Medical Center.
The surgery was not complicated. With Adam handling it, it was completed quickly.
In the hospital room.
Adam chatted with the NYPD officer in charge of the case while waiting for Holly to wake up.
There was still no news from Juno's side. Clearly, they had yet to find that perverted kidnapper.
Adam was not surprised.
Anyone who could abduct a little girl off the street and leave no trace for twelve years was either extremely experienced, extremely well-resourced, or highly intelligent.
No matter which it was, once he knew Holly had escaped, he would not stay put and wait to be caught.
Even with A Long Sigh's abilities, they could not immediately lock onto him.
So Adam wanted to learn something from Holly to assist Juno and the others, putting him away as soon as possible so he would not hurt any more innocents in his final days of freedom.
Yes.
Once he left traces and his identity was exposed, he was finished!
Judging from Holly's CT scans, Adam could tell what Holly had gone through over the years without her saying a word.
That kidnapper truly was a pervert.
And when it came to dealing with perverts like that, Juno was the professional.
"It's her, it's her, it's my baby..."
Holly's parents arrived just then. They recognized their daughter at first glance and immediately broke down in tears.
When Holly woke up, she was extremely distant and tense in the face of her parents' genuine emotions, constantly looking toward Adam beside her.
Adam reassured both sides.
This was all normal. They both needed time.
Holly's parents were persuaded to leave, though they left behind a family photo album they had prepared, filled with pictures of Holly as a child.
"Do they really think this will help?"
