Billionaire's Reborn Baby
Chapter 389 Criminal Law

Before Eliot could finish his words, the policeman pointed at a room inside, and called a policeman over, "Bring them over."

Although the town police station was not small, there weren't enough offices. They used to have only one interrogation room. However, there were so many people committing crimes every day that the space was not enough at all. As a result, the conference room was changed into an interrogation room.

After Eliot and Sydnee knocked on the door, Mark walked out of the interrogation room and asked, "Are you from City Y?"

"Yes." Eliot looked through the crack of the door and saw a man sitting inside with his head lowered. He was decently dressed. Eliot could even see his polished shoes.

"If you have any additional material evidence, you can give me now. The injuries he caused are not serious enough to make him pay dearly. I think he will be out in two days and maybe get a fine. The situation is not good for you. The victim is unconscious, and her family does not plan to appeal."

Mark thought that Eliot was informed, so he spoke succinctly. Eliot listened for a moment before asking hesitantly, "Did he beat Lynn? Was it domestic violence?"

"Don't you know?" Mark turned to look at him and then Sydnee, "Who are you? Didn't you call the police? Why don't you know anything?"

"I called the police, but only because I received a phone call from Lynn. I don't know the specific situation. I don't even know who is sitting inside. Lynn is my cousin. I live some distance away from her, so I don't see her much, and I don't know how she is doing recently." He explained briefly and asked, "Can I see Lynn first?"

Mark nodded, "Alright, I'll take you there. I'll explain on the way."

Mark was in his forties, and he had a daughter. In his own words, when he arrived at the scene, he almost cried.

Lynn met her current date half a year ago on a blind date. After dating for some time, they thought they could make a good couple, so they got engaged during the New Year. Later, Lynn moved into her fiancé's house.

It was the beginning of Lynn's nightmare.

Lynn's family made a living by selling pickled vegetables. Lynn didn't want to be a housewife and hoped to have a job, but her fiancé did not allow her. This disagreement triggered their first fight. Lynn was knocked unconscious by a slap that night. She woke up the next morning and saw her fiancé begging for forgiveness earnestly.

She forgave him. Why wouldn't she?

Her fiancé had enough money to support her. He just didn't want her to work. Her parents were pleased with her fiancé's family background and called Lynn several times to ask her to be behave. They told Lynn to put her husband a priority no matter what. Also, when her fiancé admitted he had done wrong, he also complained that she wanted to go out to work without considering his feelings. This made Lynn feel that she was to blame for their fight, so she forgave him.

However, he beat her again a week later.

Lynn didn't faint this time. She got a nosebleed. She calmly went back to the bedroom to pack her luggage, planning to go home to leave each other alone. However, she couldn't leave, and couldn't do so from then on.

Mark sneered as he said, "Her parents came to the police station and stayed for less than ten minutes. Then they left in a hurry, saying they were busy in the shop. They didn't even visit her in the hospital. They don't deserve to be parents."

Eliot walked into the ward and saw a mummy-like person. If it weren't for the name "Lynn" written on the sign at the end of the bed, Eliot would hardly have recognized her.

Sydnee couldn't bear to see this and asked Mark, "Why wasn't she concluded as seriously injured?"

"The doctor thought she was just slightly injured. The injuries at her wrists and shoulders were serious, but they were caused when she herself bumped into the door. Her organs and bones weren't seriously injured."

"When will she wake up?" Eliot asked.

"She may have just fallen asleep, but she's not sleeping well. She'll probably wake up soon."

Staring at Lynn, Eliot said, "Mr. Mark, we'll stay here. I'll talk to you after I'm done talking to her about her fiancé."

"Alright, then I'll go back to the police station." Mark nodded and left.

After sitting down, Eliot realized that it was dark outside. He turned to look at Sydnee and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"Are you? I'll go and get some food." Sydnee turned to leave when Eliot stopped her. Eliot said, "No. You don't know this place well. Sit and I'll order takeout."

"What do you want to eat?" He opened an app and asked casually.

"Anything."

Eliot ordered a few dishes. Then, thinking of Lynn, he ordered two portions of porridge. Just then, he saw Sydnee mumbling something to her phone. "What are you reading?" He glanced at her phone and saw many words.

"I'm checking domestic violence in the Criminal Law." Sydnee showed him what she was reading. "I'll pretend to be a lawyer later. I'm very experienced now." Eliot was speechless.

Eliot got her a chair and stood beside her, "Why do you want to help?"

"Isn't she your cousin?" Sydnee said. "I have to help."

Eliot asked, "So you're trying to give me a favor, aren't you?"

Sitting on the chair, Sydnee felt that Eliot's tone was somewhat strange. She nodded and said, "That's what I meant. Also, it so happens that I know this." Eliot didn't say anything.

The ward could accommodate two patients; but given Lynn's condition, she was the only patient in it. There was only a chair and Sydnee occupied it. Eliot didn't sit on the empty bed but stood by the window fo a while. Through the closed window, he saw the evening lights and heavy traffic.

After about ten minutes, Lynn woke up. She panted heavily and shouted something. Sydnee was near her. She grabbed Lynn's hand and tried to console her. "It's okay. You're safe now. We're in the hospital. You're in the hospital bed... You're safe..."

Sydnee had forgotten that she was a complete stranger to Lynn, so she didn't succeed in comforting Lynn. Lynn kept trembling with fear. Eliot came over. He only comforted Emily before. Now, facing a mummy-like cousin who he didn't know well, he didn't want to comfort her at all.

He just stood by the bed and said in a calm voice, "The police just told me about your situation. Now I want to know you what you think."

When Lynn saw his face, she remembered that she had called Eliot, who was far away in City Y before fainting.
