“Huh?!”
As if she had heard the cruelest words in the world, Ma Lan blurted out, “How can you let me out of the hospital so soon? If I’m discharged, won’t I have to go to the detention center?”
The female doctor said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Ms. Ma, what are the arrangements after you are discharged from the hospital? I really don’t know, you’ll have to ask the police.”
Ma Lan cried, “Doctor, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to give me a certificate of seriousness, right? Just do me a favour and give me a certificate, I can’t stand the torment of the detention centre with my old bones.”
If I give you such a certificate, the police will definitely find other doctors to review it. If they find that my certificate is false, I will never be qualified to practice medicine again.”
Ma Lan said: “What you said is just a matter of probability, not necessarily something will really happen, just take pity on me and help my old bones …… I’ve been in a detention center before, I had a leg broken in there, I don’t know what kind of environment it is, if I go in there again, I might really be bullied to death ……”
The female doctor shook her head repeatedly and said offhandedly, “Sorry, Ms. Ma, this is a matter of principle, I really can’t help you.”
Gritting her teeth, Ma Lan blurted out, “Doctor, how about this, why don’t you just break another rib of mine, if I break two ribs, you can’t kick me out of the hospital again, right?”
The female doctor said awkwardly, “Ms. Ma, if I really did that, it wouldn’t be a matter of revoking my medical qualifications, it might be possible that I would go ahead of you, and then we might both be cellmates in prison.”
After that, she immediately changed the subject and said, “By the way, Ms. Ma, you want to have millet-fed liao ginseng and lobster congee for breakfast, right? I’ll go and arrange it now, you wait for a moment.”
After saying this, the female doctor did not wait for Ma Lan to say anything, then she hurriedly turned around and left the ward.
As Marashi was desperate, James White, New York’s top criminal lawyer, knocked on the door and walked in, smiling when he saw her, and asked, “Ms. Ma, did you have a good rest last night?”
As soon as she saw the lawyer enter, Marlane’s hope was immediately renewed and she hurriedly asked, “Lawyer White, I heard from the doctor that I was to be discharged at noon today, what is this all about?”
James White explained, “The police have reviewed your medical records this morning and met with your attending doctor. According to the feedback from your attending doctor, the police believe that you no longer need to stay in the hospital, so you will be discharged at noon today.”
Ma Lan blurted out, “If you are discharged from the hospital, do you have to go into a detention centre? I don’t want to go into a guardhouse!”
James White said seriously, “Ms. Ma, I understand your feelings, but first of all, you must know what you are suspected of, carrying more than five kilograms of contraband out of the country, if you are convicted of this crime, you will never be able to walk out of prison. If you don’t even want to go to the guardhouse, then I can only say that you are thinking a little too much, or thinking a little too optimistically.”
Once Marashi heard this, he hurriedly said complimentingly, “Lawyer White, you alone scolded that large group of police officers yesterday, you are a top barrister with great ability at first glance, think of another way for me ……”
