The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 294

Lucas nodded gracefully. “Then, might I trouble you officers to bring me in to confront the suspect Corinne Carew?”

The police officers exchanged a look with each other before taking Lucas into Corinne’s ward. Jeremy, too, calmly followed them in. However, the police officer standing guard by the door held up his hand and stopped him with a frown on his face.

“Sorry, Mister Jeremy. The case is still under investigation. As someone who’s unrelated to the case, it’s better if you wait outside.”

“How come he can go in, then?” asked Jeremy with a raise of his eyebrow.

The police officer knew he meant Lucas when he was referring to ‘he‘, so he tried to explain as nicely as he could. “He’s related to the case. He’s acting as a witness to circumstantial evidence and has the right to confront the suspect.”

“Who told you I have nothing to do with this case?” asked Jeremy, narrowing his eyes.

“Huh? Mister Jeremy, how are you related to this case…?” asked the police officer curiously.

“I was the one who reported the crime, and I have the right to watch the confrontation unfold.” Jeremy’s tone was one of calmness, yet it carried with it an undeniable sense of oppression.

Indeed, he was the one who reported the crime.

Jeremy instructed Tommy to call the police as soon as they arrived at the crime scene. Therefore, Tommy would understandably give Jeremy’s name as the one making the report.

The police officer could not think of a comeback. After some hesitation, he put down his hand and let Jeremy into the ward.

Seeing him going in, Anya wanted to follow as well, but the same officer put up his hand. “Miss Anya, you’re not allowed in at the moment,” he said gently.

“Mister Police, I’m the victim of this crime, so I have the right to know, too! Besides, I want to go in to look for my brother. I’ll be scared if he’s not by my side…”

Anya was a gorgeous girl, and the way she looked with her big sad puppy eyes and the bandage wrapped around her head would make anyone melt–which was exactly what happened to the police officer. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

After thinking it through, he sighed and put down his hand to allow Anya in.

Then came Rosie and Sunny’s turn. They, too, wanted to go in since everyone was inside.

The police officer’s tone turned sharp when he said, “The two of you stay here.”

Sunny frowned in frustration. “Why can’t I go in when both my brother and sister are in there as well?”

“Who are you? And what are your brother’s and sister’s ,names?” The police officer had never seen Sunny before, so he did not know who he was. In fact, he thought Sunny was nothing but a spoiled, wealthy brat who had it in him to mess up the case. He definitely was not going to let him in if that was the case.

Luckily, Rosie was more skilled at handling this kind of situation. She quickly pulled the naive Sunny aside to stop him from shooting his mouth off. Then, she smiled warmly at the police officer and said, “Officer, I hope you can forgive my friend for his childish behavior. We’re Anya’s family. She was hospitalized after getting into a car accident, then there was the incident yesterday… All of that caused

her to be physically and emotionally unstable. It’s now time for her to take her medicine, which she forgot to do before going in, so it’s best if we give her the medicine now before she collapses from her previous injuries. Can you please turn a blind eye and let us in? I promise we’ll come out as soon as we give her the medicine.”

The police officer frowned and recalled how weak Anya looked moments before she went in.
