The policeman smiled and said, "Mr. Clement, I will handle this matter personally."
"Thank you so much!" Buddy's face was full of gratitude.
Hearing this, the man in black was completely dumbfounded. It seemed that he was in a big trouble. Buddy actually wanted to deal with it himself. Didn't the woman say that everything would be fine? Moreover, she said that Buddy had nothing to do with Zofia.
That was why he dared to do so.
He had scored an own goal. Since that woman dared to fool him, he would not let her go.
He glanced at Buddy, and his face was drained of all colour and animation.
After those gangsters were taken away, Buddy looked at Zofia cautiously.
Abigail walked barefoot and carried a stool over, "Zofia, come and sit down."
Graciella helped Zofia sit down.
"Zofia, why don't we go to the hospital first?" Buddy said. Looking at her pale face, he was very worried.
Zofia shook her head slightly, "No, I'm fine."
Grandma Clement came over and looked at her, "Zofia, are you okay? Don't force yourself. If you don’t feel well, let's go to the hospital."
Zofia glanced at Grandma Clement's loving eyes and then shook her head slightly.
Buddy introduced to her, "Zofia, this is my grandma."
Zofia nodded with a smile and greeted Grandma Clement obediently, "Grandma."
"Mm! Oh, what a good girl. You must be scared just now, right? You can rest assured that as long as I'm here, no one dares to stop you from being with Buddy. Take care of yourself and the baby, and you can leave everything here to Buddy. After you get married and give birth to the child, you can work if you want. If you don't want to work, you can stay at home. It's up to you."
Grandma Clement's words were undoubtedly the kindest.
Many daughters-in-law of rich and powerful families didn't go out to work, because working made them feel shamed.
But after hearing what Grandma Clement said, even Graciella was a little surprised, "Wow! Grandma Clement, when did you become so open-minded?"
Grandma Clement looked at her with a frown, "What are you talking about? Was I not open-minded before?"
Graciella muttered in a low voice, "Humph, you're always an old fogey."
Hearing this, Grandma Clement said harshly, "Are you scolding me?"
"Oh!" Graciella was shocked. Grandma Clement was old, but she had good hearing.
"Haha..." She forced a smile, "No. How dare I scold you?"
"Well, Buddy, can you buy me a pair of shoes?" Abigail took a look at her feet. Standing with bare feet made her feel so cold, and she would get sick.
She hated coldness very much.
Zofia looked at her and said apologetically, "Abby, I'm sorry. Thanks to you just now. But our shoe size is the same. I bought a pair of nice high heels. I want to wear them after the child is born, and they are new. Why don't you put them on first? It's very cold on the ground. Didn't Eden say that you feel the cold a lot?"
Abigail was stunned. She glanced at Zofia and felt warm in heart. Eden and Anson both remembered that she felt the cold a lot, but Joziah couldn't remember it.
She was so careless and casual. No wonder she had divorced.
No, she couldn't think like this. In this society, many young people divorced.
Graciella earned her own living. She couldn't judge her life with prejudice.
She suddenly looked sideways at Zofia and said with a guilty face, "Zofia, I'm sorry for what happened before. I shouldn't have said those words to you. At that time, I didn't know what was wrong with me. The business of our family was not going well, so I wanted Buddy to marry a girl whose family is rich. But after I found Eden, I learnt that she had been trying her best to live a better life. Both of you and Eden are hard- working. Then I understood many things. You and Buddy love each other. Eden was bullied by me, but she lived with a strong heart."
"But later, after thinking about this matter, I could understand you and Buddy. I asked Eden to make an appointment with you, and I wanted to apologize to you face to face."
If she could live until 80 years old, she was already in her fifties. She had spent most of her life, but she didn't figure out the meaning of life.
Reputation was not the most important thing. She would live a hard life if she cared about her reputation too much. Happiness was that they could live together in harmony and keep a kind heart.
Her current state of mind had totally changed, and she knew the reason.
Her daughter once lived such a hard life in the Gienger family. As long as she thought about it, her heart ached severely.
If Zofia's mother knew that she insulted Zofia that way, her heart would be as painful as hers.
Hearing her words, Zofia burst into tears uncontrollably.
She said with tears, "At that time, I was very desperate and lost the courage to live. I chose to commit suicide. When I jumped into the river, I was still in despair."
"It was Eden. She jumped into river to save me regardless of her own life. In order to let me survive, Eden told me about her experiences. At that time, I learnt that in the world, there were people who lived more miserably than me."
