The day after Yolanda Greenwood was discharged, Judge Liam Dawson, who was in charge of the divorce case, ca by.
"Congratulations, congratulations, you’re a mom now," Liam Dawson said, looking at the little one in the stroller and repeatedly praising how cute they were, "Yolanda, you must have been cute as a child too. This little one smiles so much."
Yolanda looked fondly, "Yes, the little one loves to smile, though I don’t know what they’re so happy about."
"Happy to have such a beautiful mom," Liam Dawson straightened up and looked at Yolanda, "By the way, wasn’t it supposed to be twins? Where’s the other one?"
Yolanda’s smile faded a bit, "With... Cooper Coldson."
"Oh, sorry, I overstepped," Liam Dawson noticed Yolanda’s mood changing, imdiately adding, "Are you still determined to divorce?"
"Judge Dawson, let’s talk outside," although knowing that Little Ella couldn’t understand, Yolanda still didn’t want to bring up divorce in front of the child.
Liam Dawson understood and nodded, "Let’s go."
Yolanda called in the postpartum doula to look after Ella and went to the living room with Liam Dawson.
"I won’t change my mind about the divorce," Yolanda remained firm.
Liam Dawson nodded knowingly, "What about the children... are you thinking each takes one?"
"No." Yolanda quickly shook her head in urgency, "Cooper Coldson took An An, he’s the father, I couldn’t stop it."
"That Cooper Coldson..." Liam Dawson gritted his teeth, "what a jerk."
She reassured Yolanda, "But rest assured, if you two divorce, since the child is still breastfeeding, the court is likely to favor you. However..."
She seed a bit resigned, "But in such matters, the fear is always that the other party won’t agree, and there’ll be appeals back and forth, the child... will suffer too."
Hearing this, Yolanda’s eyes turned red, and she didn’t know what to say for a mont.
"Yolanda," Liam Dawson gently patted Yolanda’s arm, "So my suggestion remains, try talking nicely with Cooper Coldson, convince him to voluntarily relinquish custody, that’s the best approach."
Yolanda nodded, but she knew in her heart it was nearly impossible for Cooper Coldson to give up custody.
"Right, I ca today not just to see you two but also to inform you about the next court date," Liam Dawson reminded Yolanda, "The third hearing, and it’s the last chance, you have to attend."
She added, "At least you must attend. If Cooper Coldson doesn’t show, the court will proceed with the divorce ruling."
Yolanda understood, she knew the divorce would finally co to an end, "Okay, Sister Dawson, I’ll be there for sure, when is it?"
"In ten days." Liam Dawson handed official docunts to Yolanda, "The court considered your situation and granted a three-day extension, is that okay?"
Yolanda nodded gratefully, "Of course, thank you, Sister Dawson, you’ve been a great help with this matter."
"No need to be polite, it’s my duty." Liam Dawson prepared to leave, "I’ll be off then, take care these days, see you in court."
"See you in court!"
After seeing Liam Dawson off, Yolanda still couldn’t cheer up. How could she possibly make Cooper Coldson give up his son’s custody?
She felt it was almost an impossible task.
At noon, unexpectedly, lissa Greenwood called, "Jaxon Greenwood has woken up."
"What?" Yolanda was so shocked she stood up, "What did you say?"
"Co to the hospital imdiately." lissa Greenwood quickly hung up the phone.
Lola Gold noticed sothing was wrong with Yolanda’s expression and imdiately asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Did sothing happen?"
Yolanda slowly lowered her hand holding the phone, nearly crying with joy, "Lola, my dad has woken up."
"Jaxon Greenwood?" Lola Gold was equally delighted, "That’s wonderful, really rciful heavens, so what now? Are you going to the hospital to see him?"
"Yes, I’m going now." Yolanda turned to go back inside to change clothes.
"I’ll go with you." Lola Gold put down her utensils and went back to change clothes too.
On the way, Lola Gold suddenly asked, "Oh, was it the hospital that called you just now?"
"No, it was lissa Greenwood." Now that she was calr, Yolanda also found it a bit strange.
"lissa Greenwood?" Lola Gold quickly glanced at Yolanda, "If Uncle Greenwood has woken up, wouldn’t there be new clues about the case when he was stabbed?"
"There should be." Yolanda nodded thoughtfully.
"Yolanda, do you think... does this have anything to do with lissa Greenwood?" Lola Gold asked tentatively.
At the ti of the incident, they all suspected lissa Greenwood, even feeling that if Jaxon Greenwood never woke up, in their eyes, the perpetrator would be lissa Greenwood.
But now Jaxon Greenwood had woken up, and lissa Greenwood actually took the initiative to call Yolanda to the hospital, wasn’t that a bit strange?
Was she not afraid of what Jaxon Greenwood might say, or... was there sothing else happening?
Yolanda shook her head, "I don’t know, let’s figure it out when we get there."
If they could get concrete evidence, they would never let lissa Greenwood roam free.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the hospital, and after Lola Gold parked the car, she went upstairs with Yolanda.
On the floor where Jaxon Greenwood was, Yolanda saw lissa Greenwood in the hallway from afar.
She exchanged a glance with Lola Gold and walked up together.
"How is it?" Yolanda asked as she took a look inside the ward and saw several police officers inside, evidently questioning Jaxon Greenwood.
She turned, puzzled at lissa Greenwood, wondering if Jaxon Greenwood’s near-death had nothing to do with her after all.
A faint trace of smugness flashed across lissa Greenwood’s eyes, and she pointed inside with her chin, "They’re questioning him; it should be over soon."
Yolanda nodded and asked, "Has the doctor been by? How is Uncle Greenwood’s condition?"
"Hehe..." lissa Greenwood chuckled softly, "Uncle Greenwood? Why keep pretending, shouldn’t you have addressed him differently by now?"
Yolanda frowned in displeasure, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said waking up is a miracle." lissa Greenwood shrugged, "Congratulations, you’ve got your dad back."
Yolanda found it increasingly strange. Previously, lissa Greenwood had promised that once she successfully divorced Cooper Coldson, she could take Jaxon Greenwood away.
But the current situation made Yolanda feel like lissa Greenwood was pushing Jaxon Greenwood away.
At that mont, the officers finished their questioning and ca out.
"Who is Jaxon Greenwood’s daughter?" the leading officer asked sternly.
lissa Greenwood remained still, so Yolanda stepped forward, "I am."
"Alright, Miss Greenwood, we have understood your father’s situation. Thank you for notifying us today,"
The officer shook hands with Yolanda, "Rest assured, we will expedite the case. Should there be any developnts with your father, please contact us promptly."
"Thank you so much!" Yolanda saw the officers out, "Take care, thank you!"
She returned to the doorway of the ward, still puzzled as she looked at lissa Greenwood.
lissa Greenwood walked over to a chair and sat down, "Go in and have a look, the old man has been waiting!"
