Chapter 48 Proud of you
7pm.
Daisy's house.
Daisy was busy in the kitchen, still looking graceful in her pink apron.
"Ding dong..."
A doorbell rang.
Daisy walked to the door, checked the access control video, breathed a sigh of relief, and opened the door.
Luke stood at the door and took out a bouquet of roses from behind, "For you."
"Wow..." Daisy took the rose and smelled the fragrance, "Thank you, I didn't expect you have a romantic side."
"As long as you don't feel corny."
"No, women like flowers at any time." Daisy stepped aside and said, "Come in, dinner will be ready soon."
"Do you need my help?"
"Can you help me set the table?"
"Of course." Luke washed his hands and helped Daisy prepare dinner.
Pan-fried steak, grilled tuna, vegetable salad, mashed potatoes, mushroom soup, ribeye, red wine.
The two of them sat on both sides of the dining table. Daisy picked up the red wine and said, "Here's a toast to you."
"It should be me who has prepared such a sumptuous dinner for you."
The two clinked glasses and Daisy said, "I haven't cooked for a long time. How does it taste?"
Luke cut a piece of steak and took a bite. "It's very tender and tastes good. I like it very much."
The two of them chatted while eating, talking about their ideals, hobbies, and some interesting things.
After finishing the meal, Luke took the initiative to clean the tableware, and his thoughtful gesture made Daisy feel a little happier.
Luke washed the dishes and walked out of the kitchen. Daisy had prepared a fruit plate and red wine.
Luke took the red wine glass, clinked the glasses with Daisy, and took a sip, "Want to talk about the case?"
"Can we talk? I know you have a confidentiality agreement."
Luke joked, "Not as strict as your lawyers."
Daisy chuckled lightly, "Is there any progress in the investigation?"
"We re-interrogated the robber Tim, and he bitten off his confession and refused to admit that he had other accomplices."
"Why? He is unwilling to turn against the witness?"
"It's hard to say now, but he is very determined and can only investigate from other directions."
Daisy pursed her red lips and said, "Do you need my help?"
"Tomorrow we will go to the hospital where Lawn is staying to investigate and chat with his family members. It would be best if we can call the beneficiary of the will to the hospital."
Daisy nodded, "I'll try my best."
…
Ome Hospital.
This is a private hospital located in the suburbs of Los Angeles. The environment is very beautiful. There are no collective wards, only double rooms, single rooms and deluxe rooms.
Daisy led Luke and David into the hospital building.
David looked at the hospital's facilities and sighed, "The environment here is better than the hotel I stayed in during my vacation."
"Maybe this is the happiness of rich people." Luke smiled and asked Daisy beside him, "Have Lawn's family arrived?"
"I contacted Lawn's wife and asked her to come to the hospital with her children. I want to talk to them about the will. I believe they will come."
David asked, "How many beneficiaries are there in total?"
"I don't know the specific content of the video will either." Daisy led the two of them up to the third floor and stopped at the door of Ward 302. "Laun is in this ward."
Luke reminded David in a low voice, "Try to speak as little as possible for a while."
This big brother's violent temper will definitely cause trouble.
David said dissatisfiedly, "You don't seem to be a detective, right?"
"It will be soon." Luke followed Daisy into the ward.
The ward is a room of more than thirty square meters. On the right is the bathroom, which contains a bed, cabinet, table, and TV. There is a faint smell of medicine in the ward.
Lying on the hospital bed was a man in his fifties, with brown hair, medium build, wearing a light blue spotted hospital gown, and an oxygen mask on his face.
On the left side of the hospital bed sat a bejeweled middle-aged woman, and on the right side stood a woman in her twenties.
Standing on the bed was a young doctor wearing a white coat and a stethoscope.
Luke has read Lawn Bull's information and learned about his family situation.
Lawn's wife is Caroline Bull, and the two of them belong to a remarried family.
Raun brought a daughter, Sophia, and Caroline brought a son, Brooke Pierce.
Lauren and Caroline remarried and had a baby daughter, Emma.
The bejeweled middle-aged woman asked, "Lawyer Daisy, why did you come to us?"
"Sorry, I didn't explain clearly on the phone. Actually, I ran into some troubles and wanted to ask for your help." Daisy looked apologetic and pointed to Luke and David beside her.
"This is Detective Luke and that is Detective David."
The middle-aged woman frowned slightly and asked, "Daisy, what do you mean by calling the detective over? You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
Daisy walked to the hospital bed and asked with concern, "How is Mr. Lawn's condition? Is it getting better?"
The middle-aged woman answered the question inappropriately, "Please don't change the subject."
Daisy sighed softly, "Since Mr. Lawn was hospitalized, I have also encountered some bad things during this time.
On March 2, someone broke into my office illegally and stole documents.
On March 3, I was robbed on the street.
On March 15, someone sneaked into my home and installed surveillance cameras in the study room to take secret photos.
I called the police. The police think it may be related to Mr. Lawn’s will and would like to invite you to come over and have a chat.”
The young woman looked surprised, "My dear, are you telling the truth? This is too scary."
"Miss Sophia, these two are detectives from the 'Closed Murder Division'. They can prove what I say."
Luke took advantage of the situation and asked, "Miss Sophia, are you Mr. Boone's eldest daughter?"
"Yes." Sofia responded, then pointed to the middle-aged woman and the man in a white coat and said, "These are my stepmother Caroline and Brooke."
Luke looked at Brooke, "Are you a doctor at this hospital?"
Before Brooke could answer, her mother, Caroline, said with a proud face, "My son is a resident doctor in this hospital and is also my husband's attending physician. Thanks to him... Lawn's condition has improved."
Luke asked, "How is Mr. Lawn doing? What disease does he have?"
Brooke replied, "The lack of oxygen in the brain caused coma. After fainting, he fell and injured his head. The brain stem was damaged to some extent and he was unconscious. The situation is more difficult."
Luke suggested, "Can I see the diagnostic report?"
Brooke was stunned for a moment, "Sorry, this is related to the patient's privacy."
Luke looked at Sophia aside, "I heard that your father left a video will, can I take a look?"
Before Sofia could answer, stepmother Caroline refused, "No, that's a very private thing. It's Laun's farewell to his family. What right do you have to ask for that?"
Luke said, "This is not a request, just a chat."
"We have nothing to talk about." Caroline said to Daisy beside her, "Lawyer, please take these two detectives away. In addition, please respect your profession. If you disclose my information to the police,
I will sue you for my husband’s other will.”
"I won't show it to anyone without Mr. Lawn's permission. I'm sorry, because of my personal reasons, I have caused trouble to you." After Daisy finished speaking, she looked at Luke aside,
"Let's go."
After leaving the ward, David said calmly, "I didn't speak."
Luke put his arm around David's shoulders and said, "I'm proud of you."
David raised his middle finger and said, "Are you going to leave in such a dejected manner?"
"Then what good ideas do you have?"
"Follow me." David walked to the triage table and asked a female nurse, "Excuse me, which floor is the dean's office on?"
The little nurse asked, "What's the matter with you?"
David flashed his police badge.
"The easternmost side of the 5th floor."
"Thank you." David said and took the elevator to the fifth floor.
Daisy stood next to Luke and asked softly, "Does your colleague know the dean?"
