Chapter 388: Chapter 388



She didn’t say anything, but she felt very warm inside. At times when she needed someone to comfort her, there was a person who gave her strength by her side.

The corners of her lips turned upwards and she smiled at him.

After more than twenty minutes, the car stopped at the City B prison.

The surroundings were spacious. The fortress-like walls rose from the ground, and the large iron gates were tall, wide and thick.

The last time Dolores Flores had visited, Jessica Lennon had not yet been officially executed and sentenced.

Dolores’ heart pounded uncontrollably as she stood in the doorway. Her mother was incarcerated in here. People who eventually got out of here would have criminal records on their profile.

People with criminal records would be discriminated against by society even after they were released.

Matthew Nelson stood beside her and took her cold hands, “Let’s go inside now.” Dolores nodded and said yes.

Boyce Shawn stood by the security area as he waited for them. Boyce took a few steps outside to greet them as they approached. Then, he led them inside.

They were not blocked from entering because Boyce had already arranged it.

Boyce arranged for Jessica in a separate, unguarded visiting room, so it was very convenient for her to meet Dolores alone.

After passing through the hallway and multiple iron doors, they arrived in the lower room.

Boyce said, “He’s inside.”

Dolores took a deep breath. She had already adjusted her mood as they walked here. She looked at Matthew, “I’m all right now. I want to meet her alone.”

Matthew pressed his lips tightly together and let go of her hand, “I’ll wait for you at the door.”

Dolores said she understood. Then, she walked to the threshold and took a deep breath before pushing the door open.

A compact white fluorescent lamp hung from the ceiling inside the room. The walls of the four-sided room were painted white, and in the center was a rectangular table.

Jessica was sitting behind the table.

She raised her head as soon as she saw Dolores.

Dolores’ heart stopped fiercely at that instant at the sight of Jessica. She was thin and dark, and her face was marked by the signs of age.

Dolores felt that Jessica was still young before. But now that she was seeing Jessica again, she clearly felt that she had already aged.

Jessica smiled, “You came?”.

Dolores walked over and sat in the chair across the table from Jessica. She looked at Jessica’s face, “I missed you.”

Jessica’s tears fell at this phrase.

She lowered her head to wipe the tears away. She also missed Dolores and the two children. She had watched them grow up little by little. They had never been separated.

It was the first time he hadn’t seen them in so long.

“I heard you got sick,” Dolores thought he would not be able to control his emotions when he saw her. However, she was stronger than she expected of herself.

She didn’t howl or cry out loud in front of Jessica.

Jessica wiped the tears from her face, “I’m fine. I know my own body.”

“But you don’t look good. Come have a checkup with me at the hospital.”

“Ah, I’m just fine. I just want to… cough, cough…” A series of coughs interrupted what she was about to say.

Jessica covered her mouth.

Dolores said firmly, “We’re going to the hospital today.”

Every time Jessica coughed, her chest hurt. She took a breath, “I want to see Samuel and Simona before we go to the hospital.”

She knew her own body. Although she had not yet confirmed it at the hospital, she could clearly feel her body weakening day by day.

She knew she could…

If she had to say what she regretted in this life, it would be not being able to see the two children grow to adulthood.

Dolores agreed wholeheartedly, “I’ll let Boyce set it up and I’ll take you to meet them today.”

After speaking, she pushed the chair aside and stood up. Then, she opened the door.

Boyce and Matthew were talking in the hallway.

It seemed to be about the arrest of the deputy mayor. Associated persons had also been arrested.

“Don’t worry. No one can make trouble,” Boyce said.

Matthew was afraid that someone would want revenge. Although he let someone already eliminate all traces of Samuel Flores, that woman went to look for Dolores before she was arrested.

That woman did not know that Samuel was the one who had uploaded the video. However, it happened because of her confrontation with Dolores.

That is why she went to look for Dolores to try to get revenge.

However, Dolores was calm and wanted to call the police. She could only hide first.

She did not expect the police to find her hiding place so quickly.

“Senior officials are cleaning up and fighting violence, corruption and bribery. So, she just happened to get in trouble with this matter. He will not be treated lightly,” Boyce said.

Matthew stood up. The light shone down from above and cast a very long shadow.

They didn’t notice that Dolores had gone out.

She stood in the doorway, “Boyce.”

They both turned their heads at the same time.

She closed the door and approached.

“I want to ask you a favor,” she looked at Boyce.

Boyce said without hesitation, “Go ahead.”

“I want to bring her,” Dolores couldn’t bring the two children to meet Jessica.

And she also had to take Jessica to the hospital for a checkup.

Jessica looked sick. She did not appear to be in good health.

I was worried about Jessica’s health.

Boyce arranged for Dolores to convince Jessica to go to the hospital and see a doctor. So, of course, he also arranged for her to come out as well.

“You can take her out now,” Boyce said.

Dolores said sincerely, “Thank you.”

It was genuinely from the bottom of her heart.

“Don’t mention it, Dolores,” Boyce said, smiling.

This was not based on her relationship with Matthew.

Dolores pulled Jessica out that same day. She called Victoria Forbis at home and asked whether or not the two children were home.

She was afraid they would come home and Victoria would take the children out.

“They are home, do you want to see them?” asked Victoria.

Dolores said, “I’m going to bring my mother home to see them.”

Victoria understood. She knew about Jessica’s affair, “Don’t worry. I’ll fix everything.”

Dolores answered and hung up.

Before long, the car pulled up to the Nelson mansion.

Jessica was familiar with Matthew’s villa, but this was the first time she had come to the Nelson mansion.

She always felt uncomfortable now that she was a criminal. Dolores came over and took her by the arm, “This is your children’s home, so don’t feel repressed.”

Jessica looked at her daughter, then looked at Matthew who was standing next to her. He smiled with teary eyes, “Thank you. Thank you for giving Dolores a home.

Matthew showed no expression. He reached out to push away the lock of hair that covered Dolores’ forehead, “I must thank you for giving me your daughter.”

Dolores looked up at him and smiled.

She liked to contemplate his gentle gaze.

Seeing her daughter’s smiling face, Jessica was relieved. At the same time, she no longer had any worries.

She seemed to have a good relationship with Matthew.

Her wish for the rest of her life was that Dolores would find a good husband and that the two children would grow up healthy.

Just then the doors of the villa opened and Victoria came out, “Come in. I’ve already arranged everything. There are no more people inside the house.”

She sent Jayden Nelson and the servants outside already. The two children were the only ones inside the house now.

Jessica didn’t want to see too many people right now, since…. She didn’t expect Victoria to fix it so well.

“Thank you.”

“Don’t even mention it. We’re a family, so you don’t have to be so polite,” Victoria looked at Jessica. “If anyone had to say thank you, it should be me thanking you for raising such a fine daughter.”
