Upon hearing Samuel Griffith's words, Luke quickly chimed in, "Yes, that's right. This is coercion. Testimonies obtained through coercion are not convincing and will not be accepted in court."

Ella ignored Luke and turned to Samuel with a smile. "Don't worry, Officer Griffith. I know what to do."

After Samuel left, Ella bent down again and lit the charcoal she had brought with her in a basin. Luke watched her actions and felt a chill run down his spine.

"What... what are you going to do? Just now, that officer said that testimonies obtained through coercion are useless..."

"Who said they're useless?" Ella sneered, picking up a piece of charcoal and walking toward him. "Just because the court doesn't accept them doesn't mean I don't. I don't care about evidence or no evidence! Do you really think I arrested you to overturn the case?"

Luke's head buzzed with her words. "If you're not trying to overturn the case, then what do you want?"

    After Director Sam finished speaking, in order not to delay the surgery for the patient, he quickly let the other doctors go to the operating room first. Leo pressed his lips tightly. He was usually reasonable and gentle, but this time he was unusually stubborn. "Director Sam, Lila... she's the girl I like." Director Sam was surprised. No wonder Dr. Leo hadn't dated or married for so many years. It turned out that he already had someone in his heart, but... "If that's the case, I can't let you participate in the surgery even more." Although the hospital did not have a written rule that doctors cannot perform surgery on their loved ones, it had long been an unwritten rule in the medical community. This was because when doctors perform surgery, they need to be fully focused, and any emotional fluctuations could lead to irreversible consequences. After all, how many people can guarantee that their hands won't shake when they are cutting open their loved ones with a knife? No

    Mom Went Abroad?Kai frowned, feeling that things weren’t that simple.Although his mother, Ella, didn’t tell him what she was going to do when she went out today, he knew that her outing must be for something very important — maybe even dangerous. She had repeatedly told his grandparents and him before leaving: Don’t open the door to strangers.At noon, he held back and didn’t call Ella.It wasn’t until after three in the afternoon, past the time Ella had planned to meet his godmother Jenna, that he couldn’t hold back any longer. He called her, but…Her phone was off.At first, Kai thought her work wasn’t finished yet. But when he tried again half an hour later and the phone was still off, a faint sense of unease crept in. Something wasn’t right. His instinct told him to check the security cameras, but he remembered his promise from yesterday: No hacking.Reluctantly, he put the idea aside and called Uncle Leo instead.No answer.Frustrated, Kai ran a hand through his hair.“Broth

    Mr. Kane wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Kane interrupted, "I think Kai misses his dad, right? It's fine, Lila has gone abroad for something, Kaia followed Jenna, and Kai can stay with his dad for a while."Kai pursed his lips and forced a smile. "Grandma is the best."Although Mr. Kane eventually agreed to take Kai to the general Hospital, Leo was a cardiovascular surgeon, so since Kai still complained of stomach pain, they naturally went to the pediatric department first.The doctor listened and examined Kai's little belly with a stethoscope and his hands, then had the grandparents take him to check his excrement. Finally, he remained silent for a while before speaking."He probably ate too much and caught a slight cold. It hasn't reached the point of enteritis, but children's stomachs are delicate and need attention."Mr. and Mrs. Kane breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.As they left the pediatric department with the medicine, the Kanes reflected all the way.

    “Uncle Leo, can I go in and see Mom?”“Your mom just had surgery and needs to rest quietly…”“I’ll be very quiet.”Leo looked at Kai, who was trying hard to look strong, and suddenly thought of himself. He waved his hand. “Okay, you can go in.”Kai turned his head and asked in surprise, “Aren’t you coming in, Uncle Leo?”Leo shook his head. “I... won’t go in.”Kai didn’t insist and pushed the door open to the ward.The ward was so quiet that it made people feel uncomfortable. Kai looked at Ella lying on the hospital bed, wrapped in bandages and wearing a ventilator. Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he couldn’t help the sourness in his eyes.“Mom…”“It’s all my fault.”“I should have noticed something was wrong earlier and come to see you earlier.”Kai gritted his teeth. Tears finally slipped down his pale face, but he wiped them away the next second. He was already a little man and couldn’t be so weak.“Mom, don’t worry. I will take care of Grandma and Grandpa, and also

    Fortunately, Leo didn’t ask for anything else after hearing that."What’s the matter?" he asked.Edwin immediately replied, "Mr. Quinn already knows about the situation in Fairfield. He’s very satisfied with Young Master’s intelligence and decisiveness, so he specifically asked me to inform you to come home this weekend.""Go home?" Leo’s lips curled up, repeating the two words. Edwin recalled what Mr. Quinn had said on the phone today and looked at the man beside him, with a hint of flattery in his expression. " Young Master Leo has been in the hospital all day. He probably doesn’t know that Lucas is critically injured and his life is in danger. When the news came out, the Apex Corp was in chaos.""Speaking of which, we should thank Mrs. Montgomery. If she hadn’t kidnapped Miss Lila's child and angered Lucas, she wouldn’t have been kicked out of the board of directors by Lucas, and things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly for us today."Leo glanced at him."What, has my father already

    Dan smirked, "We all care about your situation, Dr. Leo, not just anyone else." Leo smiled and didn’t say anything else. After driving into the garage, he was about to get out of the car when his phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, his gentle expression immediately turned cold. He lowered his eyes for a few seconds before answering, "Dad?" "Did you have something to do with Edwin's death?" The voice on the phone was imposing, with a natural sense of oppression. Leo’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was tinged with a hint of doubt. "Vice President Edwin? What happened to him?" There was a pause on the other end of the phone, as if judging the truthfulness of Leo’s words. After a while, the voice said calmly, "He was killed last night." "Vice President Edwin is dead?" Leo's tone was slightly surprised, but he quickly regained his composure. "Have you found out who did it?" There was silence on the other end of the phone again. "We're still investigating. Is every

    Los Angeles, USA.Jenna had been waiting under the scorching sun all day, finally getting her shot and finishing her two lines as the vase character. As she got into the nanny car, Amelia, who was looking at her phone, suddenly looked up and gazed at Jenna.Jenna was confused, "What's wrong, Amelia?"With a glance, she saw that Amelia's phone screen was lit up, as if she was scrolling through Instagram. Jenna immediately straightened up, "Amelia, don't worry, I've been waiting obediently on set these past few days, I haven't messed around with any men, I haven't bullied anyone, and I haven't caused any trouble...""Okay, okay, that's enough!" Amelia interrupted her, "It's not about you.""Huh? Did I trend on social media? Then why are you looking at me like that?"Amelia sighed, "I'm just glad that you advised me to sell my shares in the Montgomery Group earlier."As soon as Jenna heard the words "Montgomery Group," she became alert, "What do you mean, Amelia?

    Leo tried to downplay Ella’s injuries as much as possible, but the fact that she still hadn’t woken up was a cause for concern. Despite Jenna worries, she ultimately chose not to impulsively return home, taking into consideration Kaia’s emotional state, after being persuaded by Leo and Amelia.After hanging up the phone, Leo looked down at the woman lying in the bed and let out a sigh. "I wanted you to wake up and see how the Montgomery family is slowly falling apart, but I don’t have the patience to watch those who hurt you continue to thrive.""Ella, you understand me, right?" Leo said, waiting for a response that only came in the form of the mechanical beeping of the machines beside the bed."If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as a yes," he said, feeling a bit childish after saying it. He chuckled and leaned down to kiss her hand, which was wrapped in bandages.Knock knock-There was a knock at the door, and Leo turned to see that it was the security guard. "Dr. Leo, a Miss Lopez

    However, Ella suddenly thought of something and looked up. "Dante, the lawyer, did you hire him?"As expected, Dante was stunned before replying, "How did you know?"Although everyone knew that the mastermind behind the Montgomery family's fire six years ago was not only Leo, but also possibly involved the Lopez family, it was also known that it was difficult to bring down the Lopez family with their current momentum.Therefore, both Ella and Lucas did not act rashly.Yesterday, Leo's lawyer suddenly threw out evidence in court implicating the Lopez family, and Ella felt that the lawyer was suspicious, but she couldn't figure out who arranged it.Until just now, when she heard Dante's words, she suddenly understood that it could only be Dante.Ella suddenly felt warm in her heart.She looked at Dante and bowed deeply. "Thank you."DANTE was confused. "Thank me for what?" After a while, she suddenly reacted, "Wait, you don't think I hired a lawyer to save him, do you? You're wrong. I

    With this thought, Ella suddenly realized that Kaia not only had a poker face like Lucas, but also had some resemblance to Lucas in his facial features."This is...""My son," Lucas lowered his head and said to Kai, "Kai, call Uncle Dante."Kai obediently called out, "Hello, Uncle Dante."Uncle Dante said he was not good at all.He stared at Kai, his face full of disbelief. "This, this child is yours and Lucas'...""Dante I brought the child over for an exam, and time is tight, so I won't chat with you anymore. You can do as you please."Ella didn't want to discuss the issue of her child's identity with this half-stranger so early in the morning, so she smiled at Dante, then took Kai and walked away.Dante had finally run into her, how could he just let her go like this?But he also realized that Ella didn't want to discuss this topic, so after coming back to his senses, he quickly caught up and steered the conversation towards Kai.

    Lucas asked again, "Is there anyone else at home while Amy is out?""There’s a nanny.""Does the nanny take good care of you?"Theo didn’t answer.Lucas frowned at his hesitant expression.If the nanny treated Theo well, he wouldn’t hesitate like this. But if she didn’t, with Theo’s tendency to complain and cause trouble, how could he possibly cover up for her?Could it be that this little guy, at such a young age, had already learned to be afraid of the strong and bully the weak?Thinking of this, Lucas’s expression turned cold."Stand up straight!"Theo trembled and tried to straighten his body like a small pine tree."I’m asking you, is the nanny good to you or not? If you lie, I won’t take care of you anymore."Theo panicked at these words.If Dad didn’t want him and Amy was gone, what would he do in the future?"Not good! The nanny hits me and says I’m a bastard, not Dad’s child! She won’t let me complain to Amy, or else she’ll sell me to a remote mountain and let Amy and Dad nev

    "What's the matter with me?"This mischievous child wouldn’t be able to harm her even if he wanted to.Ella paused and said, "Do you want to talk to him first? Otherwise, I'm standing here at the hospital entrance with people coming and going. It’s not good to block his mouth, but if I don’t block his mouth, I’m afraid he’ll say something harmful to you, Mr. Montgomery."As soon as Lucas heard her call him Mr. Montgomery, he knew she was in a bad mood again and immediately said, "Then give the phone to Theo."Ella handed the phone to Theo’s ear and took the tissue box out of his mouth."You little fox.""Theo, say one more word to her and see what happens."Theo’s fear of Lucas was almost innate, so even though Amy had been brainwashing him these days, saying that his father had been lured away by Lila, the fox spirit, and didn’t want them anymore, he still harbored resentment towards Lucas.But now, when he heard Lucas’s voice, he reflexively closed his mouth and even trembled slight

    Just then, Ella heard a commotion coming from the direction of the TV station entrance, and faintly heard a child crying."You bad guy! Let go of me, I want to find my mommy...""Your mommy doesn't work here anymore! If you keep causing trouble, I'll call the police!""You're lying, my mommy told me yesterday that she's coming to work at the TV station!"Ella listened from afar and felt a sense of familiarity. Could it be that she had just lamented that Amy wasn’t here, and now she had encountered Amy’s child again?She pursed her lips and originally wanted to turn around and leave. After all, even if the child had lost the protection of his mother, since Lucas had woken up, he should take care of him. It wouldn't be long before someone came to take him away, and it wasn’t her place to play the saint at this time.But just as she took two steps, the child’s crying became even louder, and the voice of the security guard didn’t sound as harsh as before, but rather panicked."You, you

    After leaving the court, Ella's mood was not very good.She had planned to go home and take a nap, but she received a call from the delivery company on the way. The furniture she had ordered online out of boredom while recuperating had been delivered in pieces over the past few days.The delivery company had been urging her to pick it up as the furniture took up space in their warehouse.Ella thought for a moment and decided to go to her new home to check on the furniture. She arranged a delivery time with the delivery man and headed to her new home.When she arrived at the doorstep of her new house, the delivery man had just arrived with the children's bed she had ordered. Even with two men carrying it, it took a lot of effort to move the pile of wooden boards.The online store had promised installation, but no one had come to install it even after half a day. Ella contacted customer service and was told that installation had to be scheduled separately. However, all the installati

    "Life-saving benefactor?" Ella remained calm. "I never intended to take him away from the beginning."Lucas, who couldn't fit into his outfit, clung to Ella's hand. "You promised to take me to see the trial together today."Ella replied, "Yes, but I also said last night that we need the doctor's approval. I asked the doctor for you this morning, and he said you have to rest in the hospital."Lucas' face twisted into a bitter gourd. He was about to speak, but the ward door was pushed open at that moment."Lila, the discharge has been processed."Mrs. Kane's voice abruptly stopped.She stared at Ella, then at Lucas, and then at her own precious daughter's hand, tightly held by Lucas.The air fell into a deathly silence.Finally, it was Ella who reacted first. She pulled back her hand and smiled awkwardly at Mrs. Kane. "Um, Mom, Mr. Montgomery has something to discuss with me."Mrs. Kane replied, "Okay, you guys talk first.

    “Lucas?” Ella frowned. “Why did he come to me instead of resting in his own room?”Zane repeated, “Mr. Montgomery has something to discuss with you.”“Why couldn’t he just talk on the phone?”Zane hesitated for a moment before blurting out, “He needs you to answer the phone first.”Ella fell silent. She didn’t mean to ignore Lucas’s calls. When he called in the afternoon, she was on the phone with Officer Philip. After hearing about Kings Lopez’s confession and Leo’s desire to confess, she had no energy left to deal with Lucas’s matters.It was only when she ran into Matt at the hospital and was reminded of some memories from the past that she thought to ask a few questions.Ella rubbed her forehead and didn’t bother explaining to Zane. She pushed open the door and walked in.Mrs. Kane had been guided by Mr. Kane to watch less TV recently, so she still didn’t know about Leo’s car accident, let alone that he was a murderer.She thought Lila might reconcile with Dr. Leo. So when she h

    After asking the question, Matt finally got his answer and stopped being curious.But Ella suddenly remembered something.She turned her head to look at Matt and, imitating his tone, asked a riddle, "That child is not his, right?"Matt: "..."This riddle really stumped Matt for a moment.The child was easy to guess—it was obviously Theo. But who was the "he" in Ella's question? If she was referring to Lucas, then the answer was definitely no.But if she was referring to Theo's father, then the answer would be completely different!After thinking for a while, Matt scratched his head and said, "Didn't we already make it clear that the child's name was Theo?"Ella immediately understood. She guessed it right—or, more accurately, it was Kai who reminded her. The child was actually Lucas’s good friend, Theo's father, Dylan!Ella thought for a moment and asked again, "So he kept the child's identity a secret from me because he had his reasons?"This time, Matt immediately understood that th
