Chapter <b>398 </b>
However, she did not need an answer.
She was just wondering out loud.
She was just worried.
Eugene’s Adam’s apple bobbed, but he said nothing.
He looked at Mnie, who was lost in her grief, and curled his fingers into fists. He turned around to leave the ward.

However, before he left the room, he stopped in his tracks and looked back at Mnie. <b>He </b>reminded her in a low voice, “Dr. Wells has checked the surveince video. You can <b>see </b><b>it </b>for yourself.”
Mnie did not react to his words<b>. </b>She remained motionless on her knees.
Eugene looked at the old man lying on the bed. <b>He </b>bowed slightly with <b>a </b>serious expression before turning to leave.
Outside the door<b>, </b>Dr. Wells was already waiting for him. When he saw hime out, he asked, <b>“</b>Can we go in now?<b>” </b>
Mnie was a little faster toe out than they had expected. She <b>still </b>did not look <b>too </b>good, but she still followed Dr. Wells and calmly handled <b>the </b>remaining procedures.
When the paperwork was done, Mnie looked up at Xander. “Where are those two?”
She was talking about George and Dn.
Xander said, “The police just got here. They’re in the office now.”
Mnie nodded and headed for the <b>office</b>.
Her face was pale and her figure was thin. From behind, she looked like she was about <b>to </b>fall at any
moment.
Xander did not have time to think. He followed her.
However<b>, </b>someone was one step ahead of him<b>. </b><b>Eugene </b>walked straight toward Mnie expressionlessly.
Xander frowned, but he could not <b>say </b>anything given the current situation. He stared at Eugene’s back for a while and followed closely behind.
Before they reached the office<b>, </b>they could <b>hear </b><b>George </b>shouting inside and Dn’s sorrowful wails.
Mnie did <b>not </b><b>stop </b>walking. She went straight <b>into </b><b>the </b><b>office </b>and looked at the police officer sitting at the desk. Her tone was calm, but her <b>voice </b>was terribly hoarse. “I’m going to charge George Chapman with premeditated murder.”

George jumped up when he heard that. “Bullshit! I was just here to see my father–inw. Fuck you and your murder charge!”
Mnie ignored him. She turned back to Dn and said <b>sinctly</b>, “Was he the one who murdered Grandpa, <b>or </b>were you an <b>aplice </b><b>too</b>?”
Dn was stunned. The injuries on her face were horrible to look at. She stared at Mnie for a long time without saying anything.
Mnie did not give <b>her </b>time to recover. She said, <b>“</b><b>Officer</b>, <b>I </b>want <b>to </b>charge them both. The hospital has surveince footage, and the caregiver is our witness<b>.</b><b>” </b>
As soon as she said that<b>, </b>George realized that Mnie was serious.
He immediately interrupted her. <b>“</b>Officer<b>, </b>don’t listen to her nonsense<b>! </b>I was <b>really </b>just <b>here </b>to see my father–inw. S–She just wants to mess with me on purpose. That’s why she said that<b>! </b>
“I thought it was boring for him to <b>stay </b>alone in the ward, so I wanted to take him out for a breather<b>!</b>” George said without thinking. “I didn’t know that I couldn’t pull <b>that </b>thing <b>out</b>. I could <b>still </b>hear him talking at first, so I thought it would be fine for a while-”
George was still exining nonsensically<b>, </b>but he was basically confessing to his crime.
He looked at Dn, who was simply weeping beside him. He gave her a vicious kick. <b>“</b>Say something<b>, </b>bitch! Your daughter’s gonna charge me for murder, and all you <b>can </b>do <b>is </b><b>cry</b><b>!</b>”
The office was in chaos. Mnie turned <b>away </b><b>in </b><b>silence</b><b>, </b>but she almost ran into someone when she
looked back.
Mnie paused and looked up. There was no expression on her face<b>, </b>but her eyes were like an abandoned wastnd. There was <b>no </b>light in them at all. They were empty and dead.
She just looked at Eugene nkly.
