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 specifically come to handle this matter, was about to explain, 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 surveillance 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 accidental death caused by a common traffic accident! 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 need compensation, but they demand that person must go to jail!”
