âOh, howâs your injury?â I asked with concern.
Patting her chest, Sonya replied with a smile, âDonât worry.
Iâve almost recovered completely.
Melanyâs a wonderful doctor, and she charges low.
She has helped me a lot.
â
Indeed, Sonya did look much better.
There was color in her cheeks and light in her eyes.
But considering that Melany was staying in our safe house, it was risky to let others know about it, so I had to lie to Sonya.
âSonya, can you keep Melany a secret for me? She Likes peace and quiet.
If her address is exposed, many people will try to go to her, seeking free treatment.
Iâd hate to inconvenience her.
â
Sonya nodded.
âOf course.
I wonât tell a soul.
â
âWhatâre you two talking about?â
At this time, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
I turned around and saw Zoe walking to us.
She was wearing her police uniform and looked particularly intimidating.
She stopped in front of me and asked suspiciously, âDebra, how come youâre always in close contact with patients who were injured in the accident at the welcoming ceremony?â
She narrowed her eyes at me.
âWhatâre you up to exactly?â

Debraâs POV:
âDebra is innocent, Zoe!â Knowing Zoe was a policewoman, Sonya tried to defend me.
âDebra was just asking about my injury, thatâs all.
The accident at the welcoming ceremony has nothing to do with her.
â
Sonya looked flustered.
Obviously, she had been traumatized by Adamâs violent interrogation tactics.
If she wasnât so determined to vouch for me in front of the police,
Sonya wouldâve retreated by now.
She was trembling like a leaf as she spoke to Zoe.
I felt both touched and sorry for her, so I stood in front of Sonya protectively.
To Zoe, I said sternly, âYouâre scaring her.
â
Zoe frowned and Looked unhappy.
After shooting me a hostile glance, she turned to ask Sonya, âAm I so scary?â
Sonya shrank behind me timidly and didnât dare to answer.
Zoe always had a bad temper.
In fact, the first time we met, she was violent and abusive.
I was worried that sheâd traumatize Sonya, so I changed the subject and asked, âZoe, what brings you here? I donât recall Riley inviting you.
â
âAdam asked me to investigate the accident at the welcoming ceremony.
I came here with Caleb to question Marley about it.
I donât need an invitation,â Zoe said haughtily.
