However, after Bernard Sterling examined Mrs. Sterling's condition and her vitals, his brow furrowed deeply.
"Mrs. Sterling's injuries are suspicious. We need to involve the police." As a doctor, Bernard Sterling could tell at a glance that her wounds weren't caused by the fire; they were clearly inflicted by someone.
Timothy Sterling was stunned. He had assumed that Mrs. Sterling had been hit by falling debris or injured in some other way during the house fire. Now, hearing Bernard's words, his heart clenched in his chest.
"Inflicted... What do you mean, inflicted by someone? Why would anyone hurt my mom?"
Aurora Sterling sniffled. Looking at Mrs. Sterling being attended to and the frantic Timothy Sterling, she spoke in a low voice. "I remember Grandma saying that Grandpa hated being disturbed while he worked, so his study was in the most secluded part of the house. To minimize noise, the walls and door were specially made. They were soundproofed and much thicker than normal."
