My dear lawyer

Selina didn't know Vivian had been admitted to hospital until the day before her discharge. As soon as she learned that, she was angry at Grace and went to hospital in a hurry.

She arrived at the hospital with some fruits and food. She was really stunned to learn that William had booked an entire floor in the hospital just for Vivian. But when she was in the ward, her heart ached for Vivian, seeing her shoulder full of scabs and wounds. "Who did it? It was that bitch Angie, wasn't it?" Selina said with righteous indignation, holding her fists tight as if she was ready to fight.

Vivian held Selina's arm and said, "No. It wasn't her. Don't be impulsive. I'm all right. It's just some minor wounds."

"How come you are all right? Vivian, when can you change your character? Just as the saying goes, if you render good for evil, how will you recompense kindness? Why don't you understand?" Selina was so angry at Vivian's weakness that she poked her hand on her head.

Vivian was moved. She giggled and said, "Don't worry. I'll be tough when I'm supposed to. It's so nice to have you Selina. Thank you!"

Selina was chilled hearing Vivian's words, "Why are you so emotional? I'm telling you I'm not into women!" She said and murmured something else. Vivian just smiled at her. She knew Selina was just shy.

William came in with Roe, and Selina became gloomy, thinking of how she was thrown away by order of William the other day.

Ignoring Selina, William came up to Vivian with the food and soup just as what he had been doing these days and said, "Here's the meal."

Selina looked at William with astonishment and was about to ridicule William when she realized that Roe was with them. She zipped her lips and showed her long face instead.

William didn't care about it, placing the food in silence and then he said, "I will leave Roe with you this afternoon, as I have something to attend to."

Vivian nodded, assuring him of that.

When William left and the door was closed, Selina couldn't wait to ask Vivian, "What's wrong with William? Why is he suddenly so nice to you?"

Vivian didn't want to talk about it, shaking her head. She was also confused herself.

"Let's eat and put aside other things until we finish our meal." Vivian stopped Selina from asking more. Selina pouted and didn't continue to discuss this topic any more.

When William arrived at the law firm, Alexander handed the documents to him immediately and said, "William, we just got these documents from Mr. Daniel. Please have a look. Mr. Daniel hopes that you can accompany the people from his company on the court the day after tomorrow."

Was Daniel trying to watch on him? William sneered and said loudly, "Tell Mr. Daniel I will be there then."

As soon as Alexander left, Joe came in.

"What's up?" William asked raising his eyes at him.

Joe loosed his tie as if he was not used to it and said, "I found something. Would you care to have a look?"

William took over the documents, looking at the malicious Joe suspiciously. Then he laughed out, "It looks like Daniel is still worried."

Joe nodded, "I felt suspicious when I saw Six-ears with Alan. Daniel should either keep Six-ears besides him as his Man Friday or crack him down. Instead, he sent him to Alan. It turned out he sent a spy to Alan openly."

"Alan is not an idiot either. Keep a close eye on Six-ears. If you find any proof, take it with all means," William said with a light in his eyes.

"What about Six-ears?" Joe asked, raising his eyebrows.

"He has lived much longer than he should," William said, tapping his finger.

Joe was stunt, but soon he replied with a fierce look, "Got it". They reached an agreement.

William assumed that Daniel should be taking some actions as the court session would be held in two days. He was kept busy these days, as he also needed to investigate the place where Eric worked with Daniel.

Vivian was accompanied by Roe and Selina's visit also cheered her up. The next day, Vivian was discharged from the hospital, and Selina came to pick her up with James, who was fully responsible for their safety. He didn't need to come himself at first, but William asked him to help take care of them in case there was any accident.

"Mom, look, it's Uncle John," Roe said, holding Vivian's hand. He was the first to notice John.

Vivian was stunt and turned her head to find John standing on the step not far away. He was looking at Vivian eagerly. Vivian bit her lips, not looking well.

"Vivian, may I have a minute with you?" John came over, looking at her sadly. She had lost quite some pounds, looking haggard yet with light in her eyes. Was it because of Roe or William? John couldn't help thinking about it.

Selina had no idea what was between them, so she came up to check on them and found Vivian was hesitated. She said, "Why not leave Roe to me and talk with him, if he does have something for you."

Vivian nodded, fondling Roe's head and then walked with John.

"I'm so sorry, Vivian. I didn't anticipate any of this. I'm so sorry for what happened to you." John said seriously with guilty.

Vivian had gone through a hard time in the hospital, especially in the first few days when she was so scared that she couldn't fall asleep. Thinking of those nightmares, it was impossible for Vivian to say it was all right,. She could finally feel better, so she really didn't want to look back upon those bad experiences.

Vivian said, shaking her head, "I know you have nothing to do with all of it. Roe is stilling waiting for me. I need to go now if that's all you want to talk with me."

"Wait," John said holding her hand, "Vivian, our... our marriage..."

"John, I understand I shouldn't blame you. But there's one thing I want to know. Did you know who kidnapped me?"

John hesitated, avoiding her eyes and nodded reluctantly after a while, "Yes, I did."

Vivian felt blank for a second. It turned out he did know it. She asked him simply because she suffered from injustice and it was an impulse while she hesitated. She really didn't expect this. Well, now she knew it with a kind of relief, so she asked directly, "What are you gonna do?" What was he gonna do, not as a friend but as a fiancé?

John bit his teeth, swallowed slowly and said, "Vivian, I will do my best to make it up to you."

Vivian looked at him, disappointed.
