Chapter 22: Investigation results

Early the next morning, it was only four in the morning, Eric rushed to the hospital to see Egan. He is very careful in walking lightly and without making any noise. Eric didn't want to disturb Egan's sleep. But what Eric could not have expected was that his anxiety and care had been discovered by Egan, and Egan also created a surprise that made Eric startled.
"You've come."
Egan's voice suddenly rang out, causing Eric, who was locking the door, to turn to face Egan's expectant gaze. There was a moment of silence, Eric's body suddenly stiffened. Is this situation different from Eric being caught in the act of committing a crime? No wonder Eric's thoughts went that far, he acted like he was snooping, preparing to carry out a big mission. It sounds funny but the feeling Eric is having is very similar to what he is thinking.
"When did you wake up?" After a moment of confusion, Eric probed: "It's still early, why don't you sleep more?"
"Any news yet?" Without answering the other question, Egan hurriedly asked Eric about the results. Looking more closely, Eric discovered Egan's listless face, Eric guessed that Egan hadn't slept since he left to investigate the matter about Vera. Fortunately, Eric got his hands on the results very soon, but waiting for a while longer, Egan will probably collapse because of his temper.
"Don't tell me you stayed up all night just waiting for me to come?" Eric raised his voice and asked, he meant to criticize and scold Egan's inappropriate actions: "Do you know that you shouldn't do this, you have to think about your health."
Indeed, Eric disagreed with Egan's thought that despite everything, he forgot about his situation. Eric feels frustrated when someone disobeys him. Not to mention he doesn't appreciate his concern and concern for them. And right now the person in question is Egan.
"I can't take a nap." Egan confessed he wanted to gently comfort Eric: "If you can't sleep, it's no use trying. Now tell me what you've learned."
Eric sighed, feeling helpless at Egan's stubbornness. Saying there's no way he'll listen, and yet he doesn't seem to care what other people say or think about him. Truly no one cares about Egan once he makes his own decisions. After all, Egan's life is up to him. Eric knew that even if he said a lot of advice, scolding Egan would ignore all, so he decided to change the subject.
"You take it slow, what's the hurry?" Eric walked over to the bed and reassured Egan: "Sooner or later, it's impossible to come up with a quick solution."
"Hurry up and say something, I can't wait to know." Egan urged: "I've been upset since last night. So don't keep me waiting."
"But..." Eric was about to argue but Egan interrupted.
"I know how to take care of my health. So you can rest assured, don't worry, I will be mentally depressed because of this, affecting my health."
Since Egan had mentioned this, how could Eric refuse Egan anymore? In the end, he had to tell him everything he had just learned. But before that Eric gave me some time to prepare. Eric pulled his chair down and reminded Egan before saying:
"Before I speak, you must promise to stay calm and control all your outbursts of negative emotions."
Hearing Eric's suggestion, Egan raised his eyebrows in confusion. He wondered why Eric made such a request? Is the matter very serious? Alas, even if you are old or young, you may not know. So unable to find the correct answer, Egan met and asked Eric:
"What do you mean by that warning?" Egan looked dubious as he asked again.
"As long as you promise I'll tell, or else..." Eric was talking, but Egan interrupted him.
"Is it serious?" Egan's guess was not wrong: "Are you saying the news might upset me when I hear it?"
Egan was too smart and wise, that's why Eric could not hide it, so he had to admit it.
"That's right and I hope you keep yourself from being agitated, affecting your health." Eric added, "Please don't forget your current state."
"I got it." "I'll try my best not to react too negatively," Egan said.
Seeing Egan's determination, Eric felt satisfied and he got to work.
"Calm down and listen," Eric asked and Egan nodded knowingly.
Clearing Eric's throat, he caught his breath and said:
"According to information obtained from the police as well as Vera's doctor. She was diagnosed with abuse. Before that Vera was kidnapped by traffickers. That night, the night that he had the accident, Ms. She escaped from the abandoned house, they happened to be at the scene where you had the accident. And my guess is she called the police to save you in time."
"Is this information verified?" Egan questioned: "It could be fabricated or fabricated. That's why it can't be easily believed."
"I understand that, so it took a lot of confirmation to conclude." Eric asserts: "Furthermore, the above is taken from 100% of her testimony and the results of her general physical examination show that Vera was indeed abused." Eric had a bit of bitterness in his voice. Just by imagining a woman being brutally beaten by a group of men, Eric could already see the boiling in his blood. Who wouldn't be outraged by that?
"So let me guess, her presence at the scene..." Egan was analyzing the situation according to his speculation when Eric interrupted.
"It's a coincidence." "And you know what, she could have seen the killer's face or, in other words, she was a witness."
"That means she's in danger." Egan immediately concluded with a dumbfounded expression.
Eric made a face of approval at Egan's thought. That's for sure if the mysterious person knows about the whole happenings of that night's accident.
Minutes of silence, Eric's voice sounded:
"According to the nurse who was present from the moment the two were taken to the emergency room until the surgery. Vera volunteered to donate a kidney to him with the desire to save his life, while she wanted to. be dead." Egan continued to tell about the incident: "I think that after what happened to me, Vera didn't want to live anymore, so I decided to donate her kidney to save him."
Egan pondered silently for a moment until Eric's conclusion called him back to reality:
"So it's not like she's an insider or someone planted to get close to you." Eric offered further arguments he found: "If you don't believe it, there's a team of doctors and nurses who were in the emergency room that night who could testify. What Vera said and decided. intend to do is real."
Egan didn't comment, he just glanced at Eric briefly and continued to sink into his thoughts. How should I say Egan is feeling insanely happy when his hope has come true. Vera didn't have any bad intentions, that's just amazing.
"To make sure the above is correct, it's not that the script was written by someone. And Vera was the lead actress tasked with approaching you." Eric revealed more, making Egan look at Eric eagerly: "I have given people information from the police. Currently, they are searching for Vera's kidnapper group. At the scene where Vera declared herself in custody, the police found some traces of Vera's blood and some traces of criminals. That shows that what Vera said is true."
Egan was still listening with mixed emotions welling up. He felt a chill when he imagined Vera being beaten up. Are Vera's talking eyes meant to express her grief?
"Think about it, if there are so many ways to reach you, why does Vera have to make such a difficult choice? Besides, Vera doesn't look like the bad guy." Eric analyzed it from his point of view: "And think about it, the Enemy wants you to die with a human to destroy you. Which is easier?"
Egan pondered and was completely convinced by Eric's sharp arguments.
"It's not over yet." Regardless of whether Egan was listening attentively or just casually, Eric continued, adding: "I've further investigated Vera's background. She currently lives under the supervision of her stepfather. He has another daughter. I did not delve into the relationship of that Family with everyone around, except Vera. As a result, Vera lives a secluded life, she is often surrounded by friends. The school was bullied, shunned, and barely had contact with anyone else. According to some kind neighbors, they weren't certain but it is suspected that Vera suffered abuse from her stepfather, she may have also suffered. he abuses..." Eric hesitated a bit at the end because what he said Brought great damage to the listener.
Hearing this, Egan's blood boiled. He couldn't continue listening anymore. It was too much for him to bear. Oh poor Vera, she doesn't deserve this treatment. An angel needs to be loved. You bastards, they will pay for their crimes. Egan vowed to make the bullies and bullies of Vera cry, grit their teeth, and scream.
"You know it's precise because Vera was sexually abused and harassed by her stepfather, that the possibility of going back to the old house is very unlikely." Egan suddenly analyzed very wisely and wisely: "According to my speculation, it is very likely that Vera found out that her stepfather went to the hospital to bring her back because she did not want to return. Vera ran away. And It's also possible that Vera's stepfather is looking for her too... So..."
"Enough..." Egan gestured to Eric, then he solemnly ordered: "By all means find her for me."
Egan's eyes burned with anger, which proved that the fire of justice in Egan was already raging. Eric clearly understands that Egan is a person who likes fairness, he often helps and protects the weak. And Egan's determination to regain justice for Vera is showing very strong.
"I'm working on it, hope to see results soon," Eric said he did it early because he guessed it would be what Egan wanted to do, too. Furthermore, to prevent Egan from agitating, what better way to prepare something that would calm Egan than something related to finding Vera? Eric is too smart to anticipate things and takes early steps.
"You can rest assured you'll find Vera soon." Seeing Egan's heavy uneasiness, Eric tried to reassure him. This was the first time Eric saw Egan return to the gloomy, sad person like that day. The day Egan's parents and brother died suddenly. Although he is not good at comforting anyone, Eric is trying to get Egan to reduce his negative mood.
"You know good people will have good things. So Vera must have bad things turn good."
"I hope it's as you say." Egan reluctantly believes in that positivity. Once again Egan whispered to God to protect and protect Vera. Don't let her do any harm before he finds her.
...
Back to Vera, the poor girl was still unconscious and didn't know it was dawn.
"Oh my God."
The quiet space in the early morning was suddenly broken by a loud.
A woman happened to be taking out the trash at the place where Vera was unconscious, and she came across a girl lying on the cold ground. She cried out in terror, then summoned up all her courage to approach the body to see how it was, alive or dead.
"Hey lady, did you hear what I said?" The woman kept asking Vera. There was no reply. A timid hand reached out, wanting to touch Vera's pale skin. She jerked back and pulled her hand back at the unpleasant sensation. Although the skin was cold, the victim's breath was still visible. Without further delay, the girl immediately called the police.
Quickly, people took Vera to the nearest hospital, proceeded to take the testimony of the person who found Vera. Vera was taken to a public hospital, which was a dozen blocks away from the hospital where Egan lived.
Vera was fortunate to be discovered in time, so the doctor successfully saved her. The bacteria that are dangerous to the body have been eliminated. The wound at the site of the incision for the kidney should not be infected. Vera was just exhausted from hunger and a lot of walking. Vera was forced to breathe with oxygen because her respiratory system was weakened after lying out in the cold all night. Her body is connected to a lot of pipes, conducting water, carrying protein...
Doctors are working hard to take good care of Vera at the request of the police.
Vera got a very good night's sleep. To be more precise, she lay in a daze, lethargic. Thank heaven and earth that Egan's prayer came true. Vera meets good people to save her.
