“Keira Olsen, wake up, what’s wrong with you p>
The policewoman saw Keira Olsen’s movements and hurriedly pushed her.
Keira Olsen slowly opened her eyes amidst confusion.
Usually a strong woman, she was now so weak that her body trembled slightly, “Please help me to the bed p>
“Okay p>
The policewoman hurriedly assisted her and asked, “How are you feeling now p>
Keira Olsen was truly unwell and wouldn’t put up with any grievances for Holly Sims’s sake, she said directly, “I have anemia. Call Holly Sims to come for another blood test; it can be detected now p>
The policewoman frowned upon hearing this and observed Keira Olsen carefully, “Dr. Sims was upset, she probably won’t come again p>
Keira Olsen pursed her lips, “Then you draw the blood and send it for testing p>
The policewoman, “…All right, I’ll go call someone from the forensic department p>
Having said that, she left the cell.
As she was walking out, suddenly Poppy Hill called her, “Officer p>
The policewoman looked at her, “What is it p>
Poppy Hill pointed at the infirmary where Keira Olsen was, “That’s my daughter, isn’t she feeling well? May I take care of her p>
The policewoman was startled, “She’s your daughter p>
Are mothers and daughters being imprisoned together these days?
Poppy Hill nodded, “Yes, my daughter, you can check our family relationship p>
Hearing this, the policewoman took out her phone, logged into the system, and verified their identities; indeed, they were mother and daughter.
The policewoman thought for a moment and, recalling Keira Olsen’s appearance just now, said, “All right p>
Keira Olsen lay on the single bed, having just closed her eyes when the door was opened again.
The forensic pathologist called so quickly?
She struggled to lift her eyelids and saw a figure walk in, followed by that eerie voice, “Keira, don’t be scared, Mom is here p>
Keira Olsen’s body stiffened sharply.
Perhaps due to her weakness, memories from when she was five years old suddenly surged in her mind.
Back then, she was young, without warm clothes in winter, and often caught colds.
Whenever she was ill, Poppy Hill would lock her up, not allowing her to go out, and Mrs. Olsen would always come to see her, feeding her medicine.
But as soon as Mrs. Olsen had left, Poppy Hill would rush to her side, grab her throat forcing her to vomit the medicine she had just swallowed!
She hit the powerless five-year-old and raged in her ears, “You don’t deserve medicine, why don’t you just die from fever p>
“You damned little slut, you have today too! Weren’t you arrogant? Daring to hit Isla Olsen repeatedly, even defying me, sending me to this cell, I’ll strangle you p>
The malicious voice from her memories mixed with the low whispers of the woman in reality, making Keira Olsen subconsciously curl up her body, just like in her childhood, wishing she could shrink into a ball to resist the external pressure.
It felt like she was five again, back in that dimly lit basement.
The room was very dark.
The extreme dizziness brought on by her anemia made it difficult for her to distinguish reality from memories, with countless pleas for mercy murmuring at her lips.
The five-year-old her begged softly, “Mom, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have gotten sick, please don’t hit me p>
But the sharp pain still came from her body.
The hands in front of her gripped her arms, abdomen, thighs, twisting them harshly.
Keira Olsen slowly pursed her lips.
At the age of seven, she already understood that pleading was useless—she could only endure in silence.
But the pain persisted.
The curses continued unabated: “Die! Die! You killed my brother, you should die! I want you to pay with your life p>
By the age of nine, she had learned to resist and wanted to push her away forcefully, but her frail body couldn’t muster the strength, only inviting crazier beatings.
Then came the silent endurance at ten, eleven, twelve…
Until she turned thirteen and started junior high.
Though still slender, she had grown taller than Poppy Hill. She forcefully shoved the woman away, saying coldly, “If you dislike having me as a daughter so much, then I’ll leave p>
She packed a few worn clothes and left the Olsen Family without hesitation…
There was no home for her in the world, but outside, the sky was vast and the sea wide; anywhere but the Olsen home could be her home.
She had grown up and could protect herself now!
Keira Olsen, dizzy and groggy, suddenly opened her eyes, waking from the nightmare p>
Her gaze sharply turned to Poppy Hill in front of her.
Poppy Hill, who was pinching her waist, paused slightly at her movement before both hands swiftly clasped Keira’s neck: “You little slut, what are you looking at? Die! I want you to pay for my brother’s life p>
Keira mustered all her strength, grabbed her wrists, and shoved her away!
Poppy Hill stumbled backward, falling hard to the ground. Just as she tried to charge again, a voice from the doorway asked, “What are you doing p>
Poppy Hill turned and saw Holly Sims with wide eyes, standing at the doorway. She hurriedly opened the iron gate and walked in.
Her eyes swept over Poppy Hill and Keira Olsen, puzzled.
Had she not been mistaken, the two were fighting?
Weren’t they mother and daughter?
Now completely drained, Keira fell back onto the bed, lacking even the strength to move a finger.
In a faint voice, she said, “You arrived just in time, I have anemia… even if you don’t release me on bail, take me to get an infusion, to get iron supplementation right now p>
Before Holly Sims could respond, Poppy Hill sat down hard on the floor: “You have anemia? How could you have so much strength with anemia? The push hurt me terribly! You must be faking it! Fighting here does carry a punishment, after all p>
Holly Sims had just arrived in time to see Keira Olsen open her eyes and shove Poppy Hill. The ferocity in her eyes made Holly Sims feel like she didn’t even know her.
Recalling what Isla Olsen had said, she clenched her fists and firmly declared, “Keira Olsen, I won’t be fooled by you again p>
She turned away and called to the guards: “These two were fighting, take them to solitary confinement immediately p>
At that moment, outside the police station.
The lawyer, having learned they couldn’t get bail, said helplessly, “Mr. Horton, if we want to reapply, we probably have to wait until tomorrow p>
Lewis Horton frowned and looked at Samuel Morgan.
Samuel said, “Considering the dates, we can wait. But the day after tomorrow is absolutely the limit, huh p>
Lewis Horton nodded, feeling a vague sense of unease.
Just then, the policewoman from earlier approached Captain Lincoln and said, “Captain Lincoln, I’ve seen that Keira Olsen looks really unwell. Women can indeed suffer from anemia during their menstrual period. Should we check on her again p>
Hearing this, Samuel, about to leave, suddenly froze. Panic surged through him: “The boss’s period started? This is bad, really bad p>
Lewis Horton’s expression darkened: “What’s wrong p>
In a panic, Samuel said, spinning in distress, “The boss hasn’t had timely iron supplementation and must be severely anemic now! But if we can’t get the bail sorted out, what do we do p>
What to do?
Lewis Horton immediately turned around and ran towards the detention center without hesitation p>
