Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 397

Both husband and wife hurried out of the house and rushed to the police station. Soon enough, they found Rina there. Julia immediately wrapped her arms around Rina. “You scared me so badly, Rina! Do you have any idea how worried I was when I heard that you had been arrested by the police?” Julia cried. The older woman wailed as she pounded her fists against Rina’s back.

Rina could sense that Julia was genuinely concerned and worried for her, so she raised her arms and pulled Julia into a hug. “I’m sorry, Mommy,” she uttered with a guilty tone. Is this what it feels like to have a mother’s unconditional love? I’ve finally had a chance to feel it! It feels wonderful and heart-warming—I love this feeling! No one can blame me for wanting to be Rina so badly.

Although Titus wasn’t as expressive as his wife, his love for his daughter was written all over his face as he looked at Rina. “Are you injured?”

Rina knew what he was wondering. He was wondering if Sonia had also hurt her when she attempted to attack Sonia. “No,” Rina uttered as she shook her head.

“That’s great.” Titus heaved a sigh of relief, but his expression quickly turned stern once more. “Tell us what’s going on. Why did you suddenly attack Sonia?

Didn’t you witness how things turned out for your sister? Why would you still provoke her?” Titus had no immediate plans of going against Sonia himself. Since the Gray Family and Triforce Enterprise had only stabilized a while ago, he was afraid to get on Sonia’s bad side during such a time. However, what he didn’t expect was for Rina to provoke Sonia. Rina clearly wasn’t thinking straight. It’s fine if she wants to attack Sonia, but I can’t believe she lost to Sonia and got herself captured!

“I’m sorry, Dad. I didn’t plan on doing this. I just thought that Mom seemed really sad over Tina’s recent incident. I just wanted to do something for my mother and sister.” Rina’s voice grew softer with every word she spoke.

Julia froze. “So, Rina... You did this for me...

“Yeah,” Rina said softly. Julia gave her daughter another firm hug as she was too touched. “Rina...”

“Alright, alright. Stop crying!” Titus shouted for Julia to keep quiet as his head was spinning because of Julia’s loud wails. Julia sniffed a few times and stopped crying.

“I know you did it for your mother’s sake, but your actions were too rash,” Titus uttered as he shifted his focus back to Rina. “I know. I’m sorry, Dad.” Rina’s eyes glinted as she apologized to him.

Titus sighed. “Forget it. What’s done is done, so there’s no point talking about all of this now. Just tell me how severe Sonia’s injuries are. I’ll find a way to get you out of this.”

“Miss Reed wasn’t badly injured. She only hurt her head,” Rina replied. She knew that her parents would save her, so she didn’t appear flustered even after she admitted to attacking Sonia. She knew that she was safe because she was the only child in the Gray Family.

In the case where Miss Reed and Mr. Coleman decide to expose my identity as the fake Rina... Rina smirked as she thought about the secret weapon she had.

“It doesn’t sound that serious if it’s just a head injury. I don’t think it’s enough to call it a criminal case. Even if there were a punishment, it’d probably be administrative detention for a few days.” Titus narrowed his eyes as he analyzed the situation.

Rina’s eyes lit up immediately. “Are you saying that I won’t go to jail, Dad?” she asked.

“Of course. Your father just said that it’s not enough to form a criminal case. That means that you won’t go to jail.” Julia didn’t want to see her other daughter in jail.

Rina clasped her palms together in excitement. That’s great! I knew that Mom and Dad would get me out of here, but I didn’t know that I wouldn’t have to go to jail at all!

“You two can talk for a while more. I’ll go ask the police officers about the bail,” Titus said to Julia.

“Go on.” Julia nodded. Titus turned and left the interrogation room, and he returned about ten minutes later. He wore a rather uneasy look on his face as he walked in. The uneasiness spread to both Julia and Rina once they saw his face. “What is it, honey? Can we bail her out?” Julia asked Titus worriedly. Rina stared at him as well.
