The Second Love

Chapter 285 Looking For Him?

Upon hearing my words, Dominic Hartnell's face darkened and a hint of severity flashed in his eyes. Seeing his reaction, I became nervous, worried about my mother's condition. My father didn't come to the hospital with him, so I wasn't sure if he was with my mother. Thankfully, Dominic Hartnell tightened his grip on my arm and comfortingly patted my back, saying, "Don't worry. Dad has already taken Mom home. I came here specifically to pick you up." Instantly, a huge weight was lifted off my heart. If they had already gone home, everything must be fine. I showed a happy expression and anxiously asked, "Then they won't press charges against my mom, right? My mom didn't hurt anyone, she was just deliberately provoking."Recalling the arrogant and vulgar insults the woman hurled at my mom, I couldn't contain my anger. She kept shouting that my mom should wait for prison, completely disregarding the law. Even if her so-called Madison family is powerful and influential, Dominic Hartnell's family is not inferior. They also have wealth and influence. At the very least, he has a few good brothers, all of whom come from influential families. Before, I was relying solely on determination to resist this woman. But now that Dominic Hartnell is here, I have gained a lot of confidence. Regardless of the Madison family or the Li family, I believe that with Dominic Hartnell's intervention, everything can be resolved. And true to my belief, Dominic Hartnell didn't disappoint me. He calmly continued, "Don't worry, Mom will be fine. I'm here." "Let's go back first. You came to the hospital by yourself, and Mom is extremely worried. I'll take care of the rest." I had no objections to his suggestion. However, the annoying woman refused to give up and started shouting at the top of her lungs. Unfortunately for her, as soon as she raised her voice, Dominic Hartnell silenced her with an icy and intimidating gaze. Looking at Dominic Hartnell's dark and cloudy face, I felt relieved that he was not the type to harm women. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened to her. The woman was frightened into silence by Dominic Hartnell's intimidation, but she switched to sharp and threatening curses and insults. However, to me, the words she said afterwards sounded more like empty threats. Dominic Hartnell didn't even bother to give her a glance before turning around and walking away. To be honest, I couldn't wait to leave either.This woman is nothing but a shrew, with her vulgar language. I'm afraid that if I listen to her foul language, it will affect my unborn children, little Gilbert Hartnells, in my belly. After leaving the hospital, we didn't waste any time and went straight home. On the way, I asked a few more questions about the woman and my mother. Although I trust Dominic Hartnell's abilities, the woman's previous attitude still worries me. I'm concerned that it might cause him trouble. However, seeing Dominic Hartnell calm and confident, I instantly put my worries aside. There shouldn't be any problems. When we arrived home, I saw my mother, father, and Aunt Hao sitting in the living room. The atmosphere felt tense. As soon as they saw Dominic Hartnell and me return, they immediately came over. My mother and Aunt Hao each held one of my hands, with worried expressions, asking if I was okay, if I had been taken advantage of, if my stomach was uncomfortable, and other concerned questions. My mother had been wronged today. As far as I know, this was the first time she had ever been to the police station in her many decades of life. And Aunt Hao had also been worried, running back and forth to deliver messages and such, getting tired. I didn't want the two of them to worry about me anymore. Besides, I didn't have any problems to begin with. I just exchanged a few words with that woman. So I didn't go into detail about what happened at the hospital. I just reassured them and promised them repeatedly that I was fine. Only then did my mother and Aunt Hao gradually calm down. Once they knew I was okay, my mother's attention immediately turned back to today's incident. My mother had a worried expression as she explained the cause and effect of the situation. Every word and line was filled with concern. I understand my mother. She is worried that she might actually be sued, and she is also worried about causing trouble for Dominic Hartnell. After all, when I tried to take her away from the police station earlier, it didn't work. But when Dominic Hartnell went, it was fine. Anyone would feel uneasy about this. Fortunately, she is still willing to believe what Dominic Hartnell said. Hearing him say that he can handle this matter, her worries on the surface have eased a bit, and she appears more composed. However, she later asked Dominic Hartnell to promise that if there were any difficulties, he must not keep it from them and not try to handle it alone. Otherwise, she would have to deal with that woman herself, at most it would be a lawsuit. My mom doesn't believe that there are people who can ignore the law and distort the truth. My dad had the same serious expression as my mom.I could only keep comforting them, telling them not to worry too much. I just wanted to convey one thing, Dominic Hartnell is very capable. And Dominic Hartnell patiently reassured my parents along with me, just wanting to put their minds at ease. Later, Aunt Hao told my parents to listen to our arrangements and not to cause trouble. My parents finally kept quiet. Afterward, Aunt Hao sat for a while and then suggested leaving first. Usually, my parents would definitely have insisted on Aunt Hao staying for dinner and having risotto before leaving. But today, there were indeed too many things going on, and they were all tired and not in the mood to entertain. So Aunt Hao wasn't kept for long, and since her place wasn't far from my parents' house, she didn't want Dominic Hartnell to accompany her and left on her own. After Aunt Hao left, I thought about making a few dishes to eat and let my mom rest, just to calm everyone down. But Dominic Hartnell disagreed, and in the end, he made the risotto. Actually, not only my parents had no appetite, I couldn't eat much either. I just forced myself to eat some for the sake of the babies. After eating the risotto, my mom went back to her room to rest, and my dad accompanied her. I helped Dominic Hartnell tidy up the cutlery. Actually, I didn't do anything, mainly because Dominic Hartnell didn't allow it. So I could only support my belly and stand there. Just as he finished tidying up everything and was about to accompany me outside, there was a knock on the door. Through the door, I heard a polite and cautious voice of a man, with a respectful tone, "Is Mr. Hartnell available?" I was puzzled. Someone was looking for Dominic Hartnell?
