chapter 4

"Though I don't know what method she used, your child was definitely burned to death by her!"

"The real culprit you're looking for is right in front of you, hurry up and arrest her."

Ezra stood in front of the family, shouting loudly with his neck stiffened.

He was emotionally intense and spoke obsessively, even the originally furious family members noticed it.

Julian frowned. "Since both sides question the authenticity of each other's videos, why not hand all the evidence over to the police for handling?"

Ezra sneered at the words, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Julian and me.

He said, "I knew it, after all these days in the hospital, you two have already hooked up, right?"

"Hannah, you're truly disgusting! No wonder even the hospital security guards are scrambling to testify for you."

He deliberately put on a look of disgust.

Julian clenched his fists. "What nonsense are you spouting? When Hannah was brought in, she was unconscious and slept all day. It took several days for her emotions to stabilize."

"And you, as her boyfriend, didn't show up even once during her hospitalization, yet now you dare to slander her innocence without any evidence?"

Ezra sneered. "She suddenly went crazy, what's that got to do with me?"

The onlookers found it strange tooEzra's attitude toward me was nothing like what a devoted boyfriend of ten years should have.

Seeing the crowd hesitate, Ezra grew even more irritable, almost roaring, "The real murderer of your child is right in front of you, what are you hesitating for? Are you even the child's real parents?"

He kept stirring up the emotions of the family members, refusing to stop until he saw me burned to death.

Everyone could tell it wasnt that simple, so they calmed down and waited for the police investigation results.

Soon, four or five police officers walked over from outside the crowd.

The leading officer said, "After the on-site investigation, it was confirmed that the arsonist used this lighter to start the fire. A clear fingerprint was extracted from it, and upon comparison, it was confirmed to belong to Hannah."

A policewoman walked up to me and took out her badge. "Youre Hannah, right? Please come with us to assist in the investigation."

In an instant, I became the target of everyone's criticism again.

The family members pointed trembling fingers at me, their eyes red as they shouted, "Beat this demon to death and avenge our children!"

"Kill her!"

*****

This scene is all too familiar. In my previous life, it was the sameshortly after the fire broke out, I was taken away by the police.

They showed surveillance footage, claiming I was the arsonist who burned over two thousand young patients.

Everything was interconnected, like a web already woven, just waiting for me to step into it.

The police's words caused even greater unrest among the parents on the scene.

If not for the police stopping them, I would probably have been torn to pieces by the furious families by now.

I stepped back behind the police and calmly said, "Don't you want to know who the real culprit is?"

A hint of panic flashed in Ezra and Camila's eyes, but they quickly feigned composure.

Ezra pointed at me angrily and shouted, "Hannah, the police already found your fingerprints, what are you still denying?"

Camila chimed in, "At this point, you might as well confess. Maybe you can get a lighter sentence."

The family members, originally held back by the police, became even more furious, as if they wanted to tear me apart on the spot.

The policewoman frowned slightly and took out handcuffs to take me away. "Hannah, you are currently the prime suspect. We have to take you back for further investigation."

I said, "I didn't kill anyone."

I pulled my hand back, took out my phone, and brought up the hospital's surveillance footage.

The moment the sound played from the video, I curled my lips into a smile. This was the day I had been waiting for.
