The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 559

Nora didn't know what to say.

Nathan's deduction was as terrifying as finishing a psychological thriller, thinking the killer was caught, only to have the post-credits scene reveal the true mastermind's perspective.

The sheer, paralyzing dread that washed over her was impossible to describe.

"Don't worry."

Seeing the color drain from her face, Nathan reached out and squeezed her shoulder to comfort her.

"Since they've exposed themselves, all we have to do is follow the trail."

"There is no such thing as a perfect crime. If they acted, they definitely left evidence behind."

"We'll definitely find them."

Nora nodded.

His words offered her a sliver of comfort.

But only a sliver.

Anyone would be terrified knowing a stalker had been watching their every move, especially one who was no longer satisfied with observing from the dark and desperately wanted center stage.

Nora possessed an incredibly resilient mind.

You couldn't survive in forensic pathology without a spine of steel; the industry would have chewed her up and spit her out years ago.

If it had been anyone else, the moment they realized they were being stalked, paranoia would have taken over.

They would have lost their minds from sheer terror before the stalker even made a move.

"You shouldn't go home tonight."

Nathan made the immediate decision.

He absolutely could not let her out of his sight.

She wasn't a detective; she didn't have the combat skills to defend herself.

"I'll ask Harold to send someone over with fresh clothes."

Nora didn't object.

Right now, one of them couldn't move easily, and the other was an active target.

Staying put in the hospital was their safest bet.

"Yeah! Anyone who'd do something like that is out of their mind."

"No sane person would pull a stunt like that."

Exactly!

Nora finally realized what she had missed.

Quickly ending the call with Valerie, she scrolled through her contacts and called her colleague.

"Have you checked the medical records of the guy who killed himself?"

The question caught her colleague completely off guard. It took him a second to answer. "No, we haven't. Why?"

"Check his medical records!" Nora said sharply. "I suspect he was mentally ill and was manipulated into confessing today!"

The sheer weight of that possibility immediately set the colleague on edge. "Understood."

The call ended, and she stared at the black screen for a long time.

Only after Nathan hung up his phone did she turn to him. "Nathan..."

He nodded. "I heard."
