Chapter 288: Not My Husband
Days had passed, and Rain, along with Alexander and his father, had returned to the Lancaster Ancestral Mansion in the capital city. The only ones absent were the two newlywed couples still enjoying their honeymoon.
Rain stayed occupied with a new case. Today, she stepped out of the office to visit a key victim in the hospital, accompanied by Matt. Alexander had insisted that Matt always stay close to her whenever she was out in the field. Having him around didn’t draw suspicion, as it was natural for an investigator to collaborate with a prosecutor during such cases.
Inside the private hospital room, Rain saw the Minister of Oceans and Fisheries, Mr. Brown, gently feeding porridge to his wife.
"Sir, Prosecutor Lancaster is here," one of his men informed him.
Mr. Brown turned and greeted her warmly. "Ah, Prosecutor Lancaster, thank you for coming."
After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Brown looked at his wife with a gentle smile. "Ella, the prosecution is here. Please, talk to her about what happened."
Ella nodded hesitantly, and Mr. Brown stepped aside, allowing Rain to sit by her bedside.
"How are you feeling?" Rain asked with a warm, reassuring smile.
"I’m feeling much better," Ella replied softly.
Rain leaned in slightly. "Do you think you can tell me everything you remember about your kidnapping?"
Ella gulped but nodded. "I was on my way to visit my parents when another car blocked mine," she began, her voice trembling.
