Clayton forced a smile in response to Nicole's question.
"It's hard to say!"
It was meaningful.
At the hospital, the other floors besides the affected areas were open as usual.
After all, the hospital was not an ordinary public area. Even if someone died, they could not delay other life-saving operations.
Nicole walked in with a heavy heart.
She felt pity for Tina.
Although Tina brought it upon herself, Nicole still felt that Tina was a pitiful woman. Nicole could not blame a pitiful, hopeless woman for being useless.
The closer she got to the floor, the weirder she felt.
Clayton contacted the hospital's director in advance. The dean had just come from the police station with a heavy heart as well.
"Mr. Sloan, Ms. Stanton, what are you doing here? I believe in Ms. Stanton's innocence. Have you made it clear to the police?”
Nicole smiled and nodded.
"Director, do you have the surveillance footage for this floor?"
The director replied, “The police took one copy, and I have a copy with me."
He would not have taken it out if it was anyone else. Since they were all acquaintances, and Nicole was the party involved, it was no harm to show them.
Nicole and Clayton looked at each other and went straight to the director's office.
The director found the surveillance footage. Nicole sat there and watched carefully.
The footage began when Tina was admitted to the hospital.
Tina was admitted to the hospital around 5: 00 pm. She was not sick, but to dispel people's doubts, she was given a glucose injection.
Then, Tina started to discuss with the lawyer how to protect herself after the transfer of property. It looked boring.
Nicole was getting irritable and was about to fast forward the footage when Clayton stopped her from behind.
"Wait..."
Nicole paused. "There's nothing here.
Shouldn't we focus on seeing who went in after I left the hospital?"
Clayton squinted his eyes and stared at a figure on the screen.
"Is this Mitchell Crawford from Ferguson Corporation?"
The director of the hospital leaned closer -d -
"Yes. I remember that Mitchell contacted me. Eric Ferguson's son suddenly had a fever, and Mitchell sent him over. He was waiting outside at the time."
Clayton frowned. He looked serious.
"Was Mitchell the only one there at that time?"
The director stood there and pondered. "I think he brought a driver and a nanny with him.” "You think?"
Clayton asked in a deep voice.
The director knew that he had made a blunder and quickly said, "I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time and only talked to Mitchell."
He paused. Til get someone to ask around."
Clayton nodded.
The director immediately called the doctor who was on call last night.
Nicole frowned.
"Why are you asking about this? Mitchell is also a senior executive. Why would he kill someone? Wouldn't that be digging his own grave?"
Clayton smiled comfortingly.
"I'm just not letting go of any anomalies. Mitchell probably wouldn't, but who could guarantee that others wouldn't? What's more, why was it all such a coincidence?"
Nicole nodded. Clayton touched her face and comforted her with a smile.
"If I'd known earlier, I would've taken you abroad. It’s so troublesome to stay here."
Nicole said, "No. Let's settle the matter at hand. I don’t want to leave being viewed as a potential suspect."
"My wife is such an upright and strong person!"
Nicole smiled and did not take this unintentional compliment to heart.
Clayton laughed from his chest.
It eased Nicole's anxiousness in an instant.
