After saying that, she went back to her police car unwillingly.

As soon as the vehicle was out of sight, I breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Caleb saved the day again.
Debra’s POV:
As soon as Zoe left, Harlan drove us to a cafe.
๊งเผโฌ๐๐ฎ๐ช๐ป๐๐ธ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ต๐ผ.๐๐ธ๐ถโฌเผ๊ง
Thanks to its remote location, this cafe had turned into Harlan’s safe house in Roz Town. He often met his informant here, and this place hadn’t been exposed yet. Fortunately for us, there was also a basic medical clinic nearby.
There, we asked a psychiatrist and a gynecologist to examine Emily. After they conducted the necessary medical exams, one of them said, “She’s not injured physically, so she must’ve gone crazy from overstimulation or stress. It’s difficult to communicate with her because her mind has wandered elsewhere. Because she’s been seriously traumatized, it’s my recommendation that she stay here and get ‘long-term treatment.”
“What about her baby?” I asked with concern. “Frankly, the baby’s in bad shape. It’s very weak and malnourished. It’d be best if she stayed here so that we could monitor her, or else she’d be running the risk of a miscarriage.”
“A miscarriage?” My eyes widened in shock. I had no idea Emily’s condition was so serious.
“Yes. The baby’s malnourished because the mother’s malnourished, not to mention her mental instability. If things go on like this, the child won’t make it.”
The doctor’s words worried me. I returned to Emily’s ward with a heavy heart and explained everything to her seriously. “Emily, you have to get some rest and do whatever the doctor says, okay? Only in this way can your child Live. Otherwise, you might have a miscarriage.”
At the mention of a miscarriage, Emily’s eyes went as wide as saucers, filled with fear and panic. “Okay, I promise I’ll do whatever the doctor says. I want my baby to Live!”
Tears welled up in her eyes. She Looked at me gratefully and whispered, “Thank you.”
Emily had combed her hair and put on the clean clothes I bought for her, so she Looked nothing Like the crazy lady I met in the detention room. On the contrary, she looked normal.

Harlan stood by the door and stared at Emily for a long time. All of a sudden, he cleared his throat and asked, “Emily, you said that Adam’s going to sell Roz Town. Do you have any proof?”
Perhaps Harlan was under the impression that Emily was sober at this time, so he didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
“Huh? What’re you talking about?”
Emily was stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly seemed to remember something. She buried her face in her hands and started muttering, “The child…”
It seemed that something Harlan said had triggered Emily, because she was suddenly muddleheaded again.
Harlan exhaled in disappointment. “She goes crazy whenever I try to bring this up. Maybe I shouldn’t have saved her.”
“How could you say that?” I looked at Emily’s round belly. “Think about the baby. You saved an innocent life.”
Harlan wasn’t reconciled. He said bitterly, “What’s the use of saving a baby? It won’t help with our investigation, will it? If Zoe found Emily earlier, our cover would’ve been blown!”
I shook my head and locked eyes with Harlan firmly. “If Gale was here, she would’ve done the same thing. Have you forgotten how she accepted me and my child into the pack?”
