NovelBookChapter 712 However, when she noticed Sean curled up in a ball on the single bed, Nadine couldn't help but wonder if she'd made the wrong choice. It was just an apology. If she'd just apologized, the other party would let them go, and Sean could return hto sleep in a warm, soft bed instead of being uncomfortable here.
The female officer, who had stayed by Nadine and Sean's side, noticed her troubled expression and decided to help.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Ms. Scott, you're allowed to contact someone you trust to cvisit you or ask them to arrange for a lawyer. In your case, I'd suggest contacting someone influential, someone who could help you gain an advantage over the other party. That would be in your best interest." Nadine was aware that the female officer meant well, so she sincerely said, "Thank you. But my phone was taken, so I can't make any calls." The officer pointed to a small room across the hallway. "There's a landline there. Once you've decided who to call, you can go ahead and use it. However, you have to keep it under five minutes." Nadine thanked her again and headed to the small room without a second thought. Sebastian had gone back to Chillnada for the New Year and wouldn't be back in Janctera City until after the holidays. She figured he was probably celebrating with his family at that moment.
Nadine didn't want to disturb him, so she decided to call Avery instead. Avery had few influential friends in Janctera City besides Alex. Hence, when she picked up Nadine's call in the middle of the night, she immediately reached out to him, hoping he'd help.
Alex was the kind who needed complete silence while he was asleep. If he was woken up, he wouldn't be able to fall back asleep until morning. After grumbling through the call, he gave Avery Brad's number.
"She's Brad's wife. Who could possibly hold more power than him in this city? Why is she coming toinstead of Brad? I'm not keen on the idea of rescuing someone else's wife in the middle of the night!" Avery managed to get through to Brad, but as soon as she explained Nadine's situation, he hung up on her. When she tried to reach him again, her call went straight to voicemail.
Avery stared at her darkened phone screen before rushing to the police station where Nadine was being held. Unfortunately, she was powerless and couldn't even catch a glimpse of Nadine.
Nadine didn't get a wink of sleep that night, and when dawn broke, her eyes were bloodshot. Her resolve had weakened as she watched Sean toss and turn on the single bed. All she felt was heartache for her son and regret. Cóntent Why had she been so stubborn about not apologizing? The reality was that the world wasn't fair, and the weak always had to yield to the strong. Nadine was about to give in and apologize when the doorswung open. .

Concerned about waking Sean, the female officer gestured for her to step out quietly ut quietly while she stayed behind to look after him. Nadine thanked her and followed the officer out of the room. As soon as she sat down, she noticed the wealthy woman who had
clashed with her the day before grinning at her. "Well, have you cto your senses yet? Are you ready to apologize? It must be uncomfortable in there, no?"
Nadine clenched her fists. There was no way she'd apologize if she didn't believe she was in the wrong. But she couldn't let Sean suffer because of her. Swallowing her pride, she conceded. "Fine! I apologize!" She was brimming with indignation as those words left her lips. She dug her nails into her palms, using the pain to numb her frustration.
