“Oh hey there, little girl.” I crouched down in front of her, still stretching my clasped hand a bit to my front to let her held my hand and to make sure I didn’t hurt her while I sit. I mean, I am 6’1 and she’s a cutesy pie- I mean about 3 to 4 feet tall, so I don’t want to cause any damage or scare her either way.
“Hello.” Her tiny and cute voice greeted me back. She then let my hand go and began to fidget shyly while fumbling the end of her small hospital robe.
I smiled. “What are you doing here, sweetheart?”
She giggled, probably happy that I called her that way. I too am happy to see her smile.
I paused a bit when I felt a hand caressing my back before I felt a subtle push. Then I saw Elaine also crouching beside me, using my body as a support as she bent down.
“Hello there.” Elaine chirped in a soft tone.
The girl immediately blushed and

(Asher’s POV)“Mom, what is the meaning of all this?” I called my mother soon after I finished reading the news. Meanwhile, Elaine is in a daze on her bed.“It heightens my mood to hear you so energetic in the morning, son.” My mother dithered.“Mom…!” I retorted, getting a bit annoyed.My mother loudly cackled, entertained that she managed to irritate her son. My mother can be like this sometimes.“Alright, I’m sorry, my dear.” My mother finished her laugh. “So it’s like this, apparently our allies increased. I received a report from the police HQ that multiple reports and requests of arresting Rose Chadwick was received in just a short amount of time yesterday, which was why the police was able to apprehend her using the arrest permit.”My mother suddenly giggled again. “I’m just impressed by how fast things progressed.”&ldq

(Two weeks later…)Based on the number of squirrels and birds going outside and begin collecting nuts and berries, and twigs for their nests, the seasons have displayed their apparent change. From the smouldering hot summer to the chilly cold weather of the autumn, time passed by Maplewood, like many other places. Yet, a figure is looking at itself in the mirror restlessly, hopping at one place while huffing and puffing as it tried to calm itself.Not too far from the jumpy figure, separated by a wall, there was a sound of people talking briefly, followed by the sound of knocking on the door.“Elaine?” A muffled male voice asked from the other side.The jumpy young girl separated herself from the mirror to turn her head towards the door.“Come in.” She heard her voice skidded a bit, indicating her nervousness. While she swallowed, a male clad in a three piece suit and tie entered the room. His emerald pair of eyes sta

“Mister Nathan!” Elaine shot up from her seat. Asher who was sitting on the seat beside her turned to look at her, before his eyes shot up to see Nathan.“Mister Michaelis!” Asher paused a bit to look at his back. “Is Miss Jonas still not here?”Nathan smoothly shook his head and formed a half smile, saying “She had some matters to attend, so I will be the only witness for today.” As he still didn’t tell the two of them that Nikita is in coma.Elaine shot a worried look at Nathan, before giving it to Asher. “Will only one witness be enough to support the evidence?”“Probably.” Asher threw his gaze to the empty defendant’s table. “Let’s just hope that snake didn’t bring her wales inside the courtroom.”A few minutes after he said that, Rose Chadwick appeared from behind the doors with a couple of police who’s holding her restrained.

GaryMeanwhile, Rose Chadwick flared in disbelief and hatred. There are reasons why Gary Chadwick wasn’t his wife’s attorney. The first one was to avoid biasing, as Gary and Rose is related, the second one was because Rose didn’t trust Gary anymore to be her attorney because he allowed her to be arrested, an the last one, was because her husband was supposed to be killed so he won’t be able to come to the court today to be a witness. Yet unscarred, Gary Chadwick came with his limbs still attached, as if the group of 20 people Rose Chadwick hired were never there to target him.“You want to make a statement for the plaintiffs?” The judge reaffirmed.

Did I call at a wrong time?”“What? No, not at all. It’s just…” I pursed my lips. “Anyway, what are you doing right now?”“I just took a bath and was on the bed.”“Oh.” I chuckled. “It’s still about 8 and a half in the evening, yet people are so tired.”Elaine replied my statement with a chuckle. “No doubt about it.”The silence between us ensues.
