Chapter 860
Just like the phone call he picked up before, all the iing calls were from Anson and his office.
When he frowned, the cell phone in his hand vibrated again with the same number on the screen,
urging him to hurry up.
His mouth tightened into a thin line. He put the ss on the dining table and gazed at his lover who
was sleeping soundly in the bedroom. The sun threw its warm light on her pink cheeks. After
thinking for a few seconds, he finally went to the door.
Emily had slept for a long time. When she woke up, she was sweating all over.
She took out her hands beneath the quilt to cover her eyes. Looking out of the window, she found
that it was brilliantly sunny. Presumably, it was midday.
When she put down her hand, what she touched was the closed book.
Remembering his low voice echoed in her ear before she fell asleep, she turned over and
subconsciously looked for the man behind her, but soon she noticed that she was the only one on
the big bed. The sheet next to her was cold.
He had gone anyway...
Since she woke up from a deep slumber, her spirits plummeted for no reason.
Her phone rang at this time, it was Tina calling. "Hello, Emily, how are you today? I''m interviewing
somewhere at the riverside. I may see you at lunch break."
"I''m fine!" Emily said in a low voice.
She looked at the sheet beside her. In the morning, she nned to go out for a walk with him but
was interrupted by his phone call.
She was very bitter and didn''t want to stay at home. She pursed her lips and said to the phone,
"Don''t bother. Let''s meet outside. Name a ce, I''lle to get you!"
At thew firm.
In the office, Anson was sitting in front of the desk, and there were two chairs opposite him. One
was sitting on the chair of Addy, and the other was Simon who just arrived.
Based on what they got at thest session, they were preparing to collect more substantial
evidence for the next sitting of the court, so that they could win the case as soon as possible.
Sean firmly refused to divorce, and insisted that they still had feelings for each other. He denied the
domestic violence and argued that he didn''t mean to do it and it was unconscious conduct due to
drunkenness. What was more, Addy had always chosen to forgive him, so she had never called the
police. They had no firm evidence to support the case.
"You are newly married for about two months. It is rtively easy to deal with the divorce case
purely caused by property division, but now we''re facing a quite tricky situation. Mr. Jules''s attitude
is very clear. He doesn''t want to divorce!"
Anson looked grim and slowly continued, "When trying cases involving domestic violence, the court
may, based on such evidence as police records and injury identification opinions of public security
organs, find the facts of domestic violence. That is to say, domestic violence must be serious
enough. ording tow, in addition to your injuries, you have to prove that Sean did that more
than three times a year by the evidence I mentioned, the irrefutable evidence!"
Addy couldn''t help sighing and feeling regretful. "If I had known that this marriage was a mistake, I
shouldn''t have it any longer. I just felt guilty for Sean, so..."
In the past, she chose to put up with him, and even forgive.
Simon narrowed his eyes and said, "Except for the doctor''s reports, we may collect some
statements from your neighbors. Your neighbors definitely heard the noise when he got physical
with you at home. What''s more, rememberst time in the underground parking lot beneath the
shopping mall? Although Sean was crafty enough to duck out of security camera, someone had
witnessed!"
If he remembered correctly, that night, two older cleaning staff were present.
If it weren''t for their whispers, Simon wouldn''t have suspected, and then found out that Addy was
being beaten by Sean. It just happened several days ago. Although the underground parking lot
was very dark, he had a mental image of what they two would look like.
The staff in the shopping mall were all on long-term contracts. As long as they found their manager,
it would be easy to find out the witnesses.
Simon continued, "If we find them, they would be key evidence! Later on, I will contact with
Women''s International Democratic Federation, and when court meets again, we will win the case!"
Anson went out to instruct his subordinates to deal with some business matters, leaving only the
two of them in the office.
Addy looked at him with amorous eyes and stumbled. "Simon, thank you. To be honest, you have
done so much for me, which I feel is more than I was entitled to! If you are busy, you don''t have to
worry about me. I can handle it alone!"
"Addy." Simon replied in a low, gloomy voice, "You know that I can''t just stand by. You''re my friend. I
should be responsible for this?"
Addy folded her hands on her knees and knew why he said so. Mixed emotions were pressing in on
her.
His phone suddenly vibrated at this time, and he took it out from his trouser pocket.
Tina?
Seeing the caller ID on the screen, a trace of surprise shed in Simon''s eyes for he didn''t know
why she called him.
He nced at Anson, who was pushing the door and walking in, and signaled to both of them.
"Wait a minute, I''m getting a call!"
As it connected, Simon ced it beside his ear. He only heard Tina''s anxious voice. "Dr. Chin,
something is up. Emily just fainted-"
His expression suddenly changed.

After leaving thew firm, he drove to the private hospital with thew hot on his heels.
After going through several red lights continuously along the way, he finally arrived at the
emergency room. Tina was anxiously waiting outside the ward.
Simon rushed up and asked with a metallic taste at the back of his throat, "Tina, what happened?"
Usually, Tina would be shy when she was called like this. But at this time, she didn''t notice it and
exined, "I don''t know. I called her at noon and when I interviewed somewhere nearby your
house. I''m worried for her, so I told her I would look her up!"
"But Emily said to meet outside. So we had lunch together. She didn''t eat much. Then we went to
the nearby mall. But she went to the bathroom and didn''te out. When I came in to find her, she
already fainted on the toilet. Yesterday she bled. And today... the results of medical tests hadn''t
come out yet. I still don''t know how''s her condition now!"
Tina finished speaking in one breath. Her face was filled with worry.
However, seeing that Simon, as a doctor, was more anxious and flustered than she was. Tina who
had the same experience, quicklyforted, "Dr. Chin, don''t worry. She will be fine. It''s just she''s
not awake yet!"
