Chapter 518: The Content of the Prayer
"No."
Thea Shaw naturally denied it, casually saying, "If there’s something wrong with your body and you haven’t been anywhere, you should know where the irregularities first occurred."
Apple Hale still didn’t speak.
Just then, her number was called, and she went in to get her examination.
Thea Shaw didn’t have much information. Even if she sent what she knew about Apple Hale to Landon Ford for investigation right now, it would be too late.
Moreover, Apple Hale’s fate was too unstable. The only angle Thea Shaw could take was Apple Hale killing her husband and going to prison, and it was obviously not suitable to tell Apple Hale about it at this moment.
St. Elara’s Cathedral, Lady Serena Quinn also went, and her family funded its construction.
Apple Hale also went, and she was ill.
Thea Shaw felt that all this was no coincidence; she believed there was definitely something wrong with that church.
Could it be that people from the church are conducting some kind of experiments inside?
When she went in this morning, the church appeared quite normal on the surface.
Of course, if the problem was that easy to spot, it wouldn’t have taken so long to find a clue.
Soon, Landon Ford sent Thea Shaw some information, which further confirmed her suspicions.
Landon Ford had people use big data to search through all the surveillance, and eventually got one clue.
That the few sick people, including Samuel Hayes, couldn’t be confirmed to have entered St. Elara’s Cathedral, but they had at least been around that area.
The lack of definite entry records was due to the absence of surveillance in the church itself; judgments could only be made using other nearby surveillance.
Being able to confirm this information so quickly was not easy.
But this at least proved they really shared this common point.
Thea Shaw had Landon Ford try to pry information from Samuel Hayes, while she focused her attention on Apple Hale.
After waiting for about half an hour, Apple Hale had finished her examination and Thea Shaw didn’t continue asking her about matters regarding the church.
Perhaps Apple Hale found the examination fee to be higher than she expected, and seeing Thea Shaw not asking anything, she felt a bit guilty and hesitated as she said, "Previously when I went to the church to pray, the priest said there was a way to help us solve our current predicament, and that we should go to the church once a week."
Thea Shaw casually replied, "When you go to the church, you just listen to the priest pray?"
"Yes." Apple Hale nodded, then after a moment said, "I really don’t understand the taste on me..."
Thea Shaw smiled, "What’s so hard to say about that? It’s not like you went to do anything disgraceful."
Apple Hale’s eyes flickered. She thought about it carefully, then in a low voice said, "There was only one time it was a bit strange. That day was in the afternoon, and we went to the church, but the church was very dark, almost impossible to see anything. We were all in the darkness, listening to the priest’s prayers, and nothing happened. After the prayers ended, we came out."
"In the afternoon, and you couldn’t see?"
Apple Hale nodded.
Thea Shaw looked at her and suddenly asked, "What was the content of the priest’s prayers?"
Apple Hale’s face slightly changed.
Thea Shaw immediately understood; the issue lay in this.
The content of the priest’s prayers was definitely different from the usual Biblical content they knew.
Otherwise, if the content was normal, what was so disgraceful about Apple Hale going to a church?
Since Apple Hale wouldn’t say, Thea Shaw didn’t press further. She smiled warmly, "Auntie, have a thorough examination, here’s my contact information. If you need help with anything concerning your husband, feel free to contact me."
Apple Hale looked at the contact information, hesitated for a moment, and took it. Thea Shaw indeed turned and left.
Apple Hale watched her departure for a while before letting out a heavy sigh.
