Beyond the Divorce

Before I could even speak, Arton had already noticed me. He seemed a bit surprised, his eyes avoiding mine. "M-Ms. Chloe."

I shot him a stern look, my gaze piercing as I asked, "What are you doing here?"

The tall and sturdy Arton lowered his head, muttering, "I-I just wanted to check on her condition."

"And?" I pressed on.

At that moment, one of the policemen who had retreated into the room earlier ran out. He shouted for a doctor, his voice filled with urgency.

Alarmed, I had a sudden premonition that something was wrong. I rushed toward the room.

Lauren, the remaining police officer, and Arton all followed suit. Simultaneously, a group of medical staff hurried toward Melanie's room.

Upon entering, they checked the instruments, and the doctor shouted, "Quick, initiate resuscitation."

By now, I had also entered the room, witnessing Melanie continuously foaming at the mouth and her body convulsing.

After bending down to smell the expelled substance, the doctor declared, "She's been poisoned! Administer intravenous injection! Move her to the emergency room!"

The nurses acted swiftly, administering antidotes while pushing her toward the emergency room.

At that moment, plainclothed officers rushed in. I quickly instructed them, "Seal the exits."

Meanwhile, those police officers had already restrained Arton.

Just then, Cane entered the scene. I hurriedly informed him of the situation and said, "It must've been Liora. She's wearing a nurse's uniform."

Cane mumbled, "This is beyond our expectations. It seems like she was pushed to her limit. I didn't expect her to act in broad daylight."

Amidst this, a figure in black approached, holding a nurse's uniform. Handing it to Cane, the person stated, "We found this in the trash bin at the corner of the safe passage." Cane quickly said to him, "Hurry, check the surveillance and see if she left the hospital. It might be too late. She left in a hurry."NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Just then, Atlas and another police officer walked in. He didn't expect me here.

I quickly walked to him and said, "I came to check on Melanie and ran into Liora when I came out. I didn't see her face, so I didn't know it was her."

"How is Melanie?" Atlas asked.

"She's in the emergency room. She has been poisoned," I said.

"Don't worry. Liora can't escape," Atlas reassured me.

Cane reported the situation in detail to him.

Atlas instructed the officer, "Go to the room."

Melanie had already been taken to the emergency room, and Arton was handcuffed to the bed in the ward. Seeing my return, he seemed anxious. "Ms. Chloe... I..."

I gave him a withering look and said, "I warned you long ago to stay away from unnecessary trouble, for the sake of your son. You completely disregarded my advice."

Atlas also gave him a cold glance but remained silent. The two officers guarding the room reported to their superior, suspecting collusion between Arton and the perpetrator. They claimed Arton was attempting to divert their attention.

Although Arton was red-faced with anger, he dared not offer any explanations and merely looked at me.

I sternly uttered, "He's not involved.

saw the suspect just before I left We brushed past each other at this door At the time, I didn't think that the nurse was fake."

Then, pointing at Arton, I continued, "I know him. He knows Melanie and wants to check on her. I only came back because I saw him."

Upon hearing my explanation, Arton listened with gratitude.

As soon as I spoke, the police officer with Atlas looked at him, seemingly seeking confirmation.
