Chapter 275
The white door of the ward was pushed open from the outside with a creak, followed by the ashen-faced Keysha hurrying into
the ward while holding Fiona’s hand.
Fear spread across Keysha’s delicate face as she tightened her grip on her daughter’s hand and stuttered, “T-There are many
soldiers outside!”
“What did you say?” Moira’s eyes enlarged. “Soldiers? How is that possible? I wouldn’t be surprised if it were the police who
came.”
Jacob caressed Heidi’s braid and said calmly, “All of you, stay here and don’t leave this room. I’ll step out for a while. Be good,
Heidi.”
Encircling the deer’s neck with her arms, Heidi nodded obediently and hummed in response.
After smiling at Heidi, Jacob went out of the room and gently closed the door.
Outside the ward was a space as large as half a basketball court, where twenty solemn-looking soldiers stood neatly with rifles in
their hands.
A young lieutenant stood tall in front of the row of soldiers. On the sleeve of his uniform was a silver military badge that displayed
a sword and a shield.
“Soaring Eagles?” Jacob narrowed his eyes and had his guard on when he sensed the hostile aura from the troop.
Is this a counterattack from the Fest family? After all, the father-in-law of Ryan Fest, the eldest son of the Fest family, is one of
the four vice commanders of Soaring Eagles.
A medical staff member walked out and questioned, “Which force are you guys from? Why didn’t I receive any notice?”
The young lieutenant shot a cold glare at the staff. “We’re from Soaring Eagles. Stay out of this.”
As soon as he said that, the soldiers swiftly lowered their rifles to the height of their chests, emanating a gloomy, threatening
aura.
A chill ran down the medical staff’s spine. “S-Sorry for the interruption. I’ll leave immediately.”
Not only that, all other doctors, nurses, and guests who were present in the clinic due to the accident, hurriedly escaped from the
scene.
In no time, all that was left in the clinic was pin-drop silence and the troop.
“What is it?” Jacob frowned as he stared at the young lieutenant.
“Nothing.” The latter answered indifferently with a straight face.
Inside the ward, Moira and Keysha exchanged glances as they observed the scene outside through the glass window. Nothing?
When then did you bring a troop of armed soldiers here? Don’t tell me you have nothing better to do!
As the atmosphere was getting tenser, the young lieutenant suddenly lifted his right arm. Instantly, the soldiers stepped aside
into two rows, leaving a two-meter walkway in between. At the end of the walkway were two young-looking policemen. Jacob
could tell from one glance that they were junior policemen who had just graduated from the police academy.
Looking timid, the two policemen trod heavily past the soldiers. The young lieutenant nodded at the policemen before taking a
step back, leaving the policemen to directly face Jacob.
One of the policemen’s eyes flickered before he took out a document with an authorized stamp on it and said, “Sir, this is the
arrest warrant. Please follow us to Station No.3 to cooperate with the investigation.”
An arrest warrant?
In the ward, Moira was flustered, while Keysha wore a complicated expression.
As the lieutenant signaled a gesture, the soldiers lifted their rifles and pointed the muzzles at the ground. The atmosphere was
filled with aggression.
“Please come with us.” The other policeman ordered in a deep voice after glancing at the lieutenant.
With his brows knitted, Jacob narrowed his eyes and glanced at the policeman, followed by the elite force behind them who
stood tall and motionless.
