Chapter 3077 Defensive
His expression was colder than ice and he stood with an impressively intimidating aura. The young woman on the floor was completely defeated. In the end, she couldn’t compete against Jessica.
She clenched her fists tightly with her dissatisfaction written all over her face. I’m not going to apologize to Jessica! I’d die before ever saying sorry to that woman.
“Apologize!” Nancy called out loudly.
“No! I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I apologize? It was all defending myself against all of you.” The young woman was starting to look a little frenzied.
Joan stared at her curiously. She had seen this young lady plenty of times before, but she had really changed since the last time Joan saw her. Could she be sick? Joan wondered.
The young lady’s gaze darkened slowly and Joan suddenly said, “Is there something you want to say but can’t tell us?”
The atmosphere suddenly became stale.
What’s up with Joan? Why is she speaking up for this girl? Nancy thought to herself. She looked at Joan curiously.
Larry and Dustin stared at her with deep frowns. No one wanted to take this young woman’s side at a time like this.
The woman on the hospital bed was taken aback as well, but she felt no anger toward Joan’s words. She knew Joan wasn’t the type to speak or act before thinking.
“Did you notice something?” Jessica asked Joan in a low voice.
“Take it easy. I’ll ask some more questions first,” Joan whispered back as she patted Jessica’s shoulder.
The young lady continued sobbing with her head down, looking as if she was incredibly troubled.
“Caspian, I’m sick. All I want is to give birth to my first child before I completely lose the ability to take care of him. I just wanted to be able to give my kid a good father that can raise him properly,” she said in a low voice.
At that moment, everyone froze. So she was sick, but with what?
Joan helped her stand up and walk toward the sofa. “Calm down. Can you tell us what you’re sick with?”
“The doctor said I have a psychological disorder that will take a long time to properly treat. More importantly, this disorder is very likely to worsen over time. That’s why I’m worried for my baby,” the young lady replied emotionally as she clutched Joan’s small hands.
That made things clear for everyone in the room. Caspian was staring at the girl who was explaining herself, completely torn over what to say.
“That doesn’t mean you should have hurt Jessica. Think about it: hurting Jessica means hurting yourself. If anything serious actually happened to her, you would have become a real criminal. What would happen to your kid then? Have you ever thought about that? Do you want your child growing up with the knowledge that his mother was a murderer?” Joan said.
The young woman had thought about that a long time ago.
She had already decided on disappearing the moment she handed the kid over to Caspian, and that she would never let her kid know that their mother had psychological issues.
Jessica slowly started to look more and more sorrowful as time went on.
She hated the young woman for killing her baby and that she stole away the man she loved.
However, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for the young lady who was willing to leave everything behind for her child’s sake. In the end, that was the true meaning behind being a mother: giving everything up for your kid.
Now that the cat was out of the bag, the young lady was sent to the psychiatric ward.
“Larry. Joan. I want to ask you about something,” Caspian said in a low voice.
It has to be about that kid. Joan looked up and at Caspian seriously.
“I want to bring that kid to live with me,” Caspian continued.
