âStop hitting me! It hurts! Stop!â
Eudora heard this and mocked him, âSo now you know that it hurts? Then, why werenât you worried about them feeling the pain when you beat them just now? Theyâre your wife and child. How could you do that?â
Ralph no longer dared to speak anymore!
In the end, Eudora ordered Clint, âBring him to the police station and report this as domestic violence!â
Clint turned around and left.
Eudora turned her head to look at Katie and her mother, âQuick, get up!â
Her mother could not get up at all. Eudora looked closely and noticed that her ribs were injured. That was why she had been lying on the bed all this time.
Come to think of it, Ralph must have caused her to become like that!
Fury rose within her. Eudora said coldly, âI should have whipped him a few more times just now!â
Albert also sighed, âWhy didnât you tell us about this? If we had known, we couldâve at least helped you out!â
The mother shook her head, âItâs no use! He threatened to kill Katie if anyone else found out. I want to protect Katie. Itâs okay to be beaten a few more times. Iâm on the verge of death anyways!â
âHow could you think like that? You should sue him and let him go to jail!â
The woman smiled bitterly, âMiss, you donât understand. Itâs not that I havenât done that before. In the end, they just sent someone here to mediate the situation. My parents donât even care about me. They just said it would be shameful to get divorcedâ¦â
Eudora simply could not believe what she was hearing. What era were they living in? She did not expect such outdated thinking to still exist.
As she was thinking, Katie suddenly fell to her knees in front of Eudora.
She pleaded, âMiss, please help my mom! Sheâs in so much pain that she canât even sleep at night.â
Katie looked like she was either eight or nine years old, just slightly older than Juju. However, her hair was frizzy and her clothes had been sewn with patches of cloth.
When she looked at Eudora with her large eyes, they were filled with longing.
How could Eudora resist such a gaze? She quickly reached out to help the child up.
âIâll definitely help you. Pack up your motherâs belongings. Weâll take her to the hospital.â
In the hospital, the doctor was shocked after examining the patient.
âNot only are her ribs broken, she also has many other injuries. Although she has recovered now, there are many long-lasting effects left. Whatâs wrong with the patientâs family? Why didnât they take good care of her?â
Eudoraâs heart ached as she listened, âPlease give her the treatment she needs. Theyâll be more careful in the future!â
Upon coming out of the hospital, Eudoraâs face was pale.
She looked at Clint angrily and said, âCan you find a way to send that man to jail?â
If such a person was released, then Katie and her mother would surely suffer!
Clint looked hesitant, âIâve sent him to the police station, but I think heâll only be detained for two weeks before being released.â
As soon as Katie heard that he would be out in two weeks, she began to tremble as she hugged her mother.
Both the mother and daughter were truly pitiful. Eudora frowned and said, âHow can this be. He has already committed such a crime, but heâll still be pardoned?â
âThereâs nothing we can do. Itâs just how the local law is. We canât do anything about it either!â
Eudora was furious, âThen, he can just beat people up as he likes? I wonât allow that! Get me a lawyer. I want to sue him!â
Clint thought for a moment and said, âWhy donât we ask Mr. Louis for that after we return to Rosaville City? He definitely has more experience in this than we do! Heâll find a way!â
Eudora nodded, âOkay!â
After the inspection, Katieâs mother was hospitalized. Katie herself wanted to stay and take care of her, so Eudora put down their things and left.
As for the medical expenses, Eudora had ordered Clint to take care of them!
Originally, Eudora had thought that things would settle down for the time being. She thought that after returning to Rosaville City, she would find a way to help them.
The next day after returning to the mountains, she received an urgent call from Albert.
âMiss George, something bad has happened! For some reason, that b*stard is out of jail. Heâs causing trouble at the hospital!â
Eudora abruptly stood up, âQuick, letâs go take a look.â
â¦
In the hospital, when Eudora and the others rushed over, they saw Ralph arguing with the doctors and nurses.
âTheyâre my wife and daughter. I want them to leave the hospital as soon as possible. Whatâs the matter? Even the police canât control me! Who do you think you are?â
The doctor tried to explain, âYour wife is in terrible condition. She needs to be hospitalized. For her sake, please let her receive treatment!â
âWhoâs going to pay for the medical bills?â
âThe medical expenses have been paid!â The doctor said.
Upon hearing this, Ralph started to shout again.
âHow much did she pay? I donât care. I just want her to be discharged and have the money refunded to me! Why does a b*tch like her deserve to stay in the hospital?â
Saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed the doctorâs hand.
âAre you going to discharge her or not? If not, Iâll beat you up!â
âStop!â Eudora frowned. âItâs you again.â
Last time, Ralph had been drunk, so he could not recognize Eudora. When he heard her talk, he became arrogant yet again.
He yelled, âWho are you? Mind your own business!â
Before he even finished speaking, Sawyer had already swung his fist at him.
Ralph finally recalled everything after being hit. He shouted, âItâs you! You were the one who hit me that time! Iâm going to sue you!â
âSure,â Sawyer said coldly.
âDo whatever you want. However, before that, I will teach you how to be a decent human being!â
Ralph quickly shielded his head, âThis is a hospital, not the village. If you dare to hit me, Iâll make sure that you pay for it!â
With a cold snort, Sawyer punched him again.
Ralph was angry, âHow dare you hit me?â
âWhy wouldnât I? Judging by how you treat your wife and child, you deserve to be beaten!â
âThatâs none of your business. Didnât you send me to the police station? They canât do anything about my own private family matters. I got released! Stay out of my family matters, you a*sholes!â
After that, when he saw that Eudora and the others remained silent, he immediately became arrogant again.
He continued, âWell, do you understand now? Iâve told you that you canât do anything to me. Youâd better give up! To tell you the truth, my cousin is a police officer. Why bother getting me into trouble when I can get out just as easily?â
âIs that so?â
Suddenly, someone from behind opened his mouth. As soon as Eudora turned around, she saw Harley coming in from outside.
âDirector Clarke, this sounds more serious than domestic violence, isnât it? This guy still doesnât realize his mistakes. I think thereâs no need for mediation anymore!â
The director of the police station, James Clarkeâs expression looked terrible, âYouâve crossed the line! Itâs fortunate that Officer Louis has brought me here. Otherwise, I would have been deceived by this person! Officers, take him back!â
The policemen swarmed around Ralph and held him down.
Ralph refused to believe his predicament and kept shouting, âMy cousin works in the police station. Heâll save me!â
Director Clarke snorted coldly, âHis crimes consist of abuse of power and hurting the publicâs interests. He canât even protect himself now!â
