Haley paused and thought for a moment before she continued, "This person is a little reckless. He didn't even give Molly a 'gag order.' So, as time goes on, Molly should be able to tell us what happened in the past few months, including information about him. "Luke nodded slightly.
"He's either a lunatic, or he's very confident in his hypnosis and is certain that no one can report him," Haley continued. "If you investigate him, you'd better be careful. His hypnosis skills might be very high, and he's definitely much more effective than an ordinary psychiatrist. "
Luke raised an eyebrow. "Can you break the hypnosis he put on Molly?"
Haley hesitated for a long while before she nodded. "I can try to take it slow. Time is on our side."
Luke nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Everybody was about to disperse.
At this moment, a young woman walked over and sized up the people standing at the door. Finally, her eyes stopped on Christina's face. "Excuse me, are you Nurse Christina Palmer?"
Christina nodded. "That's me. What can I do for you?"
The young woman gestured, and the two of them walked away. She said in a low voice, "Do you have a girl named Molly Johnson here?"
Christina was stunned. "You are?"
The young woman said, "Her parents asked me to look for her for a while. I heard that a Jane Doe who fits her description moved in yesterday, so I came to take a look. "
Christina hesitated for a moment, but still waved at Luke and the others.
When Luke and the others walked over, she introduced them to the young woman. "This is Detective Coulson, this is Detective Hayek, and this is Doctor Haley. They should be able to help you."
The young woman frowned and squirmed uncomfortably. She looked at Luke and Selina with an unpleasant expression on her face.
Luke stretched out his hand. "What's your name?"
"Jessica." The young woman ignored his outstretched hand and simply gave them her name before she went straight to the point. "What do you want about Molly?"
Luke looked at Christina and Haley. After a brief exchange of glances, he said, "Miss Jessica, I need to confirm your identity and why you're here."
Jessica repeated what she had said to Christina.
Luke nodded. "Can you prove it?"
JESSICA frowned and took out a photo from her pocket. "Her parents gave this to me."
Luke accepted it and looked at the picture of a family of three smiling happily in front of a birthday cake. The girl in the middle was indeed Molly Johnson.
On the back of the photo, there was a line of words: Baby, happy fifteenth birthday. May you always be happy and lucky.
Handing the photo to Selina, he looked at Jessica. "Jessica, do you have Molly's parents' phone number?"
Jessica hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Can you give it to me?" Luke asked, "You were the one who found her. Her parents probably won't refuse to pay you, but I can't hand Molly over to a non-guardian like you, right?"
Jessica stared at him for a moment. "Where's your badge? I also need to confirm your identity. "
Amused, Luke took out his badge from under his shirt.
After making sure that Jessica had seen it clearly, he stuffed it back into the box.
Selina did the same and said, "This is my badge."
JESSICA only glanced at her badge before looking away.
There was nothing wrong with Luke's badge. It didn't matter if Selina took it out or not.
She rummaged in her pocket again and took out a business card. "This is your phone number. Her father's name is Richard Johnson, and her mother's name is Novena Johnson. "
Luke gave the business card to Selina and returned the photo to jESSICA. "Molly is in the ward, but she's in a bad state. You'll have to ask these two for advice on how long and what you can talk to her about. "
He gestured at Christina and Haley, then walked to the side to listen in on the conversation between Selina and Molly's parents.
JESSICA communicated with the two women for a while before she was brought in.
With Luke's keen hearing, jESSICA didn't ask many questions. After confirming Molly's identity, she walked out and asked Christina and Haley about Molly's situation.
"Is that man called Kilgrave?" jESSICA suddenly asked. "He likes to wear suits and speaks with a British accent?"
Everybody immediately turned to look at jESSICA.
After a brief silence, Luke didn't say anything, but Haley spoke first. "We don't know who 'he' is yet, but it's possible that he has a British accent. When Molly mentioned 'he,' there were a few sentences in which she used a distinctly English expression. "
Looking at jESSICA's suddenly awful expression, Luke suddenly said, "Miss jESSICA, do you know 'he'?"
JESSICA trembled slightly, and her expression changed for a moment. She suddenly turned around and left. "Sorry, I have something to do. I'll be going first."
After taking a few steps, she stumbled and almost fell.
But she didn't stop. Instead, she sped up and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Christina looked at Luke. "You're not going to stop her?"
Luke shook his head and looked at Haley. "What do you think?"
A thoughtful look flashed through Haley's eyes. "She should know something. Her reaction … is a little overboard."
At that moment, her eyes met Luke's, and after a brief silence, they looked away in tacit understanding.
Luke said, "Well, at least Molly's parents have been found."
Haley suddenly said, "This might be a little troublesome."
Christina found that odd. "What's wrong?"
Luke explained in an understanding tone, "Molly's parents have already flown back from San Francisco. They might arrive at the hospital in the afternoon. It'll be up to them whether Molly stays or goes."
Christina was confused. "Their daughter went missing in New York, but they ran to Los Angeles? They live in Massachusetts, don't they? "
Luke said, "They've been looking for Molly everywhere for the past few months. They heard that a girl's body was found in California, and it looked like Molly, so they rushed over. "
After a brief silence, Christina nodded. "At least they can rest easy now."
It was better for a daughter to be alive to meet her parents than to turn into a corpse and only be able to say goodbye.
After that, Luke and Haley talked for a while longer to learn more about the "he" that Molly had mentioned.
There were only a few bits of information, but Haley explained it in detail, and it took her almost half an hour to finish.
"That's all I can do for now." Haley heaved a sigh. "The rest is up to you, Luke."
