes mixed with powerless grief, but eventually, he could only submissively support his wife and slowly step out of the heavy security door.

"Click."

The cold iron door of the interrogation room slammed heavily behind Nora once again.

The high-intensity interrogation, the relentless questioning, along with the ceaseless dull ache in her lower abdomen, caused her consciousness to slowly sink into a chaotic swamp.

Her spirit reached the brink of drying out. The only support left in her mind was actually Mr. Xavier's phrase, "Gideon is still investigating the truth."

She stood up somewhat numbly. Due to prolonged sitting and extreme lack of nutrition, her legs gave out, and she nearly collapsed back onto the cold iron chair.

Acquitted and released.

These words buzzed loudly in her empty mind.

Did Gideon find the real killer?

Was it because he finally pulled the real murderer who pushed Giselle off the building out of the clues he had pulled overnight, forcing the precinct to let her go?

Or... or was it that after looking at the traces at the scene and hearing her defense, he was finally willing to give her a shred of trust, using the massive power of The Hayes Group to fish her out of this pitch-black interrogation room?
