    Chapter 1213


    Just then, Mason arrived and hit the man’s wrist with the rod, knocking the knife out of his grasp


    The man retaliated, engaging Mason in a scuffle. Although the man was shorter than Mason, he was


    still bulky, and his movements were calcted, like he’d been trained.


    Before long, they were wrestling on the ground, with the man choking Mason and snarling. “T’ll kill you


    for helping her file for divorce!”


    Mason’s face turned red from ack of oxygen. His veins were pulsating, but he managed to keep the


    man’s head locked with his elbow. He croaked at


    Celeste, “Go”


    Celeste’s hands were shaking, and Trisha looked pale. They were clearly terrified by the battle.


    After realizing that he couldn’t break free, the man reached for the kitchen knife on the ground.


    As his fingers got closer to the knife, Mason’s face became ashen.


    Suddenly, a canister hit the man’s head. He staggered momentarily, and before he could even see who


    had hit him, he fell unconscious.


    The hand that had been choking Mason finally let go He looked up to see Celeste by his side, her hand


    still trembling.

    Trisha quickly kicked the kitchen knife away and asked, “Mr. Fletcher, are you okay?”


    Mason, finally taking his eyes off Celeste, muttered, ‘I’m fine,” before asking Trisha to find some rope.


    Trisha ran off to find some while Mason kept an eye on Celeste, who was still shock, her eyes fixated


    on the blood at the back of the man’s head.


    “Don’t worry, he won’t die” Mason reassured her.


    Collecting herself, Celeste nodded.


    Trisha returned with shoces and bed sheets, and they tied the man up securely.


    The police arrived just in time.


    The man who’d been knocked out had regained consciousness and began cursing. As he was being


    taken away, he red at Celeste, Tll remember you!”


    Mason stood in front of Celeste, retorting coldly. We’ll talk when you make it out alive.”


    The abusive man was taken away by the police, and the unconscious woman was rushed to the


    hospital. As witnesses, they had to apany the police to the station to give their statements.


    On the way, Mason revealed that the unconscious woman was his client. She had been a victim of


    domestic abuse for a long time and had been trying to get a divorce but was constantly threatened with


    death by her husband.


    Not too long ago, she suffered hearing loss in her left ear due to a beating. It was thest straw, and


    she decided to file for divorce and move out.


    The abusive husband received a court summons yesterday and hade to confront her about the


    divorce today.


    Trisha was outraged, “She should have divorced him the moment he started abusing her! There’s no


    difference between having one episode of domestic violence or countless others Why did she put up


    with him?”


    Mason muttered. “Some people are very good at pretending to be sorry They bawl their eyes out or


    even get on their knees to beg for forgiveness after every time they’ve thrown a punch. Women and


    men deal with emotions differently, right? Women tend to be more emotional. And once kidse into


    the picture, they start to worry more. Add that to the mix of outdated beliefs from a lot of parents in our


    country, who think couples fighting and scrapping is just part of the rtionship. Maybe they went


    through it themselves, so they brush it off as ‘no biggie‘. They think asking for a divorce is like making a


    mountain out of a molehill. Some extreme people even think it’s a disgrace if their daughter gets a


    divorce. That’s why, for some women. getting out of an abusive marriage is like pulling teeth”


    “Not all women have a solid financial backing or family support. They’re victims, not the ones to be


    med”
