“I’m here today to tell you that we’ve found a witness. You’re going to be sued for making a false accusation!”
With a glance at her assistant, she said, “Let’s go!”
“Mom!” Yuna sobbed, clutching onto Malvina. “What are we going to do? You were the one who insisted I sue her!”
“Be quiet!”
Malvina was thoroughly exasperated. Yes, it was her idea to sue Sherilyn, but she never expected a witness to emerge! “All you ever do is cry!”
“And now you’re yelling at me? Hey! Don’t you walk away!”
Yuna, overwhelmed and desperate, shouted after Edwin Morris, “It wasn’t my idea to sue, it was my mom’s! It was all her doing!”
“Yuna!” Malvina shook with anger. “Shut your mouth! Who do you think I’m doing this for?”
Upon hearing this, Edwin Morris quickly turned back. “Ms. Martin, think carefully! This isn’t a joke. You’re the one who will be held responsible, not your mother!”
“I’ll speak!”
Yuna, her throat dry, managed to say, “Sherilyn didn’t push me! I tried to grab her, missed, and lost my balance. That’s how I fell…”
“The witness said the same thing!”
Edwin Morris, as serious as ever, added, “Ms. Martin, you still have time to withdraw the lawsuit. Once the court schedules a hearing and the witness testifies, it’ll be too late.” “Alright!”
Yuna, terrified and disoriented, had no choice but to agree. “I withdraw the lawsuit! Right now!”
…
After Yuna withdrew her lawsuit, Sherilyn was still in the hospital, but her fever had finally broken.
Edwin Morris, having completed the necessary paperwork at the police station, hurried over to update her.
“That’s the situation, Ms. Gomez. If you’re feeling alright, you can go home now.” Hearing the full story, Sherilyn pondered, “So, there was a witness that day?”
“Yes.” Edwin Morris nodded, smiling. “We were fortunate to have that witness.” “Yes.” Sherilyn nodded back. “Can I meet them? I’d like to thank them…” “Well…”
Edwin Morris hesitated. “I’m afraid that’s not possible. The witness is under protection. It’s best not to disturb them unless absolutely necessary.”
“I see.” Sherilyn smiled, not pushing the issue. “Alright then.”
“Take care of yourself.” Edwin Morris stood up. “I’ll pass on your thanks.”
Just after Edwin Morris left, Galen and Edgar arrived one after another.
Sherilyn was already packed and ready to leave the hospital. “You guys made it? I’m fine now.” “Sis, thank goodness!” Galen exhaled deeply. “You really do have someone watching over you!”
“Sorry to scare you.” Sherilyn smiled weakly. Unlike the previous year, filled with helpless isolation and defenselessness, this time she had a witness… and the support of her brother and friends. FindNovel
In the end, fortune smiled upon her. The hardships of the past year did not revisit her!
“Sherilyn.”
Edgar frowned slightly but said nothing definitive. “You’ve just recovered from a fever. You need rest. Jenna is waiting for you too. Let’s go home.”
“Heh.” Galen chuckled, whispering to Sherilyn, “Sis, this Mr. Ferguson is quite something. Definitely an upgrade from Gilbert.”
With that, he nodded at Edgar, “Mr. Ferguson, could you take my sister home? Sis, give me a call when you get there.” “Will do.”
…
Gilbert sat in his car, watching Edgar’s Pagani drive away from the hospital, clenching his fists.
Beside him, Edwin Morris glanced over. “You had your chance to go in but chose not to. Now, she’s gone with Edgar, and you didn’t even get a glimpse of her.”
Gilbert shook his head, “As long as she’s okay, that’s all that matters.”
Seeing her might just upset her again.
“Man,” Edwin Morris sighed, a mix of frustration and pity, “If you knew it would come to this, why did you ever divorce her in the first place?”
If only we could see the future…
