The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 348

Killian smoothly tilted his head to dodge the blow, his tongue casually prodding the inside of his cheek.

An officer approached them. "Mr. Quincy? Are you the one who called this in?"

Blinking through the blinding headlights, Jillian finally realized who she was swinging at.

"I'm sorry," she breathed out.

He just stood up, completely ignoring her existence.

"I am," he told the officer.

It was pitch black out when Judith and Lydia finally received the call from the precinct.

Since they couldn't leave Stella home alone at this hour, they brought her along to the station.

"Mom, what happened to you?" Stella's eyes were red as she cautiously reached out to touch Jillian's cheek.

Her hair was a messy nest, and her face and arms were covered in ugly scrapes and bruises.

"It's nothing. Mom's perfectly fine, see?" she smiled, trying to soothe the girl.

Tears streamed down Stella's face as she threw her arms around her mother in a desperate hug.

A few minutes later, Daniel rushed through the doors.

Jillian looked sheepish. "Daniel, why are you here?"

"I called him," Judith chimed in. "I've never dealt with anything like this before. I had no idea what to do."

It made sense. Her mother and grandmother were both older; getting a call from the police must have terrified them, so they reached out to Daniel for help.

"Don't worry about a thing. I'll handle this," he said, taking a seat beside her.

"Are you badly hurt anywhere?"

She shook her head.

"Let me take you to the hospital."

"No need. I want to give my statement while the memory is still fresh."

After reassuring Daniel, she turned back to calm her family. "They didn't really hurt me. Killian chased them down and rammed their van. He called the cops, and they got there just in time."

Judith and Lydia exchanged baffled looks. What was Killian doing in the middle of all this?

While the adults were busy talking, Stella quietly slipped out of the room.

She wandered into the adjacent office and asked the desk duty officer for a paper cup, carefully filling it with warm water for her mother.

Suddenly, the door to an interrogation room down the hall swung open.
