Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 103: Chapter 103

"Madam, please head home for now. We only go by evidence, and without it, we can't make any promises. But if your account proves true, she will be released once our investigation is complete."
Eleanor was about to follow the police when Kevin gently held her back.
"Grandma, you really shouldn't keep following the police. Normally, this is just the investigation phase. If they can't find any evidence within twenty-four hours that Stella actually pushed Anna, she'll be released right away."
"But..." Eleanor hesitated, her voice laced with worry. "How unbearable it must be in there. She's already suffered so much. How can I let her go through this again?"
"Grandma, how about I find a lawyer to bail her out?"
Eleanor immediately perked up. "Yes. Please, find a way. You must find a way. No matter how much it costs, I'll cover all the expenses."
"No need, Stella and I are close friends. Of course, I'll help her if she needs it."
Eleanor patted the back of his hand in satisfaction, entrusting everything to Kevin.
Kevin thought finding a lawyer would be a piece of cake, but little did he know, Troy had already caught wind of it. "Well, well, my dear brother," Troy drawled with a mocking smile. "What brings you to the law firm?"
Kevin didn't even bother to respond. He simply turned and walked away.
Troy smirked at his retreating back and then strode into the law firm to inquire about the matter.
When Kevin got the call saying the lawyer had declined his case, he didn't suspect anything yet. He went from one law firm to another, only to find that none of them would take his case.
Suddenly, it hit Kevin. It had to be Troy. After he left, Troy must have found out what he was planning and started blocking him at every turn. But that wasn't gonna stop him.
Kevin called a female classmate from his college days. She was a lawyer, and he knew she'd help. As expected, Stella was released.
Although her mind seemed clear, her body was clearly failing. Without hesitation, Kevin scooped her up in his arms and carried her all the way home.
Max had just come back from the hospital to pick up some things for Anna when he saw Kevin carrying Stella in his arms. His face darkened with fury. He snarled, "Kevin, why the hell did you butt into our family's affairs?"
Kevin glared at Max, fury blazing in his eyes. If he weren't holding Stella, he would've punched Max right then and there.
"Max, Stella is your sister, too. How can you be so sure she pushed Anna down, instead of Anna just falling on her own?" Kevin challenged.
Max sneered, "Are you even listening to yourself? She rolled down on her own? Like that's possible?"
"This isn't the first time Anna's pulled something like this. Why is it so impossible to believe she'd do it again?"
Max jabbed his finger toward the hospital wing and snapped, "Anna's fighting for her life. We don't even know her condition yet. And you're telling me she did this to herself?"
Kevin scoffed, "Every single time, she's supposedly at death's door, but she never actually dies, does she?"
Max was about to throw a punch when Eleanor stopped him cold. "Max! You are not to lay a hand on Kevin. Until this matter is fully investigated, Stella is innocent."
Max shot Eleanor a sharp look. "Grandma, aren't you playing favorites? Even if you trust Stella, that's just the Stella from before. Three years out there, she's a completely different person now. She might even turn on you. Stop trusting her.
"Besides, if she weren't so scheming, how could she have possibly managed to get herself out of that godforsaken place?"
