Chapter 246
Standing at the door was a thin and small figure. He was looking at the scene in front cluelessly.
Little did he know his appearance created a commotion in the court.
Angeline's expression froze instantly when she spotted the kid. “Sebastian?”
She abruptly got up from the chair, stabilizing herself by holding onto the back of the chair. She was staring at Sebastian in utter surprise.
Isn't he supposed to be at the amusement park? How come he's here?
When David noticed Sebastian, hope appeared in his eyes. He shouted. “Come here, my son! Tell them I've never hit you, or I'll be put behind bars!”
Sebastian raised his head and looked at David, which instantly triggered him, causing him to have difficulty breathing. Beads of sweat even started to secrete on his forehead.
Elated, the woman beside David waved at Sebastian and added. “Yeah, come to us, Sebastian.”
They were putting a lot of pressure on Sebastian with their attitude, prompting the kid to keep walking backward as fear engulfed his whole being.
Noticing the expression on Sebastian's face, the worried Angeline left her seat and shouted in the judge's direction, “That's enough! The trial's over. Hurry and lock them up!” She then jogged toward Sebastian, reached out. and cautiously pulled him into her embrace. “Shh, I'm here,” she consoled.
Despite what Angeline said, the judge was still contemplating the case instead of directly giving liis verdict.
Unfortunately. this critical moment was exactly what gave David and liis wife an opening to exact revenge, especially when they could tell how frightened Sebastian was.
Showing an evil smile, David deliberately stated, “I'm your biological father, sweet child. Don't trust that woman. Come to us, and we'll love you.”
David's words pierced right through Sebastian's heart, and as though he recalled a terrifying memory, liis face turned pale and his body trembled.
“That's enough!” Angeline hollered at David, eyes filled with immense hatred. She then reached out a hand to caress Sebastian's back gently. “Don't be afraid, Sebastian. I'm here. Stay with me.”
Sebastian clutched his chest as liis face was dotted with sweat. Immediately after that, he passed out.
“Sebastian!” Angeline shouted.
Watching Sebastian faint right in front of her, she felt as if her whole strength had left her body and she nearly lost her footing.
When Sebastian lost consciousness, the atmosphere in the court became chaotic. The judge stood up and hit die gavel.
“Quick! Get an ambulance! And put those criminals in prison!”
It was not until the ambulance arrived at the court did Angeline return to her senses and walk out while carrying Sebastian into the vehicle.
There were no colors on die kid's face, and his body showed signs of turning cold.
Angeline's face darkened with every second. Widi rage in her heart, she forcefully knocked on die front seat.
“Please speed up!” she commanded die driver.
“Don't worry, Miss. We'll be on time for die child's treatment,” comforted the driver, which successfully calmed Angeline's pounding heart.
Not long after, the ambulance arrived at the hospital.
However, the sight in front caught Angeline off guard, as countless reporters and fans—holding placards—were standing outside the entrance of die hospital. There were so many of them it was impossible to get past diem.
Angeline's face paled at the scene. As she clenched her fists, a glint of coldness flashed across her eyes.
These people won't appear at the hospital for no reason, especially at such a time. Also, widi Sebastian's sudden appearance at the court, it's obvious that somebody plotted this whole tiling.
With no warning, Angeline once again fell into their trap.
Anxiously, the driver voiced. “What do we do? These people are truly nuts. Even the nurses can't get out because they blocked the way. If we delay this any longer, tilings might not be good.”
Angeline's face turned ashen when she realized the severity of the situation. She tided her best to cahn herself down.
These people obviously want me to get out of die car and personally admit that Sebastian's my child, but if I do diat, all those public relations I did in die past will be like a slap to my face, which could endanger my career. However, if I don't, Sebastian's life will be in danger. Like it or not, I have to make a decision.
After taking a deep breath, Angeline said, “I'll get out of die car and send diem away. I think not many people are at the back door, so please hurry and send Sebastian to die emergency room.”
“All right. Take care, then, Ms. Sorelle,” replied the driver solemnly as he nodded at Angeline.
Feeling relieved at liis words, the woman opened die car door and slowly got out of the vehicle. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as she was outside, die driver wasted no time driving away, which caused her to breathe a sigh of relief.
The reporters approached her and surrounded her, dropping questions one after another.
“Angeline, have you been lying to die public for all diese years? You said you don't have a child, but diat's not true, right?”
Angeline could barely open her eyes because of those blinding camera flashes, and the questions made her feel even more suffocated.
However, she had to keep her emotions in control. Looking at the cameras, she responded collectedly, “Yes. I indeed have a child, but I've kept everyone in the dark about this, and for that, I sincerely apologize.”
She bowed deeply to the crowd.
At last, die secret she had kept from die public for all diese years was now out in the open. In the entertainment industry, a female celebrity giving birth to a child was a huge taboo.
Such practice would bring damage to her reputation, specifically since she had risen to fame from her drama. The Journey.
Even so, Angeline strangely felt no regret. On the contrary, relief washed over her.
