Chapter 37 The First Time
Elizabeth pointed to herself. “Bail me out?”
It was a bit unexpected that someone would be here for her before she could even think of
who to call.
Jessica heaved a sigh of relief. “Great! It’s great that someone came to bail you out.”
Elizabeth pointed at Jessica. “Sil, we’re together, so we will leave together as well.”
She held Jessica’s hand as if there was no way she would leave without the latter.
Jessica smiled. “You go and look at who it is first. Then only you bail me out.”
“Ms. Wade, please follow me.” The two policemen spoke in the kindest tone, which made
Elizabeth even more puzzled.
Jessica had already more or less guessed an answer to Elizabeth’s doubts. She figured if it
was not Dominic, then it had to be Matthew.
Jessica could not think of anyone else. What a lucky girl Lizzy is. It’s just that she doesn’t
realize it.
“Wait for me.” Elizabeth glanced at Jessica, reassuring the latter that she wouldn’t leave her
alone.
Elizabeth followed the police out of the interrogation room and went into the office.
There was a sign above that said “Chief Police Officer.” Elizabeth had never been inside at
police station before, and it was the first time she knew that bailers had to deal with the chief.
One of the policemen helped her push the door open. “Ms. Wade, please come in.”
Elizabeth nodded and stepped into the office. Both Dominic and Matthew were there, and a middle- aged man in a police uniform was having coffee with them. He was Omar Beck, the Chief
of Police.
Elizabeth was momentarily stunned. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Then she apologized, “Dominic, I’m sorry to have troubled you.”
She was sure Dominic was the one who had come to bail her out and figured Matthew might
have just come here for work matters.
After all, Matthew’s time in the morning was priceless, and Elizabeth felt that he wouldn’t be
willing to spend it on her.
Dominic walked toward Elizabeth, scrutinizing her from top to bottom.
“Are you injured?” His voice was filled with concem and wolly.
Elizabeth shook her head and reassured, “Jessica has been protecting me. I’m fine.”
She was safe and sound, but Jessica’s face was terribly swollen.
Dominic nodded slightly. “Glad to hear that.”
Matthew was sitting beside Omai, and his face instantly darkened when he heard the
exchange. The atmosphere in the room became tense and awkward,
Seeing that Matthew was visibly displeased, Omar explained, “Ms. Wade, it was Mr. Hilton
who came to bail you out. I also learned about the story behind your case. You were really
righteous and brave. Although Patrick and the others deserve it, you should have used legal
means to deal with such people in the future instead of fighting.”
Elizabeth was afraid of the police ever since she was a child. She lowered her head like a
child who had just made a mistake.
“I’m sony, sir. I understand my mistake. Will you
still in the hospital.”

Omar chuckled when he saw how grave she looked.
Seeing as she was someone Matthew had personally come for, he had to be gentle to her to
show Matthew some respect.

“Ms. Wade, you may just address me as Chief Beck. And yes, your friend may leave with
After that, he said to Matthew, “Mr. Hilton, are you okay with this arrangement?”
Matthew stood up and shook his hand. “Sure. Thank you.”
Then, he turned around and walked toward the door.
Elizabeth nodded to Omar respectfully. “All right. Goodbye, Chief Beck!”
Elizabeth actually hoped they would never see each other again. It was the first time she
entered a police station, and she found the entire experience not the least bit pleasant.
Dominic bade farewell to Omar and walked out of his office alongside Elizabeth.
He was still worried about Elizabeth and looked at her again. Elizabeth’s face and body
looked unscathed, but it looked as if some of her hair had been ripped out.
“Do you and Mr. Hilton know each other?” Dominic asked.
