After saying that, she went back to her police car unwillingly.
As soon as the vehicle was out of sight, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Caleb saved the day again.
Debraâs POV:
As soon as Zoe left, Harlan drove us to a cafe.
Thanks to its remote location, this cafe had turned into Harlanâs safe house in Roz Town.
He often met his informant here, and this place hadnât been exposed yet.
Fortunately for us, there was also a basic medical clinic nearby.
There, we asked a psychiatrist and a gynecologist to examine Emily.
After they conducted the necessary medical exams, one of them said, âSheâs not injured physically, so she mustâve gone crazy from overstimulation or stress.
Itâs difficult to communicate with her because her mind has wandered elsewhere.
Because sheâs been seriously traumatized, itâs my recommendation that she stay here and get âlong-term treatment.
â
âWhat about her baby?â I asked with concern.
âFrankly, the babyâs in bad shape.
Itâs very weak and malnourished.
Itâd be best if she stayed here so that we could monitor her, or else sheâd be running the risk of a miscarriage.
â
âA miscarriage?â My eyes widened in shock.
I had no idea Emilyâs condition was so serious.
âYes.
The babyâs malnourished because the motherâs malnourished, not to mention her mental instability.
If things go on like this, the child wonât make it.
â
The doctorâs words worried me.
I returned to Emilyâs ward with a heavy heart and explained everything to her seriously.
âEmily, you have to get some rest and do whatever the doctor says, okay? Only in this way can your child Live.
Otherwise, you might have a miscarriage.
â
At the mention of a miscarriage, Emilyâs eyes went as wide as saucers, filled with fear and panic.
âOkay, I promise Iâll do whatever the doctor says.
I want my baby to Live!â
Tears welled up in her eyes.
She Looked at me gratefully and whispered, âThank you.
â
Emily had combed her hair and put on the clean clothes I bought for her, so she Looked nothing Like the crazy lady I met in the detention room.
On the contrary, she looked normal.

Harlan stood by the door and stared at Emily for a long time.
All of a sudden, he cleared his throat and asked, âEmily, you said that Adamâs going to sell Roz Town.
Do you have any proof?â
Perhaps Harlan was under the impression that Emily was sober at this time, so he didnât beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
âHuh? Whatâre you talking about?â
Emily was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly seemed to remember something.
She buried her face in her hands and started muttering, âThe childâ¦â
It seemed that something Harlan said had triggered Emily, because she was suddenly muddleheaded again.
Harlan exhaled in disappointment.
âShe goes crazy whenever I try to bring this up.
Maybe I shouldnât have saved her.
â
âHow could you say that?â I looked at Emilyâs round belly.
âThink about the baby.
You saved an innocent life.
â
Harlan wasnât reconciled.
He said bitterly, âWhatâs the use of saving a baby? It wonât help with our investigation, will it? If Zoe found Emily earlier, our cover wouldâve been blown!â
I shook my head and locked eyes with Harlan firmly.
âIf Gale was here, she wouldâve done the same thing.
Have you forgotten how she accepted me and my child into the pack?â
