Michelle was furious when she entered the room. She might have lost her temper as she made the phone call. However, her eyes turned red when she laid eyes on her son.
"My baby! Oh, how much you've suffered!" She burst into tears and hugged him, distressed.
After knowing that the iron chains were to protect Austin and not harm him, she dared not touch them anymore. Instead, she hugged him over the chain. "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? I'll make some food for you. Is it cold? I've called someone…"
"If you're so worried, bring him home with you." Dominic was already uncomfortable and became even more annoyed when he heard her continuous rambling.
Michelle immediately kept quiet.
With a nonchalant smile on Daniel's face, he turned to look at Elijah. "How is it?"
"We've called the police! The police initially wanted Austin to make a statement, but I've already explained his current situation, so they've pushed back the statement collection. As for the Moore family, I've already sent someone to watch them. I'll drop by personally later on." Although Elijah rarely worked on the weekends, today was an exception.
After such a big incident happened to his son, he could no longer sit back and relax.
Back in the day, the Fike family's presence in Operose was founded on their family businesses. Although things had fizzled out, they still had quite a name for themselves. On top of that, because they had a miracle doctor within their family, the Fikes still had their reputation among traditional medicine practitioners, helping to raise their prestige status.
Although businesses had been reclining for the past two years, they were still profiting. Elijah had no dreams of taking the family business to a higher level. He just couldn't let people bully his family.
"I see." Daniel nodded. Dominic seemed to have no comment on this.
He never liked to be a part of these dogfights. Although he had dealt with all kinds of elite officials and dignitaries during his practice, he had never been a part of it. He was disgusted with the intrigues that went on inside.
