Chapter 331


    The officer’s words hit her like a bucket of cold water. “I’m sorry, but they are not interested in any


    settlement. They want to see you prosecuted to the full extent of thew. And if you’re thinking of


    filing an appeal, you should know that Attorney ra is personally taking on the case. Do you really


    think you can win against her?”


    Heidi stared at the police officer, her face a mask of disbelief. “ra is injured. How can she


    possibly be in court to fight a case?”

    “I’m afraid you’re mistaken,” the officer said with a note of finality. “Ms. ra is not the one who’s


    injured.”


    Heidi felt like she had been sucker-punched. That damn bitch hadn’t been hurt after all. She had


    dodged a bullet.


    Why was it that ra got off scot-free while she was left facing the hammer of justice? Heidi felt an


    unprecedented sense of defeat. In a fit of desperation, she cried out, “I want to see my dad. He’ll


    get me out of this mess.”


    The officer seemed deaf to her pleas, motioning for her to be taken away to jail.


    Meanwhile, ra was in the middle of peeling an apple for Sasha, when she heard the news. Her


    hand paused for a moment before she looked up at Ian. “The person who threw acid at mest time


    must’ve been put up to it by Heidi. Why don’t we let that little tidbit slip to the right ears?”


    Ian’s lips curled into a smug grin. “You’re as sharp as ever. Great minds think alike. I’ve already


    spread the word. As soon as that guy gives up on Heidi, he won’t be her pawn anymore. With the


    two chargesbined, she’s looking at a few years in jail.”


    He massaged ra’s head affectionately, then leaned in to whisper in her ear. “Don’t worry. I’ll


    make sure she gets a ‘warm wee’ in prison. Any hardship you’ve faced, I’ll see it paid back


    double. ra, you’ve had a long day. How about youe home and rest with me? I’ve yet to


    properly greet our baby. Can’t I get a chance to make it up?”


    ra’s cheeks burned at Ian’s tant flirtation. “Ian, I’m trying to have a serious conversation. Can


    you not?”


    “Looking after my wife and child is serious business, isn’t it?”


    Ian’s gaze was so tender it could melt steel, and even Sasha felt a blush creeping up her cheeks.


    She quickly took the apple from ra’s hand. “Okay, you two. Go home. Any longer and I’ll choke


    on the sweetness here. I’ll be fine. The assistant’s got it covered.”


    ra shook her head, reluctant. “I want to stay with you.”


    “Just take care of your baby. That’s all I ask. If you don’t go, Ian won’t leave, and I can’t even use


    the restroom in peace. Please, I’m begging you.” With no other choice, Sasha shooed them out.


    As soon as they got into the car, Ian pulled ra into his embrace. His warm palm gently rested on


    her belly. His eyes misted over, and his voice was husky. “ra, this is our miracle, born of endless


    nights of hard work. How could you keep his existence from me?”


    He was a cocktail of emotions – joy, sorrow, and tenderness all at once. He bent over and kissed


    her belly gently, then looked up at her with intense eyes. “ra, we’re finally going to have a child.


    I’m going to be a dad. Do you know how happy I am?”


    His face wore a joyful smile, but his eyes were wet with tears. He leaned in to kiss her lips, his voice


    raspy with emotion. “ra, let’s get married.”
