Chapter 25: A Lie For Her
"You have suffered too much." he sighed with a pain in his eyes. Nora's fair neck had red marks of fingers. The moment he touched it, she flinched.
Nora's eyes were still closed. Her face was covered with cold sweat and she was shivering lightly. Max felt rage rising in his chest again. How he gave a dose of hemlock to that brutish woman rather than sending her to the police bureau.
"Max.." Max stiffened the way Nora called him in a low voice.
"Dr Maxmillian.." she finally opened her teary eyes and held his hands tightly. "Can you hug me for a second."
"..." surprised, it took him a second to return to his senses. She must be scared. He cursed for his mind and hugged her instantly.
She leaned on his shoulders. It looked like she was having a moment, but then she whispered softly, "Dr. I do not trust anyone here. Please keep this footage with you. This is my chance to get freedom from their claws." he stiffened again. When he thought that she was having a seizure, she was only worried about her future and noticed more than he had.
He let go of her and nodded immediately. He looked back at the worried nurse in the corner.
"Treat her wounds and bring her dinner. I will be back after checking with the police." Once she nodded, Max left the room hurriedly and went to the security room immediately. He copied all the data and saved it on the computer before taking the original and a few more copies with him.
The police officer was waiting for him in his office.
