Chapter 38
When the fat woman saw the tall and short haired woman, she immediately rushed up and hugged her, crying, "Amy, you're
here. Please save my son. Please uphold justice for him!"
The woman with short hair only had a strong aura. She was also a middle-aged, beautiful, strong and capable woman, but this
kind of ability and charm were different from Lena. Lena was a little arrogant and domineering, while the woman with short hair
was a little reserved. Just a glance of her made everyone in the ward quiet, just like a queen.
She held the fat woman in her arms and comforted her in a low voice, "Aunt, don't worry. I'll handle it well. I won't let Anthony
suffer any injustice!"
"You must deal with them. You must deal with them. You can't let them live well. My poor son hasn't come out of the emergency
room yet..." The fat woman complained in a low voice.
After comforting her for a while, the short haired woman let go of the fat woman and let her wipe her tears quietly. Then she
asked Nicole, "Are you Layton's family?"
Nicole felt something was wrong, but she still nodded.
"Who is he to you?"
"He is my brother." Nicole admitted frankly.
The short haired woman looked at the police behind her. The police behind her took a step forward, showed their IDs, and
seriously said to Nicole, "Your brother is suspected of intentional injury. He is seriously ill in bed, so please follow us to the police
station!"
At that moment, Nicole felt shocked as if a bolt was falling from the blue, which made her head numb. Besides, the police outside
came in and took the students including Justin away.
Although Justin and others were afraid, they didn't dare to do anything to the police. They bowed their heads and followed them
obediently.
The cowardly Howard finally came out and asked, "Police, what's going on? Is there any misunderstanding?"
The police said seriously, "We received the victim's family to report the case. Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, the family
members will follow us to the police station to make a record and investigate it clearly!"
Howard hesitated and dared not speak. He looked at Nicole worriedly. Lena still stood by the window indifferently, crossing her
arms and sneering.
Nicole was a family member, so the police didn't make things difficult for her, but she couldn't refuse this order. She stood there
silently for a while, looked back at the unconscious Layton, and finally followed the police to the police station. Nicole had to
figure out what was going on and what kind of mistake Layton had done that she could find ways to save him!
On the way to the police station, Nicole followed these students in a police car. The students sat in the middle of the crowd of the
police, lowering their heads in silence. The crying student cried even more, but he didn't dare to cry loudly. He just sobbed
slightly. Justin also lowered his head. He was usually fearless, but now he seemed to have really thought and regretted only
once in the face of such a big thing.
Looking at these students, Nicole felt sorry for them. They were just seventeen or eighteen years old children. Their future would
be ruined if they were involved in such a big matter. It would be fine if they were still under age. The criminal law protected them,
but if they just reached 18 years old, they would really be hopeless.
Nicole didn't dare to comfort them, especially Justin. Without Justin, her brother Layton might not have been involved in such a
big trouble. Nicole had no choice but to try her best to hold on. She hoped that when they arrived at the police station, this matter
would be more beneficial to Layton. She hoped that Layton was not the main criminal!
However, her life was just like this. While Nicole had already taken a heavy blow, life continued to add insult to injury to her.
They went to the police station to make a record for a long time, at least 3 hours. During this period, the parents of the students
were informed, but they could only sit outside and wait, unable to participate.
Facing the serious expression and sharp eyes of the police, and in the long time of serious atmosphere, the students finally
trembled. Some of them were about to be crazy, and the crying student even fainted with hypoglycemia.
The record was interrupted two times, and finally ended in 3 hours. After signing on the statement, Nicole walked out of the
police station difficultly.
Those students, Justin and two seriously involved students were directly detained, and the other two were released, shaking
their legs and following their parents away.
When the crying student saw the disappointment on Nicole's face, he walked downstairs absentmindedly. Suddenly, he left the
parent's circle and ran over to Nicole. "Nicole..."
Nicole looked at the thin boy who was crying. She just knew his name was Clarence Liu. His name sounded female and his
character was a little weak. But after meeting with him for a while, she felt that this student was sincere and kind-hearted. She
didn't know why he was with others like Justin.
Nicole looked at Clarence with empty eyes and didn't say anything.
Suddenly, Clarence choked with sobs and said, "Nicole, I'm sorry for you. I'm so sorry for Layton. I'm so sorry!"
Nicole was confused, but considering the kindness of the student, she didn't think too much and smiled bitterly, "Why did you feel
sorry for us?"
Clarence lowered his head and cried silently.
Nicole shook her head and was about to leave. Clarence said loudly again, "Anyway, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry for
Layton.... Don't blame me..." Clarence said the last word in a low voice, aggrieved, as if he had some difficulties.
Nicole raised her hand and patted the crying young boy. Enduring the pain, Nicole comforted him and said, "You didn't do
anything wrong to me or Layton. It's all Layton's fate. Layton made his own mistake and didn't need others to apologize. And in
the future you... Learn his lesson and don't take this path!"
Clarence nodded.
Nicole patted Clarence on the shoulder and said, "Good boy!" Then Nicole left.
Clarence looked at Nicole's back and whispered, "Nicole, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for Layton. I'm sorry for you!" Clarence looked back
at the police station and murmured, "I have no choice. Don't blame me. You and Layton don't blame me..."
Nicole walked to the roadside and took a taxi. She got into the car and left this sad place, continuing to go to the hospital where
Layton was.
Nicole really didn't know how to deal with the three hours' notes in the police station. The 5 students told Nicole that they had
had several conflicts with Anthony from the high school next school, and that they had also been punished by the school. But last
week, Anthony seized the girl that Layton fell in love with. In a fit of anger, Layton urged Justin and others to ask Anthony out for
a negotiation, which was under the North River Bridge near the school.
It was because of the self-study last night that Layton, Justin, and others skipped classes together. Anthony and the others went
out after several hours of self-study because they met their head teacher and were strictly punished. Because of this, Layton was
very dissatisfied with their being late. As soon as they met, they began to quarrel and almost hit each other.
Later, the two groups finally controlled their temper and came to negotiate. However, they couldn't reach an agreement on the
site ownership, girlfriend and other issues, so they began to fight. New and old grudges and complaints about each other's late
for appointment and other emotions broke out together, and the fight was extremely fierce.
They had a fight at about 1 o'clock in the morning. There was no pedestrian under the bridge or around the river, so no one
called the police even if they made a loud noise.
Some of them used knives and stones, so some people bled.
Later, when Layton chased the seriously injured Anthony to the HB Road and had a car accident on the road, someone then
called the police and exposed this big case.
The policeman asked, "Who hit first?"
The five students were silent for a while, and finally said one after another, "It's Layton."
The policeman asked again, "Who is the chief criminal who hit Anthony badly?"
The five students continued one after another, "It's Layton. Layton is the most emotional one. He punched and kicked the most...
"
At that time, Nicole's heart was entangled tightly, just like her hands, which were tightened tightly and could not be opened even
if they were painful.
And this was not the only reason why it was more serious. The one they hit was Anthony Wang, the son of the rich businessman
in the A City, Tad Wang. It was not a big deal to say that he was a rich businessman. There were many rich businessmen
everywhere in the A City, but the wife of this rich businessman, who was also the fat woman in the hospital who had no reason to
beat people, was the sister of the director of the police department, Director Hu.
The tall and short haired woman who brought the police to the hospital with the fat woman today was the wife of Director Hu, the
sister-in-law of the fat woman. The relationship between the two women was not simple. It was known in the upper class circle
that these two women were very good friends before their marriage. Director Hu had a wife before, but his original wife died
early. The fat woman introduced her good friend to her brother, so her good friend became her sister-in-law. Therefore, although
the short haired woman was the sister-in-law of the fat woman, she was younger than the fat woman.
Since the two families were so close, it was impossible for Director Hu not to uphold justice for his seriously injured nephew!
Thinking of this, Nicole's mood was depressed again.
'Layton, Layton, I have protected you for so many years. I have been very careful to suffer by myself and don't let you hurt easily.
But why did you still destroy yourself? You know how hard I have been for you these years!'
Nicole questioned in her heart and burst into tears.
It was very late when Nicole arrived at the hospital, but Lena and Howard were still there. She was wondering why these two
people were so kind-hearted and were guarding Layton, she heard the two people discussing inside.
"If Layton is sentenced, as a parent, we needs to pay compensation. The victim has a powerful background. This is not a small
sum of money!" Howard shook his head and sighed.
"It's none of your business. You should not responsible for Layton. It should be Nicole, right?" Lena asked.
"I'm Layton's father. I'm his first guardian!"
Lena sneered, "You have divorced your ex-wife. The child was sentenced to your ex-wife. Besides, you and your son have been
separated for many years. Only Nicole is the first guardian of Layton."
"If that's the case, I don't have the right to use Layton's kidney to treat Primrose."
"No way! Why do we come here today? I have called for help so many times and begged many people for help. Do you really
think I am so kind? It's all for our daughter, Primrose!"
