”Gathering?” Elaine asked, “That damn Jacob is still in the mood to go for a gathering? Whom did he go out to meet up with?”
Charlie replied, “He went to meet up with some of his old classmates. I am not too sure about all the details. Should I give him a call now?”
Elaine replied angrily, “I want you to come and pick me up first! I am injured and I need to go to the hospital now!”
Charlie asked, “Mom, why are you injured? Are you alright?”
Elaine said angrily, “My leg is broken! Why are you talking so much nonsense now? Hurry up and get here now!”
Charlie replied, “Okay then, I will go over there right now.”
After he hung up the phone, Charlie stepped out of the house and got a cab as he headed straight to Aurous Hill Detention Center.
On his way to the detention center, he called Claire and told her, “Wife, mom just called me. I am going to pick her up now.”
When Claire heard Charlie’s words, she blurted out excitedly, “Really? Did mom really call you? Where is she now? Is she okay?”
Charlie replied, “Mom told me that she is at the Aurous Hill Detention Center. I asked her for the reason and she told me that she was deceived by some MLM organization and she was involved in a pyramid scheme. The police arrested her two days ago and kept her locked up in the detention center. She is finally released today after she is freed from all suspicions.”
At this time, Claire suddenly came to a sudden realization!
She had already suspected that her mother was cheated by some pyramid scheme or MLM organization. However, she really did not expect her mother to be arrested by the police!
It seemed as though she really had to talk to her mother and ask her not to trust anyone outside who promises her that she would be able to get rich overnight in the future!
As she thought about this, Claire hurriedly said, “Then I will also go over there now. I will meet you at the detention center!”
Charlie hurriedly replied, “My dear wife, you don’t have to come all the way here. When I was on the phone with mom, she told me that she was injured. I will bring her to the hospital after I pick her up. You can meet us directly at the hospital then!”
Claire asked nervously, “What happened? Why is mom injured? Is her injury serious?”
Charlie replied, “Mom told me over the phone that she broke her leg. I do not know whether her injury is serious or not. We will know when we see the doctor later.”
At this time, Claire started crying as she said, “Alright then, you can pick mom up and bring her straight to the emergency department at Sacred Heart Hospital. I will head there right now!”
…
When Charlie arrived at the detention center, he could tell that Elaine had suffered quite a lot.
She had a battered face. Her entire body was wounded and both her front teeth had already fallen out. Besides that, it was obvious that her hair had been ripped apart as some parts of her scalp were already exposed.
Moreover, Elaine has not eaten or drank anything since she had been locked up at the detention center two days ago. Therefore, she looked a little haggard, like she lost quite some weight.
What was even more miserable was the fact that Elaine’s right leg, which was broken at her knee, was hanging at an extremely strange angle. It seemed as though she had been tortured and she must have suffered a lot.
Charlie pretended to ask in surprise, “Mom, what happened to you? How did you get so many injuries?”
“It is none of your business!” Elaine gritted her teeth as she said, “Why don’t you just take me to the hospital right now?”
Charlie shrugged before he said, “Okay, mom. The cab is waiting for us outside. I will bring you to the hospital now.”
At this time, the police officer looked at Elaine before he said coldly, “Elaine! What did I tell you just now? If you are going to keep up this kind of attitude, why don’t you continue staying at the detention center then?”
Elaine was so frightened when she heard the police officer’s words and she blurted out immediately, “Oh, my good son-in-law! It is my fault. Mom should not be yelling at you…”
The police officer stared at Elaine as he gave her a warning: “Don’t forget what I said to you. We are only letting you out temporarily but we will always be keeping an eye on you. Do you understand?”
