Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2854

Queenie sat on the couch. The moment the doorbell rang, she could not help but jump in shock.

The calming doorbell sound sent shivers down her spine.

Queenie looked at the maid who was going to answer the door.

The maid glanced at the people outside the door who were dressed in uniform. She knew they were the police without needing to ask. She did not immediately open the door. Instead, she looked at Queenie and said, "Madam, the police are here."

Queenie's heart sank. Her throat went dry, and her voice trembled. "Let them in."

The maid nodded and confirmed the identity of the visitors through the video doorbell camera before opening the door for the police.

In a span of a mere minute, the police officers walked in. Francis was leading the way. He should have finished his night shift and gone off duty, but this case was significant, and the chief instructed him to handle it before getting off work.

“Good morning, Mrs. Norman. I'm Officer Francis Brown. We need Ms. Leia's cooperation to investigate a case at the station. We've already spoken to Mr. Norman on the phone, and he told us that Ms. Leia is upstairs. May we take her with us now?" Francis spoke politely.

"She's upstairs." Queenie took a deep breath and looked at the maid. "Take the police upstairs."

Since they had already informed Jack, she did not need to talk to the police.

The maid nodded and led Francis upstairs.

As Queenie watched the three police officers follow the maid up the stairs, she clenched her fists tightly.

The maid led the police officers to the door of Leia's bedroom on the upper floor.

Surabaya rose to her feet and nodded at them when she saw the police officers.

Francis asked in confusion, "Who is this?"

It was difficult for the maid to explain that Surabaya was hired by Jack to look after Leia. Hence, she had no choice but to say, "She’s a guest of the Norman family. Ms. Norman is inside. I'll open the door for you."

Then, she walked to the cabinet, opened a drawer, and took out a bunch of keys.

All the keys to the various locks in Norman Residence were kept here. She needed to find the key to Leia’s room.

Meanwhile, inside the bedroom, Leia heard a man's voice and realized that it was not Dr. Cairn's voice. Overwhelmed with fear, she kicked the door. "Who's out there?"

The noises coming from the bedroom were really loud, and Surabaya scratched her ears. "Please don't mind her..."

Before Surabaya could finish her sentence, Leia interrupted, "Surabaya, who’s out there?!"

Francis frowned. What was going on?

Jack had only told him that Leia was staying at Norman Residence and they could head there to look for her if they needed her cooperation in the investigation.

Surabaya ignored Leia and explained to the accompanying police officers, "Ms. Norman has been in poor health lately, and her emotions haven't been stable. She often engages in dangerous behavior. That’s why Mr. Norman locked her inside to prevent her from affecting others."

Francis nodded in realization. The sounds Leia made just now were hysterical and did not sound like the voice of a normal person.

"Bitch, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Leia felt both anxious and angry when she heard what Surabaya said.

She once had a friend who was mentally fine. However, she was a little short-tempered and disobedient to her parents. In the end, her parents used that as an excuse to send her to a mental hospital, where she was not allowed any visitors. She could not leave either.

Leia was suddenly worried. Had Jack also grown tired of her? Was he going to treat her the same way?

She remembered a TV show she had filmed before, which was related to mental illness.

At that time, she had accompanied the production team to a mental hospital for research. The hospital was relatively standard, but the various treatment methods she saw inside overwhelmed her. They made her feel oppressed and fearful.
