Chapter 1257
I leaned towards him and buried my head in his arms.
Well, I didn’t ask him, and I didn’t tell him these things either. Talking too much also creates anxiety for him.
The next day, when I woke up, Reynaldo had already left. I picked up the phone at the head of the bed and habitually scrolled through today’s news. Because of Matthew’s manipulation behind the scenes, the assassination of Kimberly by Johnathan has now become common knowledge, and everyone is closely watching this case. As soon as I opened the webpage, almost all I saw was reports on this matter.
Netizens were all calling for the quick trial of this case, and Johnathan, the attempted murderer, must be sentenced heavily. Even the Dunlap family had people who, in order to gain a reputation for “sacrificing family for justice,” specifically left comments below the news claiming to be members of the Dunlap family, deliberately smearing Johnathan, and then deliberately demanding a harsh sentence for Johnathan in a self-righteous tone. The more I read those comments, the angrier I got. Gracic saw these news and didn’t know what to make of it.
I got up, washed up quickly, and went straight to Gracie’s to see Vonnie. Chapter 1252
When I was there, Gracie was upstairs taking care of Vonnie. Occasionally, her angry and sorrowful curses could be heard coming from the room. She complained to Vonnie about the cruelty of the Dunlap family and cursed the unfairness of fate. In the end, she was crying sadly while holding Vonnie’s hand. She begged Vonnie over and over again to wake up, saying she couldn’t hold on by herself anymore. I don’t know how Gracie got through that day and night, all I know is that her eyes were red and swollen.
In order to console her, I recounted to her the events of yesterday when I went to the jail with Reynaldo to see Johnathan. Gracie’s emotions had finally stabilized a bit. Gracie asked me if I had found a way to save Johnathan. Regarding Gracie’s question, I didn’t know how to answer, so I could only tell her, “Reynaldo is dealing with this matter, and once there is any news, I will inform her immediately.” Gracie didn’t ask much, just said “thank you” to Reynaldo, but in her weary eyes, there was nothing but worry and anxiety. Worried about Gracie’s emotional and physical well-being, I stayed here specifically to keep her company and chat with her all afternoon. I didn’t go back until evening.
As soon as I got home and stepped out of the car, Essie ran over and immediately threw herself into my arms. Chapter 125!
“Mummy, mummy, someone gave me and Roddy a present.”
I was taken aback, “Gifts for you guys? Who?”
Essie shook her head and eagerly pulled me into the house. As soon as I entered the house, I saw the living room filled with gifts of all sizes. From small crystal balls and model cars to large Transformers and dolls as tall as a person. Roddy stood to the side, frowning, holding a small card in his hand. Madisyn came up to me and said, “These were all delivered an hour ago. They said they were for Mr. Roderick and Miss Estelle.”
“I thought you were a friend of Mr. Humphrey’s,”
If Johnathan and Vonnie hadn’t had an accident, it could have been their gift. Now both Vonnie and Johnathan have had accidents, who else in Freybourne will specifically give gifts to my children? Suddenly, I thought of “Matthew” whom I had seen yesterday.
I walked up to Roddy and said, “Is this card inside the gift?”
