The nurse was almost in tears as she replied with a shaky voice, "This... This is the ointment for Ms.
Lane's wrist. When | was changing the dressings for M s. Lane, | noticed that her wrists are swollen, so | went
ahead and got this from the doctor."
Theo responded to her faintly and waved at her, signaling for her to leave.
After the nurse ran out, he picked up the ointment and said, "Giveyour hands.”
"No thanks." | was still mad, so | did not want to cooperate with him. "I'll do it myself later. | don’t need you to do
it for me.”

hurt me, and | felt a gush of warmth in my heart. "You don't have to be afraid of hurting me. | can't really feel my
wrists now."
Besides, | deserved the pain. | would have to endure iti f it hurt.
Theo looked atand said faintly, "Don’t do such a dangerous stunt in the future. Just tellwhat you want to
do and I'll try my best to do it for you."

rely on him.

well?"
"No need." | shook my head to reject him. "The doctors already applied ointment on the other areas."

A week passed, and the injuries on my body were still not completely healed. Benny's court verdict was out. One
could not count all the bad things he did in Salt Cindy under Grayson and Chief Ford's orders. The worst thing
was that he had even taken a few lives. He was punished for all his wrongdoings. A death sentence was
something he could not escape from. 1
Chief Ford was also sacked, and once they were done investigating him, the court would punish him as well.
Carlson Schuman did not want to let go of the person behind them, so he ordered his people to investigate for
any evidence of Grayson's wrongdoings, but it was an extremely difficult task. Even if they found a lead, i t might
not be enough to bring Grayson down.
| did not lose hope since this was all within my expectations. Besides, | was well prepared for a long battle ahead
of me.
