Chapter 450
Sonny was rushed to the emergency room, with other doctors and nurses hurrying behind. A nurse reminded Serenity, “Since the child was abused, you need to call the police right away.” The nurse then quickly left the scene.
Serenity followed closely behind. Once Sonny was taken into the emergency room, she pulled out her phone, wiped away her tears, and dialed the police. Her voice trembled as she spoke, prompting the emergency operator to gently comfort her and urge her to calm down.
Just then, Zachary approached and took the phone from her hand, clearly explaining the situation to the operator.
“Zachary…” Serenity murmured, turning to him and collapsing into his arms. She buried her face in his chest as tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
It had been a long time since she cried like this. After the loss of her parents, Serenity and Liberty had faced life’s challenges and learned to be strong. However, in this moment, Serenity could no longer contain her emotions. She recalled Sonny’s red, swollen face, marked with fingerprints and blood at the corners of his mouth. She remembered how frightened he was, unable to make a sound. When Sonny went limp in her arms, Serenity felt a surge of fear and helplessness.
Zachary held her tightly.
“Sonny will be okay,” he reassured her, trying to comfort both her and himself.
“If anything happens to Sonny, I’ll make sure their entire family pays for it!” Serenity cried out, her words sharp with anger.
“Sonny will be fine. We’ll leave this case to the police. I’ve already asked Callum to help us.”
“How could they do this to Sonny? That bastard is Sonny’s cousin. Hank gives his parents a monthly living allowance, and Liberty mentioned it’s no less than five thousand dollars. They use it to support Chelsea’s household, so Hank is practically financing his own abuse.”
“Sister’s family. Observe how his nephew interacts with his own son!” Zachary remarked in a deep voice, “Parents are a child’s first teachers. Chelsea’s character has subtly shaped her children, leading them to become rotten to the core.”
