87 Lies
Keira felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, but it was bearable.
She grabbed Hollys wrist and said, I need to go to the bathroom.
Ill give you a hand.
Holly supported Keiras arm and guided her to the bathroom, quietly waiting outside.
However, she couldnt help but feel worried.
She noticed how pale Keiras face looked and her cold sweat. Could she really be anemic?
Meanwhile, in the visitation room at the detention
center.
Poppy came over with a smile on her face and flattered her daughter. Isla, how come you have time to see
me?
After saying that, she added, You shouldnt have come This isnt a good place. It could bring bad luck.

Despite her avid enthusiasm, she only received a faint smile from Isla, followed by a hesitating gesture.
Poppy immediately expressed her concern. Whats wrong? You look so dreadful. Did something happen?
Her face darkened. Is it Keira again? Did she disrespect you again?
Isla gave a bitter smile. Yes, its about Keira, but she hasnt been disrespectful She has gotten into trouble.
Oh, thats nothing, Poppy scoffed. With her devil-may-care disposition, its only a matter of time she gets herself into trouble. Who did she offend this time? Did she get a lesson?
A smirk of delight came over her face at the thoug
Kieras misfortune.
Isla was choked and found Poppy more and more
foolish.
She had always been like this, wearing everything on her sleeve, completely oblivious to the need to conceal
her emotions.
Isla couldnt figure out how on earth Poppy had managed to swap her place with Keira. It had to be by
87 Lies
some astounding stroke of luck.
Isla cast her eyes down after a brief flicker in them. Its not that she offended someone. She she committed murder and is now in police custody.
What great news! Poppy immediately brightened up. Will that reprobate be sentenced to death? She wont bother you anymore!
Isla was speechless.
She glanced at Poppy with sympathy, then coughed slightly. She killed Finley Hill.
Why should I care who she Who?! Isla, who did you say? Finley? Did I hear you wrong?!
Poppy lunged at the table, her emotional state drastically heightened.
She only had one brother. Even though he used to mess things around, Poppy loved him dearly.
Isla sighed. Actually, you cant really blame Keira. I heard that Finley demanded five million from her. When she refused, during the tug of war, Finley accidentally fell onto a steel bar and was pierced through the chest He died on the spot. Aunt Hill,

please dont get over-excited. Keira is, after all, Dr. South and your daughter. She should indeed be very rich, but five million is still no small sum. Its only normal for her to not want to give it.
Nonetheless, Poppys eyes bulged out, her eyeballs bloodshot. She stood up abruptly. That ungrateful creature! She killed Finley over five million?! I shouldnt have raised her up, I should have drowned her as soon as she was born! Where is she? I am gonna kill her! Ill take revenge for Finley!!
Her excessive emotional reaction prompted an immediate warning from a nearby police officer.
After a while, Poppy calmed down a bit, but the fun her eyes showed no sign of abating.
Isla said, Aunt Hill, the two involved are both your close relatives. I think you have the right to know, s told you. Please dont do anything rash.
Poppy appeared dazed, tears streaming down from he reddened eyes. She reassured Isla. Dont worry, Isla, Im fine Im fine
Only then did Isla speak, Alright, you should go back. IIll go and see Keira

Wh
bother visiting her? A death-row inmate! I cant wait to see her executed! Poppy uttered venomously.
Isla stared at her in disbelief. Aunt Hill, Keira is charged with manslaughter. The maximum sentence is ten years
How could that be?! Thats letting her off too easily!
Seeing how Poppy completely missed the point of her statement, Isla sighed. Aunt Hill, Keira didnt do it on purpose, and she must be scared as well. If you happen to see her in the detention center, remember to
comfort her.
Poppy finally processed what she had heard.
Shes also held here?!
Isla nodded. Yes, she hasnt been sentenced yet, so shes temporarily detained in a single room. It should be close to where you are, right?
The multi-bed wards and single rooms were all in one
place.
Poppy narrowed her eyes, revealing a ferocious look.
Thats good.

Isla stood up. Aunt Hill, its about time. I need to go.
Poppy was reluctant to see her leave. Isla, you should marry Jake and settle down with the Horton family happily. Take care of yourself, and dont concern yourself with me
But Isla had already left the visiting room, completely disregarding her words.
She left the visiting room and was preparing to leave the police station when she saw her old classmate Holly anxiously standing near the restroom door.
A policewoman nearby asked, Dr. Sims, the lawyer of the suspect, Keira, came early in the morning again, asking about our decision on her pre-trial releas to medical reasons. Judging by the suspects look now, she seems to be really anemic. So, is it appro
or not?
Holly frowned upon hearing this.
She anxiously looked into the restroom and remembered Keiras frailty. She was about to say I agree when Captain Lincoln walked over.
Captain Lincoln had also heard the conversation, so h

Holly retorted. Shes not pretending.
Captain Lincoln snorted coldly. Dr. Sims, have you forgotten how she fooled you yesterday? You believe this? I remember you made an oath last night that if she gets a pre-trial release, you would quit the police force. You didnt forget that, did you?
Holly clenched her jaw. Captain Lincoln, she really isnt feeling well
But Captain Lincoln wasnt convinced. Very
interesting. Shes been detained for just one day, and shes already not feeling well. The delicate little miss cant take a bit of suffering huh
As Holly was about to reply, Isla stepped forward Hello, are you discussing my sister Keira?
They all looked at her.

Holly frowned slightly. What are you doing here?
Isla looked somewhat anxious as she pulled Holly aside, Dr. Sims, about my sisters health
Holly immediately took on a serious expression. She knew that Isla was Keiras sister. In middle school, aft Isla found out about their real identity, she

started to behave smarter and stopped bullying Keira in school.
Hence, Holly wasnt aware of the bad relationship
between the two sisters. She moved aside with Isla and asked with concern, Whats wrong with Keira?
Isla sighed. She probably got her period. Every month during this time, she suffers, and its natural for
women. You understand.
Holly immediately relaxed.
As long as Keira wasnt ill.
Right afterward, Isla grabbed her hand. Holly, we were classmates back in middle school. Can you help Kei? Agree to her pretrial release, will you?
Hollys face suddenly darkened.
Isla didnt seem to notice but continued. We wome all go through this every month. We look pale and anemic. Were all old classmates. Lets sign the papers We promise not to leave
Holly abruptly pulled her hand away. Youre dreaming This is a law enforcement agency! You cant negotiate prices here!

She looked at the restroom forcefully then at Captain Lincoln. She doesnt qualify for pre-trial release. Send her straight back to the detention center!
Only then did Captain Lincoln look satisfied. Good. You understand.
Holly didnt want to stay any longer and immediately walked away, up the stairs toward the forensic department.
When Keira emerged from the washroom, looking pale, there was a policewoman waiting for her. As soon as she saw Keira, she scoffed. Miss Olsen, is it just your period? Were all women here. Stop the act! Get back and wait for the next trial!
Keiras legs seemed weak as she was hurried back the single-person cell.
The moment she entered, everything before her eye turned black as she collapsed
Upstairs, Holly was getting more and more frustrated.
But she still couldnt get over the image of Keiras pale bloodless face from her mind

Unable to suppress her kindness, she poured a cup of
honey water from her flask and walked to the
detention center.
