Since she had been seen through, there was no need for her to continue pretending.
Xenia opened her eyes and looked coldly at Captain Smith and Rosiley. She asked, "Are you two satisfied now?"
Rosiley and Captain Smith glanced at each other and then laughed scornfully, "Xenia, you're really amazing. Not only are you pretending to be sick, but you're also pretending to be asleep. Do you think we're fools?"
"My mother's illness is real. She pretends to be asleep just because she doesn't want to see you two,’ Rorey shouted at Rosiley, looking furious.
Rosiley glanced at her indifferently and snorted, saying, "The doctor will tell us if you are pretending to be sick."
Rorey and Xenia's expressions instantly changed when they heard that Xenia was about to be examined.
Rosiley watched this quietly, with her eyes filled with mockery. She turned around and sat on the sofa. She calmly took out her phone and dialed under their gaze.
When she got through, she looked at Rorey and Xenia and said to the person on the other side of the phone, "Doctor, this is Rosiley. I made an appointment with you last night. Is it okay for you to come over now?"
Hearing this, Rorey and Xenia looked at each other, not understanding what Rosiley was doing.
Rosiley hung up the phone and said to Captain Smith with a smile, "Captain Smith, the doctor will come over later to give her a new examination."
"Really?" Captain Smith already knew that Rosiley had arranged for another doctor to examine Xenia, but he was still surprised and asked, "Is the doctor reliable?"
Rosiley glanced at Rorey and Xenia, whose faces had turned pale, and said with a slight smile, "Of course, he wasn't bribed."
"Rosiley, what do you mean?" Rorey questioned.
Rosiley smiled and said, "I'm worried that the doctors in this hospital are not reliable. If the examination result is wrong, wouldn't it be bad for you? So for your own good, I asked a new doctor to examine you. If you are sick, then you will receive proper treatment. But if you are not sick...”
"Rorey...." Xenia uneasily grabbed Rorey's hand.
Rorey turned to look at her. Seeing her mother's uneasy and frightened expression, she frowned. She gritted her teeth and coldly said to Rosiley, "My mother doesn't need to be examined anymore. This hospital is the best hospital in Benin. How can the examination result be fake?"
"Indeed, the hospital is the best." Rorey nodded, then a mocking smile appeared on her face. "But some doctors have no professional ethics and are willing to lie for their own interests. How can such doctors be trusted?"
Rorey narrowed her eyes and said, "Are you saying that I bribe the doctor?"
Rosiley raised her eyebrows, saying "I didn't say that. You said it yourself."
"Rosiley, don't try to slander me. You'd better give evidence before you suspect someone. Also, my mother refuses to be examined by a doctor comes from nowhere."
"Captain Smith, police have no right to force an unarmed woman to undergo such an examination, right?" Rorey stared at Captain Smith fiercely.
"Indeed." Captain Smith calmly agreed with her. He put his hands in his pockets and walked to the door. He turned to look inside with a faint smile on his face, saying, "Since the police have no right to force you, then I will leave. You should settle it by yourselves. I can pretend that I don't know anything.’
