Soon, Martin Weiss received a report from his men that the Gregory family, the Mitchell family, and the police had gathered and were about to head to a private hospital in +Mason Swansonty.
Martin Weiss’s face darkened at that. After ending the conversation, he said to Kyla, “I’m afraid that the Mitchell family, the Gregory family, and the police have already located Amber Mitchell. But I don’t know if Amber Mitchell’s preliminary mental evaluation is done.”
Kyla was shocked. “They’ve found her?”
“It’s highly likely. Call Grace and ask if they’re in this hospital,”
said Martin Weiss.
Kyla hurriedly made the call. Grace was already aware that the Mitchell family, the Gregory family, and the police were on their way. However, Grace still comforted Kyla by saying, “Don’t worry, I’m prepared for that. They can’t take Amber Mitchell away so easily even if they come.”
“When will the results of the evaluation be out?” Kyla asked quickly.
“It’ll take at least another hour. Okay, don’t overthink it. Get some rest. You’re not alone now. You’re pregnant,” said Grace.
Though she was consoling Kyla, there was obvious solemnity and apprehension on her face.
As far as they knew, there were many policemen making their way over, including senior police officers of Deer City.
They were indeed in the wrong. Louise Mitchell was Amber Mitchell’s legal guardian. Once they found Amber Mitchell, they could stop the evaluation and take her away.
An hour was all they had.
Even if Jason and Brian had sent their bodyguards over to stop the other party and found various ways to delay their arrival, could they delay things for an hour?
Grace was silent, while Jason and Brian said nothing. However, their faces seemed relaxed.
Even so, Deer City was not Emerald City. They would face many restrictions in Deer City.
On the other hand, Kyla said to Martin Weiss, “I want to go over. Why don’t you drive me there?”
“It’s late, and it’s inconvenient for you to go over. Grace also told you to rest,” said Martin Weiss.
“But Amber Mitchell…”
“Is Amber Mitchell that important? Is she worth risking your health and the life of the baby you’re carrying? Grace and the rest are already there, while my men are still following the Mitchell family’s men. Even if the Mitchell family finds Amber Mitchell and takes her away, your presence won’t make a difference. There’s nothing you can do about it!”
Kyla paled and hesitated for a moment. Then, she turned around and took her wallet before putting on a jacket. She wanted to go to the hotel’s entrance.
Martin Weiss suddenly grabbed her. “Do you still want to go after I’ve said so much?”
“I have to go. Amber Mitchell’s my friend. Even Grace, who has nothing to do with Amber Mitchell, is trying her best to help Amber Mitchell. How can I not go?”
“What can you do after you get there?!” shouted Martin Weiss.
“Protect Amber Mitchell. Perhaps having one more person there might help delay things for another minute,” said Kyla.
“Don’t forget how you insisted on keeping the baby. And now? Have you stopped caring about the baby in your belly because of Amber Mitchell? There’s bound to be some conflict, and there’s no telling what might happen when you go there. I won’t forgive you if anything happens to the child,” Martin Weiss said coldly.
“Martin Weiss, you’ve never had someone control your life. You’ve never lost your freedom or experienced pain. You don’t understand what it’s like. If someone helped you when you were in a situation like that and gave you hope to continue living, you’d naturally feel indebted to them!”
Kyla’s voice struck Martin Weiss’s heart like lightning.
She did not directly accuse him of anything, but every word she said sounded like accusations. The way she looked at him even made him so embarrassed that he could not explain himself.
Martin Weiss’s grip loosened, and Kyla left the hotel room briskly.
Moments later, Martin Weiss seemed to come back to his senses and ran out. However, he only saw Kyla hailing a taxi to leave.
‘This woman!
‘Doesn’t she know how dangerous it is to act alone in her condition?’
Kyla got out of the car with her big belly, and Martin Weiss’s car quickly arrived soon after.
Martin Weiss immediately lunged forward to pull Kyla as soon as he got out of the car.
“Let go. The Mitchell family is already inside! I need to go over!” Kyla said quickly.
“So what if you go? Is it really only for the sake of getting one.
more minute?” Martin Weiss asked.
“No, I can get more time. I called the media when I was in the taxi. I want to make a big deal out of this, but…” Kyla paused. “I’ll take responsibility for everything. You don’t need to go in, lest the press target you. If Amber Mitchell’s diagnosis confirms that she’s mentally ill, then I’ll say that I tricked Grace and the rest. I tricked Grace and her family into doing me this favor.”
Kyla’s words shocked Martin Weiss.
He did not expect that Kyla, whom he thought would be of no help in this situation, would make such a decision.
What had gone through her mind when she made the call to ask the media to come over? What was it like for her to make such a desperate decision in the car?
If the final diagnosis said that Amber Mitchell was indeed mentally ill, Kyla intended to take all the blame. She would become a joke for believing in mental patients and dragging down her innocent friends who trusted her.
She would shoulder all responsibility. In this way, she would be the real culprit and would be blamed, while everyone else would be relatively unharmed.
Martin Weiss’s thin lips were almost pressed into a straight line before he said, “Don’t forget that we’re husband and wife!”
“I’ll say that you weren’t aware of anything, and I did everything of my own accord. You only came to Deer City to visit my friends with me. You didn’t know I would do all this!”
said Kyla.
Martin Weiss had mixed feelings. ‘What is… this woman doing?
Is she protecting me?’
Since when did he need a woman to protect him?
When he accompanied her to Deer City, he had already prepared to get himself involved.
“Come on,” Martin Weiss said suddenly.
“What?” Kyla was dumbfounded for a moment.
“Aren’t you going there to buy some time? Then go in. It’ll be pointless if you’re late. I’ll go in with you, but I have one.
condition. You must hold my hand and not leave my side,” said Martin Weiss.
Kyla froze as she was in disbelief at what she heard. “But if you go in with me, that means you…”
“Do you think I can say I have nothing to do with it now?
Instead of thinking about what will happen to me, you should pray that Amber Mitchell isn’t really mentally ill!”
Martin Weiss said as he held Kyla’s hand in one hand and took out his phone in the other to make a phone call. “Get all the media you can contact now. Hurry. I’ll give you the specific address in a moment, but be quick…”
After finishing the call, Martin Weiss turned to Kyla who was still motionless and said, “Since you intend to make a scene, let’s make it a big one!”
Kyla only felt a surge of warmth flowing within her chest.
It was as if the man would always be there for her and handle everything for her no matter what happened.
When Kyla and Martin Weiss found Grace, the Mitchell family, the Gregory family, and the police were already there. The two parties were locked in a stalemate.
Grace had Jason, Brian, and Martin Weiss’s men protecting her, but there were still too few people.
Besides, there were police officers there. The police warned that they would arrest them right away and sue them later if they did not get out of the way.
Grace was in the wrong.
