Chapter 699


    The ambnce and police cars arrived at the Riveras‘ simultaneously. The medical staff were the first


    to rush in, examining the child’s injuries and inquiring about the measures taken by the family. They


    praised the family for their effective rescue, stating that otherwise, the child might not have been saved!


    When the doctors praised them, Lucas nced at Corinne with aplex expression in his eyes.


    Because the child had lost a significant amount of blood, the wound on the back of his head needed to


    be stitched up. The medical personnel lifted Joey onto a stretcher and took him to the hospital for


    further examination and treatment.


    Lucas instructed Edmund to apany the child while he stayed to coordinate with the police. Anya


    did not go with the ambnce to apany Joey because whenever she approached the child, he


    would cry out in fear. The medical staff had to persuade her to step out of the vehicle and not to further


    upset the child.


    She could only get out of the car, but she was worried about what the child might say to Edmund along


    the way.


    After the paramedics took the injured child away, the police approached and asked, “Mister Lucas,


    someone from your family reported that someone killed the boy here, correct?”


    Lucas nodded and described the entire incident to the police.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    The police were somewhat surprised and said, “So you mean the child isn’t dead and has been


    saved?”


    “That’s correct,” Lucas calmly and elegantly replied. “I’m sorry, but because the child’s injuries are


    severe, he needs to receive treatment at the hospital first. Once his condition stabilizes, we can


    cooperate with your investigation.”


    The police nodded in understanding and continued with their routine questioning. “So, who do you


    suspect harmed your child? Do you have any leads?”


    Lucas’s expression becameplicated, and after a moment of silence, he turned his gaze toward


    Corinne. “It’s her.”


    The police and their colleagues all turned to look at Corinne, who stood not far away.


    “You suspect thisdy ofmitting the crime. Do you have any evidence?”


    “We have eyewitnesses. My sister and our family’s servant both saw hermitting the act.”


    After understanding the situation, the police walked toward Corinne with a serious expression and


    asked, “What’s your name?”


    Corinne calmly replied, “Myst name is Carew, and my name is Corinne.”


    One of the police then said, “Corinne Carew, someone has reported that you’re suspected of intentional


    homicide. Now,e with us to the station for questioning.”


    Corinne was unsurprised by this oue and prepared to cooperate, going with them.


    Suddenly, Jeremy’srge hand grabbed her shoulder, stopping the girl who was about to leave. The


    man coldly nced at the police, then narrowed his eyes at Lucas.


    “Mister Lucas, howe you didn’t mention how she disregarded your obstruction and saved the


    child? You didn’t even say a word about it to the police.”


    Lucas‘ eyebrows furrowed as he replied, “She did save Joey, but that doesn’t prove she didn’t harm


    anyone in the first ce.”


    The police were rather confused by this and paused before asking, “What does that mean? Are you


    saying this girl killed the child first and then revived him?”


    Lucas walked over, stood in front of Jeremy and Corinne, and answered, “Yes, that’s exactly what


    happened.”


    Jeremy looked at Lucas expressionlessly and coldly said, “If she truly did hurt someone, why would she


    save them? What’s the logic behind all this? Does it make sense to you?”
