Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 193

What had gotten into her?

After a brief pause, I picked up my phone and dialed 911 without hesitation. The call was put through, and I said directly, “Hi, I’m calling to report a domestic violence incident here - it is really bad.”

I gave the address to the dispatcher, then I hung up. Steven Pearson was gloomy and irritable, “What’s the matter with you? Do you think I dare not do anything to you?”

His reaction seemed quite odd, unlike ordinary people.

I looked over at Jackie Wells. She finally calmed down after a moment of shock. Something seemed to be way off, almost as if Jackie had been used to What Steven just did to her.

Walking towards her, I reached out my hand to her and asked, “Long time no see, Jackie. Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”

She glanced at Steven. And then she shook her head with fear, looked at me and forced a smile, “Thanks, Clara. But I am alright. Don’t worry about it!”

Steven sneered and put his hands in his pockets. He wasn’t showing any slight sign of fear even after being reported to the police. Instead, he looked fearlessly calm and confident.

The police officers arrived shortly. After a few questions, they took Steven with them.

To get evidence and proof, I asked Hank Gibson to contact the restaurant owner for the CCTV footage.

Jackie was invited to the police station to make a statement, too. And I was the one who had called 911, so I wouldn’t be getting out of this awkward situation any sooner.

After making the statement, it was already one o’clock when we came out of the police station, which left us no time to take a break.

Steven was take into custody for intentional assault.

We were finally out the police station, but Jackie remained silent - she didn’t open up, and I didn’t know how to ask her about it all of a sudden.

I couldn’t bear to leave her alone, especially now she was in a terrible shape. So I walked up to her and said, “Although I am not sure what you’ve gone through in the past six months, but this is my phone number. If you need anything, I am only one phone call away. I will do my best to help you!”

After all, Jackie and I had worked together for two years - It would break my heart if I walked away without saying anything.

She froze for a while. Afterwards, she looked at with her tired eyes, with her tears pouring down, “Mrs. Kennedy, I...I’m sorry!”

I sighed, “It’s okay, it’s all over. If you need anything, give me a call!”

I had changed my phone number six months ago, that was why I gave her the new number.

And then I called her a cab and she was on her way home.

Hank Gibson looked at me, frowned, “She’s going to call you soon.”

I wasn’t pleased, “She seemed like a completely different person now!” What happened in her marriage?
