Harry paused, thought for a moment, and then continued, "This man's behavior is a bit unscrupulous. He didn't even issue a 'gag order' to Molly. So as time goes by, Molly should be able to tell you about her experiences in the past few months, including his information." Luke nodded slightly.

"He is either a lunatic or he is very confident in his hypnotic skills and is sure that no one can report him." Harry continued: "If you go to investigate him, you'd better be careful. His hypnotic skills may be very high, and the effect is definitely much stronger than that of an ordinary psychiatrist."

Luke raised an eyebrow: "Can you break the hypnosis he put on Molly?"

Harry hesitated for a long time, then nodded slightly: "I can try to take it slowly. Time is on our side after all."

Luke nodded: "Thank you for your help then."

Having said this, everyone prepared to disperse.

At this time, a young woman came over and looked at the people standing at the door. Finally, her eyes stopped at Christina's face: "Excuse me, are you Nurse Christina Palmer?"

Christina nodded: "It's me, what's going on?"

The young woman gestured, and the two walked a few steps away. She whispered, "Do you have a Molly Johnson girl here?"

Christina was stunned: "Who are you?"

Young woman: "I was asked by her parents to look for her for a while. Yesterday I heard that an anonymous person who matched her situation moved in here, so I came to take a look."

Christina hesitated for a moment, but still waved to Luke and the others.

When Luke and the others came over, she introduced them to the young woman: "This is Detective Coulson, this is Detective Hayek, and this is psychiatrist Harley. I think they can help you."

The young woman frowned and shifted a little uncomfortably, looking at Luke and Selina with a bad look on her face.

Luke held out his hand: "What's your name?"

"Jessica." The young woman ignored his outstretched hand, simply gave her name, and went straight to the point: "What do you want to do about Molly?"

Luke looked at Christina and Harley, and after a brief eye contact, he said, "Ms. Jessica, I need to confirm your identity and purpose first."

Jessica repeated what she said to Christina.

Luke nodded: "Can you prove it?"

Jessica frowned and took out a photo from her pocket: “This is given to me by her parents.”

Luke took it and first looked at the photo of a family of three smiling happily in front of a birthday cake. The girl in the middle was indeed Molly Johnson.

Turning over the photo, I saw a line of words written on the back: Baby, happy 15th birthday, may you always be lucky and happy.

After handing the photo to Selina, he looked at Jessica: "Jessica, do you have Molly's parents' phone number?"

Jessica hesitated, but nodded.

"Can you give it to me?" Luke asked. "You found the person, and her parents shouldn't default on the money they paid for you, but I can't just hand Molly over to you, a non-guardian, right?"

Jessica stared at him for a moment. "Where's your badge? I need to confirm your identity, too."

Luke smiled, picked up the thin chain in his shirt and pulled out the police badge.

After making sure that Jessica on the other side had seen it clearly, he stuffed it back.

Selina at the side also made a similar move and said, "This is my police badge."

Jessica glanced at her badge and looked away.

There's nothing wrong with Luke's police badge, so it doesn't matter whether Selina takes out the badge or not.

She dug into her pocket again and pulled out a business card: "Here's the phone number. Her father's name is Richard Johnson and her mother's name is Novena Johnson."

Luke handed the business card to Selina, and took the photo and returned it to Jessica: "Molly is in the ward, but her condition is very poor. How long you can talk to her and what to talk about must be determined by these two people."

He gestured to Christina and Halle, then walked aside to listen to Selina's conversation with Molly's parents.

Jessica communicated with the two women for a few words and was then taken in.

From Luke's keen hearing, Jessica didn't ask many questions. She just asked two simple questions, confirmed Molly's identity, and then walked out again to ask Christina and the others about Molly's situation.

"Is that man called Kilgrave?" Jessica suddenly asked, "He likes to wear suits and speaks with a British accent?"

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Jessica.

After a moment of silence, Luke didn't say anything, but Harry spoke first: "We don't know who 'he' is yet, but a British accent is possible. When Molly mentioned 'him', there were a few sentences in which the vocabulary was clearly the British way of expression."

Seeing Jessica's suddenly ugly expression, Luke suddenly said, "Miss Jessica, do you know "him"?"

Jessica shuddered slightly, her face changed for a moment, and she suddenly turned around and left: “Sorry, I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first.”

After taking a few steps, she staggered and almost fell.

But she still didn't stop. Instead, she quickened her pace, walking faster and faster, and soon disappeared at the end of the passage.

Christina looked at Luke and said, "You, don't stop her?"

Luke shook his head and looked at Harley: "What do you think?"

A thoughtful look flashed across Harry's eyes: "She should know something. This reaction... is a bit excessive."

At this moment, her eyes met Luke's. They were silent for a moment, then looked away tacitly.

Luke: "Well, at least Molly's parents were found."

Harry suddenly said, "This might be a little troublesome."

Christina was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Luke explained sympathetically, "Molly's parents have already flown back from San Francisco. They will probably be at the hospital this afternoon. Whether Molly stays or goes will depend on their decision."

Christina was puzzled: "The daughter disappeared in New York, but they ran to Los Angeles? Their home is in Massachusetts, right?"

Luke: "They have been looking for Molly 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 there."

Christina was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Then at least they can rest assured now."

It is better for the daughter to be alive and meet her parents than to become a corpse and only be able to say goodbye to her body.

Next, Luke and Harley communicated for a while to learn more about the "he" that Molly mentioned.

There were only a few bits of information, but Harry explained it in great detail, taking almost half an hour to finish.

"That's all I can do now." Harley exhaled, "The rest is up to you, Luke."
