Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad)
Chapter 1028

According to the news report, Hank had hit his mistress with a sports car. When the ambulance arrived on scene, they saw him choking his son.

After the ambulance crew pulled the boy out of his grasp, Hank immediately passed out. So, the crew brought Hank, his mistress, and the boy to the hospital for treatment. Hank woke up when the police arrived at the hospital. According to them, Hank was laying on the bed, staring into space. When the police and press questioned him, he immediately confessed to committing the crime.

In just one evening, everyone was talking about this on the internet. There were arguments that defended him, saying that Hank was probably not in his right mind because he had gone through bankruptcy. Indeed, he turned his back on his marriage and had a child with his mistress, but the mistress now had taken the last piece of his wealth. When he misunderstood that his son was not his, he lost control of his temper, tried to run over his mistress, and tried to murder the boy.

"Uncle Hank would never do that!"

Fia knew him very well. The man was not someone who would do something so cruel to a child. She had a hunch that this was all plotted by Esme! It was very likely that Esme could not handle the news that her father had a child with a mistress, so she wanted both the mistress and boy dead!

Indeed, the mistress was not free of blame. After all, ruining another's marriage was never a right thing to do. Yet, the baby was innocent! The boy was only two years old, yet he had to witness his mother getting injured and his father trying to kill him!

Fia could not imagine just how much this would scar the poor child!

Putting down the phone, Conrad comforted her. "Fia, let's not get upset over other people's matters, okay? Besides, we don't know the full story."

"She's so cruel!" Fia lamented tearfully. She was so disgusted with Esme's cruelty that she could throw up just thinking about it.

Wiping away her tears, Conrad asked, "How about this? I'll get Silas to investigate this matter."

Sniffling tearfully, Fia said, "I want to meet that boy's mother!"

"Your uncle's mistress?"

"Yes!" Fia said, "She will definitely tell the truth!"

Conrad looked at her speechlessly. She was too naive; things were never as simple as they looked. Humans were a complicated and, occasionally, conflicting species. Sometimes, they would hide the truth for reasons that only they themselves could comprehend.

Still, Conrad could never refuse his wife's plea. So, he brought her to the hospital to visit Louise.

Meanwhile, Louise had just woken up in her private ward. After learning from the police that Hank had tried to choke her son to death, despair clouded her eyes.

The police officer continued on probing. "Do you know the identity of the perpetrator who ran you over?"

However, Louise did not seem keen on answering.

Instead, she tried to pull off the infusion tube on her wrist, insisting on seeing her boy. Seeing this, the police officer and nurse stopped her in a panic.

The nurse felt sorry for Louise. No woman deserved to go through what she had been through. So, she tried to calm her down. "Ms. Lawrence, you can't get off the bed yet. Your organs need healing. Please lie still and rest."

"I... I want to see my baby..."

"Your son is currently under the care of our hospital. Don't worry. We have our best doctors tending to him. He'll be fine."

"I want to see my baby!" Louise yelled agitatedly. She needed to see her son to believe that he was alright.

Giving in, the nurse said, "Okay, you can see him. Please lie down. I'll ask the doctors to bring him over, alright?"

Hearing this, Louise finally calmed down.

After a brief moment of silence, the police officer said, "Ms. Lawrence, we wish to get your statement on this matter. Although Mr. Manning had confessed to being the perpetrator, we still have the obligation to ask for your side of the story."

"What did he confess to?"

"He confessed to running you over with the car and attempting to choke your son to death."

"Heh!" Louise gave a bitter smile as tears streamed down her face. "Did he say why?"

"He said he suspected the boy wasn't his. He also claimed that he's been emotionally unstable lately from going through bankruptcy and had been quarreling with you frequently. This time, he had completely lost control of his temper."

"Hahahaha!" Louise suddenly burst out laughing.

Confused, the police officer asked, "Why are you laughing? Is there something wrong with his confession?"

"I want to see my baby!"

Closing her eyes, Louise insisted on seeing her son. She did not want to answer the police's questions.
