The loud banging startled the guards. They rushed to Boone’s cell to check what was going on.

Boone’s eyes were glazed over, his face twisted in agony as he muttered nonsense

nonstop.

The prison doctor arrived quickly, trying to inject him with a sedative–but Boone thrashed wildly like a madman, his strength terrifying.

“No! I won’t! I need to atone! I have to atone!” he screamed, his face covered in tears and snot, his voice raw and hoarse.

The next day, Adrian filed a motion requesting a psychiatric evaluation for Boone, citing signs of mental instability.

When Sloane heard about it, she laughed.

That’s Adrian for you. Golden boy of the legal world—and bold enough to use the insanity card if it might save Boone.

Once a suspect is declared mentally unfit, court proceedings are temporarily suspended.

And if the evaluation concludes that the person is completely incapable of understanding or controlling their behavior, they may be deemed not criminally responsible under the law.

But faking it well enough to fool the professionals? That wasn’t so easy.

Still, Sloane decided to help things, along.

Soon after, the justice department sent specialists to conduct Boone’s evaluation.

The results? Boone was diagnosed with schizophrenia, triggered by the psychological trauma of the car accident. He was found to have completely lost the ability to recognize or control his behavior.

The findings fully met the criteria for halting prosecution.

It all seemed almost too smooth–but no one in the Rivers family questioned it. The evaluation had been conducted by an old acquaintance of theirs.

That very same day, Boone was transferred to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.

Sloane changed clothes and went in person to visit the victim’s family.

“Thank you!” Ms. Yvonne dropped to her knees the moment she saw Sloane.

Even though the man who ruined their lives hadn’t been thrown in prison, none of this would’ve come to light without Sloane’s help. Her daughter’s surgery fund never would’ve come together so quickly.

She was just an ordinary woman. All she wanted was to keep her family together. She didn’t dare hope for too much.

“I accept your thanks,” Sloane said gently. “But don’t kneel every time.” She helped Ms. Yvonne up herself, then asked softly, “Is the surgery scheduled?”

“Yes! We’re just waiting for the procedure now,” Ms. Yvonne said, tears flowing. “If it weren’t for you, we never would’ve gotten Dr. Zander to take the case himself.”

Dr. Zander was one of the country’s top pediatric oncology surgeons. His time was in such high demand that most families would sell everything they owned and still not land a slot on his surgical calendar.

“That’s good.” Sloane nodded. “Once your child’s surgery is done, I’ll personally treat your husband’s leg.”

Ms. Yvonne was stunned. Her lips trembled as she asked, “Treat his leg? But the doctors already said it’s permanent–he’ll never walk again.”

Her breath hitched. She looked like someone awaiting a final verdict from the

reaper.

“Just because others can’t fix it doesn’t mean I can’t.” Sloane’s voice was calm and full of confidence.
