Chapter 296: The Case Will Come to Trial


    Abby then leaves the police station. The next day, she goes to the RED Community to visit Lily’s


    parents.


    They lost a lot of weight due to living under worries and pressures every day. Especially Harry, who


    was originally so energetic that everyone met him would praise him for his energy, now looks too old for


    his age in a slightly discolored shirt with a lifeless expression. Bree’s condition is worse. Her hair is


    increasingly flecks with gray and her eyes get cloudier for the tears in the past few days.


    Abby brings a lot of supplements from home although she is clear that they might not have time to eat


    them. The worry for them is always on her mind, “Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry. I visited Lily yesterday.


    She is good. Although she is now in the police station, Rex has primed those police officers, so they’ve


    taken good care of her and even specially prepared some other dishes and beverage for her. She lives


    as well as she is at home.


    God, forgive her for telling a white lie. She really can’t bear to tell them the truth.


    Hearing her words, Bree stares at her straightly and grasps her hand, with great strength even she


    herself doesn’t perceive it, “What did you say? You visited Lily?”


    Lily uses the other hand to pat the back of her hand and consoles her, “Yep, auntie, I visited her.”


    “How is she doing there? Is she in a good health? Did she tell you something about the case? When


    will she be released?” Bree is incoherent with anxiety, “I believe Lily will nevermit murder or crime.


    I and her father have taught her to be good since she was a child. She will never be a murderer…”


    “I know it. Auntie, rx. Lily’s case hasn’te to trial and everything is very far from certain. The


    media are just indiscriminately broadcasting rumors to attract public attention.”


    The old saying says that men do not easily cry. However, Harry, who has always been strong in his life,


    can’t help but reddens his eyes, “How’s Lily? Is she alright?”


    “She’s good. She asked me to visit you. She’s worrying about you.”


    “Then why didn’t she contact us?! Silly girl!” Harry gets angry. Although he is ming her with words, in


    his heart, he feels distressed for that his daughter has burdened so much.


    "The police station has its own regtions so Lily can’t contact you frequently. Uncle, don''t worry, Lily is


    good. I promise" Abby repeatedly promises them that Lily is good in the police office, fearing that they


    might get sick because of their worries for Lily.


    Lily’s parents are old, and enormous mood swings might lead to big troubles.

    Hearing Abby’s reassurance, Bree and Harry finally feels relieved and secretly wipes away the tears at


    their eyes corners. Bree, as a woman, is more emotional and fails to hold back her tears, “Harry, we’ve


    been kind to others and conscientious to work. What sin did wemit that God punished us in this


    way?”


    Harry doesn’t answer this question and his face is gloomy.


    Abby pats them on the shoulders andforts in a gentle voice, “Uncle, Auntie, don’t be sad. Lily must


    be worrying about you. If she knows that you are so sad, she will definitely me me. She told me that


    her case will be settled soon and then she wille back.”


    “The case…” Bree stutters in a choked voice, “Is fighting awsuit that easy?”


    “Rex is helping her, so she will probably win the case.” However, what Abby doesn’t know is that Rex


    has decided to plead guilty.


    Harry pulls Bree into his arms and sighs, “What a destiny…”


    Abby, who witness this miserable scene, also feels sad. She sincerely hopes that these troubles can be


    solved soon and that their lives can return to the right track. Otherwise, no one can hold on anymore.


    Even she, an outsider, feels so tired and breathless, let alone the persons involved.


    She nces around at Lily’s house and fixes her gaze on Harry and Bree and keeps praying in heart,


    “Wish everything will be better! Wish everything will be better!”


    ...


    Lily has been detained in the detention center for two days. She doesn’t know how she has endured it.


    But when the staff tells her that someone is going to take her out, she stands up and staggers.


    The humid room, the unptable food, and the malnutrition during the pregnancy period, all together


    make her be weak.


    Seeing her staggering, the staff beside asks with concern, “Are you okay, Miss Lily?”


    “Good.”


    “We will go to courtter. If you feel ufortable, please tell me.”


    "Well, I know." Lily grits her teeth to hold back the sickness. If she says she feels ufortable, then


    they will postpone the court session. But she doesn’t want to wait anymore.


    Lily is then escorted into the prison transporter. The car is driven smoothly all the way, but before they


    reach the court, they find out that some people are following behind them.


    “For the sake of breaking news, these reporters don’t even care about their lives!” A policeins


    to the driver.


    “That makes sense. Breaking news brings great profit.”


    Hearing their conversation, Lily feels sorrowful. When did she be the gossiping subject of others?


    Luckily, she can’t see what’s happening outside through the non-reflective window, which gives her


    some inexplicable sense of security.


    As soon as the car stops in front of the court, it is immediately surrounded by reporters from different


    mediapanies. Looking at the cameras, Lily, who sits inside the car, gets cold hands feet.


    “Miss Lily, we will use a cloth to cover your head, please cooperate us.”


    Lily shoots a nce at the dark gray cloth in his hand and then tightly clenches her fists to strengthen


    her conviction, “No need. I did nothing wrong. Why should I walk into the court under a cover?”


    She is not the one who did something wrong, so she shouldn’t wear that cover.


    No matter how the public willment her, she herself is clear that she is innocent and will never admit


    crimes that she hasn’tmitted.


    The police officer, who is at his thirties, gives her an admiring look when hearing her words. Even some


    men would not have such kind of courage. “We will respect your choice.”


    With the support of two police officers, Lily gets out of the car. As she just gets out, cameras whirred,


    illuminating the front door of the court.


    Under such bright lights, Lily can’t open her eyes. She raises her hand to block the lights. But then she


    is pulled by someone. Although she can’t see the scene, their questions linger around her ears -----


    “Miss Lily, news has that Mr. Rex is the attorney for your case. Can you disclose your preparations to


    us?”


    “Miss Lily, I’ve heard that you kept denying the crime of murder. How much confidence do you have for


    proving your innocence during this court session?”


    “Miss Lily…”


    These questions whirl around in her mind, making her unable to think. She quickens her pace and


    walks into the court. The sensor door is then closed, blocking the questions outside the door.


    Lily looks down at the smooth and bright ground, trembling. Noticing her reaction, one of the police


    officers next to her asks with concern, “Miss Lily, if you feel ufortable…”


    “I’m fine.” Before he can finish her words, Lily raises her hand to interrupt him, “Let’s go.”


    The dy of the case will only bring the exposure of her pregnancy as her morning sickness is getting


    more and more serious. So it is better to settle this case as soon as possible.


    …


    Lily is then taken to an office. Later, she will enter the court through the door that connects this room


    and the court to face the judge andwyers. She has to make a clear statement to prove her


    innocence.


    Although Lily is very nervous, she dares not to be too agitated for fear of affecting the child in her belly.


    During the past few days, she had no appetite and didn’t sleep well, so she feels ufortable now.


    As she is immersed in the anxiety, the door of the office is suddenly opened. Rex, in a neat ck suit


    with a well-tied tie with his hair pulled back tightly, walks towards her step by step and then stands in


    front of her. Unlike his decadent look several days ago, he looks noble and arrogant again.


    The suit is very well-fitting and is tailored for him. Although the design is not special, he looks quite


    charming in the suit.


    Rex says nothing but steps forward and gives her a passionate kiss. Lily can sense his passion for her


    through his movements. He is missing her very much, just like she is.
