Chapter 92
Rosa commanded gruffly, “Let’s go! Come with me to the police station right now and tell them to release my son. Otherwise, your mother won’t have a peaceful surgery!”
Aurelia clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. She knew Rosa would do anything for Seth’s sake. She had no choice but to swallow the bitterness in her throat.
“I can go, but I want you to promise that you and your son will never disrupt me or my mother’s life again.”
Hearing this, Rosa glanced at the ward door and then cast a casual look at her. Her tightly pursed lips revealed a few lines that made her seem particularly harsh.
Rosa’s gaze wasn’t just focused on her; it was evaluating her. However, Rosa’s acting skills were not as polished as Seth’s. Thus Aurelia saw through her intentions.
Rosa couldn’t immediately agree to her request because she feared Seth would never find another woman like her again.
A local woman whose father had passed away, whose mother was critically ill, who had no siblings, and who didn’t demand a dowry. Marrying her meant that everything left by her parents would belong to Seth. It was a huge advantage, and how could their family bear to give it up?
Aurelia understood this but didn’t show it. She calmly reminded Rosa, “Mrs. Martinez, if I don’t intervene and help resolve this, given Seth’s actions, he’s likely to be held in custody for at least two or three days.
“That means he won’t be able to return to work as planned on Monday. Imagine what his boss and colleagues will think when they find out about his arrest?”
With this reminder, Rosa became fearful. The greatest pride of her life was giving birth to Seth, and there was no way she would let him jeopardize his career.
“Alright! I agree!” Rosa huffed.
“Mrs. Martinez, it’s better to be clear. What are you agreeing to?” Aurelia asked.
“I agree if you go to the police station to reconcile and have Seth released, neither I nor Seth will come to bother you and your mother again!” Rosa reluctantly repeated, wearing a defiant expression on her face.
In that situation, it was just the two of them, and who had been keeping tabs on what had been said or promised?
Even if Rosa had decided to backtrack later on, what could Aurelia have done about it?
When Rosa arrived at the hospital earlier, she had asked around. Not many people in this intensive care unit made it out alive.
Moreover, the critical point was that Aurelia claimed to be married, but her husband hadn’t even visited his mother–in–law. No one on the other hospital beds had heard her mention being married.
Wasn’t it evident that she was lying? What police station could verify her marriage? It was probably just a ploy to deceive Seth and break up with him.

2/2
No way!
If Aurelia wanted to drag it out, then let her. She was already 25, and the longer she dragged it out, the less valuable she became. Once her mother passed away, Seth could go and console her, and everything would be fine again.
Aurelia captured all of Seth’s mother’s smugness and insolence and raised her phone.
“Mrs. Martinez, I’ve recorded it.”
“You…”
“Mrs. Martinez, if you ever come to disturb me again, everyone in Seth’s company will have a copy of this recording.”
“You bitch! You deserve to be an orphan! What are you without Seth?”
“If you dare to talk nonsense again, I won’t go to the police station.”
Rosa was about to say something, but she restrained herself and let out a cold snort.
Aurelia didn’t want to argue with her anymore to avoid affecting her mother’s surgery at the hospital.
“Let’s go.”
After saying that, she walked towards the elevator, with mumbles coming from Rosa, who followed her downstairs.
On the way to the police station, Aurelia still felt uneasy. She absentmindedly took out her phone and discovered more than a dozen missed calls from Millie. Due to the commotion in the hospital just now, she hadn’t heard a single one.
All of them were from Millie. She wondered if something had happened during her blind date.
