Chapter 287 Weak Makes Right
The next morning, after breakfast, Emily planned to take the two children and grandmother back. Lucas did not stop them and personally drove them back. However, when they arrived at the community, they found that there were a lot of people around the community entrance, including media reporters. “What happened?” Lucy looked out of the car and asked curiously. Emily and the two little ones were also puzzled. Lucas frowned and parked the car on the street. He unfastened his seat belt and said, “I’ll get out of the car and take a look. You wait for me in the car.” “I’ll go with you.” As Emily spoke, she unfastened her seat belt and followed him to open the door and get out of the car. In this regard, it was not easy for Lucas to stop her. Just like this, the two of them came to the edge of the crowd. Just as Emily was about to find someone to ask what had happened, someone saw her and suddenly shouted. “Isn’t this elder miss of the Armstrong family? Old Madam, the person you are looking for is back.” When these words came out, it was as if water had fallen into a pot of oil and exploded. “Doctor Armstrong is here.” “Doctor Armstrong, you are finally back.” “Doctor Armstrong, if you don’t come back, the old lady will die soon.” When Emily heard these words, she was stunned.
What happened? She looked at Lucas in confusion. Lucas shook his head lightly, indicating that he did not know what was going on. However, he saw that there were so many people at the scene, he pulled Emily behind him and stood in front of Emily in a protective posture. Emily naturally noticed his movements, and a warm feeling flashed through her heart. It was at this time that the crowd that had surrounded them suddenly opened up a path, They saw Li Dongqiang’s mother, supported by a kid about seven years old.
When Emily saw her, her expression did not look too good. The old lady didn’t seem to notice Emily’s cold expression. The moment she saw Emily, she directly knelt down to Emily. Her voice was choked with sobs as she pleaded, “Doctor Armstrong, please let my son go. I know that my son is in the wrong, but I only have this one son. If he goes to jail, how will I and my grandchild survive!” Emily was stunned. “Your son broke the law,” she said, frowning. “I don’t have the right to release him.” Unfortunately, the old lady did not listen to her at all. “Yes, as long as Doctor Armstrong does not pursue the matter, my son will definitely be fine. I only have one son. Doctor Armstrong, just take it as pity on me and let him go.” The old lady begged again and even pulled her granddaughter to beg him to follow her. The child immediately looked at Emily pitifully with red eyes, “Auntie, can you let my father go? Apart from Grandma, I only have my father.” Hearing this, Emily felt a lot of pain in her heart. She was also a mother. Since she had a child, she could not bear to see the child suffer a little. However, this wasn’t a matter of whether or not she wanted to settle it. It was a matter of principle. The surrounding crowd gradually couldn’t bear it anymore and began to speak up for the old lady “This old lady is quite pitiful. She only has one son. If her son goes to jail, how can she live with her sick granddaughter?” “Yeah. Anyway, isn’t Doctor Armstrong fine now? If so, then just spare him.” “Yeah. It’s such a cold day. Do you have a good conscience to make a sick old man kneel on the ground?” Hearing these words that gradually turned into condemnation, Emily only felt very sad and wronged. Her eyes could not help but turn red, and she clutched the corner of Lucas’s clothes tightly, not knowing how to speak. Lucas also noticed the change in her mood, and then listened to the high- sounding words around her, directly laughing. “What, weak makes right now? Have you forgotten that the son of the poor old lady you are talking about is a person who can even murder his mother for money?” When these words came out, the people who were originally pleading for the old lady were immediately choked speechless. Looking at the people around him who were silent, Lucas sneered coldly. His voice was full of sarcasm. When the
people around him saw him like this, some of them were so embarrassed that they wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. Lucas no longer paid attention to these people. His cold eyes fell on the old lady and the child. “As a mother, you don’t care about the harm your child has caused you. That is because you are his mother. However, others have no obligation to pay for the mistakes your child has made. To put it bluntly, your child has fallen into this state because of a bad upbringing. You spoiled him. You made him!” When the old lady heard this, her entire body trembled. Then, her shoulders collapsed. She seemed to have aged ten years, and she sobbed. “What can I do? I only have one son. I also want to teach him well, but he has a bad temper. No matter what I say, he won’t listen.” Looking at the old lady who was crying sadly and desperately, Emily couldn’t help but walk out from behind Lucas. She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Have you ever thought that it is not a bad thing for him or you to let your son go to jail? Since you can’t teach your own child well, let society teach him. Maybe you can see a different person when he gets out.”
