695 Jail Time

As he buckled his seat, he took out his phone and dialed a number. Nora was settling Ava in the baby seat when she heard her mother\'s voice that startled her.

"My little prince! Are you missing mommy?"

"Mom, where are you?" asked Jackie without acting cute like his mom.

Clara frowned when she heard his voice and answered, "I\'m currently in Boston. What\'s wrong my baby boy?"

"Come back home! Right now!"

Clara\'s eyes widened at her son\'s tone. She felt apprehensive, "Did someone dare to bully my son? Who is it? Tell mommy, I\'ll beat them all up!"

"It\'s not me. It\'s Xiu," replied Jackie in an aggrieved way. Since everyone called him a kid, he was gonna act like a kid and complain to his mommy. After all, what was the best way to get your revenge? He just had to say a word to his mother and the rest would be done!

"Xiu? What happened to Xiu?"

Jackie sniffled as he told her, "Xiu is in a hospital right now. These people bullied her so much. It\'s attempted murder, I\'m telling you. You have to come back and get justice for her."

Clara was immediately in an alert mode as she coaxed him a bit to calm down and asked, "Give the phone to Nora."

"I\'m right here," said Nora as she sat behind the steering wheel. She knew her brother had put the phone on speaker on purpose. How could this little ancestor not have his own evil ideas?

"Tell me in detail what happened?"

Nora took a deep breath and told her everything from start to finish without hiding anything from her mother. She knew if she omitted anything this little one would surely spill the beans.

Clara was furious when she learned everything. Even the pen in her hand snapped because of her anger. "Someone called your sister a bastard child and you stood aside like a prop?! Aren\'t you the elder sister? She always stands up for you even though she is younger than you and you just stood aside?!"

Nora pouted, "It didn\'t look like she needed my help. I\'m always there whenever she needs me. Today, if I intervened, she might have beaten me up as well."

"That\'d be good," said Clara. "As an elder sister, you can\'t even protect your younger siblings. Why did I leave you there if you can\'t even do this much?"

"Mommm!!!" Nora whined like a kid while her mother reprimanded her for being a prop. She looked at her brother who was amused and gnashed her teeth. "Whatever! You come home and do something. If I don\'t see anyone behind the bars, I\'m not gonna be satisfied."

"That\'s my dialogue," said Jackie but she disregarded it.

When she hung up, Nora looked at Jackie and asked, "Are you satisfied now? Since mom said she won\'t let it go then you and I both know someone is facing jail time."

Jackie smirked evilly, "That\'s good. Evil shouldn\'t be running around on the streets."

Whether Clara Cartwright\'s love was for Xiu or Destiny, one thing was certain, she loved her very much. And she wasn\'t someone to be trifled with. She wouldn\'t be a top criminal lawyer otherwise. If someone touched her family, she didn\'t mind returning the favor!

Inside the hall, Francesca had almost fallen from shock when Darren was hurt. If it wasn\'t for Han Yiheng who was keeping an eye on her, she would have also collapsed. He helped her to sit and gave her a glass of water.

"I need to see my son," she said as she tried to get up but he didn\'t let her.

"First, calm down. Your son won\'t like to see you in this condition," said Han Yiheng.

Francesca shook her head, "No, I won\'t feel calm unless I see him with my own eyes. Both my son and daughter are in the hospital." She held her head in her hands as she kept talking, "Why did I even care about Qiu Meihui? I always loved her and this is how she returned the love? By hurting both my daughter and son? I can\'t believe it!" She shook her head, "I shouldn\'t have urged them to congratulate the bride and groom. I must have lost my mind. It\'s all my fault."

Han Yiheng who was standing beside her hesitated but still held her shoulders and let her lean on his as he said, "Stop saying that. It\'s not your fault. How would you know any of this?"

"No, it\'s really my fault," she was still lost in her self-blame. Whenever she thought of Darren and Xiu, she felt even more guilty. In fact, she wasn\'t supposed to. She did nothing wrong. But her anxiousness and love for both of them far exceeded reason.

"If you continue being like this, I won\'t take you to see them." Francesca looked up at him as he added, "So, hurry up and stop crying. I am certain your son would go mad if he saw you crying because of him."

Francesca couldn\'t even find words to refute him. He was right. Her Regi would be really upset if he saw her like this. She needed to be strong and take care of her kids. It wasn\'t time to be weak. She wiped her tears and stood up saying, "Alright. I won\'t cry now. Let\'s go now. I have to get to the hospital."

How could Han Yiheng refuse her when she spoke like this? He immediately nodded his head and led her out of there.
