Chapter 503 Saving Life in Detention Ce


    Anna’s public trial was about to begin in two days. In thest few days, Joshua had visited the


    detention center several times to see Anna. He imed that the best thing to do at this point was to say


    in court that she had acted in self-defense. Meanwhile, he believed there was a possibility


    she would be found guilty, which made the case trickier.


    A day before the trial, Anna went to the cafeteria after finishing her morning study session. At that


    moment, Zoe, who shared a dorm with her, stopped her. Zoe said she needed to speak with Anna, so


    they went into a nearby restroom. She was flushed from running and appeared to have something very


    important to say. However, she didn’t exin anything but ced a handkerchief in Anna’s hand.


    The handkerchief was heavy and appeared to contain something. Anna wanted to open it to look


    inside, but Zoe grabbed her hand and stopped her.


    “When you see yourwyer, please ask him to send this to my friend. Please!’’ As Zoe pleaded with


    Anna, her eyes were filled with glistening tears. She was panting to catch her breath after saying this.


    Anna wiped Zoe’s tears away and said, “Rx. Tell me what happened.”


    “Ijust found out I’m going to prison after breakfast,” When she finished, Zoe lowered her head. Her sobs


    echoed in the small restroom.


    Hearing that, Anna had no idea how tofort her other than to pat her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry,”


    Anna said. She then stuffed the


    handkerchief into her pocket and reached out to hug the woman in front of 502 Saving Life in Detention


    Ce. a her once more. While resting her chin on the top of her head, Anna gently patted Zoe’s back. As


    Anna knew there was nothing she could say to make Zoe feel better, she remained silent.


    Zoe had been arrested on a counterfeiting charge, used of producing fake drugs. In the past few


    months, a workshop in a Birmingham suburb had made many counterfeit medicines, mainly for


    children.


    The cops had been keeping an eye on them for quite some time. They took over the workshopter


    while Zoe was the only one apprehended. So, the police assumed she was a scapegoat and detained


    her in the detention center for the time being. However, after a thorough investigation, the police


    discovered Zoe’s confession, and the clues pointed to her as the mastermind.


    Anna could not ept this fact because she believed counterfeit manufacturing drugs was a heinous


    crime. As a result, no matter how timid and soft Zoe appeared, Anna could not treat her like before.


    After crying for a while, Zoe was in a better mood. So, they decided to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.


    On their way, Zoe had held Anna’s arm the entire time, and her gaze had been reserved.


    ‘?How’s your feet feeling? Did the blister heal?” Anna asked Zoe with concern.


    “Much better now. Thanks for asking, Anna,” Zoe replied with a smile


    “Well, after you are transferred to the prison, just ignore what others will say about you, okay? Promise


    me, don’t get into another fight with them.”


    “Okay, Anna, | promise. It’s just… Yeah. What that woman said about me was right. | am an evil


    person,” Shaking her head and sighing, Zoe


    looked down at the ground 502 Saving Life in Detention Ce. a


    Not knowing what to say tofort her, Anna heaved a sigh as well. The two had just entered the


    cafeteria when a woman from their dorm room grabbed Anna’s arm and asked, “You’re a doctor, right?


    Something happened in the kitchen”


    She then led Anna upstairs to the kitchen. At this point, a group of people had already gathered at the


    kitchen door. They rushed there to see what happened but were all too scared toe forward.


    The woman led Anna through the crowd and to the center. While walking, Anna could tell that the


    kitchen was a shambles, with shocking blood stains on the stove’s walls. Several cooks stood by with


    knives and spats, staring nkly at the woman on the floor.


    A few broken porcin pieces were scattered around the woman’s hands, and there was blood around


    her body. Her right wrist was swollen with blood from a horrific wound.


    Anna was taken aback by all this. Still, she quickly regained herposure and approached the


    woman to see what was going on with her. And the first thing she did was check to see if she was still


    alive. Anna then examined her wound and pressed her hand against her arm to stop the bleeding.


    “Give me two clean towels,” Anna yelled at the cook standing beside her. Following that, several people


    dashed to the storage room


    “Please call an ambnce!” The woman looked increasingly frail, so Anna said to the guards.


    “The ambnce will be here soon,” one of them answered her quickly.


    After a while, they heard the sound of an ambnceing from downstairs. Several medical workers


    arrived, and Anna helped them carry the woman to the stretcher. 502 Saving Life in Detention Ce. a


    “Her breathing is weak, so | couldn’t take my hands off her,” Anna exined to the medical workers.


    Later, she followed them to the ambnce, her hand pressing firmly on the woman’s arm artery to stop


    the bleeding. A doctor told the guards, “This woman must go to the hospital with us. One of you can go


    with us and bring her backter.”


    “I’ll go with her,” One of the guards dashed out and into the ambnce.


    The nearest hospital around the detention center was about a ten-minute drive away. The ambnce


    sirens wailed the entire way. Fortunately, they arrived at the hospital quickly.


    Once the woman was in the operating room, Anna felt relieved. She sat on a seat in the corridor and


    took a deep breath. The guard who had apanied them took a deep breath and asked, “Will she be


    okay?”


    Anna was unsure of how she should respond. After all, she thought the woman would die on the way


    because she had lost so much blood. After a brief moment, Anna nodded as she knew they did the


    best they could. She was about to say something when one of the doctors said to them


    condescendingly, “Thank you for acting so quickly and stopping her bleeding. Even the chief doctor


    couldn’t have saved her otherwise.”


    This doctor’s voice sounded vaguely familiar to Anna. When she looked up, she noticed a male doctor


    staring at her.

    “adam?” she asked after a brief moment of thought.


    “You still remember me?” Adam asked. He wore a stethoscope around his neck, which made him look


    professional. And he examined Anna’s face while his hands were in the pockets of his white coat.


    Anna was not wearing any makeup, which made her look even more haggard. She wore a white


    sweater with a blue uniform jacket over it. The jacket was a bit loose, making her look frail. 502 Saving


    Life in Detention Ce. a


    “You look so different from thest time | saw you, so | almost didn’t recognize you,” Adam said with a


    fake smile.


    Although Anna knew he was being sarcastic, she didn’t take it personally. She looked up and said tly,


    “You’ve probably seen the news. I’ma suspect now, so I’m obviously different from before.”


    Anna was as assertive as she had always been. Adam felt very uneasy because her confidence and


    firmness made him seem small.
