695 Jail Time (2/2)
”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.
