Chapter 88: He's Here

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Keira Olsen, wake up. What's wrong with you?”

The policewoman noticed Keira's condition and nudged her.

Dazed, Keira opened her eyes.

The usually strong-willed woman was trembling from weakness. “Please help me to the bed.”

“Alright.”

The policewoman quickly assisted her to the bed and asked, “How do you feel now?”

Keira was in poor condition, and she wouldn't pretend even for Holly's sake. She said, “I'm anemic. Get Holly Sims to do another blood test. It should show up now.”

At her words, the policewoman frowned, scrutinizing Keira. “Dr. Sims was angry. She probably won't come again.”

Keira pursed her lips. “Then you can draw my blood and send it for testing.” The policewoman said, “Fine, I'll get someone from the forensic department.” Having said that, she left the cell.

As she was leaving, she was suddenly stopped by Poppy Hill, “Excuse me Officer.”

The policewoman turned to her, “What is it?”

Poppy pointed to the ward where Keira was. “That's my daughter. Is she unwell? Can I go look after her?”

The policewoman was taken aback. “She's your daughter?”

Were mothers and daughters sharing prison cells these days?

Poppy nodded, “Yes, yes, that's my daughter. You can check our relationship.” The policewoman took out her phone, logged into the system, and verified their identities. They were indeed mother and daughter.

The policewoman thought for a moment, recalling Keira's condition, and said “Alright.”

Keira, lying on the single bed, had just closed her eyes when the door was opened again.

Did the forensic doctor come so soon?

She barely lifted her eyelids to see a figure walking in, followed by a chilling voice, “Keira, don't be afraid. Mom is here…”

Keira stiffened.

Perhaps due to her weakness, memories of when she was five years old flooded into her head.

At such a young age, without enough warm clothes in winter, she often caught colds.

Every time she got sick, Poppy would lock her away, not letting her go outside Whenever Mrs. Olsen found out, she would always come to see her and give her medication.

But the moment Mrs. Olsen left, Poppy would rush over to her, grab her throat, and force her to throw up the medicine she had just taken.

While beating the defenseless five-year-old child, she furiously berated her in her ear. “You don't deserve medicine! Just live with your fever! Why don't you die?

“You deserve this, bitch! Aren't you mighty? How dare you touch Isla? You've hit her several times, and you dared to defy me, throwing me into this jail. I'll choke you…”

The malicious voice from her memory overlapped with the real-time murmur from the woman, causing Keira to instinctively huddle, just like when she was a child, wishing she could reduce herself to as small as possible to fend off the outside pressure.

It was like she was back to being a five-year-old in that cold dark basement.

The room was dimly lit.

She was suffering from extreme dizziness caused by anemia, which made her unable to distinguish between reality and memory, with pleas for mercy from her dreams escaping her lips.

As a five-year-old, she pleaded in a soft whisper. “Mom, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten sick. Please stop hitting me.”

But sharp pain still coursed through her body.

The woman in front of her still pinched her arms, abdomen, and thighs mercilessly.

Keira pressed her lips together tightly.

By age seven, she understood that pleading was useless, and she could only endure.

The pain persisted.

The curses were unabated. “Die! Die! You killed my brother! You'll pay with your life!”

When Keira was nine years old, she learned to resist, even trying to push away the woman forcefully, but she wasn't strong enough, and it only brought more vicious beatings.

Then there was the toleration at ten years old, eleven years old, twelve years old…

Until she was thirteen and had moved onto high school.

Although she was still lean, she had surpassed Poppy's height. She pushed the woman away, saying, “Since you despise me as your daughter, I'm leaving.” She packed a few worn-out clothes and without hesitation, left the Olsen family…

There was no home for her in the world, but the outside was vast and boundless. Everywhere but the Olsen family could be her home.

She grew up, and she could protect herself!

Keira abruptly opened her eyes, waking up from her nightmare!!

She looked sharply at Poppy, who was right in front of her.

Poppy, who was currently pinching her waist, faltered and immediately reached for Keira's throat, “Bitch, what are you looking at? You should die! You have to pay for killing my brother!”

Exhausting all her strength, Keira grabbed Poppy's wrist and forcefully pushed her away!

Poppy retreated two steps, falling hard onto the ground. Just as she was about to charge again, a voice came from the doorway, “What are you two doing?!” Poppy turned around to see Holly, wide-eyed, standing at the door. She then unhurriedly entered the room.

Her gaze swept across Poppy and Keira, confused.

Was she hallucinating? Were these two women fighting?

Didn't they claim to be mother and daughter?

Keira had exhausted all her strength. She was sprawled out on the bed again without the energy to even move a finger.

She whispered, “You're just in time. I'm anemic…even if you don't release me on bail, you must immediately take me for intravenous infusion, and give me iron supplements…”

Before Holly could speak, Poppy sat down on the floor. “You're anemic? With the strength you've shown? You pushed me! I say you're faking it! You fought in here, and you'll be punished!”

Holly, who just entered, had seen Keira open her eyes and push Poppy away.

The ruthlessness in Keira's eyes made Holly feel as if she didn't know her anymore.

Remembering Isla's words, she clenched her fists and declared, “Keira, I won't be deceived by you this time!”

She turned and called over the prison guard, “They were fighting. Immediately take them to solitary confinement!!”

At the entrance of the police station.

The lawyer received the news that bail had been denied, and he said helplessly “Mr. Horton, if we want to appeal, we would have to wait until tomorrow.”

Lewis frowned at this, looking at Samuel.

Samuel said, “We can wait another day, but the day after is definitely the last chance…”

Lewis nodded, clearly feeling unsettled.

Just then, the policewoman who was just inside came over and said to Captain Lincoln, “Captain Lincoln, I think Keira looks really unwell. Women do tend to get anemic during their period. Should we check again?”

Hearing this, Samuel, who was about to leave stopped in his tracks, turning panicked, “Did Keira's cycle start? We're doomed, doomed…”

Lewis's expression darkened. “What's wrong?”

Samuel was pacing anxiously. “If Keira doesn't get her iron supplements on time, she must have severe anemia now! But what do we do now without bail?”

“What do we do?”

Without hesitation, Lewis turned and rushed towards the holding area!!
