Chapter 1782
Rowane was startled to hear Leah inviting her over. She stared nkly at Leah.
She seemed to be embarrassed.
After a long silence, she said, "Leah, I''m going to the police stationter. I bought the taser online,
and I''ll gift it to you now. Just use it against him if he ever finds you again. It''s strong enough."
She passed the taser to Leah.
Leah was startled. "I can buy it myself."
"I''ve bought two," Rowane said, "This is for you."
Leah was startled again. She didn''t expect that.
She didn''t put on airs either and reached out to take it. "Thank you."
Rowane shook her head and smiled. "Ever since he assaulted me, I was traumatized and I
prepared this in advance. I knew he wasn''t going to behave himself when I saw him leaving earlier
today."
"He was so relieved after my abortion at the hospital yesterday. He wasn''t upset at all." "I couldn''t
believe that he wasn''t at least sad to end our baby''s life." "Only then did I realize that he wanted to
get rid of me."
"I don''t mind the fact that he doesn''t love me. But then, why did he force himself on me when he
doesn''t love me at all?"
"Although I was the one who wanted to get his attention, I had never imagined being assaulted by
him, let alone getting myself pregnant."
Rowaneughed in a self-deprecating manner. It made her face even paler.
Leah could only offer herfort, "It''s okay. We all make mistakes in our lives. Don''t belittle yourself
over this. Just take care of yourself and bounce back from this. You will still get to find someone
better."
Of course, Rowane would still have a lot to improve on before she could find someone better. Leah
kept this in her heart.
Rowane let out a wry smile. "I don''t deserve anyone better. I am a bad person and I deserve to be
punished."
Leah thought for a while without saying anything.
"Leah, why don''t you bring me to the police station near campus? I wish to put an end between me
and Hogan." Rowane said.
Leah was confused. She thought that Rowane was just bluffing about this in front of Hogan.
She didn''t expect Rowane to say this even when Hogan was no longer around them.
This really surprised Leah. She stared deeply at Rowane and said, "You really have to think
carefully about this. Once you report this to the police, you and Hogan will both face disciplinary
punishment and that will only make you the gossip topic across campus. How are you supposed to
fall in love again?"
"I don''t n on falling in love again. I love Hogan, a lot, although he isn''t worth it at all. I have
always been in love with him. He''s my everything."
I''m used to taking things away from you. Maybe this was also why I fell for Hogan in the first ce. I
used to think that it would be the end of the world to lose him. Now that I''ve seen his true colors,
now that I''ve noticed that he doesn''t even feel sorry for me, then maybe I should start hating him
instead. As long as he would remember me."
Leah gasped. "Rowane, you are not thinking straight about this. This isn''t love. It isn''t worth it to ruin
yourself over someone who doesn''t love you back."
"It''s worth it to me. Leah, just apany me to the police station, will you?" Rowane took her hand.
"I am too weak to walk there on my own. Can you bring me to the station and then to my ce for
the evidence?"
Seeing that Rowane had made up her mind, Leah nodded and said, "Sure, if you''re really doing
this, I''ll go with you."
"But then, shouldn''t you at least tell your mom about this?"
Rowane shook her head. "There''s no need for that. She wouldn''t be interested to know about my
stuff. Let''s just do it my way."
Thus, Leah helped Rowane to the police station.
They requested to make a report once they reached the station.
The police officer looked at them with surprise. "What report are you making?"
Leah nced back at Rowane.
She knew that this was Rowane''s matter. Leah didn''t want Rowane to regret this in the future,
hence she waited for Rowane to speak up.

Rowane sat on the chair and said lightly, "I was sexually assaulted about a month ago. I got
pregnant and I terminated my pregnancy yesterday. I wish to make a police report on this."
"Why are you only reporting this now? Especially after terminating your pregnancy," The police
officer frowned. "Why didn''t you report this earlier? It''d be much easier for us to gather evidence
too."
Leah noticed that she could no longer stay away from this, hence she spoke up, "She was
threatened by her assaulter but she kept the evidence too. It''s a sheet with his semen and bodily
fluid. This evidence is solid enough. Moreover, carrying out an investigation is the police''s duty. I
hope this can be put on record."
The police officer was startled. "Did you really keep the evidence?"
Rowane nodded. "I also kept the fetus with me. It can prove that I was pregnant with his child.
These are solid evidence we''re talking about."
"If it really happened against your will, then this matter would be a criminal case, and the other
party will have to go to jail because of this." the police officer said.
Rowane pursed her lips and said, "I know. I have thought about this already."
Thus, the case was established.
The police would have to carry out the investigation as long as a case was established.
After making the police report, Leah helped Rowane back to her ce to get the evidence.
They returned to the station and presented the evidence to the police. The police officers were
taken aback.
Muchter, on their way back, Leah feltplexed. She didn''t expect things to be like this.
She used to look down upon Rowane. However, after this incident, she started to respect Rowane''s
courage.
If this was to happen to Leah, she might not even have the courage to make a police report. After
all, she knew what she would be facing if this was made public. She didn''t dare imagine if she would
be able to face it alone.
Perhaps, people could still change.
Rowane has changed, and so did her father after meeting her stepmother.
Ernest has changed, and so did she.
Upon returning to her apartment, Hogan was no longer there.
Leah returned to her ce. She took out her phone and saw the voice note Maria sent her.
It was an apology. Maria was sorry about letting Ernest talk to her. Maria imed that she didn''t do
it on purpose.
How did she not do it on purpose? Leah thought to herself. She had a feeling that Maria was trying
to get her and Ernest back together.
She put her phone away and was about to go shower when she received another notification. It was
another apology from Maria.
Maria also asked if she could call Leah again. She said that she was in her own room and she
made sure she would never let Ernest interrupt them again.
