NovelEnglishChapter 758 Outside the prison, Nathalie was waiting so long it felt like she was trying to watch paint dry. Officer Baldwin finally showed up, looking as if he had all the tin the world. "Ashley." Nathalie walked up to him, her eyes landing on his empty hands. Her face wasn't exactly thrilled, more like annoyed. She kicked herself for taking so long to figure out who he really was.

Officer Baldwin nodded. "At first, he didn't want them, but then he changed his mind. He's decided to keep them now." Nathalie's voice caught in her throat. "I knew it was him." Officer Baldwin gave Nathalie a long look, unsure of what to say. His bosses wanted him to convince Inmate No. 13 to turn over a new leaf, but No. 13 didn't care about life or freedom, living by his own rules. Officer Baldwin was stumped.
But when he learned Nathalie and No. 13 were siblings, and saw the bond and love they shared, he figured Nathalie might just be the ticket to reaching No. 13. Yet, he chose not to take advantage of her.
Nathalie, however, brought it up on her own. "Officer Baldwin, he's got a good heart; he's no villain. If there's a chance to get his sentence reduced, I want to help." Officer Baldwin was floored. It was like stumbling upon a solution without even trying.

But he seems to have lost all hope, and nothing I've said has managed to get through to him." "I can tell he cares about you, Ashley. If you could talk to him, maybe you could change his mind. But..." Officer Baldwin hesitated. "I promised him I wouldn't use you. If he finds out I did, he might hold it against me." Nathalie chuckled. "Officer Baldwin, just say I thought of it on my own. It's got nothing to do with you." Officer Baldwin grinned. "Ashley, you sure know how to turn a phrase." Nathalie paused, then added, "As long as it means he gets out sooner, I'll do anything for him." Moved by Nathalie's resolve, Officer Baldwin offered stips. "He's hacked into the networks of a few big corporations, causing them a lot of trouble with his smarts. If he can patch those holes himself, it'd go a long way toward reducing his time." "And there's more. He's got this cutting-edge surveillance system that can track anyone anywhere with pinpoint accuracy. It'd be a huge help for us in solving cases. But he won't share it. If he used it to help us his sentence could be slashed..." Cóntent belongs to "And his artificial intelligence, it's so sophisticated it's almost
indistinguishable from a real brain. If he shared that breakthrough, it could lead to an even bigger sentence E reduction."
Nathalie noted everything down, and when Officer Baldwin finished, she simply said, "Sthings you can nudge; and sthings you just can't. I won't push him."
Officer Baldwin was stunned. It was like watching a parent spoil their kid. But Nathalie's/next words really threw En him for a loop.
