86 Anemia
Keira hurriedly said, I
Before she could finish speaking, Holly had already turned around and left.
Keira could only hear her speaking to Captain Lincoln outside the door. Her condition isnt very good. Even if we must interrogate her throughout the night, can we do it without using the light?
Alright, out of respect for Dr. Sims.
Keira sighed quietly.
Holly had vouched for her, saying that she wouldnt released on bail. Samuel immediately rebutted Holly was no wonder she was so angry.
Never mind.
She should be able to keep up with the demands that her condition put on her body for another two days. If Holly could find evidence to prove her innocence within those two days, perhaps she shouldnt apply for bail after all.

Upstairs.
Holly entered the equipment room and placed the blood sample she had drawn from Keiras finger into the machine.
Now all she could do was wait for the machine to analyze the various elements in the blood. This would take twenty minutes.
At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.
The call was from a detention center. She picked up and heard a voice from the other side. Dr. Sims, we heard youre at the station and decided to give you a call. We have a patient here who isnt feeling well. Could you come and take a look?
Holly immediately stood up. Ill be right there.
Even though a forensic doctor and a medical doctor werent the same, she could still diagnose minor
illnesses.
She put on her coat and left.
She soon arrived at the detention center.
This place held suspects who hadnt been tried by the court and some prisoners with sentences of less than

three months.
Keira had just been placed in a solitary cell here.
Holly took a few steps forward and arrived at the cell door indicated by the guard who had called. She then put on a mask and gloves, stepped inside the cell, and coldly asked, Whos not feeling well?
Its me
An unfamiliar yet familiar voice made Holly slightly frown. She turned her head and saw a middle-aged woman in a prison uniform, sitting there with her hands on her belly and an expression of pain on her face. Doctor, my belly hurts so bad. Can you help
me
Holly was taken aback.
Wasnt this woman Poppy Hill, Keiras mother?
She had once attended a parents meeting for Keira in middle school!
Holly immediately walked over and asked with concern, Auntie, whats the matter?
Poppy was suspected of perjury, but as the case wasnt severe, she had been sentenced to fifteen days in
12:35

detention.
She grabbed Hollys hand and said, My belly hurts so badly
Holly immediately reached out to touch her belly, not daring to underestimate the situation. Is it here? Ill take you to the hospital!
Oh, dont touch me! It hurts so much But Poppy looked around with a pained expression and said, Theres no need to go to the hospital. I just have a cold. Officer, can you take me to a solitary cell? My moaning and groaning here is disturbing everyones
rest
Holly immediately nodded, Okay.
Just as she was about to help Poppy out, someone el in the room suddenly yelled out, Oh, my belly also hurts so bad. Officer, could you also take me to the solitary cell?
The rest of the inmates immediately laughed.
My belly hurts as well
Hey, but Im different. I have a headache. Can I go to the single ward, too?

Holly was speechless.
She frowned, about to say something, when someone looked over at Poppy and said, We all eat the same food, but how come youre the only one who got sick? Its been five days inside, but youve been sick for four of them. Are you more delicate than the rest of us?
How come in our ward, youre in such pain, but the moment you get to a single cell, youre fine and snoring away?
Holly frowned, realizing what was going on. Instantly, she looked at Poppy.
Poppys face instantly turned stiff, and then she wailed in despair, I really dont feel well!
Holly clenched her jaw. Ill take you to the hospital then. If the tests show that youre okay and its all an act, Im afraid youll have to stay here a few more days
At these words, Poppy suddenly became nervous.
She didnt want to be locked up here at all.
In here, the cellmates either farted or picked their feet every night. They also slept in all kinds of crazy

positions. On her first night, she couldnt sleep at all
due to the noise.
So she thought of a solution.
But wouldnt it expose her if she went to the hospital?
Poppy gave Holly a pleading smile. I dont need to go to the hospital. Its just a minor illness. I can take it. Ill
live
Holly knew it. Aunt, are you faking it?
Poppy ran to her bed, lifted the blanket, and crawled in. Hey, what kind of language is that for a little cop? How was I pretending? I just had a stomach ache, and now Im better. Whats wrong with that? You wont let me recover from an illness?
Holly was frustrated!
The female prisoner next to her cursed, You really have thick skin, you old rogue. Youre tricking people!
However, Poppy retorted, What was that compared to my daughter? Im nothing compared to her! That little slut cheated me so badly! Shell die in misery!

Just thinking of Keira made Poppy grind her teeth in hatred.
Who would have thought that the girl she tried to turn
into a good-for-nothing was Dr. South?!
Holly only found these words irritating.
With her jaw set, she closed the jail door and quickly went upstairs.
Soon, she had in her hands the latest blood test report. Upon seeing the data on it, her face darkened!
The iron content was normal!
Keira wasnt anemic at all!
Liar!
In that instant, Holly trembled in anger. She wen straight to the interrogation room downstairs and threw the blood report at Keira. Keira, do you enj tricking me time and time again?!
Keira didnt look at the test results. Instead, she sighed. Im not anemic now, but give it a few days.
She had wanted to say that earlier, but Holly left without even hearing her out.

The anemia Keira experienced was strange.

Each time her period came, a large amount of iron was lost, so iron supplements needed to be taken every month in advance.
As long as she didnt bleed on a regular day, her iron content was normal.
After visiting many hospitals, she was finally diagnosed with a rare genetic disease.
Holly clearly hadnt heard of such a thing and found it laughable. Do you think Ill believe the crap youre saying? Keira, cant you at least come up with a better excuse when lying to me?!
Keira tried to explain weakly. I didnt lie to you.
You didnt lie to me? Ive studied medicine for year and never came across a case like yours!
Keira clenched her jaw and fell silent.
Her disease situation was indeed odd, and it was
normal for Holly to be skeptical.
Any further explanation would be pointless.
Seeing that Keira had fallen silent, anger surged within
86 Anemia
Holly.
Captain Lincoln by her side sighed. Dr. Sims, shes been like this all night, not saying a word. Let it go. Ill have someone take her back to jail. Otherwise, our people will have to stay overnight, and we wont get anything out of her anyway
Before hed even finished speaking, Holly yelled angrily, You guys go! Ill stay up with her! I want to see how many more preposterous lies she will tell!!
Captain Lincoln fell silent.
He cleared his throat. Alright, well go get some sleep. If she confesses to anything, call us immediately.
After the group left, only Keira and Holly were l the interrogation room.
Holly sat across from her, staring at her. Why did lie? Why did you apply for bail? Is it because all tho doubts you mentioned dont exist at all? Youre just using me, hoping Id testify that youre not the murderer!
Keira said, Dont worry. I wont agree to bail within the next two days.

After that, she would need treatment.
Holly was taken aback, her eyes brimmed with tears. Do you think saying that will make me forgive you?!
She turned away, wiping the corner of her eye.
Keira didnt speak anymore.
The night had deepened. Whether it was the impending menstrual period or the lack of rest late at night, Keira felt a dull ache in her head and a mild pain in her lower abdomen.
She stayed up all night like this.
By the next morning, Keira began to feel increasingly dizzy
Damn it.
Lack of rest accelerated her period, and she started
become anemic!
Holly hadnt slept all night, and her mind was in chaos
As dawn broke, she glared fiercely at Keira. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed Keiras pale face, devoid of any color
Holly stood up abruptly, panic stricken. Keira, whats
