“I’m terribly sorry you had to see something like this on your first trip to visit us…” Peggy Howards said apologetically as she looked at the Batton family.
She had heard from the old lady downstairs about everything that had happened earlier.
That old lady was a witness.
“It’s fine. None of you wanted this, no?” Sharon Lindt was very understanding of the situation. She didn’t think it was a big deal.
Peggy let out a long, helpless sigh.
“Mom, Aunt Lindt has already said she’d help Cindy get a divorce. She’d also make sure her husband stays in prison forever. So he’ll never be able to come out and wreak havoc again,” Annabeth Cates said as she held Peggy’s hand tightly.
When Peggy heard this, she sighed in relief.
For so many years, their entire family had been through so much terror because of Cindy Schumer’s marriage…
The entire family would even dream of this day coming.
They all hated Cindy’s husband to the core, but they couldn’t do anything to him because of his connections.
Peggy immediately held Sharon’s hand tightly. “Ms. Lindt, thank you so much… Thank you. I’m forever indebted to you,” Peggy said.
Sharon shrugged nonchalantly. “Don’t worry about it. I’ve already said it before. We’re all family. It’s only right for us to help you.”
“Peggy, bring Ms. Lindt and Mr. Batton to our house and make them feel welcome…” Bobby Cates said.
Peggy nodded repeatedly. “Of course…”
“Let’s not do that… If we’re gone, who’d take care of you?” Sharon looked at Bobby and asked.
Bobby immediately laughed. “Cindy and I will take care of each other… Don’t worry. If you’re still worried, just get a few nurses to check on us occasionally,” Bobby said.
“It’s fine, Ms. Lindt. Bobby and Cindy can look after one another…” Peggy said.
Sharon hesitated for a while before nodding. She then looked at Josh. “Go out and get a few nurses to take care of them around the clock…”
