Feel the Way You Feel, My Love Chapter 938
On top of that, parents who loved each other deeply tended to love their children deeply as well. Subsequently, their children were blissful as their parents showered them with abundant love.
By the time Natalie woke up on the couch again the next day, Shane had already left.
According to Mrs. Wilson, he left in haste after receiving a call. It seemed to be related to Sam’s final trial.
Natalie made her way to the washroom and did her morning routine. She left the ward silently without disturbing the kids, who were still sound asleep.
She planned to get a few matters settled before flying overseas the next day to attend the competition. A few things had been put on hold the previous day as she had to stay by the kids’ side most of the time. For instance, she had to withdraw her kids from kindergarten and also visit Alice.
Fortunately, the withdrawal from kindergarten was not a tedious procedure. She only needed to sign a contract after talking it through with the person in charge.
After stepping out of the kindergarten, she went to look for Lucinda first.
Lucinda was over the moon when she saw Natalie. Without hesitation, she went to the women’s prison with her.
At the visiting room of the prison, Alice looked at Natalie eagerly. “Mrs. Thompson, when can I be released?”
“You might have to hang on a little longer. My husband is still in the midst of gathering concrete evidence to charge the Gunn family. You know that the family is backing Jacqueline Graham up, don’t you? If we don’t drag the Gunn family down first, they’ll be able to save her at any time and strike back at us,” Natalie explained to her patiently.
Even though Jacqueline had tried to murder her twice, she would at most be charged with attempted murder and sentenced up to twenty years. Will the Gunn family let her be imprisoned without doing anything?
She was convinced that they would leave no stones unturned to sweep everything under the rug. As a prominent and influential family, they would surely prevent anything from tarnishing their image.
Alice looked dejected and mumbled sorrowfully, “I got it.”
Natalie’s heart wrenched at the sight of her disappointment. She changed her mind and decided to keep mum that Jacqueline had escaped. If not, she foresaw Alice would be even more down in the dumps.
“I’m sorry, but I promise I’ll get you out,” Natalie apologized to her.
Alice shook her head and replied casually, “Mrs. Thompson, I don’t blame you for this. In fact, I only have myself to blame for ending up here. I shot myself in the foot due to my foolishness. I’ve made it through the past few months, so it doesn’t matter if I have to wait for a few more. Who knows, maybe I’ll be entitled to better compensation for staying here longer?”
Her words cheered Natalie up in an instant. “All right, that’s all from me. Let me ask your mom to come in and have a chat with you.”
Alice nodded and replied, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson.”
Natalie put down the receiver and stepped out of the visiting room to call Lucinda.
After ten minutes, Lucinda stepped out from the visiting room with red-rimmed eyes. She had clearly been crying.
When Natalie handed her a tissue to wipe off her tears, she smiled sheepishly. “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson.”
Natalie tried to console her, “Don’t worry. I’m sure Ms. Brown will be released soon.”
“Yes, I know. But she shouldn’t have made a deal with that malicious woman from the Graham family. That silly girl! She landed herself in hot soup!” Lucinda let out a deep sigh in weariness.
“We can’t blame her for that. She took the risk for her family. Moreover, she did not know she would be dealing with Jacqueline.” Natalie put on a smile to appease her.
Lucinda let out a deep sigh again before responding, “I understand. That’s why I get all worked up whenever I think of it. My silly girl shouldn’t have made her promise impulsively without knowing who she was dealing with. I don’t know what to say about the Graham family. The couple is seemingly upright people with virtues. How is it possible for them to have such a despicable daughter?”
“Mrs. Brown, you seem to be quite familiar with her parents?” Natalie asked inquisitively.
Lucinda nodded and explained, “Mrs. Graham and I used to be best friends many years ago. Sadly, we burned bridges with each other due to a conflict. Since then, we’ve never crossed paths with each other again. Even so, I don’t doubt that she and her husband are a couple with virtues. I’m doubtful how they ended up having such a heinous daughter. I even heard that…”
“What did you hear?” Natalie asked her hastily.
Lucinda furrowed her brows as she continued to explain, “I’m not sure if the others were exaggerating, but if I’m not mistaken, the doctor detected something awry when Mrs. Graham was in her second trimester of pregnancy at that time. He advised her to have an abortion as the baby had an antisocial personality disorder. Nonetheless, she disagreed and even claimed that the doctor was speaking nonsense.”
