“Yes, I understand!” answered the lawyer.

Right at that moment, Amelia reached the police station in a frantic. As soon as she caught sight of her son, she sprinted ahead and checked on the boy carefully.

Even though her mother told her that Aiden only suffered nothing but some scrapes, when Amelia looked at the boy’s battered and wounded face, her eyes turned all misty and teary.

“Does it hurt?” she asked, seeming sad.

Aiden shook his head. “Nope.” Yet, upon parting his lips and speaking, he pulled the sore muscle in his face, hence baring his pearly whites and gnashing them in pain.

Matilda, too, beat herself up again. “It’s all my fault. Had I learned that he had been in there for too long and summoned someone in sooner, Aiden wouldn’t have been hurt like this.”

“It’s not Granny’s fault. I… I’m just not strong enough.” Aiden blamed himself for not being strong enough to get the better of those people. Were he stronger than them, he would not have gotten hurt, nor would his mother and grandmother have to be put through the heartbreaking episode.

Considering that Warren specially hired a lawyer, she naturally knew his intention. She might not wish to have anything to do with Warren, but
