Chapter 1108 Treating James

A slight tremor ran through Joseph's heart. The young girl's fair arms were tightly wrapped around his lean waist. Her tears soaked his shirt, quietly seeping into his skin and seemingly burning him. The heat that resulted made his heart flutter.

His flaring temper was immediately doused by it.

He closed his eyes, swallowing down all the pain and sorrow, together with all the frustration and anger that lurked within them.

Upon seeing Joseph gradually calm down, Lucas slowly released his grip. "Ashlyn is inside. Even if you don't trust me, you should trust her. After all, she is your aunt..."

Once Joseph regained his freedom, he extended his trembling hands, gently embracing the young girl in his arms. He spoke in a hoarse voice. "Lottie, don't be afraid, Dad will definitely be okay." Behind the glass partition, Ashlyn had already ordered the guards to carry James into the prison doctor's office.

She glanced around at the medicine shelf behind the desk, which was filled with all sorts of drugs. However, she didn't see anything she could use.

In her haste, she picked out a few wonder drugs then fed them to James.

Thereafter, she retrieve an IV drip bottle and gathered a few medications needed for the drip. After mixing and shaking them evenly, she injected them into the drip bottle.

She then firmly grasped James' arm and swiftly inserted the needle. Only when the needle pierced into the vein of James' arm did she start to tend to the wounds on his back.

Some wounds were deep and still oozing blood. The frigid environment they were in would only slow down the healing process.

Ashlyn looked at the liquid in the IV drip bottle before reaching into her bag and pulling out a small bottle. She poured out a Rulent 133 pill and stuffed it into James' mouth.

The Rulent 133 pill was meant to strengthen his body, for he had no access to any nutritional supplements in prison.

The sergeant looked on in shock as Ashlyn brought out the pill.

It was mostly unknown to ordinary folk, but the sergeant had once seen such a pill at an auction.

I remember that it was called Rulent something... I heard that one pill alone is worth five hundred thousand. Did she casually feed James one of them? And James swallowed half a million just like that? Who exactly is this woman? What kind of person is she? From the looks of it, she seems to have more than one pill in that small porcelain bottle she's holding.

The sergeant suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Could this woman possibly be some a big shot who keeps a low profile? But I've not heard of such a person in Jadeborough... And then there's that man who's incredibly handsome. I've not heard of any famous lawyers in Jadeborough with the surname Nolan. The only one I've heard of with that name is the lawyer who shocked the entire city in a case years ago. That lawyer hasn't taken a case in years, so how could this young man possibly be him?

Therefore, the sergeant had assumed that famous lawyers were all middle-aged men in their thirties or forties. He could never have imagined that the sensational lawyer, Mr. Nolan, who made headlines years ago, would be standing right there!

Having followed Andrea's orders to torture James, he wondered if there would there be any serious consequences.

The thought made him feel uneasy. I'm just a lowly sergeant, don't...

While considering the situation, he reassured himself repeatedly, No, it can't be. They're just a group of young people, with no background or connections. I surely won't get into trouble. I definitely won't. I just abused a prisoner... it's no big deal.

With that thought in mind, he regained his confidence.

"Tonight, I will stay by his side until he regains consciousness," Ashlyn said coldly to the sergeant. "Since your doctor is not here, it's my duty as a doctor to be responsible for the patient."

"Well..." The sergeant looked uncomfortable. "This might not be appropriate, as you're not part of our staff."

"In that case, can I get you to report this to your superiors and file a request?" Ashlyn remained expressionless. The domineering look in her eyes made it clear that she wasn't taking no for an answer. "Dr. Berry, please don't put me in a difficult position," the sergeant replied, his tone equally firm.
