Forced Marriage: Escaping Her Monster

Chapter 227 - Accepting Help And Shocking News

"Scar!" Emma opened her mouth wide then covered it with her hand pretending that she is shocked. "How can you say this? No matter what, it was Jerlina who suffered a lot that day. Everyone is saying so and..."

Scarlett wasn\'t even willing to listen to that.

Yes, she was a little angry at Jerlina and thought that she didn\'t do enough to protect Cia. But that doesn\'t mean she is going to blame Jerlina for what happened with Cia.

Viper did that!

If she didn\'t provoke Viper by kicking him in the balls, he probably wouldn\'t have left with Cia. Even then, Viper\'s a psycho and he will do what he does with or without reason. And as Bobby\'s wife, she knew she is constantly in danger.

Yes, she knew all that but is she not allowed to talk bad about her friend freely without getting the attention of this snake?

Can\'t a girl get emotional around here and say stupid stuff anymore?

This snake even used this chance to pinch my baby and thinks she can manipulate me into believing Jerlina caused all the troubles?

And... it was weird that Charlie wasn\'t by Jerlina\'s side that day. He went to meet Foxy because she was crying? There should be something more to that.

And Bobby... Did he even slip and fall? Or is there more to it?

Successfully separating Charlie and Bobby and Jeremy from Jerlina, bringing her to the police station, Viper getting me before going to the police station...

Everything needs to be investigated.

And this one... I won\'t believe for a moment she is not involved in any of that.

At least... she conspired with Foxy to bring Charlie away..?

The one who shot Jerry was Foxy\'s cousin...

So many coincidences and they all should be investigated if they are really coincidences.

And...

She pinched my baby... I will surely get back at her for that!

NO ONE HURTS MY BABY AND LIVES PEACEFULLY!!

I\'ll ask my Bobby to handle Viper once he gets better. And this one... heh! I want to destroy her!

"Do you believe Jerlina was the one who suffered a lot that day, Emma?" Scarlett continued with her act. She rocked baby Cia in her arms.

With how desperate Emma seemed, she knew it won\'t be hard to get back in that gang. Once she got back in the gang, she can investigate further.

And Tara... Where is she?

"Yeah that... I am... " Emma continued with her pitiful act.

Scarlett gritted her teeth, enduring Emma\'s unbearable acting.

"Maybe we can talk more, Scar! What do you say?"Emma asked as she left.

"I\'ll...As you see my baby is traumatized and I can\'t leave her alone. And I have to take care of Bobby too," Scarlett acted pitifully.

"But you need to take care of yourself better too, Scar. How about we go to a spa or something? Just one day... We all deserve it!" Emma pleaded.

"I\'ll see..." Scarlett sent her off.

After Emma left, Scarlett sat beside Bobby and held his hand.

"Get better soon, Bobby... A lot of people wronged our daughter and me. Fight for us..." she kissed his hand.

As she was staring at Bobby, there was a knock at the door and Scarlett turned to see Daisy and her mom coming in.

"I\'ve brought you lunch," Daisy whispered noticing Cia sleeping.

"You can\'t be alone here like this. Go take a shower. I brought you fresh clothes. Did you even take a shower today?" Scar\'s mom pushed her into the bathroom.

"But mom, Cia..."

"I raised four kids and Hope\'s children stay with me all the time. I can look after your baby too," Scar\'s mom\'s voice was stern.

"Mom, but..."

Scarlett still wasn\'t willing to leave but her mom glared at her.

Although she was a mom, Scar got scared by her mom\'s glare. It was nostalgic and she felt like she couldn\'t say no to her mom although she is not living with her anymore.

Mom is scary!

"Scar! I am not leaving you alone here, alright? With your history and the..." her mom\'s eyes ended up on the morphine drip and Scarlett took in a deep breath.

She\'s got a point... but...

"Mom, by any chance, did Charlie call you?" Scarlett asked.

"I was already getting ready to come here in the evening and I received his call. So... I am here earlier," Scarlett\'s mom shrugged.

"And, with a baby, it is not good for you to stay in the hospital, Scar. Sleep in your home tonight with Cia at night. Hope is there. I can take care of Robert," Daisy stressed. "You look terrible. You need rest. Cia needs rest and proper food...And if you need someone to talk to, Dr. Kruger said she can help..."

Daisy carried on with her advice.

"Thank you, mom... Thank you, Daisy," Scarlett hugged them both.

Tears formed in her eyes and she decided to accept their help. For now, she couldn\'t trust herself.

It is better safe than to be sorry.

Daisy is a nurse and Bobby\'s mother. No one can take better care of him than Daisy. And I need to keep Cia in a relaxed atmosphere than in a hospital. And my sister can take care of Cia in case I need to visit Bobby too.

And I need to investigate Emma.

This would be better. I should thank Charlie.

Emma returned to Gerard\'s room with a smile. She was a little sad that Jerlina didn\'t die even after a gang came after her.

Little? No, I almost got depressed.

Ah, Shit! I forgot to ask about Jerry! But screw him! He deserves that for taking her side, pushing me aside!

Karma is real, isn\'t it? He slapped me for that b*tch and now... he got shot!

I have to maintain my sad appearance for longer in case he... you know what...

They won\'t give everything to the wife, right? Does he have a will?

I hope he has a will. Because if there is a will, he wouldn\'t have forgotten to give me something. I hope I get his bank balance.

It would be in the millions! I can become a multi-millionaire in a day!

Whoo-hoo! It would be like winning the lottery!

She entered the room and she was stunned to see a bunch of doctors leaving.

"Have you had enough?"Gerard\'s mom came to her gritting her teeth. "What more will-"

"Mom!!" Gerard shouted. But it seemed like his chest hurt and he held it.

Emma ran to him and rubbed his back.

"Gerry..." His mom waked to him but Gerard glared at her. "Leave!!!" he shouted once more and his mom left with tears in her eyes.

"I\'ll leave... don\'t hurt yourself..."

"Gerry..." Emma sat beside him with her eyes clouded. "What\'s wrong?"

She knew they were consulting a Urologist today. It must be him who left now.

"Maybe we should divorce, Emma," he said bowing his head. He started shaking and Emma held him.

"No, why? Gerry, don\'t scare me..."

"I... I have gone infertile, Emma... I no longer can sire children... You shouldn\'t be suffering with me..." Gerard looked at Emma.

What??

Because Jerry stomped on him my husband became infertile?

How can this happen to me?

Emma panicked.

What will I tell my father?
