Dylan thought it was a miracle that there wasn’t an accident.
“I didn’t even notice you were hurt…”
Dylan felt a sense of self-reproach, feeling like he wasn’t a good husband.
Lola put her index finger to his lips.
“It’s not Dylan’s fault. I should be more careful.”
“You idiot.” Dylan pinched her cheek lightly and said firmly.
“I can never forgive the person who did this to you. I’ve already reported it to the police. And don’t you ever settle? If someone commits a crime, they have to be punished.”
“I’ll listen to you.” When Lola readily agreed, Dylan finally smiled comfortably and whispered softly.
“Let’s go to sleep.”
*****
The police had called several times. At first, she answered the phone without realizing it was from the police station, but when the person on the other end identified himself as a police officer, Amaya was shocked.
What did the police say?
“This is LBD Constabulary. Are you Amaya Declan? A complaint has been filed for assault, so you need to come to the police station. Is 2 PM the day after tomorrow available for your schedule…?”
The detective’s words weren’t even finished when Amaya hung up the phone first because she was very flustered.
After that, the police called several times. They were persistent and tenacious like ants.
Every time her cell phone rang, Amaya’s heart pounded.
Judging by the fact that she hadn’t shown her face in the hospital room for several days, Lola seemed to be quite badly injured.
‘So she sued me to the police?’ Amaya’s lips twisted.
“I should have just killed her,” Anyway, she was told to appear at the police station.
Amaya was scared and annoyed just thinking about it, and she started to wander around, not knowing how to respond.
She called Nia with the cell phone in her hand.
Since Nia made her do this damn thing, she should take responsibility. She thought she had done nothing wrong because she had followed her request. But Nia didn’t answer the phone, as if she was mocking Amaya.
“F*****g bitch!”
She repeated the curse several times, but only the mechanical sound of “The customer you are trying to reach is currently unavailable” kept coming from the receiver.
Angry, Amaya paced back and forth in the hospital room.
Then she stopped abruptly, bit her nails, and pondered before dialing someone’s number.
Given the situation, she had no choice but to get help from her parents. But she wasn’t sure if her parents would help her in her predicament.
After a few rings, a stiff voice full of annoyance flowed out of the speaker.
-What’s wrong?
“Father, I’ve caused some trouble. Please help me.”
Amaya cut to the chase and asked for help.
But,
-Are you out of your mind? How old are you now, and you’re still causing trouble?
Her father spoke as if he was bursting with anger without even asking about the details. Amaya’s face instantly contorted.
But unlike that expression, her voice was very subdued.
“I, I’m sorry.”
-I told you so many times to live quietly. You didn’t listen to me. Tsk…
The sound of clicking his tongue continued for a long time.
“I hit someone. The police called and told me to appear the day after tomorrow. A lawyer…”
-You can’t teach an old dog new tricks! Tsk tsk.
Judging by the fact that he cut off her words and only scolded her without even asking about the details of the situation, it seemed that he had no intention of helping her at all.
As expected,
-You’re not a child anymore. You have to take responsibility for your actions. If you’ve done something wrong, you have to be punished. Don’t call me again with such trivial matters.
Her father coldly hung up the phone.
They were parents who valued face and honor and pretended to be noble on the outside. So, they didn’t tolerate any behavior that would tarnish their reputation.
‘They don’t want to help me.’
They don’t like it.
Amaya stared at the cell phone making a beeping sound and despaired, raged, and couldn’t help but feel resentful.
Amaya didn’t want to go to the police station alone. She didn’t know why, but she had a creepy feeling that if she went in there, she wouldn’t be able to get out again.
Amaya bit her lip until it bled, then tried to call Nia again, but she still couldn’t connect.
“Nia, you rotten bitch!”
Amaya cursed Nia for a long time before calling someone else.
As soon as the signal was connected, the other person on the other end asked in a harsh tone.
-What?
“I need your help.”
-Did I hear you wrong? Why do you need my help? We’re about to get divorced.
The love between the two wasn’t deep, but they had lived together for two years.
Did he want to get divorced that badly?
Amaya smiled bitterly at her husband, who was impatient to get divorced.
“You want to divorce me, right?”
-But you won’t let me.
“I’ll do it.”
-…….
“But I have a favor to ask.”
The alimony she could get if she divorced her husband was only 1 million pound. And Amaya, who knew that she wouldn’t inherit a penny of her parents’ property and was in a desperate situation, had no other choice.
She didn’t want to be arrested if possible, so she had to put out the immediate fire first.
