The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1460

"What Doctor Zac said obviously has something to do with us. Given my wife's current state, can you please allow her to sit in the ward and listen? We promise to not interfere while the statement is being taken."

My eyes were filled with tears. Half of the reason was due to anxiety, while the half was due to my gratitude for Theo. I thought he would persuade me to leave, but he did not.

"I understand how you feel, but we need to follow the regular procedure, so please cooperate." The officer did not make things difficult for us, but he made a gesture and politely asked us to leave.

I stood in place and did not move.

The policeman who stood beside the bed thought about it and said, "I can make an exception for you. Why don't you wait outside the ward first? We’ll let you in after we’ve taken the first statement?”

He walked up and explained, "This is also to ensure the authenticity of the statement. If we don’t go according to procedure and things go wrong in between, it'll make it even harder to find your son. Please cooperate with us."

After a pause, he continued, “You aren’t supposed to be here according to the rules, but I understand your worries as a mother, so you can come in and communicate with Dr. Zac when we take the statement back to the police station. But you must know that this is already against the rules."

I nodded solemnly. "I understand. Thank you, sir."

In the corridor, Theo and I sat side by side. My hands were clenched into fists, and even my cuffs were wrinkled by me.

Time passed. About an hour and a half later, the police officers finally walked out of the ward. The moment I heard the door lock click, I shot up as if a switch had been pressed.

Maybe I stood up too quickly, so my vision suddenly blacked out. Fortunately, Theo caught me in time.
