Snare of Love novel Chapter 116

Once arrived at the hospital, Samuel was sent to the examination room.

Because Dolores mood was so unstable, the doctor didn’t let her in.

She leaned against the wall of the corridor; without the support of the wall she might not have been able to stand.

Matthew sat on the chair at the side, not persuading or comforting her.

After seeing the blood on Samuel’s face, she was already on the verge of collapsing and now even a small matter could make her completely collapse.

Suddenly the door of the examination room opened and the doctor walked out. He took off his mask and asked, “Who is the family member?”

“I am.”

Dolores walked over quickly and asked anxiously, “Is he okay?”

“Superficial wound, he knocked his head somewhere which caused the bleeding. I have cleaned the wound and his face needs to be iced for a bit to calm the swelling. I will prescribe the medicine; you can take it from the first floor. You can take him home.”

“Thank you. Thank you.” Dolores repeatedly thanked him and ran into the examination room. Samuel was lying on the bed and the blood on his face was already cleaned. His face was still swollen, five fingers printed clearly on it with bandage on his forehead. He was awake.

Seeing Dolores, he called, “Mommy!”

“Samuel!” Dolores rushed over to hold his hand. Fortunately, he was okay.

She stretched out her hand with teary eyes and gently held his face, stroking his cheek with her thumb in distress, “Thank God! You are okay.”

“Nothing will happen to me.” Samuel reached out to wipe the tears that fell from Dolores eyes, “Mommy, don’t cry, I am completely fine.”

Dolores lowered her head and buried her face in his embrace, her shoulders trembling slightly.

She let out a muffled whimper.

Matthew stood at the door of the examination room, looking at them.

He had never seen Dolores cry like this, sobbing and swallowing her tears.

She could only swallow her tears, not daring to cry loudly for the fear of affecting Samuel.

His heartstrings seemed to have been touched suddenly.

His eyes looked deep as he looked at them

Samuel made the ‘OK’ gesture with his fingers at Matthew at the door.

He smiled.

Matthew also smiled and responded with the same gesture.

Then he walked in, “We can go back now.”

Dolores lowered her head, wiped her face and then picked up Samuel, “Come on, Mommy will take you home.”

Samuel hugged her around the neck, feeling her warmth.

When they arrived on the first floor, Matthew went to get the medicine. Suddenly, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. It was a message from Boyce.

He clicked to see the message: [Watch the news.]

Then there was a link to a news article.

He clicked it open.

It contained a large eye-catching picture of the scene of rescuing Samuel in that village. The title reads: City B’s jewelry tycoon, the Herbert siblings kidnap five-year-old child to blackmail!

With the internet so fast, as long as there’s a little disturbance and someone uploaded it on the internet, it was bound to spread soon, especially if it was about the rich and powerful bullying the common people.

This kind of news was easily going to attract attention, especially because the victim was a five-year-old child.

The blood on Samuel’s face in the photo stirred up a lot of people’s pity.

Including those arranged by Abbott, the comments were all one-sided.

[The Herbert family bullied a child, was their conscience eaten by dogs?]

[In this society, being rich and powerful means that you can rely on your money and bully even a child? Why didn’t he die? People like him should be run over with cars as soon as they go out.]

[They must be severely punished, should not be dealt with lightly just because they are rich. Two adults bullying a child? They should be shot]

The comments are intense.

Some people deliberately leaded, ignoring why Herbert family would go after a child, only focusing on the fact that they bullied a child.
