Nathan was a perceptive person. Mandy didn't normally call him at this time. Mandy knew that he was busy with work around this time, so she tried not to disturb him. She would only call him during his lunch breaks or send text messages.
Today, Mandy suddenly called him at half-past nine. There must be something wrong. Before Mandy could speak, he already guessed that something was wrong.
"I⦠Well, I just hit someone in the hospital," Mandy stammered, and she looked as if she was in a daze.
"What? You hit someone? Did you hurt yourself?" Nathanâs frown deepened. He wasnât upset at Mandy for hitting someone but was more concerned if she had been hurt.
In Nathanâs eyes, nothing was more important than Mandyâs safety. He would have her back even if she committed a crime.
Mandy shook her head. She suddenly felt light-headed and imagined that Nathan was in front of her. She shook her head as if he was there with her.
Nathan waited for her answer. His face became serious, and he said anxiously, "Mandy, are you okay?"
Mandy came to her senses and said slowly, "Nathan, Iâm fine. Itâs just⦠I hit Eve, and the surveillance camera recorded it."
Nathan's frown deepened, and he squinted his dark eyes. "You hit Eve, and the surveillance camera recorded you? Where are you now?" he questioned.
"Iâm in the hospital, in Adrianâs ward," Mandy replied.
"Donât go anywhere. Wait for me at the hospital, Iâll be right there." Nathan's face fell. He immediately picked up his coat from the back of his chair as he stood up.
Nathan knew what kind of person Eve was. Eve was a woman who liked to cause trouble, and she wasnât afraid of doing so. Even if she did get herself into trouble, someone always cleaned up after her. Nathan guessed that if she had the opportunity, she wouldâve called the p
o called the police. She said that Ms. Zhou had beaten her and gave her a concussion," the policeman explained calmly.
Daisy stared at them with doubt as they explained to her. âDid Mandy really hit Eve in the hospital?â she thought to herself. âDid Eve have a concussion? Thatâs a good thing! Eve deserved it.â Daisy had no sympathy for Eve. Instead, she applauded Mandy for doing such a thing.
Mandy had always been a woman who had no interest in competing with others. She never liked to argue or beat people. If what the police said was true, Daisy assumed that Eve provoked Mandy first.
Daisy stared at the police quietly without saying a word.
The head of the police couldnât wait any longer and said with a raised voice, "If you donât believe me, Mrs. Jin, you can go to the fifth floor to have a look. Miss Su is hospitalized in the orthopedics department."
"Donât talk nonsense! I donât believe you! Slander could land you in prison. Show me your evidence first." Daisy suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter at hand. The police could be telling the truth, but this matter would put Mandy at a disadvantage. As Mandy's mother-in-law, her priority was to protect Mandy at all times.
