The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

"What?!"

Elaine seemed to have heard the cruelest words in the world, and she blurted out, "How can you let me out of the hospital so soon? If I'm discharged from the hospital, wouldn't I have to go to the detention center, then?!"

The female doctor said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Madam Elaine, but I don't know what the arrangements for you after you're discharged are. I really don't know anything about this. You'll have to ask the police." Elaine cried and said, "Doctor, it shouldn't be difficult for you to give me a medical report saying that I have a serious injury, right? You should just give me one. I'm already old, and I really cannot stand the hardship in the detention center."noveldrama

The female doctor said helplessly, "Madam Elaine, this kind of thing cannot be faked in the United States. If I issue such a medical report for you, the police will definitely ask other doctors to review it. If my medical report is found to be false, I will never be qualified to practice medicine again in my life.' Elaine hurriedly said, "What you're saying is just a matter of probability, and it may not necessarily happen. You should pity me since I'm already an old woman... I've been in a detention center before, and someone broke my leg inside. I don't know what kind of environment is inside, and I might really get bullied to death if I go into a detention center again..."

The female doctor shook her head repeatedly and blurted out, "I'm sorry, Madam Elaine, but this is a matter of principle, and I really can't help you."

Elaine clenched her teeth and blurted out, "Doctor, why don't we do this, then? Why don't you just break another one of my ribs? You cannot kick me out of the hospital if I have two broken ribs, right?"

The female doctor said embarrassedly, "Madam Elaine, if I really do that, it'd not be just a matter of revoking my medical qualifications, then. I might even be imprisoned ahead of you, and the two of us might end up being cellmates in prison."

Having said that, she changed the topic immediately and said, "By the way, Madam Elaine, you want to eat foie gras with ginseng and millet as well as lobster congee for breakfast, right? I'll go and make the arrangements for you now, so please wait for a moment."

After saying this, the female doctor hurriedly turned around and left the ward without waiting for Elaine to say anything.

Just as Elaine was in despair, Jakel, the top criminal lawyer in New York, knocked on the door and walked in.

When he saw Elaine, he asked with a smile, "Madam Elaine, did you have a good rest last night?"

When Elaine saw the lawyer entering, her hope was immediately rekindled, and she hurriedly asked, "Mr. White, I heard the doctor say that I will be discharged from the hospital at noon today. What's going on?" Jakel explained, "The police reviewed your medical record this morning and met with your attending doctor. Based on the feedback given by your attending doctor, the police believe that you no longer need to stay in the hospital for treatment, so you will be discharged from the hospital at noon today." Elaine blurted out, "Do I have to go to the detention center after leaving the hospital? I don't want to go into a detention center!"

Jakel said seriously, "Madam Elaine,

I understand your feelings very well, but you need to know what kind of case you're suspected of. You're suspected of carrying more than five kilograms of contraband out of the country. If this charge is confirmed, you will never be able to step out of prison in your life. It's a serious case. Although I have the confidence to help you clear your name, you should also understand that I can only say that you're thinking too much or being a little too optimistic if you say that you don't even want to enter the detention center."

When Elaine heard this, she quickly complimented, "Mr. White, you did not seem to have a care in the world when you scolded a large number of police officers by yourself yesterday. Anyone can obviously tell at first

glance that you're a top lawyer with great abilities. You can help me think of a way..."

Jakel said solemnly, "Madam Elaine, I will do my best to help you clear your name, but really cannot do anything about the point that you just mentioned. I've already met with the judge who will be ruling your case, and the request raised by the other party is that you cannot be released on bail. So, you will have to go to the detention center for a

period of time, but the specific

length of your stay will depend on

when the police will be able to arrest Lucy Cardy and Clarissa Zinn."

Elaine instantly felt extremely depressed as she choked up and said, "Does that mean that I'll never be

able to get out for the rest of my life if they cannot be arrested, then?!"

Jakel explained, "I will do my best to defend your innocence if we cannot arrest them, but it may take a little longer. Please understand."
