Chapter 38

When the fat woman saw the tall and short haired woman, she immediately rushed up and hugged her,
crying, "Amy, you're here. Please save my son. Please uphold justice for him!"

The woman with short hair only had a strong aura. She was also a middle-aged, beautiful, strong and
capable woman, but this kind of ability and charm were different from Lena. Lena was a little arrogant
and domineering, while the woman with short hair was a little reserved. Just a glance of her made
everyone in the ward quiet, just like a queen.

She held the fat woman in her arms and comforted her in a low voice, "Aunt, don't worry. I'll handle it
well. I won't let Anthony suffer any injustice!"

"You must deal with them. You must deal with them. You can't let them live well. My poor son hasn't
come out of the emergency room yet..." The fat woman complained in a low voice.

After comforting her for a while, the short haired woman let go of the fat woman and let her wipe her
tears quietly. Then she asked Nicole, "Are you Layton's family?"

Nicole felt something was wrong, but she still nodded.

"Who is he to you?"

"He is my brother." Nicole admitted frankly.

The short haired woman looked at the police behind her. The police behind her took a step forward,
showed their IDs, and seriously said to Nicole, "Your brother is suspected of intentional injury. He is
seriously ill in bed, so please follow us to the police station!"

At that moment, Nicole felt shocked as if a bolt was falling from the blue, which made her head numb.
Besides, the police outside came in and took the students including Justin away.



Although Justin and others were afraid, they didn't dare to do anything to the police. They bowed their
heads and followed them obediently.

The cowardly Howard finally came out and asked, "Police, what's going on? Is there any
misunderstanding?"

The police said seriously, "We received the victim's family to report the case. Whether it's a
misunderstanding or not, the family members will follow us to the police station to make a record and
investigate it clearly!"

Howard hesitated and dared not speak. He looked at Nicole worriedly. Lena still stood by the window
indifferently, crossing her arms and sneering.

Nicole was a family member, so the police didn't make things difficult for her, but she couldn't refuse
this order. She stood there silently for a while, looked back at the unconscious Layton, and finally
followed the police to the police station. Nicole had to figure out what was going on and what kind of
mistake Layton had done that she could find ways to save him!

On the way to the police station, Nicole followed these students in a police car. The students sat in the
middle of the crowd of the police, lowering their heads in silence. The crying student cried even more,
but he didn't dare to cry loudly. He just sobbed slightly. Justin also lowered his head. He was usually
fearless, but now he seemed to have really thought and regretted only once in the face of such a big
thing.

Looking at these students, Nicole felt sorry for them. They were just seventeen or eighteen years old
children. Their future would be ruined if they were involved in such a big matter. It would be fine if they
were still under age. The criminal law protected them, but if they just reached 18 years old, they would
really be hopeless.



Nicole didn't dare to comfort them, especially Justin. Without Justin, her brother Layton might not have
been involved in such a big trouble. Nicole had no choice but to try her best to hold on. She hoped that
when they arrived at the police station, this matter would be more beneficial to Layton. She hoped that
Layton was not the main criminal!

However, her life was just like this. While Nicole had already taken a heavy blow, life continued to add
insult to injury to her.

They went to the police station to make a record for a long time, at least 3 hours. During this period, the
parents of the students were informed, but they could only sit outside and wait, unable to participate.

Facing the serious expression and sharp eyes of the police, and in the long time of serious
atmosphere, the students finally trembled. Some of them were about to be crazy, and the crying
student even fainted with hypoglycemia.

The record was interrupted two times, and finally ended in 3 hours. After signing on the statement,
Nicole walked out of the police station difficultly.

Those students, Justin and two seriously involved students were directly detained, and the other two
were released, shaking their legs and following their parents away.

When the crying student saw the disappointment on Nicole's face, he walked downstairs
absentmindedly. Suddenly, he left the parent's circle and ran over to Nicole. "Nicole..."

Nicole looked at the thin boy who was crying. She just knew his name was Clarence Liu. His name
sounded female and his character was a little weak. But after meeting with him for a while, she felt that
this student was sincere and kind-hearted. She didn't know why he was with others like Justin.

Nicole looked at Clarence with empty eyes and didn't say anything.



Suddenly, Clarence choked with sobs and said, "Nicole, I'm sorry for you. I'm so sorry for Layton. I'm so
sorry!"

Nicole was confused, but considering the kindness of the student, she didn't think too much and smiled
bitterly, "Why did you feel sorry for us?"

Clarence lowered his head and cried silently.

Nicole shook her head and was about to leave. Clarence said loudly again, "Anyway, I'm sorry. I'm
sorry for you. I'm sorry for Layton.... Don't blame me..." Clarence said the last word in a low voice,
aggrieved, as if he had some difficulties.

Nicole raised her hand and patted the crying young boy. Enduring the pain, Nicole comforted him and
said, "You didn't do anything wrong to me or Layton. It's all Layton's fate. Layton made his own mistake
and didn't need others to apologize. And in the future you... Learn his lesson and don't take this path!"

Clarence nodded.

Nicole patted Clarence on the shoulder and said, "Good boy!" Then Nicole left.

Clarence looked at Nicole's back and whispered, "Nicole, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for Layton. I'm sorry for
you!" Clarence looked back at the police station and murmured, "I have no choice. Don't blame me.
You and Layton don't blame me..."

Nicole walked to the roadside and took a taxi. She got into the car and left this sad place, continuing to
go to the hospital where Layton was.

Nicole really didn't know how to deal with the three hours' notes in the police station. The 5 students
told Nicole that they had had several conflicts with Anthony from the high school next school, and that
they had also been punished by the school. But last week, Anthony seized the girl that Layton fell in



love with. In a fit of anger, Layton urged Justin and others to ask Anthony out for a negotiation, which
was under the North River Bridge near the school.

It was because of the self-study last night that Layton, Justin, and others skipped classes together.
Anthony and the others went out after several hours of self-study because they met their head teacher
and were strictly punished. Because of this, Layton was very dissatisfied with their being late. As soon
as they met, they began to quarrel and almost hit each other.

Later, the two groups finally controlled their temper and came to negotiate. However, they couldn't
reach an agreement on the site ownership, girlfriend and other issues, so they began to fight. New and
old grudges and complaints about each other's late for appointment and other emotions broke out
together, and the fight was extremely fierce.

They had a fight at about 1 o'clock in the morning. There was no pedestrian under the bridge or around
the river, so no one called the police even if they made a loud noise.

Some of them used knives and stones, so some people bled.

Later, when Layton chased the seriously injured Anthony to the HB Road and had a car accident on the
road, someone then called the police and exposed this big case.

The policeman asked, "Who hit first?"
