The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 907

"Sher, are you okay?" Sue anxiously asked. "Does it hurt?"

"I'm okay," Sheryl answered her with a reassuring smile. Sue then heaved out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God you're okay."

Laura was infuriated by the act made by the fat woman. "Anthony, call the police now. Let me see if the laws of this country can protect its people."

Anthony nodded and immediately took out his phone. The man on other side shrank back. He started pulling the woman's sleeve and suggested, "Mom, I think we should leave now. If the police really come, how are we going to deal with them?"

"What are you scared of?" the woman exclaimed in a bitter tone. She waved her hand and responded with no remorse on her face, "They killed my daughter. I'm only trying to seek justice here. What's wrong with that? Why do I have to leave?"

"But…" the man contested. He again tried to persuade her to leave, but the woman refused to listen. She continued to curse Sue until the police stepped in. The woman rushed towards the policeman as soon as he appeared in her sight. She pointed a finger toward Sue and insisted that he should take actions to arrest her. "Sir, the younger brother of that woman murdered my daughter. My poor daughter was six-month pregnant. I didn't even have the chance to see the little baby. He killed both his wife and his baby. Please, you have to help me."

The woman started to cry out loud, "This family is not only covering a crime, but also trying to kill me. Please help me!"

"Did you call the police?" the policeman asked as he was dazed by her acting. He looked at the woman, who continued to cry at the side as a man tried to soothe her.

He knew the case as a quarrel when he was instructed to go there, but now it turned into a criminal case.

"It's me," Anthony spoke from the back, his face devoid of any emotion. A crowd began to build up because of the show the woman had created. Anthony made his way to approach the policeman to explain.

"Sir, please listen to me," he started. But the woman got hold of the policeman's arm. She continued clinging to him and wouldn't let go. "They killed my daughter. You must seek justice for me."

"Let go of me first." He gave the woman a helpless look. "Please, Madam." Then he turned to Anthony and said, "Let me hear your clarification first. Then I will do what I should as a policeman."

"Arrest them! Arrest them all!" the crazy woman screamed. "I want all of them to die!"

"What is going on here?" The policeman finally gave up talking to the irrational woman. He turned again to Anthony to clarify on what the commotion was about.

Anthony gave him a summary of the chain of events, as well as what had happened today. After the policeman got a general understanding of what was really going on, Anthony then proceeded to explain why he had called the police. "At first, I didn't want to involve the police with our quarrel. But as you can see, we really can't handle this woman anymore. She is making a mess here. My wife is pregnant and I'm worried that she will get hurt and traumatized. I have no choice but to seek your assistance. Please help us."

"Alright, I get it." The policeman shot a glimpse at the woman. Though he could understand her pain in losing her daughter, what she was doing was totally was acceptable. Acting like this would not bring her daughter back to life, and the real murderer would still be at large. She was only calling for trouble.

Luckily, she did not resolve to violence, and no one was hurt.

"You guys, come to the police station with me," the policeman ordered as he pointed at the fat woman and her people. She was in a shock upon hearing what the policeman had said.

"Why?" she demanded. Pointing at Sue, she complained, "Now, the accomplice is right here. Shouldn't you be arresting her? Why are you arresting me when I am the victim? Is this what an honorable policeman should do?"

"I'm sorry, Madam," the policeman explained. "We will investigate your daughter's case, and we promise to give you an update regarding her death. But you have violated the peace and order of the community, so you will have to go with me to the police station."

"I'm not going with you," she refused. She even sat on the floor to show her disagreement. To make the situation more complicated, she even shouted manically to the crowd trying to gain the public's sympathy and to escape the police's order. "Take a look, everyone! This family is really something. They killed my daughter, and now for some reason, they even convinced the police to arrest me. Oh my poor daughter! Your mom is so useless, so pathetic! I don't have the power to get the support from the police. I don't know when the day of justice would come! That's so unfair. I'm so sorry for you, my dear daughter."
