Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall by Colby Stanford novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 

The public opinion on the Internet became more and more intense. 

Even in the church, there were some rumors about Emma. 

Some people suspected that Emma did not use her full strength to treat Otis. 

There staff were wondering if they should invite other doctors. They even had the intention to stop Emma from getting closer to Otis. 

Emma felt that there must be a reason for this abnormality. 

“Looks like the mastermind wants to use public opinion to force me away,” Emma and Liam analyzed, “The more the other party tries to make me leave, the more I can’t leave. I have to speed up.” 

After that, Emma was still not in a hurry to detoxify Otis. 

This poison would not endanger his life for the time being. 

However, if the person who poisoned him was not found, even if he was cured this time, he would still be in danger 

in the future. 

Emma asked, “Do you remember the two staff members we met by the well yesterday?” 

Liam said, “What?” 

Emma analyzed, “They said that Fred fell from the stairs and injured the skin on his neck. Don’t forget, there was one more person we didn’t check that day!” 

That day, Emma was supposed to use the UV pen to check on Fred. 

However, at that moment, Christine barged out. 

Christine indeed had powder on her. 

Everyone was agitated. 

Just like that, Fred left without being scanned. 

Emma decided to look for Fred alone. 

Liam offered to accompany her, but Emma refused. “If you go with me, he’ll be wary,” 

Emma said to him gently, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect myself. I’ll tell you everything that happens over there, okay?”

Her voice was especially soft. 

Liam could not resist Emma. No matter how worried he was, he couldn’t refuse now. “Then I’ll help you guard Otis. If you need anything, just press this button.” 

He gave Emma a special alarm device. 

As long as she pressed this button, he would rush over to protect her immediately. 

“Okay. Hubby, you’re so considerate.” Emma was being so cute that Liam could only let her go. 

Fred’s room was some distance away from Otis’s house. 

Emma walked over and smelled a strong smell of herbs. 

When Fred heard that she was coming, he got up to welcome her in the courtyard. “Miss Wilson.” 

Emma subconsciously looked behind his neck. 

That day, she grabbed the neck of the other person in black. In theory, that person’s neck would have the powder 

she left behind. 

However, Fred was wearing gray high–collared clothes today. The wound that was vaguely revealed were also pasted on with ointment. 

It was impossible to see his neck clearly. 

Emma asked, “Is this the wound from your 

from the stairs yesterday?” 

Carefree lowered his head and smiled. “Yes, it’s funny. I am an adult, but I actually fell because I was distracted. 

How embrassing.” 

Emma smiled in response. 

Fred’s move was really ruthless. He smashed the skin on the back of his neck. 

Now that he was badly mutilated, there was no evidence left. 

He must have seen her method of inspecting the powder that day and thought of this countermeasure. 

It seemed like a coincidence, but in fact, there were many suspicious points. 

Seeing that she was smiling without saying anything, Fred asked, “Miss Wilson, why did you come alone? Is there anything you need from me?” 

“Not really,” Emma said as she walked into his room with her hands behind her back and looked around. “It’s just

that I have a few questions about Christine’s interrogation at the police station. I want to discuss them with you.” 

Fred said, “Oh, I see.” 

Emma entered Fred’s room and looked around. 

It was a simple room with a hard bed.. 

The walls were hung with calligraphy written by Otis. [Benevolence.] 

Emma stared at the calligraphy for a long time. 

Fred said, “Reverend Hart wrote this for me a year ago. I hung it by the bed and encouraged myself every day to be 

kind to others.” 

Emma nodded. 

Fred asked, “By the way, you said the police had a few questions. What kind of questions?” 

Emma turned around and looked at Fred. “The police asked when was the last time Christine had a conflict with 

Otis?” 

Fred recalled for a moment. “It… should have happened a month ago.” 

Emma asked, “What was it like?” 

Fred said, “A month ago, Miss Christine came to look for Reverend Hart on her birthday. However, Reverend Hart said that he had separated his connection to the mortal world and his family. Miss Christine suffered a huge blow and caused a big scene that day.”
