The doctor then moved to check her ankle, concern evident in his expression. "It’s badly swollen," he commented, looking at Justin. "We’ll need to take an X-ray to ensure there’s nothing more serious."
Justin offered a nod as the doctor and nurse left the room. Natalie, still processing everything, asked, "It must be my sister, isn’t it?"
Justin hummed in agreement. " Those were her fans. According to a statement given to the police, they were angry at you for hurting their idol. Rest of it you can imagine yourself if they did it on their own or were instigated."
"Hmm, they must be minors too, thinking they can get away with it without any real punishment," Natalie speculated.
"But we filed a report claiming they had the intent to murder, so they won’t escape on the excuse of being just ’crazy fans,’" Justin informed her.
"Good," she replied, meeting his eyes with a knowing look. "You’re intentionally making me stay here, aren’t you?"
"If they’ve gone to such lengths to harm you, you’d better not disappoint them," Justin remarked, his eyes revealing that he had a plan.
Natalie’s thoughts shifted, and she asked, "The video I received about the incident in the hospital with my sister—did you send it?"
He shook his head. "Noah did."
