Angela's anger had affected the innocent. She stared at Arvin angrily and said, "It was your good pal that hurt my bestie. You ought to teach him a lesson!"
"..." "What happened?" asked Arvin. Arvin grasped Angela's hand as she was leaving, and caressed it.
Stanley said in a plain voice, "The investigation is still ongoing but it's almost done." The text could not have been sent by him at all, because the time showed that it was sent yesterday afternoon. He was at a meeting at that time, and the phone was being charged in his office. There were two possibilities: First, that someone had slipped into his office and used his phone when he was at the meeting. Second, that his phone was infected with a virus.
He had already detained Grace for intentional assault.
After the investigation, if the results showed that it was indeed her, he definitely would not let Grace go for hurting his woman and his baby.
Angela tried to rush forward and hit Stanley again, but Arvin stopped her and said, "Don't worry, at least wait until the investigation result comes out."
After all they were good pals. They knew each other very well.
Angela stared back at Arvin, "Don't you stick up for him. It is because of him that Nancy was lying in the ward!" She pointed at Stanley and said, "Even if he and Grace had nothing going on between them, Nancy almost lost her baby because of him." As for Grace, Angela would surely make her pay for what she had done.
"Yeah, it was because of me. It was all my fault. Angela, please, ask Nancy to try and cheer up, even if she won't forgive me, okay?"
Angela was still agitated. "How do you expect someone to cheer up after they had found out that their fiancé and their sister were having an affair?", she shouted at Stanley, "Stanley, do you know how Grace had treated Nancy before?" asked Angela. "And you allowed Grace to be near her!
Not to mention our past history together, when Nancy and I got hurt because of Grace and her mother! They paid off the mob to take Nancy's life!" Angela found out later when Nancy had told her. She had advised Nancy to be careful when meeting Grace.
When the criminals were caught they committed a mass suicide, and the clues that linked to Grace were all cut off.
"I thought you were a cop and that you could protect Nancy better than me, but how could you still let her get hurt?" Even though Angela was relieved that Nancy's baby was safe, she was still very mad.
She trusted Nancy's safety and well-being to Stanley, but she never imagined that Stanley would almost let her have a miscarriage.
Stanley sincerely did not know that Grace would be so cruel and merciless, and that they wanted Nancy dead.
"It was my fault. I had not taken proper care of Nancy. I promise this won't happen again!" Stanley promised to Angela. Nancy could hear them from the inside because they were talking so loudly.
After noticing the sincerity in Stanley's face, Angela started to calm down a little bit. "Never mind, after all you are the father of the baby. I'll ask Nancy to think about it carefully. How about telling Nancy the truth that you had an affair with Grace?" asked Angela.
Stanley opposed immediately, "I am a cop and I won't lie. If I say I didn't do it, it means I didn't do it!"
"...." Angela replied, "Okay, I trust you. Here, this is the medicine grandma asked me to bring over. It will help prevent the miscarriage. You should make the soup for Nancy and let her have some."
She walked into the ward to fetch the medicine that Lily sent for Nancy and handed it to Stanley. Stanley took it and immediately arranged for somebody to make the soup.
To reassure Angela about Nancy's condition, Arvin took another test and made sure that as long as she stayed bedridden and got ample rest, Nancy would be fine. After that, they headed back to Shengfeng Mansion.
