Anya’s Seizure
“We’ve stopped discussing when my lover here mentioned his offer getting rejected by Mr. Flingburt,”
Sonia recalled as she tilted her head and glanced at Toby.
At once, Freddie slapped his thigh. “Oh, that’s right! We’ve stopped until there.” “Speaking of which,
Officer Chase, I have a question.” Sonia retracted her gaze from Toby with slightly furrowed brows.
Freddie motioned for her to continue. “Do ask, Miss Reed.”
“Actually, my question is pretty simple. Didn’t you guys say that Mr. Flingburt is a crappy lawyer? But
from the stories you told me earlier, it looks like he had won every case he represented. And as for his
failed case, that’s also because his employer had offended him that he purposely failed the case. If so,
shouldn’t he be considered an outstanding lawyer with a high success rate? But why do you guys
describe him as a crappy lawyer with little professional competency?”
This time Freddie didn’t answer her immediately. Instead, he looked at Toby for his permission.
After Toby nodded, he finally explained, “Well, since President Fuller had asked me to continue, I’ll
discuss this frankly. Actually, Miss Reed, this matter isn’t as convoluted as it seems. Although Mr.
Flingburt has a law degree, it didn’t change the fact that he barely passed his bar examination and
obtained his Certificate in Legal Practice. In other words, Mr. Flingburt’s professional knowledge in the
legal field is far less than that of prominent lawyers. Nevertheless, he won all his cases based on his
eloquence and quick responses under pressure in court.”
“Oh?” Sonia raised her eyebrow in disbelief.
Freddie smiled at her incredulity. “When Mr. Flingburt went to trial, he didn’t like to use the methods
commonly used by other lawyers, and he rarely used lawyers’ expertise. Rather, he prefers to use his
high emotional intelligence and eloquence to lure the other party into saying something that shouldn’t
be said or doing something that shouldn’t be done so as to achieve the goal of making the other party
fail. His style of defending his clients in court is like making top sales in the business world.”
“I understand now.” Sonia clapped her hands as a sudden realization hit her. “It’s like even though he’s
a lawyer, he doesn’t apply methods that a lawyer should use. Instead, he relies on tactics a
professional marketer uses to defend his clients by capturing the jury’s hearts and winning them in one
fell swoop.”
“Indeed.” Freddie nodded in agreement.
Sonia tapped her chin thoughtfully as she added, “In this case, he really doesn’t need much strong
expertise in law and excellent test scores in legal practice to make a name for himself in the legal
industry. He is using sales methods to win against lawsuits. That does make him different from other
lawyers, indeed. He’s a true genius for being able to think and utilize such a tactic in court. Although
he’s a crappy lawyer in terms of expertise, he’s a constant winner in terms of winning lawsuits. It’s no
wonder many would seek him to be their defense attorney.”
“Yes, and seeing that President Fuller intends to hire him as your attorney, I speculate that he wants
Anya to be sentenced to two more years. Am I right, President Fuller?” Freddie looked at Toby.
Sonia also turned to look at Toby.
When Toby heard what Freddie had said, his lips quirked into a slight smirk, but he didn’t admit to
anything. Even so, they could clearly see that he was approving of such a suggestion at a glance.
Freddie was correct with his guess because that was exactly what Toby had in mind.
Freddie closed his notebook to signal that the interview had ended before he suddenly asked, “By the
way, Miss Reed, do you want to take a look at Anya?”
Before Sonia replied, she looked at Toby and inquired, “Do you want to see her?”
A frowning Toby looked at Sonia like he was looking at a fool. “Are you asking me to see other women?
Are you sure about this?”
Sonia was momentarily rendered speechless by the words that escaped his lips, rolled her eyes, and
replied, “I’m asking you to check on a prisoner. Not telling you to see your old lover.”
“Then, I’m not going either,” Toby snorted. Then, he turned his head to the side and added, “I’m not
interested in other women except you.”
Although what Toby said moved her, it also highly amused her.
“Alright, then. Just wait for me here. I’ll go check on her.” As she spoke, she rose to her feet.
Nonetheless, Toby turned his head, grabbed her wrist, and said with a frown, “What’s there to check?
You should be careful. What if she hurts you?”
Freddie couldn’t help but cough lightly as he stood up and narrowed his gaze at Toby with apparent
displeasure in his eyes. “President Fuller, she’s locked up. I can assure you that she can’t escape and
hurt others. So don’t worry, Miss Reed won’t be harmed.” Seriously? Why does he have to make it
sound like we’re not vigilant enough?
Sure enough, Toby knew that Sonia wouldn’t be hurt. He just wanted to prevent Sonia from seeing
Anya. After all, in his opinion, there was no point in visiting an evil woman like Anya.
“Officer Chase is right. I won’t be hurt, so don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.” Sonia patted Toby’s shoulder
and motioned for him to release her.
Toby finally let go when he saw that he couldn’t persuade her. “Return soon.”
“Okay.” Sonia looked back and smiled.
Finally, she followed Freddie, and soon, they arrived at the detention room.
Yet, as soon as they reached the door, they heard a woman screaming in pain.
Sonia immediately stopped in her tracks. “What’s going on?” It’s obviously Anya, the one who is
shrieking in pain. Forget about the pain, and I can even hear the trembling and whimpering tone in her
wails. This is clearly a situation that can only happen when someone is in severe pain. Could it be that
the officers in the police station had done something to Anya?
As she thought of this, Sonia looked at Freddie beside her.
When Freddie noticed Sonia’s gaze, he knew what she meant. Therefore, he quickly explained to her
by saying, “Miss Reed, please don’t misunderstand. It’s not what you think. Miss Anna Salzburg has
been like this these few days.”
“She has been like this these few days?” Sonia blinked, thinking she had misheard things. “Why is she
acting this way?”
“According to the doctor, she’s in pain because she has problems with her skeletal structure.”
“Skeletal structure? There’s something wrong with her bones?”
“Yes.” Freddie nodded. “It all happened a few days ago, the day after you and President Fuller left the
police station, and we had just temporarily placed her in the detention center. Suddenly, she started
screaming in pain. At first, we thought she was pretending to escape legal punishment. Despite that,
we later saw that her face was pale, and she didn’t seem to be pretending, so we hurriedly sent her to
the hospital. The doctor said she was in such a state because of the aftermath of the limb-lengthening
surgery that she did.”
“Aftermath of the surgery,” Sonia whispered to herself.
Freddie pressed the brim of his cap as he continued. “The detailed information given by the doctor was
that Anya has implanted an artificial bone made of new material into her femur so as to achieve the
purpose of limb-lengthening. Unfortunately, since the material used for this artificial bone isn’t widely
used in the medical market yet, hence it’s easy for Anya to show rejection of the artificial bone
implanted in her body. She’s in so much pain because of this and the fact that she hasn’t taken her
medicine to cope with the pain for a period of time.”
After she listened to his explanation, she nodded in realization. “So, that’s what it is. But, doesn’t Anya
need to be hospitalized, judging from her painful state?”
“Dr. Lancaster said it’s fine,” Freddie replied.
“Dr. Lancaster?” Sonia raised her brows, and an odd feeling instantly surged in her heart.
“Officer Chase, is Dr. Lancaster that you’re talking about going by the name Tim Lancaster? The one
who wears glasses and looks very handsome yet a little cold?” Sonia described while gesturing to
emphasize her point.
Freddie repeatedly nodded at her description of the doctor. “That’s right. It’s him. He does look a little
cold and not to mention quite unfriendly. But in addition to being cold, I also feel that there’s something
wrong with him.”
“How so?”
“Well, I can’t pinpoint much either. But based on my judgment from being a criminal police officer in the
past, I can tell that this doctor doesn’t have the feelings that a human being should have,” Freddie said
with a frown.
At once, Sonia felt a thud in her heart as she was shocked by Freddie’s statement. No way! Is it
possible? Does Officer Chase truly have such a sharp observation that he actually sees through Tim’s
true nature?
Regardless, Sonia thought that she should help cover Tim up when she remembered that Tim was on
her side.
Therefore, with that in mind, Sonia smiled and said, “Perhaps the coldness displayed in his eyes was
because, as a doctor, he has witnessed too many incidents such as births, old age, sickness, and
death. I don’t think he’s heartless.”
“I guess you’re right, Miss Reed.” Freddie nodded, thinking Sonia’s explanation sounded logical. After
all, why would a heartless person become a doctor?
