Chapter 312
Jaxson took the documents, two full pages of testimony. He read through them without changing his expression, and didn’t say
anything.
The evidence of intentional harm was insufficient, so the police station quickly released the person.
Caroline walked out of the police station and saw Jaxson standing in front of the car, smoking. Behind the white smoke was the man’s extremely gloomy face.
“Jaxson…” Caroline’s eyes were red and teary, “I really didn’t know this would happen, I’m so scared…”
“What were you doing at Conrad Hospital?” He flicked off the ash, his eyes piercing through her like a sharp sword.
Her expression froze for a moment, “I…I actually just wanted to talk to Mr. Stafford for Selena, and I happened to run into a nurse friend, so we chatted for a while.”
He
frowned, “Selena’s relationship with Javier is none
of
your business.”
“Jaxson, are you blaming me?”
“Everything about Charlotte is related to you.” Jaxson exhaled smoke slowly, his eyes deep. “Caroline, sometimes I even wonder
you were involved.”

Caroline’s body suddenly shook, she stepped forward and grabbed him, “Jaxson, I didn’t!” she cried, “Just because Charlie kidnapped me, I was there when her father had a heart attack, now you’re going to suspect me of her mother’s death too?”
“If I really wanted her dead, how could I possibly let everyone know I was at the scene? I really wanted to save her! I could have held on until help arrived, but – she let go of our hands.” Caroline choked up for a moment, her fear was real, her terror was real, her panic was real.
Jaxson furrowed his brow, and then the hospital called.
“Mr. Hamilton, Mrs. Hamilton, she… wasn’t in the hospital room.”
He flicked the cigarette butt into the roadside trash can, “I’m heading back now.” Jaxson got into the car, glanced at Caroline, “You can take a taxi back by yourself.”
