The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Hannah firmly responded, Your presence wont be helpful.

If youre scared, Ill end up having to look after you.

Youre not a burden, but I need to work efficiently to wrap this up quickly and avoid further complications.

Accepting her logic, Peterson said, Alright, Ill go upstairs with the doctor and wait for you.

They proceeded to the deepest part of the morgue.

The doctor, following routine, unlocked the door for them and then escorted Peterson back upstairs.

Wait outside! Hannah instructed Dotson and Conor.

Wait! Conor said.

I need to go with you. Dotson raised his hand to halt him.

Dont you trust my boss? As Hannah paused at the door, Conor, with a stern expression, clarified and said, Its not about trust.

I need to report back to Mr.

Lyons.

Indifferent, Hannah entered, donning gloves, a mask, and protective gear.

Join me if you must, but stay out of my way.

Eventually, all three entered the room.

Hannah commenced the autopsy, dissecting the corpse with precision and focus, seemingly oblivious to her companions.

Observing her, Conor was struck by her proficiency.

He realized that Hannah was more formidable than they had anticipated.

During the autopsy, the silence of the corridor was broken by hurried footsteps.

Conor and Dotson immediately turned towards the door.

Dotson, who had been leaning against the wall from boredom, sprang into action, grabbing a scalpel from a nearby tray.

Without a word, he glanced at Hannah, still engrossed in her work, and then stepped out into the corridor.

Conor, feeling the gun at his back, retreated a couple of steps to the doorway.

He remained inside, poised for any necessary action.

As Dotson reached the doorway, he was met by the doctor, who looked distressed.

Mr. Wagner… He was stabbed in the hospital! Hes been rushed to the emergency room! What? Conor exclaimed, stepping out of the room, shocked.

Didnt you just go upstairs? Who did it? How could he be stabbed? Inside the morgue, Hannah, who was stitching up the corpse, trembled upon overhearing the conversation.noveldrama

She nearly misplaced her stitches! The doctor outside responded urgently, A man burst in suddenly and stabbed Mr.

Wagner several times before we could intervene.

Hes now been restrained by the hospital security guards.

Weve alerted the police.

Should we notify Mr.

Lyons about this? It was clear that as soon as Peterson went upstairs, he was targeted; the assailant had come specifically for him.

Turning to Hannah, Conor asked, Miss Moore, whats our next move? By the time they finished speaking, Hannah had completed the autopsy and secured the necessary samples.
