Chapter 1355
Luke was leaning back in the chair.
"Officer, you''re not responsible for themunity. What if I''m a criminal?
Wouldn''t it be imprudent for you to just let me go? You should release me on bail!"
The officer didn''t know what Luke was up t o.
Luke could leave right away. Why did he insist on posting bail?
On the other side...
Eileen was boiling a pot of coffee.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
She picked up the phone. It was a strange
number. Her eyebrows furrowed and she asked, "Hello?"
"Is that Luke Bennington''s ex-wife? Pleasee to the police station on Advance Road to post bail
for Mr. Bennington."
Eileen was stunned. She was out of speech.
With Luke''s background, would he need bail to be released?
While she was lost in thought, Brad''s childish voice sounded, "Mom."
"Brad."
Immediately, she snapped back to her senses.
"Mom, pleasee to the police station and bail me and dad out. Otherwise, we can’t leave. I''m so
thirsty. There''s no water i n here."
Brad''s voice was weak with a touch of
misery.
"Didn''t your dad ask for a cup of water for you?"
"He did. But the officer wouldn''t give us. There was only ady at the police station. She didn''t know
dad. She wouldn''t let us go.
Brad''s voice grew more miserable.
Eileen got worried. She couldn''t listen to Brad any longer. She told Brad to wait for her. Then she
hung up the phone. She ran downstairs and hailed a cab.
On the way, Eileen figured Luke would be concerned about his reputation, so he didn’t ask his
assistant to post bail and that was why Brad called her.
At the police station...
The policewoman''s eyes nted.
When the little boy called his mom and said he had no water, he had a drink in his hands and was
sipping it!
What a strange man and boy!
Brad was eating cookies, and he looked up a t Luke and said, "Dad, the cookie is yummy.
Luke watched him, "I''ll ask Brandy to buy some for you when we return home, or we can go to the
supermarket and buy some when we leave here in a while."
Eileen rushed to the police station.
Seeing his mom, Brad immediately wiped the cookie crumbs from the corners of his mouth and on
his clothes with his little hands. He was choking...
Luke nced across the table and quickly swept the packet of cookies into the trash.
His movements were quick.
Just then, Eileen walked in. She headed straight towards where the two were sitting.
Brad was eating too quickly. He choked and kept burping.
Eileen stood next to Brad and gently patted Brad''s back. She frowned, "Did you choke o n
something or did you get a cold? Why do you keep burping?"
Something? No.
Brad was afraid he would give his dad away. He immediately shook his head, "I feel cold."
Eileen was bending beside Brad, and Luke was standing very close to her.
He could smell the faint scent from Eileen. His eyes flickered.
Eileen nced at Luke nonchntly and wondered how he could not leave the police station with
his status.
"Officer, can I take them away now?"
Eileen turned to the policewoman behind her.
"You need to sign on the paper. Then they can leave." The policewoman pointed to the papers on
the desk beside them.

Eileen thanked the policewoman. Then she walked toward the desk.
Eileen walked away. The female officer was still standing there. She clearly heard the conversation
between Luke and Brad. Brad tugged at Luke''s coat and asked, "Dad, what do we do next?"
After some thought, Luke narrowed his eyes and answered, "You said you hadn''t eaten anything.
You''re hungry now."
When the policewoman heard their conversation, her brows twitched involuntarily.
She heard them clearly. The little boy just ate too much that he was still burping... But the father told
him to say he was hungry...
However, the little boy wiped the corner of his mouth. "Dad, I really can''t eat anything anymore. My
stomach is about to explode."
