    Half an hourter, they arrived at General Hospital.


    Inside an intensive care unit, Finnegan saw Quiana, who was covered in blood and unconscious due to


    severe injuries.


    Her body was covered in bruises, her head had been struck, and a clump of hair had been yanked out,


    revealing the scalp beneath.


    Her face was marred by over a dozen scratch marks, a sight too gruesome to bear.


    “Finnegan, here’s the thing. Mrs. Larkin-”


    Upon hearing the news, Romona, who had specificallye to handle this matter, was about to


    exin, but Finnegan, with a cold face, interrupted her, “I don’t want to know the cause right now.


    Everyone, get out!”


    He was going to treat Quiana.


    Romona furrowed her brows.


    Seeing that Finnegan’s expression was not good, she could only nod. “Let’s go out first.”


    After she led the people out, Finnegan suppressed his emotions and treated Quiana.


    Alexander who was assisting on the side said, “Your mother has sustained a hematoma in her head, a


    moderate concussion, and there are indications of internal bleeding within the abdominal cavity. She


    also has multiple fractures throughout her body. The situation is not very optimistic.”


    “No worries. Just cooperate with me and she’ll be fine!”


    Romona felt somewhat frustrated after leaving the intensive care unit.


    “What are the findings?” she asked her colleague.


    Her colleague replied, “There are no surveince cameras there, so we can only reconstruct what


    happened through on-site investigation and eyewitness testimonies. At the moment of the incident, the


    injured individual was maneuvering her electric bike after a grocery run, coinciding with the deceased’s


    attempt to cross the street. The suddenness of the situation left neither party with sufficient time to


    react, leading to the unfortunate collision. The deceased, already in his seventies, fell to the ground


    immediately after the collision. A pair of scissors from the vegetable basket he was carrying pierced his


    waist, causing severe bleeding. By the time the medical staff arrived at the scene, there were no signs


    of life. It was an idental death caused by amon traffic ident! But the family members were


    somewhat irrational. They beat up the injured individual on the spot, leaving her seriously injured!”


    Romona furrowed her beautiful brows. “What’s the current attitude of the deceased’s family?”


    Her colleague gave a wry smile. “The deceased’s family is very adamant. They said they’re willing to


    take responsibility for injuring someone. But they insist that the person who injured their elder, resulting


    in his death, must also take responsibility. They don’t needpensation, but they demand that person


    must go to jail!”

    “Do they mean they’re unwilling to settle this peacefully?”


    “Indeed, they are unanimous in their opinion: The injured party should go to jail!”


    Romona was a little annoyed. “It looks like this issue won’t be easy to resolve.”


    She had intended to help Finnegan resolve this matter peacefully.


    If the family of the deceased did not want to do so, then there was nothing that could be done.


    Her colleague asked, “Captain Quickwood, what do we do now?”

    Romona thoughtfully said, “Since they’re being so stubborn, let’s handle this by the book. Take those


    who were involved in the assault back to the police station first. As for the rest, we’ll deal with them


    after Finnegan has finished treating his mother!”


    “Okay,”


    Once her colleague left, Romona pinched the bridge of her nose. She was a bit tired after a night


    without rest. “His sister got into troublest night, and his mother got into one this morning. Finnegart is


    really unlucky these days.”


    Right then, her phone rang.


    She answered the phone. “Hello?”


    After a while, Romona frowned. “A teacher from Jadeborough High School forced a student to jump off


    a building, and when the parents found out, they rushed to the school and injured the person, vowing to


    pursue the matter to the end? Wait… what’s the teacher’s name? Desmond Larkin?”


    Romona’s red lips twitched.


    “Finnegan, what is going on with youtely? Why is your whole family in trouble?”


    Romona then instructed over the phone, “Get the student’s parents under control first, then bring the


    student and Desmond to the hospital. We can’t afford any mishaps.”


    After hanging up the phone, Romona cast aplicated nce at the intensive care unit. She called


    over two colleagues, “Stay here and let me know if Finneganes out.”


    Then, Romona turned around and left, arriving at the entrance of the emergency building.


    It wasn’t long before two ambnces came rushing in.


    Two stretchers were carried down, on one of whichy a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, who


    waspletely unconscious.


    On the othery Desmond, his head bleeding profusely.


    After taking a nce, Romona knew she couldn’t ask anything now. “Get him treated first.”


    She turned to her colleague. “What on earth is going on? How could a teacher drive a student to jump


    off building?”

    “You can’t really me the teacher. It’s the student who went too far.


    The students of Jadeborough High School had all participated in a group morning run.

    However, that student had been hiding in the ssroom ying with his phone instead of going for the


    morning run.


    While Desmond was conducting a ss check, he chanced upon it. He seized the student’s phone and


    directed him to participate in the morning run.


    In an unexpected turn of events, the student was not merely resistant, but he even escted the


    situation by climbing up the window and threatening Desmond to return his phone.


    And then, quite carelessly, he fell from the third floor.


    Desmond was thusbeled as the teacher who drove students to jump off buildings.


    Upon understanding the situation, Romona gave a bitter smile. “This issue isn’t easy to resolve either.”


    Desmond’s actions were in line with his responsibilities as a teacher, and there was inherently nothing


    wrong with it.


    However, in this era, if something happened to a student, regardless of whether the teacher was right


    or wrong, their career was destined toe to an end, and they would have to bear the responsibility.


    Her colleague nodded. “Indeed, it’s a tough situation. The student’s parents are adamant that this


    teacher forced their son to jump off the building. They’re demanding the school and the Department of


    Education to dismiss him, and they even want him thrown in jail.”


    Romona said, “I understand. You go ahead with your work. Let me know if there are any updates.”


    Once her colleagues had left, Romona nced at the time, then promptly drove away from the


    hospital.


    Before long, she arrived at the Wright residence and headed straight for Nathan’s small courtyard.


    When the old man ying chess alone saw her, he couldn’t help teasing her. “Didn’t your grandpa tell


    you to spend your free time visiting Finnegan to build a rtionship instead ofing here?”


    “Are you still my granddad? How could you joke with me like this?” Romona huffed and sat down.


    “Besides, it’s pointless for me to go. Finnegan’s entire family has met with a disaster. He’s likely to lose


    his mind afterward.”


    Upon hearing this, Nathan was taken aback. “A disaster? Wasn’t everything settledst night?”


    With a helpless smile, Romona told Nathan about what had happened to Desmond and Quiana this


    morning.


    Nathan’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.


    “Someone is targeting them on purpose!”


    Romona said in surprise, “That can’t be possible, can it?”


    The situation involving Rhiannon could indeed be perceived as a deliberate act. However, regardless


    of

    how one interpreted it, the incidents concerning Desmond and Quiana appeared to be idental,


    corroborated by the presence of witnesses.


    Nathan said, “Child, such things happen every day, and indeed, it’s quite normal. But if all these things


    happen to one family, isn’t it too much of a coincidence?”


    Reflecting on what Nathan had said, Romona realized it was indeed too much of a coincidence.


    Looking serious, she asked, “Grandpa, are you suggesting that someone is deliberately targeting


    Finnegan’s farnily? Just like what happened to Rhiannonst night?”


    “That’s right!”


    Upon confirmation, Romona immediately stood up. “Il-investigate right now to see who’s so devoid of


    principles that they’d harm someone’s family!”


    Nathan stopped her. “No need. Let Finnegan handle this matter himself. He prefers to handle matters


    concerning his family personally. Just go back to the hospital and keep watch. All you need to do is


    understand what he’s nning to do.”
