After all, her Dad had indeed committed the crime of wounding with intent.
If George wanted to pursue the case, her Dad would never be able to escape, because from the beginning to the end, George did not resist in the slightest, so legally, her Dad would not be able to curry favour at all.
Once George determined to let her Dad go to jail, her Dad would definitely be in jail.
Seeing Jessie frowning with a sad face, Jessie's mother couldn't help but flick her forehead, "What's that sad face? What's on your mind?"
Jessie bit her lower lip, hesitated for a few seconds, and still spoke out what she was worried about.
After hearing that, her mother's face also changed, "This ......"
Obviously, she hadn't thought it might come to this.
Jessie's mother looked at Jessie with a worried face, "What do you think we should do if he really wants to sue your father?"
Jessie shook her head, "I don't know."
"How about we go to the hospital and plead with him?" Jessie's mother thought for a moment and named an option, "Maybe in this way, he won't sue your father."
"But do you think that's possible?" Jessie let out a bitter laugh, "If George was really that generous, he would not hold a grudge against our Robinson family for so many years."
"......" At this, Jessie's mother had nothing to say.
Yes, if George had really been so generous, he would have figured out long ago that t were not them to bring his parents' death.
"But we just wait and see your father is really going to jail?" Jessie's mother was so anxious that her eyes were red.
With George's vengeful character, he would definitely not let the old man go.
Jessie held her palm for a while before she spoke, "Mom, let's go to the hospital."
"To the hospital?" Jessie's mother looked at her in disbelief.
Jessie nodded, "Well, go to the hospital, make amends with George first, no matter what, dad put his hands on him, indeed he made a mistake, so we should show him out attitude. Whether he forgives us or not, we have to apologize.Or we can’t save Dad."
Jessie's mother sighed, "You're right about that."
"Then let's hurry up and go." Jessie got up, "Maybe when we apologize, there is still hope for George to let dad go, although this hope is slim, but we still have to make an effort. If he is not willing to accept our apology and insists on suing dad, we can also try to find out what he really wants and what it will take to let dad go."
"What if he wants the baby in your belly?" Jessie's mother looked at her belly.
Jessie's pupils contracted for a moment, and her face turned white, obviously frightened by her mother's words, and she did not speak for a long time.
Yes, didn't George come here after her to force her to remove the baby?
Now there was an opportunity that he absolutely could not miss.
And this almost, without him having to do it himself, but the family volunteered to come to him.
Seeing Jessie like this, Jessie's mother was heartbroken and went forward to take her into her arms, patting her back and comforting her, "Alright Jessie, don't think too much, I'm just saying, maybe things aren't that serious."
"But mom, we both know very well that if we really want George to let dad go, getting rid of the baby is the best way, isn't it?" Jessie's face was full of bitterness, "And George will inevitably make such a request, he came here originally to ask me to abort the baby."
To be honest, she has now forgotten about George, does not love George, and her feelings for this child in her belly are not really that deep.
But before she did, she who had not forgotten George before, had deep feelings for this child, otherwise she would not have written on the note specifically the words that even if she forgot George, she would still give birth to the child and raise it properly.
So, this is a child that she really does not want to take away.
In case, later on, she accidentally regained her memory of George and then the baby was lost, she didn't know how devastated she would be.
But now the dilemma is that Dad is in the problem of imprisonment.
