Holly Sims stood at the stairway entrance, panting, yet her voice was detached and cold, carrying an impartial and unyielding chill.
Clad in her police uniform, she exuded an aura of authority that commanded respect.
When Kiera saw her, she was momentarily taken aback.
She had just sent her that recording not more than half an hour ago, how had she arrived so quickly?
As Kiera was lost in thought, Holly moved through the throng of reporters and approached her.
The sight of Holly sent a shiver of panic through Isla's heart.
But then she reassured herself that she was overthinking it, there was no need to make a connection between a police officer and Connor Hill at the prison; at this time, he should have already been transferred to his cell... right?
As she pondered, Jake Horton spoke up, "Officer, what do you mean by that?"
Holly replied directly, "It means that this child is indeed not yours, so you needn't be too heartbroken over it."
