Chapter 303


    Chapter 303 Was it an ident or Man-made?


    1…


    Was the subtext that he also wanted to stay here?


    At this, I was at a loss for words, lying in the hospital bed staring at the ceiling, feeling somewhat of a


    headache.


    I didn’t know if it was because of the two guardian angels, but I really fell asleep. When I woke up, it

    was already veryte.


    There was no one in the ward, but the sound of fragmented conversations came from the corridor.


    When I was very small, I slept in such a way that my back hurt a bit. I got up and went to see what was


    going on. When I reached the door, the conversation outside became increasingly clear.


    “Hilda’s death was no ident. She had numerous hidden injuries, clearly indicating she had fought


    with someone before the fire. I must get to the bottom of this,” the voice of Captain Lucas choked up a


    bit.


    I paused for a moment, recalling that after I left the police station, I had heard about a fire at Captain


    Lucas’s house. Because my mother and Alexander had an ident in Dracview, I was too worried at


    the time, so I never asked about what happened at Captain Lucas’s house.


    Hilda died?


    To my surprise, the door of the ward was opened, and Walter and Captain Lucas outside the door both


    looked at me.


    I was stunned for a few seconds, then came back to my senses, looked

    at the two people, tugged at my lips, and said, “I… want to go for a walk.” The door opened too


    suddenly, and I didn’t react for a moment.


    Walter pursed his lips, his voice as cold as ever, “I’ll apany you.”


    I shook my head, wanting to refuse, and looked at Captain Lucas who was standing by, saying, “No


    need, I can go by myself, you guys continue your conversation.”


    Captain Lucas spoke up first, “It’s okay, we’ve finished talking. I have other things to do, you guys carry


    on.


    After speaking, he greeted and left.


    Watching Captain Lucas leave, I nced sideways at Walter standing nearby. There were too many


    questions I was curious about in my mind, but I didn’t know how to start.


    Hesitating, Walter spoke up, “Let’s go.”


    After speaking, he went into the ward, took his coat and draped it over me. We went together to the


    flower bed at the bottom of the hospital building. In the hospital at night, there were peopleing and


    going, some were anxious family members, and some were patients tormented by disease to the point


    of lifelessness. I sat down by the flower bed.


    The winter in River City was dry and cold. It was bearable when there was no wind, but once the wind


    blew it felt like bone-chilling des were cutting into your body.


    “Did Ms. Merchant really die?” I blurted out, not knowing how to ask, so I just asked bluntly.


    Walter seemed to know I would ask this, he nodded, his voice cold and indifferent, “He died after being


    rescued from the fire and taken to the hospital.”

    He summed it up in one sentence. I wanted to ask a lot, but I also knew that Walter was a man of few


    words. After hesitating for a few


    seconds, I couldn’t help but ask, “Was her death an ident or was it man-made?”


    Walter didn’t directly answer my question. Instead, he fell silent for a moment before saying, “Ezra’s


    death angered the people on the border.”


    I almost instantly realized that Captain Lucas had spent these years in River City with the intention of


    wiping out thewless elements endangering our homnd at the border. He had followed the lead of


    my kidnapping years ago and traced it to Ezra. After all these years of struggle, he finally eliminated the


    cancer that was Ezra.


    The group at the border was deeply entrenched, and now that Ezra was dead, it was not hard to


    imagine that his subordinates would not be content. Some people wanted to avenge him, which


    seemed to be an expected matter.


    After returning from Chesterburg, I thought this matter had ended, but now it seems, I’m afraid it might


    have just begun.


    After a few seconds of silence, I couldn’t help but speak up, “Those people couldn’t have been


    targeting Captain Lucas alone, we…” Walter and I had participated in all the activities at that time.


    Sensing what I was thinking, Walter suddenly reached out and held my hand. Hisrge hand was


    warm, almostpletely enveloping my hand in his palm. Seeing me shaking badly, he slightly


    tightened his grip and looked at me, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Ezra. On the surface, this matter was


    handled by Captain Lucas alone. Even if those people want to seek revenge, they won’t find you.


    Besides, this is River City, they wouldn’t dare to mess around.”


    “But Hilda wasn’t also…” I couldn’t finish my sentence, to say I wasn’t


    scared would be a lie. After all, the nightmare from five Wasn’t


    ago was

    still vivid in my mind.


    “Her death hasn’t had a suspect identified yet, these are just our spections, Tabatha, don’t overthink,


    you’ll be fine.” Walter’s voice. was deep and strong, his dark eyes looking at me, serious and earnest.
