Chapter 15 Reid stood in the hallway of the mental hospital, and the cold white lights made his shadow really long. He was still holding those files in his hand, the ones that detailed all of Kelsey's crimes over the years- trading sex for power, embezzling public funds, intentional assault, and even how she had carefully planned to frame Maxine. The door to the hospital room was pushed open, Kelsey was curled up in the corner, with bandages still wrapped around her face-those were the scars left after she hurt herself. She looked up and saw Reid, a trace of hope flashed in her eyes: "Reid... are you here to save me?" She crawled forward a few steps on her knees, but her weak body wasn't strong enough to let her finish. Kelsey was lying on the ground, all dirty, and her fingers were still clutching Reid's pant leg. Reid didn't answer. He just slowly squatted down in front of her, looking down at her. His eyes were as cold as ice, and his voice was low and calm: "Kelsey, do you know why I came here?" Kelsey shook her head, trembling, tears falling down: "I... I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..." "Wrong?" Reid sneered and threw the files in front of her. "This is what you call 'knowing you were wrong'?" Kelsey glanced down at the papers and her face went pale. She shook her head like crazy, "No, I didn't do these! Someone set me up!" "Reid! You believed me... you believed me...' 11 "Frame you?" Reid leaned over and grabbed her chin, squeezing so hard it almost broke her bones. "You think I'd still believe your crap?" He let go, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, his face full of disgust. That move really hurt Kelsey's eyes. Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she lunged at Reid, but he kicked her away. She fell to the ground, screaming hysterically, "Reid! You can't do this to me! I loved you so much, everything I did was for you!" "For me?" Reid's eyes went completely cold, "You ruined everything between Maxine and me for your own selfish reasons. Was that for me?" 0.0 %. 06:33 "Since that's the case, then it's my turn to do something for you." He turned around and nodded to the doctor at the door: "From today on, I'll make her treatment plan myself." The doctor respectfully handed over a new medical record. Reid opened the first page. It said, "Patient No. 0487, treatment plan: electroshock therapy, medication control, lifelong confinement." Kelsey struggled like crazy: "No! You can't do this to me! Reid, I curse you! I curse you to never get Maxine's forgiveness!" Reid walked out of the hospital room without looking back, and behind him came Kelsey's heart- wrenching cries. He stood in the hallway, lit a cigarette, and in the swirling smoke, his eyes looked dark and hard to read. The assistant walked over carefully: "Mr. Merrow, just like you asked, all of the Kelsey family's assets have been frozen, and Kelsey's parents have also been restricted, so they can't find Kelsey." Reid gave a light "yeah" and said, "Tell the newspaper about her selling herself. I wanted to ruin her reputation." The assistant nodded and left, Reid put out his cigarette and looked at the night sky outside the window. He knew this kind of payback was nothing compared to the pain Maxine had been through, but at least he wouldn't let Kelsey get another chance to hurt anyone. 60.8%. 06:33 Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
