Chapter 292 Professional Code
The nurse had long black hair and sultry lips. Her eyes and her smile were charming too.
She didn’t get annoyed, but explained patiently, “Yes, but you know that he’s also the personal doctor for a few other people. His patient is in really bad condition. If you want, you can call him after he’s done with the surgery.”
Todd grumbled but eventually gave up. He had been suffering diarrhea for an entire day, so he had to ask his personal doctor to come see him.
As they talked, the nurse had already given Todd the injection.
Luke took a sniff with a strange expression, but he didn’t say anything.
Thinking for a moment, he placed the mini-camera on a shelf not far away and started recording.
Very soon, Todd was immersed in a strange state.
He looked like he was murmuring soundlessly in a daze.
The nurse kept smiling. “Mr. Todd, how do you feel?”
Todd: “I’m a little… uncomfortable.”
The nurse: “You’ve been busy?”
Todd: “Yes.”
The nurse: “What have you been busy with?”
One person asked a question and the other answered, and Luke observed and recorded them.
He couldn’t help but feel amazed by Old Greyson’s friend, who was clearly a professional, with her nurse costume and her truth serum.
Their conversation reached a critical point.
“Did you kill Sarah Poch?”
“…Yes.”
Luke saw the veins pop on the back of the nurse’s hands. She was clearly holding herself back from exploding with rage. She asked again, “How did you kill her?”. “I told her to wait for me in the corner where we often had sex. She stepped into the trap I set up and was hung.”
“Why did you kill her?”
Luke was curious too when he heard the question.
Todd replied dizzily, “Because she hit on me first. She then blackmailed me into making her the lead actress after she found evidence that I killed Kelly.”
“But she was already the lead actress. Why did you still kill her?”
“Pierce had already made up his mind to replace her next week. She said that she would drag me into hell if she couldn’t be the lead actress.”
Luke was surprised. This Sarah obviously wasn’t simple either, considering that she had the courage to threaten a murderer. But who was Kelly?
Thinking quickly, he recalled that the only Kelly around Todd was his ex-wife.
It was said that his ex-wife went out traveling after the divorce and never returned.
It seemed that Kelly might not have wanted to go on that trip.
At that moment, Luke’s phone buzzed.
He connected it to his earpiece and heard Old Greyson’s voice. “I’m outside Todd’s house. Where is she?”
Luke looked at the nurse who seemed calm but had tears running down her face, and saw her give Todd another injection.
After she put the syringe back into the medical kit she had with her, she took out a string of rope. Luke thought for a moment and quickly typed, “I’ll bring you in.”

Old Greyson hung up the phone on the other side.
Luke quietly retreated and opened the gate by pressing a button in the house.
Old Greyson frowned when the gate opened, but he then saw Luke waving at him.
He quickly ran to Luke.
Old Greyson had always been a graceful and scholarly man. Luke had never seen him run or look so anxious before.
It seemed that the lady inside was very important to Old Greyson.
Old Greyson was about to say something at the front door, when Luke hushed him, ushered him inside, and pointed at the living room.
Old Greyson looked at the living room, only to see a rope dangling from a glamorous chandelier.
Todd was gradually becoming more conscious. He looked at the beautiful nurse in fear. “What… What do you want?”
The nurse said calmly, “I told my sister that she could give a man a lot of things, such as her body or her heart, but she must never give them power, because they can use that to hurt her anytime they want. It seems that she forgot my warning…” Old Greyson couldn’t help but walk out. “Enough, Lady Heather, stop!” The nurse, who was putting Todd’s head into the noose, was stunned when she turned around. “Gil?”
Old Greyson said helplessly, “I told you to stop! There are better ways. Why do you have to sacrifice yourself?”
Luke was quite surprised.
His uncle didn’t seem to be blaming this Lady Heather for getting revenge, and was only implying that she shouldn’t do it herself.
Also, Lady Heather stopped after Old Greyson told her to. What was that about?
Luke simply stayed back and fiddled with the camera in his hand.
He had retrieved it after recording Todd’s confession.
The video might not be enough to put Todd in jail, but it could ruin his reputation.
More importantly, the guy might’ve killed his ex-wife, and Sarah had had that evidence.
If Todd could be convicted for both murders, the guy would spend decades in prison.
While Luke pondered the matter, Old Greyson was already embracing Lady Heather, who was weeping. “Okay, let’s go.”
Then, he left with the charming Lady Heather without looking at Luke at all.
Luke scratched his head. Did he have to clean up someone else’s mess again?
He went back to the living room and packed up the irrelevant stuff, before he called the hospital. “This is LAPD. I have a patient who is in a coma due to food poisoning. Please send an ambulance.”
He then left the house and put Lady Heather’s professional tools in Old Greyson’s car.
Old Greyson had rented a car and come straight here after his plane landed.
Now, the car would take the mature lady as well as her professional tools away.
Old Greyson looked at Luke and said, “Call me if you run into trouble.”
Luke smiled. “Don’t worry, I will.”
Old Greyson nodded and drove away.
He wasn’t worried about Luke.
In fact, he was even more familiar with Luke’s style than Robert was. It was also the reason why he came to Luke when he needed help in Los Angeles. It was because Luke was trustworthy and wasn’t bound by rules.
