Chapter 108
Moira arrived at the hospital and rushed to Zea’s ward
“Moira!” Tina called out to her.
Moira quickly walked over and asked, “Where’s Zear”
“She’s inside. The police are questioning her,” replied Tina. When she came out, she didg’t fully close the door, leaving it slightly ajar
Just as Moira was about to knock, voices drified out from inside. “I’m not a mistress. Fen noll I don’t even know her! 1 didn’t seduce her husband! How many times do I have to say it for you to believe me?”
Moira’s expression darkened. She pushed the door open and strode in. “Zeal“.
Zea was sitting on the bed, curling up with her arms around her knees. She looked utterly broken and helpless. When she heard Moira’s voice, she turned her head. Her eyes were filled with fear and panic. “Moira…”
Seeing Zea’s battered face, Moira gaped and quickly approached the bed. “How could they do this to your
Even though Tina had told her over the phone that Zea had been beaten, she hadn’t expected it to be this serious.
Zea’s hair was a mess, her cheeks were swollen, and her eyes were bloodshot, making her almost unrecognizable. Her fragile mental state only added to Moira’s worry.
Moira looked at the two officers jotting down notes by the bed and asked, “Have you caught the perpetrations?”
The female officer replied, “We’ll head out after finishing the statement”
“So you haven’t arrested anyone yet?” Moira’s voice rose sharply. Her fare was contoried with anger.
The female officer frowned slightly at Moira but maintained her composure. “We have to follow procedures.
Moura said, “What procedures! My friend was beaten like this. Doesn’t that count as evidence!”
“Ma’am, please calm down. We will apprehend the suspects, but we first need to understand what kind of relationship Ms. Rodriquez had with them first the female officer explained.
“My friend is not a homewrecker! Are you deaft Didn’t you hear her say that? Moira suddenly exploded.
Both officers were startled by her outburst.
“Why are you questioning the victim over and over while letting the perpetrators get away? My friend doesn’t even know them! If she were your family or friend, seeing her like this, wouldn’t it pain your heart?” Maira questioned

After discussing briefly with her colleague, she said. “That’s enough for today. We’ll head back to the station and dispatch officers as soon as possible. Have your friend undergo a medical examination and provide us with the injury report”
At the door, the female officer turned back and added. “Get your friend a psychiatrist. She needs proper counseling. Rest assured, we will bring the perpetrators to justice”
Moira choked out a tearful “thank you”
When the door closed, she looked at her best friend on the bed and said, “Zen”
“Moira, do you believe me! I’m really not a mistress. Ever since that incident. I haven’t even dared to date…” Zea said.
Moira assured firmly, “I believe you!”
Zra looked up at Moira. Her lips were trembling Zea was unable to hold back her emotions any longer. Tears streamed down her face as she threw herself into Moira’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably,
“But I’m finished. My career is ruined. They won’t believe me. Muira, what should I do… Zen said.
