Before Emily could react, she was arrested by two policewomen.
Joyce shouted anxiously, "What are you doing? Why do you arrest her?"
"She's a wanted criminal. Now that she's finally back. We have to bring her back for interrogation." The leading man said righteously.
After saying that, he waved his hand, ignoring Joyce's screams and Bryce's cries, and took Emily to the police car.
"Mom, mom." Bryce wailed.
He was only a three-year-old child and had never seen such a scene before. When he saw her mother being taken away, he was frightened.
Joyce was also a mother and quickly covered Bryce's eyes. She said to Bryce, "Good boy, don't cry. Your mom just has to deal with something. She'll be back soon. Don't cry."
"You're lying. They're the police. The police only catch bad people. Why did they catch mom?" Bryce asked sobbing.
Joyce didn't expect him to be so smart as a three-year-old boy to realize the relations so clearly and she didn't know how to answer him.
Fortunately, Sebastian came out. Joyce quickly told him what had happened in a low voice and handed Bryce, who was crying, to him.
Sebastian thought for a while and said, "Let's go find the child's father first! He needs to know about this."
Joyce nodded and quickly carried Bryce to the hospital with Sebastian.
Bryce was very observant and accurately recalled which ward his father was in and took them there.
Emily, on the other hand, sat in the police car, still confused.
When she was locked up in the police station, she urgently asked, "Why did you arrest me? What crime have I committed?"
"You are the suspect of a murder case four years ago. We've been looking for you for four years." The policeman said expressionlessly.
Emily widened her eyes and understood instantly.
The murder case four years ago? It could only be the case pertaining to Franklin.
"But isn't he all right now?" Emily asked.
She thought that since Franklin had recovered and known the whole story, he must have dropped the lawsuit.
"Although the victim has recovered, the fact that you're a murder remains unchanged. For four years, the victim has never quited bringing you to justice," the policeman said.
Emily was speechless.
She wanted to curse. What was Franklin trying to do? He knew clearly that she was innocent, but why didn't he drop the lawsuit?
"I want to see Franklin. Let me see him." Emily said eagerly.
Although she was at sea, she had a hunch that she could only solve this matter after seeing him.
"We can't make that decision. You can find your lawyer," the policeman said coldly.
After that, he left Emily there alone.
