Spoiled By My Bossy CEO Husband novel Chapter 134

Acquitted?

Lottie frowned. "Did you mishear?"

How could Claudia be acquitted?

As the witness of the kidnapping of Natalia that day, she did not overturn the testimony, nor did she cancel the report. With overwhelming evidence, how could Claudia be acquitted?

"It is real."

Zack sounded full of anger on the phone. "It is said that Claudia's father has presented an expertise report of mental disease. It is verified that Claudia has an intermittent manic disease. When she planned to kidnap my sister, she was sick!"

"Lottie, aren't they lying?"

"How could it be like this?"

Lottie's grip on her phone tightened.

No wonder she saw Kevin Green's car when she and Hank came out of the psychiatric hospital.

It turned out that Kevin did not go to the hospital to look for the evidence of her hospitalization and illness, but to prove that Claudia was mentally ill!

She closed her eyes. "Calm down. I'll think of a way."

"All right!"

On the other end of the line, Zack gritted his teeth. "Lottie, you know what my sister is like now. I don't want the culprit to be at large."

"Of course, it has nothing to do with you. I would be very appreciative if you could help."

"If there's really nothing I can do... I'll go for a life and death fight against Claudia. Anyway, my life is cheap!"

His childish words made Lottie knit her brows slightly. "Natalia wouldn't want to hear you say something like that."

She sighed. "Get your mum and dad settled first and wait."

After that, she hung up before Zack could respond.

Hank frowned. "What happened?"

"Dr. Han."

Lottie looked at him seriously. "Do you know about intermittent manic anxiety disorder?"

Hank smiled. "Does your friend get this illness?"

"No."

She pursed her lips and told Hank everything Zack had just said on the phone.

"Dr. Han, what should we do in this case?"

"You're asking the right person."

Hank took a sip of coffee. "I have done profound research in this field."

"Bring the patient to me. If she is ill, I can cure her and let her go back to jail."

"If she is not ill... I will let her get what she wants."

When he said the words "get what she wants", a strange smile appeared on Hank's face.

Lottie felt a chill running down her spine.

Although she knew Dr. Han wasn't a bad person, his sinister smile still made her instinctively shiver.

Her voice trembled slightly. "Dr. Han, are you going to do me this favor?"

Hank smiled. "Of course."

"But..."

The man looked at Lottie with his long and narrow eyes. "I helped you yesterday for Edward's sake."

"I help you today because I think you are good."

"But I can't always help you."

He elegantly placed the coffee cup on the table. "Lottie, we're neither family nor old friends."

"If I say that I can only help you with one thing, what will be your choice?"

His bottomless eyes were fixed on her face. "Find the medicine for you in the institute, or settle the case for your friend? You can only ask me to help you with one thing from the two."

"Which do you choose?"

Lottie was stunned.

She had never thought that Hank would ask her this question.

Of course, she had thought Hank would not always help her for nothing as they were neither relatives nor friends. She also thought of thanking him with her own paycheck afterward.

But now he asked this question, and he even asked her to choose one from two.

She bit her lips.

On the one hand, she wanted to find her past memories, but she didn't want to suffer as much as yesterday. It was the best choice to let Hank find the medicine in the institute.

On the other hand, she was partly responsible for Natalia's current state. Moreover, the Ross family was not in a good mood now. If in the end Claudia could get away with it indeed...

The woman thought for a long time while counting her fingers.

After a while, she looked up at Hank seriously. "I choose to help my friend."

Even if there was no medicine, as long as she could put more effort and bear more, she could finally get her memories back.

But Claudia was different.

If she escaped this time, there would be another one to be hurt next time.

Besides, even if Claudia would not do it again, who would pay for Natalia's pain?

Hank smiled and looked into her eyes. "All right."

"But..."

The man's voice was mysterious. "If I do this for you, you still have to do me a favor."

Lottie nodded. There was no free meal in the world. "What can I do for you?"

"Don't know yet."

He looked at her with a smile. "Anyway, it won't be a murder or arson, nor will it have your family destroyed."

"I'll tell you when I have any idea."

"Deal."

After the two reached the agreement, Hank simply asked for some information about Claudia and left.

Lottie called Zack to mollify the Ross family, and then sat alone in the canteen in a daze.

After a long time, she picked up the phone and called Arthur.

The phone was still off.

She had to leave him a message.

"A friend said that I might not have gone crazy five years ago."

"He also said that my amnesia might be artificial, but not caused by mental illness."

"Dad, you handled my hospitalization procedures. You should know my illness best. Can you tell me what on earth happened?"

"Don't hide it from me anymore. I remember that my child is still alive."

After sending the message, she sighed and put the phone away.

To her surprise, not long after the message was sent, Arthur called back.

"Lottie."

The man's voice was much hoarse and haggard on the phone. "Why do you suddenly mention what happened five years ago?"

"Did Ralph tell you anything?"

Lottie frowned. "What does what happened five years ago have to do with Ralph?"

"So, Dad, what happened five years ago?"

Arthur remained silent for a long time.

"It was me who sent you to the psychiatric hospital."

"But I had a reason."

"You were injured at that time. Because of my personal reasons, I couldn't send you to hospital. It happened that I knew a friend working in the psychiatric hospital, so I sent you there under her suggestion."

"I left you in psychiatric hospital to have other diseases treated, not to abuse you."

"Also, don't look for your child."

"That child is another man’s. Even if you find him, what are you going to do?"

"Are you going to ask the child to leave his father and family and stay with you? Do you think your husband will agree to your doing this?"

"If you can't have the child, what's the difference between seeing and not seeing him?"
