A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 872 Some Truth

"Yes!" Kieran didn't think Rae Baxter would be injured, and he was blaming himself for a while, if he knew that Rae was injured, he would not have called her! He tried to borrow a wheelchair for Rae, leaving Marcel Hopkins and Rae to wait for him. Marcel held her feet and said strictly, "Rae, you took actions without permission!"

"I was in a rush so I had no time to apply for permission!" Rae said.

"Who do you think you are?" Marcel's tone was very impatient, "You are just a normal policeman, not a leader. You have no obligation to take charge of the overall situation. You have to know your identity and don't overtake something beyond your range!"

Rae blushed, knowing Marcel was taking care of her, even though he said it strictly, she still knew that he was worried about her foot injury. She felt shy and awkward at the same time, so she whispered, "I just want to solve the case quickly. Don’t we only have three days to solve the case? There is still a day and a half, we are short of time!"

"We?" Marcel raised his eyebrows, tried hard to figure out why she said that.

"Means all of us!" Rae shouted with blushing cheek.

Marcel's lips curled up and stopped talking.

Kieran came up and pushed in the wheelchair, Marcel helped Rae sit on it, and then he pushed it himself, and went to the door of the operating room to see how Piper Salinas's situation.

It took about forty minutes. The doctor came out and Marcel showed out his ID. The doctor said to him, "Third degree torn, we couldn’t save the baby, and her cervix is

suspected of being stabbed by an object. Those are all her body situation for now, she needs to rest in bed!"

Rae was completely shocked, was she pregnant? Or she was being sexual abuse all the time?!

She and Marcel looked at each other. When they were exchanged eye sights with each other, Rae eyes were full of doubts. But from Marcel's eyes, he seemed already knew everything. Rae didn't know what he had investigated. As he was the captain, he must have his own arrangements, so he would be confident that everything was in control.

After the doctor left, Rae quickly asked Marcel, "Captain Hopkins, what is going on?"

Marcel took a glance at Kieran, and Kieran said, "I have been following Piper to here. She came back with Kaden Duran, so I kept monitoring her whereabouts. She didn't stay here at the night, and Kaden went out in the morning. He sent someone to follow him, and it seemed that there was nothing suspicious. But today a pot of flowers fell from building at noon and caught our attention. Later, a phone was thrown out with a bloody note said help me on it! So we went up and notified Captain Hopkins..."

That was to say, Kieran and Arlo immediately notified Marcel at the first time, which was totally understandable. After all, Marcel was the captain, so they directly reported to the leader. Although there was a suspicion of leapfrogging the report, Rae had no official position yet. The so-called captain’s secretary was a title without any special rights. She just felt a bit lost. But she knew it was not the good time to feel lost.

They notified Captain Hopkins, and then told her, which was a good call for everyone. First of all, they fawned on Captain Hopkins, and then herself. The wishful thinking was played well, but they were not loyal enough for her.

"We went up together after Captain Hopkins arrived there, and we saw Piper lying on the balcony. There was a rope for binding on the bed. Also, there were a lot of adult utensils spreading on the ground. There were blood stains everywhere from the bed to the balcony...We were totally astonished after seeing the scene."

Rae was also surprised.

Piper was pushed out of the operating room, and Rae saw her face extremely pale.

At the time, someone came here with rush of footsteps in the corridor, followed by a crying voice, "Where is Piper? Where is my Piper?"

Rae turned her head to see a man and a woman coming together, walking in a hurry, with a panic expression. They looked like they were in their fifty’s. They were all frightened when they saw Piper lying in bed! The woman fainted instantly.

The man held the woman's waist and then asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter? Policemen, where are the policemen?"

Marcel showed his ID. "Piper is not in danger anymore, and the operation is successful. I'm the police office, Marcel Hopkins. Let's go to a ward with less people to talk about Piper! It’s better to talk in private!"

The man nodded, slightly letting go of his nervousness.

When nurses asked about arranging the ward, Piper's father asked for a single room.

They went to the ward. Marcel called Piper's parents out alone. Rae did not go with them but waited in the ward.

Piper woke up quickly. She opened her eyes but her eyes were empty. Seeing Rae, she blinked and seemed like there were tears flickering in her eyes.

Rae didn't know how to comfort her, so she stretched out her hand and held her hand that was clenched into a fist in the blanket.

Piper cried out suddenly, "Boohoo--"

Rae held her hand even tighter.

Piper survived from those horrible things, could she tell what she experienced?

Rae thought it might be better to start with Piper to solve the case!

She could imagine what she went through last night.

There were only she and Kaden in the room, and Kaden must cause all injuries.

She also saw the hickey was all over Piper's neck, which was simply inhuman treatment.

And whose child was in her belly? Was it related to Raphael?

Rae couldn't be sure!

For a long time, Piper just cried without saying a word.

Rae waited patiently, maybe Piper would have something to say when she felt better. If Piper was interrupted at this time, she might be more uncomfortable. Rae was afraid she would break down after experiencing so many things!

Letting her cry out would be the best thing for Piper.

After a long time, Piper stopped crying but left the tears on her cheek without wiping. Rae wiped her tears and said softly, "Everything will be okay. Luckily you saved yourself, we need to move forward."

"Can I still do that?" Piper looked at Rae sadly.

Rae nodded seriously, not knowing whether she was to comfort Piper or herself.

At this moment, she felt that to some extent, they all had the similar fates, which was they encountered some irresistible things in their lives, and they could never look back.

But she still cheered herself on, otherwise she didn't know what to rely on to survive. So she comforted Piper and said, "Of course, how could we enjoy life without life?"

Piper suddenly laughed at himself, "Everyone can say the big word, but they would give up when it's his or her turn!"

"We will get through it!" Rae insisted.

"Why don't you ask me the reason I lied to you again and again?" Piper looked at Rae and said slowly, "Foe example, how could I get hurt? You probably guessed the reason right? It's funny, isn't it? I didn’t help Melody Knox when she died. Now my cousin hurt me to half death! It is karma, isn’t it?"

Rae expected that Piper would say something about it, but did not think what Piper would say. Now it seemed that she intended to tell her everything, she didn't know whether she would be happy or sad.

Why did people feel regretted after paying certain prices? It turned out to be too late to fix everything!

But people still liked to say it the other way, it was never too late to fix mistakes!

How could it be possible?

Rae didn't say anything, Piper kept silent for a while, and said, "Aren't you curious why my cousin and I are doing this?"

Rae nodded, "Frankly speaking, I'm not curious and I just want to know the truth. So that I could bring the bad guys to justice!"

Piper disagreed with her, "I'm afraid you are not so selfless!"

"Honestly speaking, I'm really not that selfless. I will also have emotions. I have someone to care about and don't want him to be harmed! Piper, please stand up for others and tell us what you know! "

"But, why should I care about others? My cousin, Joanna Salinas, has died, right? I just learned the news! My cousin treated me well! But she loved Braeden Walls! How could she fall in love with him?"

Rae was startled, also she felt confused. What exactly happened between Braeden and the three sisters of the Salinas family? She knew that Braeden must have a lot of problems as Piper mentioned Braeden several times. "Are you curious about whose child it is? But I didn’t keep them. You may be able to test it out, maybe not! But I can tell you that I had Braeden's child!"

Rae was so shocked.

She had so many hypothesizes, but this one didn’t count into them.

She didn't know if Marcel guessed it.

What was going on? Braeden actually had affairs with all the three sisters of the Salinas family.

Braeden was recognized by Marcel as not an outsider, so he was detained for a long time. Alondra Webb and Kenzie were also controlled by police. Now Shayla Anthony was also in custody, how could they all get involved in the case? As to Raphael, who was related to Mathew. Who was behind the stage? Braeden was in the police station, Alondra was in the hospital, and Kenzie was in custody. By the way, Zack! That man who intended to filter Rae in the night!

Rae felt that the case was about to be solved, but it suddenly became unpredictable. Everything seemed to be an insoluble mystery! However, everything was developing in a good direction.

"Does Braeden know you have his baby?" Rae asked Piper.

Piper remained silent and did not speak for a long time.

At this time, the door was opened. Rae turned her head and saw Marcel and Piper's parents were standing at the door. But Marcel reached out and stopped Piper's parents entering into the ward. They were standing right at the door. Piper continued without noticing them, "He doesn't know yet!"

"So you and Braeden... are in love with each other?" Rae got Marcel’s intentions. She knew that Marcel wanted to lead Piper to say what she knew.

Piper laughed at herself and said, "No we are not. I try to have sex with him but he loves Kenzie, the person I hate the most! But I just love Mr. Walls, I love him so much that I am willing to give birth to his baby. Is it ridiculous? Joanna and I both like Mr. Walls, and the person Braeden loves is Kenzie! Wait! No, Braeden doesn't love Kenzie, he loves himself the most! He keeps relationships with us three and he has sex with all of us! What a shame on us. Now it doesn’t matter anymore, Joanna has gone. Kenzie owns a chaotic private life, but my dad spoils her the most. He probably never knew his eldest daughter is actually a slutty woman, she is just a prostitute! But Braeden is so addicted to her, ha-ha..."

Piper's face was pale, Rae could see the desperate madness in her eyes, besides only hollowness left in her eyes.
