She didn’t say anything, but she felt very warm inside. At times she needed someone to comfort her,
there was a person giving her strength beside her.
The corners of her lips turned upwards, and she smiled at him.
After more than twenty minutes, the car stopped at the City B prison.
The environment was spacious. Fortress-like walls rose from the ground, and the big iron gates were
tall, wide, and thick.
Jessica Lennon wasn’t officially executed and sentenced yet during the last time Dolores Flores visited
her.
Dolores’ heart uncontrollably pounded as she stood on the doorway. Her mother was imprisoned inside
of here. The people who eventually came out of here would have a criminal record on their profile.
People with criminal records would be discriminated by the people in the society even after they got
released.
Matthew Nelson stood beside her and held her cold hands, “Let’s go and get in now.”
Dolores nodded and said okay.
Boyce Shawn stood by the security area as he waited for them. Boyce took a few steps to go out and
greet them when they walked over. Then, he led them inside. They weren’t blocked from entering since
Boyce had arranged it already.
Boyce arranged Jessica in a separate visitation room with no guards, so it was very suitable for her to
meet with Dolores alone.
After they passed through the hallway and the multiple iron gates, they arrived at the lower room.
Boyce said, “She’s inside.”
Dolores took a deep breath. She had already adjusted her mood as they walked towards here. She
looked at Matthew, “I’m fine now. I want to meet her alone.”
Matthew tightly pressed his lips and let go of her hand, “I’ll wait for you outside the door.”
Dolores said she got it. Then, she walked to the doorway and took a deep breath before pushing the
door open.
A white compact fluorescent lamp hung on the ceiling inside the room. The walls of the four-sided room
were painted in white, and a rectangle table was set in the middle. Jessica was sitting behind the table.
She raised her head as soon as she saw Dolores.
Dolores’ heart fiercely stopped in that instant when she saw Jessica. She became skinny and dark, and
her face was etched by signs of aging.
Dolores felt that Jessica was still young before. But now that she saw Jessica again, she clearly felt
that she had gotten older already.
Jessica smiled, “You came?”
Dolores walked over and sat on the chair in front of the table across Jessica. She looked at Jessica’s
face, “I missed you.”
Jessica’s tears fell down because of this sentence.
She lowered her head to wipe her tears away. She also missed Dolores and the two kids. She had
watched them grew up little by little. They had never separated before.
This was the first time she hadn’t seen them for so long.
“I heard that you got sick,” Dolores thought that she wouldn’t be able to control her emotions when she
saw her. However, she was stronger than what she expected of herself.
She didn’t howl nor cry out loud in front of Jessica.
Jessica wiped away the tears on her face, “I’m fine. I know my own body.”
“But you don’t look good. Come do a checkup with me in the hospital.”
“Ah, I’m really fine. I just want to… Cough, cough—” A series of cough interrupted what she was about
to say.
Jessica covered her mouth.
Dolores firmly said, “We’re going to the hospital today.”
Every time Jessica coughed, her chest would hurt. She took a breath for a while, “I want to see Samuel
and Simona before going to the hospital.”
She knew her own body. Although she hadn’t confirmed it in the hospital yet, she could clearly feel that
her body was getting weaker day by day.
She knew that she might…
If she had to say what regret she had in this life, it would be not being able to watch the two kids grow
up to adulthood.
Dolores fully agreed, “I’ll let Boyce arrange it, and I’ll take you to meet with them today.”
After she spoke, she pulled the chair away and stood up. Then, she opened the door. Boyce and
Matthew were talking as they stood on the hallway.
It seemed that it was about the arrest of the vice mayor. The associated people had been arrested as
well.
“Don’t worry. No one can stir up trouble,” Boyce said.
Matthew was afraid that someone might want to take revenge. Although he let someone remove all of
Samuel Flores’ traces already, that woman went to find Dolores before she was arrested.
That woman didn’t know that Samuel was the one who uploaded the video. However, it happened due
to her stand-off with Dolores.
That was why she went to find Dolores to try to seek revenge.
However, Dolores was calm and wanted to call the police. She could only hide first. She didn’t expect
the police to find her hiding place that quickly.
“The higher-up officials are cleansing and fighting against violence, corruption, and bribery. So, he
coincidentally got into trouble with this matter. It won’t be dealt lightly,” Boyce said.
Matthew stood straight. The light shone from above and cast a very long shadow.
They didn’t notice that Dolores had come out.
She stood at the doorway, “Boyce.”
They both turned their heads around at the same time.
She closed the door and walked over.
“I want to ask you to do me a favor,” She looked at Boyce.
Boyce said without hesitation, “Go ahead.”
“I want to bring her out,” Dolores couldn’t bring the two kids here to meet with Jessica.
And she also needed to bring Jessica to the hospital for a checkup.
Jessica looked sickly. She didn’t look like she was in good health.
She was worried about Jessica’s health.
Boyce arranged this for Dolores to persuade Jessica to go to the hospital and see a doctor. So of
course, he also arranged for her to go out as well.
“You can take her out now,” Boyce said.
Dolores sincerely said, “Thank you.”
It was genuinely from the bottom of her heart.
“Don’t mention it, Dolores,” Boyce smiled and said.
This was nothing based from his relationship with Matthew.
Dolores took Jessica out that same day. She called Victoria Forbis at home and asked whether the two
kids were at home or not.
She was afraid that they would come home and Victoria brought the kids out.
“They’re at home. Do you want to see them?” Victoria asked.
Dolores said, “I’m bringing my mom home to see them.”
Victoria understood. She knew about Jessica’s matter, “Don’t you worry. I’ll settle everything down.”
Dolores replied and hung up.
After a short while, the car arrived at the Nelson mansion.
Jessica knew of Matthew’s villa, but it was her first time coming here to the Nelson mansion.
She always felt uneasy now that she was a criminal. Dolores walked over and took her arm, “This is
your children’s home, so don’t feel retrained.”
Jessica looked at her daughter, then she looked at Matthew who was standing beside her. She smiled
with teary eyes, “Thank you.”
Thank you for giving Dolores a home.
Matthew didn’t show any expressions. He stretched out his hand to move away the strand of hair
blocking Dolores’ forehead, “I should thank you for giving your daughter to me.”
Dolores looked at him and smiled.
She liked looking at his gentle look.
As Jessica looked at her daughter’s smiley face, she felt relieved. At the same time, she didn’t have
any worries anymore.
She seemed to have a good relationship with Matthew.
Her wish for the rest of her life was for Dolores to find a good husband and for the two kids to grow up
healthily.
At this moment, the gates of the villa opened and Victoria walked out, “Come on in. I’ve settled
everything already. There aren’t other people inside the house.”
She sent Jayden Nelson and the servants outside already. The two kids were the only ones inside the
house now.
Jessica didn’t really want to see too many people at this moment, since she was…
She didn’t expect Victoria to arrange it so well.
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. We’re a family, so you don’t have to be so polite,” Victoria looked at Jessica, “If
someone needed to say thank you, I should be the one thanking you for raising such a good
daughter.”
