Now, she felt worried. She would not forgive herself if something happened to her father!
"I feel bad that I told him now..." Scarlett said when Xander stood beside her. "I should have to wait. Wait until he feels well!"
Xander placed his hand on her shoulder. Then he says, "No need to feel that way! Your father deserves to know about Nicole's condition. He deserved to see her for the last time..." He said calmly and squeezed her shoulder gently.
"But, Xander, I didn't tell my dad that Nicole was dead. Should I tell him now or not!?" Scarlett looked up to meet Xander's eyes. At this moment, she felt lost. "...I'm afraid it will trigger his relapse!"
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ "You should wait. Or you can consult Grandpa Robert..." Xander said. He didn't know how to deal with this situation either.
"Oh, you're right! I should have asked his permission first..." She scolded herself for forgetting Grandpa Robert.
While Scarlett and Xander were chatting, it wasn't long before the doctor who examined Jonathan Piers' condition approached them.
"Mr. Riley, Ms. Riley... Mr. Piers' condition has stabilized again, but we are making him sleep for a while. He needs a lot of rest and can't be stressed yet..." The doctor said in his polite tone, but in Scarlett's ears, it was as if she heard a doctor scold her.
She took it! She was indeed wrong.
Immediately, Scarlett left the room with Xander. They will see Grandpa Robert for a consultation.

B Island police station.
Meanwhile, in one of the investigation rooms, Lauren Piers sat in the small room for hours. Still, the detectives have yet to return after asking her many questions earlier today.
They also didn't let her out except once to use the toilet.
She had been in that place for almost 24 hours, and there was no sign of her being released.
Even worse, Lauren couldn't reach anyone, so they took her cell phone. She asked several times for a call, but investigators ignored her. They only allowed her to call her attorney. But until now, the useless lawyer has not been seen.
Lauren was starting to get stressed, considering the condition of her daughter Nicole when she last saw her. She was still unconscious, likewise with Jonathan.
She wanted to get out of this place and go back to the hospital to check on them, but she didn't have a chance.
She realized why she was in this place, because of the sexual assault her daughter had endured. However, she was confused. Who had reported this to the police!?
Shouldn't she be the one reporting Nicole's parents!? As for Jonathan, he is currently unconscious. And Nicole, as a victim, still hasn't woken up either.
"Who is it!?" Lauren muttered while racking her brain to remember. It didn't take long for her body to freeze as the damn child crossed her mind. "...Scarlett!! That damn girl must have done it!!"
Lauren gnashed her teeth, wanting to tear apart that bitch. How could that bitch report this case without consulting her? And why is her status a suspect, not a witness?
She would deal with that bitch if she got out of this place. Now, she needs to beg these stupid cops to ask them to call her lawyer again. She will ask the attorney to cancel this report because she is the mother's victim.
Now she wanted to accompany her husband. She heard before she came to this place there was a doctor who would perform surgery for him, but the doctor was found by that bitch.
She was worried that the doctor was incompetent. That bitch, all she wants is to kill her father and ultimately take the company. She couldn't let that happen!
Can't wait any longer, Lauren stood up from the chair and headed towards the black tinted windows.
Lauren banged on the glass window with all her might. "Hello... Please, I need my phone. I need to talk to someone!!! Please open the door!!"
Even though she shouted so many times until her throat felt hurt, she didn't care. She still does that! She knew someone might hear and see her through the glass wall.
"Please Help! I need to call my daughter! My husband is having surgery... I have to go to the hospital now! Please, open the door!!"
Several minutes passed, and nothing happened. Lauren kept doing that for a few hours, but still, the door behind her wouldn't open.
Then...
Several hours pass again. When her tears started to come out, her legs felt very weak, and about to fall down. At that moment... the door behind her opened.
'Finally, they heard me...' she mumbled.
Lauren turned to look at the door happily. However, the police did not give her a cell phone. They also did not allow her to call her lawyer again. However, she was taken to the detention room.
Too tired to argue, she lay down on the floor and closed her eyes. She sleeps amidst her tears. This was the worst time she had ever experienced in her life — No language could describe how angry she was right now.
In her heart, Lauren swore she would never let that bitch Scarlett Piers escape the humiliation she had created for her. She would make sure to make that bitch suffer! Just like how she felt right now.
The next day...
When she woke up, a policewoman stood in front of her detention room. Her body felt exceptionally aching every time she moved.
She forced herself to sit up and stared at the policewoman without saying anything. It wasn't like she didn't want to say something, but swallowing it made her throat hurt.
"Mrs. Piers, someone wants to see you!"
Immediately Lauren stood up feeling relieved. Finally, someone came to meet her.
What's that bitch Scarlett!? Or the lawyer!?
For now, she doesn't care! She just wanted to meet them and hoped this would end soon.
She followed the police into the interrogation room with light steps and curiosity.
But...
When her eyes saw the man sitting in the room, her anger suddenly overflowed.
