"Claude, why do I get the feeling you've been lurking around here just waiting for me, all so you could play my lawyer? Then, when I'm all rattled and trust you enough to ask for your help, you turn around and stabin the back. That way, you and those old sharks from the Hilton clan cout on top, right?" I whispered, my voice low, close to her ear.
His back stiffened noticeably. "Claire, is that really what you think of me?" "That day, you were ready to stand with those old timers against Max at the Hilton estate. Why couldn't you be that kind of person?" He let out a resigned chuckle: "Claire, if this is my last chance, please, believe inone more time." I turned my head away.

"Even if you're a top-notch lawyer, you can't protect a murderer!" "That's right! We saw her kill someone with our own eyes!" The scene quickly descended into chaos as the workers seemed ready to riot.
Claude, protecting me, tried to pushaway from the ER's entrance.
"I'm not leaving." Soon, the ER doctor will finish up and bring someone out. If they're alive, that's the best proof I didn't kill anyone. I don't need a lawyer to argue my case. "Claire, murder is a serious accusation. Even for me, this is going to be a tough battle." I shoved him away. "Claude, do you not believe in my medical skills, or do you think this was all part of your plan, that this person was meant to die no matter what?" He was taken aback by my retort.

"Is it that no matter what I say now, you won't believe me?" "Claude, whether you say something or not, whether you did something or not, it doesn't concern me. I only believe in myself." Just as I finished speaking, the lights in the ER went off.

Seeing so many people at the door, he frowned and removed the mask. "Thankfully, Dr. Floyd acted quickly The patient didn't go into shock from blood loss and is now out of critical danger.

Instead, you've helpedgain a hero's reputation, and put Evergreen Health Center on the map as a place of miraculous healing. ThaOV After saying that, Helen commanded the bodyguards to clear a path for me, leaving a defeated Claude behind, who shouted after me: "Claire, I really didn't do this!" I didn't stop.
Maybe he didn't do it, but what does it have to do with me? He didn't dare in the past and won't care in the I in the ΕΠ future.
Just as I stepped outside, I saw Kearney rushing over with a group. His brow's furrowed the moment he saw me. "How come..." I tilted my head, "Disappointed? Sorry, the person is alive and well, thanks to my timely intervention.
Uncle Kearney, maybe you shoulde think about it. If this was all your doing what do you think will happen to your reputation or your life if I decide to call the cops right now?" I didn't realize I had such a sharp tongue until I spoke those words.
Kearney's face darkened further with rage.
