The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike novel Chapter 603

Chapter 603 

“I’ll go instead. If you are not present when the doctor arrives later, you will have to look for the doctor again, which is inconvenient.” After all, doctors were not always present in their offices. They had rounds and outpatient visits, so it was not always easy to find them. 

That made sense to Amelia, so she said to Lucas, “Thank you.” 

“No problem. I came here today to help with errands anyway.” Lucas smiled and walked out of the ward. 

Amelia watched Lucas’ departing figure and couldn’t help but sigh. “He really is a good person.” 

“You’re right. He’s a very good person,” Rosalie agreed. 

“However, in this world, good people frequently do not receive what they deserve. I hope he’ll lead a good life in the future,” Amelia murmured. When she was young, she had not paid much attention to people like Lucas, who was a little shy and honest. Instead, she used to admire men like Warren. 

Nonetheless, she realized after many experiences that loving an honest person was what led her to happiness. 

She didn’t have to worry about betrayal, deception, or even revenge. 

Even if they did not make much money, her heart would be at ease living a peaceful life. 

The group stayed in the ward until the doctor arrived and provided Amelia with Aiden’s discharge summary report. After some instructions, the doctor left, and Lucas had yet to return. 

For some reason, he was taking quite a while. 

Rosalie could not help but feel uneasy, but she quickly told herself that she was overthinking. Perhaps Lucas was simply unfamiliar with the hospital. 

In the end, she decided to call Lucas, but there was no answer on the other end of the phone. 

Rosalie furrowed her brow. “What’s wrong? Did Lucas not pick up the phone?” asked Amelia. 

“Maybe he didn’t hear it. I’ll try again in a while,” Rosalie said. Just as she was about to make the call, a nurse rushed into the ward and said to Rosalie, “The man who came with you today, is he your friend? The police are taking him to the police station for questioning. If things go badly, he might be detained. Can you try to mediate the situation?” 

Rosalie was shocked, and she and Amelia exchanged surprised glances. “Detained? What’s going on?” 

The nurse glanced at the child in the pediatric ward and hesitated to speak. Rosalie recognized her intent, and the two of them exited the ward. 

“It is a case of sexual harassment and attempted sexual assault, and there are witnesses on the scene. That is why the police- have taken him to the police station,” the nurse explained. 

Rosalie couldn’t believe what she had just heard. “Attempted sexual assault? It made no sense for Lucas to be involved in something like this. Could someone like him really commit such a crime, especially when assisting Amelia with document photocopying in a hospital? It’s completely illogical!” she mused. 

Hence, Rosalie asked around and found out which police station it was before returning to the ward. “Amelia, I am really sorry. I originally wanted to help Aiden with his discharge, but now I have to go to the police station to find out what is going on with Lucas,” she said in a low voice as she informed Amelia of the circumstances. 

“Don’t worry about it. I can handle the discharge here with my mother,” Amelia said, equally perplexed that Lucas would be involved in such a thing. 

Aiden had no idea what was going on and kept asking what the term “detention” meant. Left with no choice, Amelia could only make up stuff to fool him. 

When Rosalie arrived at the police station, Lucas was still being interrogated. According to the police, there was a surveillance camera as well as eyewitnesses at the scene. If the surveillance footage, once retrieved, indeed corroborated the accounts of the victim and witnesses, then Lucas would be charged with attempted sexual assault. 

“I want to speak with Lucas,” Rosalie said. Regardless of the situation, she needed to hear from Lucas himself to understand what had happened. 

“He’s still in the middle of an interrogation. Once there’s enough evidence, the police will detain him according to current laws and regulations. In that case, visitation is not allowed unless it’s necessary,” the officer replied. 

Rosalie bit her lip and declared solemnly, “I am Lucas’ representative lawyer, and I have the right to see him.” With that, she handed over her identification to the officer. 

“All right, you can speak with him after the interrogation is finished, but you will only have half an hour,” the officer said after verifying her credentials. 

“Understood,” Rosalie agreed, then waited outside anxiously.

Every minute felt like an eternity for her. 

Just then, the door to an interview room opened, and a figure emerged. The person appeared to be in tears, wiping their face with tissues all the time.
