Chapter 97 Being Threatened to Confess
Chapter 97 Being Threatened to Confess
Selena Holland had told enough.
Georgia understood that she could change nothing.
Only when she noticed Travis’ innocent eyes, she lowered her voice and asked.
“Travis’ leg has not recovered. He doesn’t need to go to the police station for questioning, right?”
Georgia wished Travis could stay at the hospital for recovering rather than be taken to the police station.
She worried Travis would be terrified because he had no idea what that place was for.
“Miss Lane, we have asked him some questions and have a general understanding of his situation. I know you have his brain examined. Anyway, the police will have his brain examined again by some expert, including intelligence and psychiatric evaluations. You needn’t worry him.”
From start till end, Selena Holland sounded gentle and polite, but Georgia’s mind was weighed down.
“I got it. I should tell Travis first before I go with you all, or he will be worried.”
“Okay, Miss Lane. Camden and I will wait for you outside, and please be quick.”
As she finished, she waved at Camden.
And then they walked out of the room.
Georgia moved about Travis’ bed.
Before this, she had been worrying about his mental state and child-level intelligence.
But now she suddenly felt glad about it.
If Travis’ intelligence was at a normal level, the death of Chester Rogers would definitely point to us directly and none of us could get out of it.
And for now Travis at least could stay in the hospital safely for recovering.
“Travis, I’m not wholly recovered yet, and I need to rest in the hospital for one day or two. So these days, you just stay at your won room and wait for me……doctor has said you could be discharged on Friday, and I’ll pick you up by then. If I don’t, Vanessa will come. You know I might be trapped by work. Deal?”
“Gigi……Gigi, you won’t come to see me these days?”
Travis understood what she meant and sounded rather worried and upset.
“Oh Travis, the company I work for called me and told that I may be on a business trip to other cities these days, but I’m not sure about that. Just be prepared for that, okay?”
Travis lowered his head and answered with reluctance.
“Okay. I’ll wait for you in the hospital as you tell me……Gigi, you must come to see me then.”
Georgia smiled faintly but full of sadness in her heart.
She reached her hands to touch Travis’ hair. Few days ago, she took him to the hairdresser to have his hair cut short, as well as his beard.
Now Travis looked the same as the clean and bright boy in her memory.
She must get over the matter of Chester Rogers’ death. Travis can not be involved in any trouble anymore, she thought.
Outside the ward, Selena and Camden stood on either side of the door.
Camden asked Selena with curiosity.
“Do you think it’s true that Georgia Lane pushed Travis Armstrong to kill Chester Rogers? I feel there are so many doubts in this case. I don’t see why the higher-up rushes to question Miss Lane so early? We could do more investigation and there are not enough evidences.”
Selena looked rather grave.
In fact, it was the higher-up of the police station ordered them to take Georgia Lane to the police station.
As a matter of fact, Selena could find out herself with her power that it was Robert Simpson’s mother behind this order.
However, all suspects and existing evidences pointed to her, and Selena can’t overturn it.
“Camden, police acts based on evidences. Now we’re not arresting her but just need her confession.”
As she finished, none of them continued the topic. And just about that moment Georgia opened the door.
She looked towards Selena.
“Officer Holland, we could be off now.”
After getting in the car, Georgia asked Selena who sat beside her.
“Officer Holland, may I make a call now? I want to call my friend and inform her of my whereabouts. I’m afraid she’ll worry about me.”
Selena nodded.
“Miss Lane, you’re not a prisoner. We just take you to the police station for survey and confession.”
Georgia gave her an appreciating smile. It seemed things weren’t that worse.
Then she made a phone call to Vanessa.
Originally she had told Vanessa that she would come back to the hospital for rest after visiting Travis.
Vanessa would come back to her after she visited Annie. Georgia had no idea what she would go through next, so she decided to tell Vanessa that she was taken by the police to help with survey, in the hope not to worry her.
The only thing was that Georgia was hesitated whether or not she should tell the police that she was pregnant, because she wanted to keep it as a secret.
She was particularly afraid that Robert would know about it.
The call was through and Annie’s voice was heard on the other end of the phone.
“Mommy, it’s me… I pick up the phone. What are you doing, mommy?”
Annie sounded vivacious and Georgia felt happy and surprised about it. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
For her, it was good to know that Vanessa was staying with Annie.
“Annie, I am so sorry. I can’t come to see you these days. Hope you have a good time with mommy Vanessa, and I’ll see you by then.”
“It’s all right, mommy. Vanessa has told me that you’re ill in hospital now and you can’t get out of there, just like me. I miss you very much, but I hope you can get well. How nice it will be when both of us recover……”
Annie sounded really vigorous. It seemed that she didn’t feel much pain after she woke. Georgia was extremely happy about that.
“Yes. My little Annie is right. It will be nice if both of us are discharged from hospital.”
Georgia was actually rather sad as she spoke out of it, but she didn’t want to show her weak side in front of her daughter.
She tried to make herself sound happy. Vanessa took over the phone after their little talks.
“Gigi, are you in the hospital now? And what’s the result of Travis’ brain examination?”
“Vanessa, something happened to me here, so I’ll put it briefly. I’m asked to cooperate with the police investigation about Chester Rogers’ death. I have no idea how far the whole matter will go, but if you can’t reach me, you needn’t worry me.”
“There is no big problem about Travis’ examination. The doctor said he has recovered from the blow to the head. The thing is that he needs some stimulation to restore memories.”
“Gigi, how do you feel now, are you okay to go to the police station?”
Vanessa was worried about her. Georgia was pregnant and in doctor’s words, she was rather weak. Vanessa feared something happened to Georgia.
And of course the case about Chester Rogers’ death also made her concerned very much.
She was afraid Georgia would be accused of conducting murder, and by then nothing can be done to save her.
“I’ll manage it. Don’t worry, Vanessa. I’ll look after myself.”
As the call was finished, Georgia looked at Selena with hesitation and wanted to say something, but she didn’t know where to start.
Selena noticed her complicated look and asked gently.
“Miss Lane, please feel free to speak out your thoughts.”
Georgia took a deep breath and asked cautiously.
“Can I tell it to you only? I don’t want others to hear it.”
Selena was hesitated, but Georgia left her a good impression. So Selena thought it was not possible for her to play tricks.
In the bottom of her heart, she would like to believe that Georgia didn’t kill Chester Rogers.
Selena nodded to her.
“All right. I’ll stay closer to you. You can just tell.”
Georgia leaned close to Selena’s ear and whispered.
“Officer Holland, I am pregnant. Something terrible happened to me yesterday and my body suffered a heavy hit. The doctor saved my baby in emergency room. I’m terribly weak now and I forced myself to be discharged from hospital today, which is not good for the baby……so, Officer Holland, I wonder if you can adjust my time for confession. My body condition can’t support me to be questioned for a long time, or if you had interrogation techniques on me, I might not bear it.”
Selena was shocked to hear what she said.
“Miss Lane, the police handle cases in accordance with rules and procedures, and there won’t be the problems you worry about.”
But Georgia was loaded with nasty feelings.
She uttered again.
“Apart from this, there is another request. Can you keep my pregnancy a secret? I don’t want others to know about it and I hope you won’t tell anyone.”
Georgia wore a heavy and serious look. Though Selena felt it was odd, she nodded and promised her.
“I see. Don’t worry about it. I’ll keep it as a secret. And as for the time when you make confession, I’ll let them do it properly and won’t let you wear out. You can rest assured.”
With Selena’s promise, Georgia felt assured a little.
They arrived at the police station and Georgia was taken to interrogation room soon.
Selena and an officer were in and ready to get started.
But as it just went to the basic information about her, Selena’s phone rang.
“Miss Holland, this is Dr. Sheppard from the Central Hospital. Mrs. Phillips got fainted and I only find your contact way from her so I call you.”
Selena immediately got nervous.
“Is she all right? What’s the situation now?”
“Miss Holland, she is still in a coma. Will you come to the hospital?”
Selena got up and spoke to the officer beside her.
“Henry, I got an emergent issue to deal with. You find someone to take my place.”
As she finished, she rushed out.
Georgia didn’t understand why Selena left in such a rush. She sit quietly, but that policeman named Henry Hamilton didn’t call anyone in. He continued to question her on his own.
“Miss Lane, is it you that pushed Travis Armstrong to kill Chester Rogers?”
Henry asked sharply. Georgia was frightened. She felt the man in front of her was gloomy and his look on her was even cold, which made her scared subconsciously.
“I don’t know what are you talking, sir.”
Henry banged on the desk as soon as she spoke.
“Now that Miss Lane is not willing to tell the truth, then don’t blame me for being rude!”
