Everyone was appalled by the idea of Leonard keeping the baby but abandoning the mother in this day and age, especially some young mothers. started cursing me out on Twitter,
“How dare the snatch another person”
n’s baby because she can’t have her own! Does she think she’s above the law?”
They
Another cursed, “Why Is Leonard protecting her? Does he not care about his own wife and baby?
“Do you know why you don’t have children and a family? Because you have no conscience, and karma is coming at you. Serves you right for having ething!”
I read the comments and silently turned my phone off.
Julian said I had to watch my temper. Otherwise, I might lose my life. Eventually, I deleted my Twitter app and stopped reading anything online–out of sight, out of mind. Unfortunately, everyone else was denying me the peace I wanted.
When Penelope and a few police officers came to see me, I noticed Daryl again. This time, he said nothing and stood at the back of the group.
He did not provoke me, so I was unbothered by him
This time, Penelope’s superior came to interrogate me.
The questions be asked were the same. They interrogated every single matter that I did not do, and they
“So, you’re sure that you didn’t push Amelia?”
I wasn’t the one who did them
“The baby stroller incident had nothing to do with you?!
I couldn’t remember the rest of the police officer’s questions because I had passed out.
Julian was right–something would happen if I were emotionally triggered.
1 heard Daryland Penelope arguing by the door when I woke up again.
“How can we let this go just because she passed out? Does it mean that every murderer we encounter from here on could get away with their crimes by pretending to pass out? How are you even managing this case? Can’t you tell that she’s faking it?”
Daryl sounded agitated and was unbothered by his surroundings.
“Daryl, have you forgotten what our director said? Eva is severely ill. She can’t even stand on her two feet, let alone push someone.”
Penelope continued to stand on my side, but it was unfortunate that Daryl did not believe her. Their voices tried to overtake each other.
My head throbbed from the argument at the door.
Jack entered just as I was about to ask the bodyguards to send them away.
“You’re awake.”
He strode in big steps to my bedside and looked at me with his head lowered, worried. His face was devoid of expression, but his eyes betrayed him.
“You’re back”
“Of course.”
Irritated, Jack held my hand. “Leave it to the lawyer to handle the police at the door. Rest. Leave the rest to me. You don’t need to overthink it. I’ll send a complaint about that police officer.”
I blinked at him but did not plead for Daryl.
