Chapter 315


    Shortly after, they arrived at the hospital.


    After the doctor ran some tests and ruled out any physical causes, he asked, “Are the parents


    experiencing any unusual changes emotionallytely? Or are there any changes to the child’s


    environment?”


    Yuliana froze. Then, she pursed her lips and nodded. “There are indeed some changes.”


    “That exins why.” The doctor said, “Although children are young, they are sensitive. If their parents


    are in a bad mood, the negative emotion will be passed on to the child, which will cause the child to feel


    insecure and frightened.”


    Yuliana looked down at Rowan in her arms. He kept crying on the way to the hospital, but when they


    arrived at the crowded emergency hall, he slowly stopped crying and even fell asleep.


    The doctor added, “As parents, please manage your emotions well first, then observe your child’s


    reaction. If he still cries for unknown reasonster on, you should bring him here again for more


    detailed examinations.”


    Yuliana bobbed her head. “All right. Thank you, doctor.”


    On the way home, Rowan seemed to have a dream as he was startled awake and cried for a while.


    Yuliana patiently coaxed him before he fell asleep again. This time, he did not cry non-stop as before.


    Yuliana reflected on the doctor’s words. Despite trying her best to stay calm amid issues between


    Christopher and her, it was sometimes inevitable for her to lose control of her emotions, especially


    when it came to Rowan.


    Every time she saw Rowan’s face, it would remind her of Christopher. Theposure that she


    struggled to keep would then turn to vexation.


    Yuliana was also worried that her emotions would affect Rowan. Hence, whenever such instances


    happened, she would pass Rowan to Hailey while she stepped aside alone. That way, she and Rowan


    would not be able to see each other.


    Before, Yuliana had never lost her temper at Rowan when he cried, but she would lose herposure,


    her patience, as well as her confidence. Her emotions would go out of hand too.


    After arriving home, Yuliana carried Rowan straight to the room and gently ced him in the crib.


    Hailey came in a whileter. Seeing the tired look on Yuliana’s face, Hailey suggested, “It’s still early,


    Yuliana. Get some sleep.”


    Yuliana said, “You get some sleep too, Hailey. You don’t have to get up early to make breakfast. I have


    something to attend to in the morning, so I’ll grab


    something to eat outside.”


    “Okay,” Hailey replied. She nced at Rowan and once again urged Yuliana to get some rest before


    leaving Yuliana’s room.


    However, Yuliana was not sleepy at that moment.


    She was wide awake.


    Yuliana appeared to be calm and collected after Christopher proposed a divorce, but in fact, she was in


    denial and frightened deep inside. It was terrifying for her to even think about it. All she wanted was to


    escape from reality. By night, she suffered from insomnia, and only mtonin could help her get


    through the night in a blur. Despite that, her condition would not get any better the next day.


    Rowan’s sudden outburst that night and the doctor’s words struck Yuliana.


    “I’m sorry, my darling.”


    Yuliana stood by the crib for a while, then picked up her phone and checked the time. It was almost 6


    a.m.


    She went to the bathroom to freshen up and touched up her makeup. It was a clean look, but there was


    something different than usual. She looked more stunning than before.


    Yuliana was not the type that would take one’s breath away at first sight. Her beauty stemmed from her


    elegance rather than her looks. With her makeup retouched now, her looks stood out even more.


    At present, thewyer in charge of Christopher’s case was a man in his thirties named Zayne Zamora.


    ording to La, he was fairly experienced in practicingw and was well-known in the industry


    despite his young age. He was regarded as the top among his peers.


    However, there were not many simr criminal cases. Christopher was not willing to cooperate much


    either. Hence, Zayne found his hands tied in this situation, which made La dissatisfied.


    For a superior like La, if she paid a significant amount, the person she paid should do whatever they


    could to get the matter done perfectly. Zayne clearly failed to meet La’s expectations.


    Last night, La and Zayne shared a few words regarding Christopher’s case after visiting thetter at


    the detention center. La was not in a good mood because of Christopher’s issue, and Zayne was not


    one with a good temper either. As a result, the brief discussion turned into an argument.


    Only then did La decide to search her contacts to rece Zayne.


    When Yuliana arrived at the detention center, Zayne was already there.


    The agreed meeting time was 9 a.m. Yuliana arrived at 8:50 a.m., while it was


    unknown when Zayne got there.


    Yuliana went up and shook hands with Zayne. She apologized, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”


    Zayne withdrew his hand and smiled professionally. “Not at all; I arrived early. Let’s head in first. There


    are some procedures to be handled in a while.”


    Yuliana nodded. The both of them entered the detention center side by side.


    While heading in, Yuliana asked about Christopher’s case.


    Zayne stayed silent for a moment before he solemnly said, “Mrs. Sce, I believe Ms. Sce has gone


    through the case with you. I still stand by my word that the evidence held by the police now is


    disadvantageous to Mr. Sce. If he is unwilling to cooperate, I’m afraid that even the best of the best


    lawyers would not change anything.”


    Yuliana sensed the unfriendly attitude in his tone and did not ask further.


    While Zayne handled the relevant procedures, Yuliana waited outside. They then followed the guards


    of the detention center into a small room. The room was divided into two sections by a metal fence and


    a wall half the height of a man.


    Yuliana and Zayne stood on one side of the room. The other side of the room was empty, except for a


    chair.


    Momentster, the door on the other side opened. Two guards led Christopher in and made him sit on


    the chair. After swiftly strapping his hands on each side of the chair, the guards left through the door


    again.


    Now, only the three of them were left in the small, cramped room.


    When Christopher came in, he immediately saw Yuliana. He averted his gaze as their eyes met, but


    Yuliana’s eyes never left him once.


    The color of his detention uniform was so eye-catching that Yuliana noticed his uniform the moment


    she saw him.


    It was different from what her father, Damian, wore in prison. This was because Christopher was still a


    suspect for now.

    Once the evidence was proven to be true and the court order was sentenced, Christopher would wear


    the same uniform as her father.


    Yuliana recalled the time when Damian first got into trouble. She had been flustered and afraid. People


    she was close to changedpletely in a snap of a finger ever since Damian’s incident, and they often


    gossiped behind her back too.


    Yuliana was very sad back then. For some time, she refused all social interactions outside work. She


    locked herself at home to shut out all those unpleasant words.


    It was also since then that she mastered the skill of being unbothered no matter what others said


    behind her back.


    However, no one would want a father who was an inmate.


    It was the same for Yuliana.


    She was already criticized and mocked relentlessly behind her back too many times, and she did not


    want Rowan to go through the same thing.
