499 After the Raid - Part 9

Sunday, continued …

After hearing what was said, it took Anna over fifteen minutes, wrapped in Hou Yi's arms to get to the point Hou Yi felt comfortable to ask "Sweetheart, are you OK to call Alecia and Jas?"

Despite Anna having settled, Hou Yi when he looked in her eyes could see how much she was hurting, but with those few words he could see that she was trying her best to put her hurt aside to start to deal with the reality of the next few hours.?Anna took a few deep breaths, still trying hard not to cry and nodded at Hou Yi, who dialled Jas' mobile. It imdiately went to ssage bank, so he left a brief ssage for Jas to call him if he had not reached him and Alecia.

Then, he tried Alecia's number and it started ringing, and after three rings, Alecia picked up "Uncle Yi, what are you calling for?"

"Alecia, where are you and who is with you?"

"Uncle Yi did Dad put you up to call and check up on ?"

"Alecia, answer the question?" Hou Yi spoke in a firm voice.

"Uncle Yi there is no need to be like that.?You are only about thirteen years older than , so …"

"Alecia stop being smart," snapped Hou Yi.

Alecia on the other end of the phone realised that Hou Yi was getting angry with her, so she stopped trying to be witty.?"I am with most of the family for lunch. Susan and Jas are on a day shift at the hospital, and he is coming to pick up when he finishes in a couple of hours."

"Alecia can you get Rosemary and go into a quiet room.?I also need you to promise that you will have Jas call , but if he cannot reach call Anna." responded Hou Yi firmly.

"Uncle Yi you are scaring …"

"Alecia, promise or I will have your father call you.?You will not like it if he calls."

"Fine Uncle Yi."

In the background Hou Yi and Anna, given the phone was on speaker could hear Alecia in speaking Rosemary.?A few minutes later they heard a door shutting before Alecia spoke again.?"Uncle Yi, I have you on speaker and I am with Rosemary. We have gone into one of the children's bedroom and shut the door."

"Thank you, Alecia.?Does Rosemary know what happened last year?"

"No, only Jas knows."

"OK.?That makes this sowhat challenging, but …"

Anna could see that Hou Yi was struggling to be able to talk about what happened without saying anything Alecia might not want said.?Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Anna spoke "Alecia sweetheart, we have information that the person who you believed was mainly responsible for what happened in fact is not. He was manipulated into being involved and those responsible was his father and his father's best friend.?They fild what they did, and it was intended to be used to blackmail your father and Yi for business ans."

"What we know is the person who recorded what happened kept the one copy in existence.?He has handed it over to the police on the promise for them to support a lesser sentence and that it is kept as secret as possible to protect you.?The police here later today are about to announce the person responsible is being charged."

Both Anna and Hou Yi, as Anna was laying out the initial information that Alecia was crying on the other end of the phone and that Rosemary was trying to comfort her.?Anna wished that Jas was there but given he was on a placent shift at the hospital there was little that could be done.

A few seconds after Anna finished speaking both Anna and Hou Yi could tell that Alecia's phone was taken off speaker and Rosemary asked "What in the world was all that about. She is a wreck."

"Rosemary you need to get Jas for her as soon as you can," said Hou Yi.?He was concerned for his goddaughter's wellbeing and Jas was the only person who could help her.

"Yi, Anna, his placent shift does not finish for about three hours, there is nothing I can do."

Hou Yi could see Anna was struggling to deal with this as well so he said ""Rosemary, eight months ago Alecia was attacked and raped by two people.?The person who we thought was the key person in the attack was not.?It has co out that he had been blackmailed into isolating her so his own father and a friend of his father's could drag her into a dark area where they repeatedly raped her."

Hou Yi paused for a second to consider what he needed to say next, then continued.?"They fild the attack with the main perpetrator intending to use it to blackmail both Alecia's father and I for business reasons.?The police are going to hold a press conference here in a few hours as the main attacker has been charged not only with Alecia's attack but s*xual abusing several young girls among other charges.?Alecia has just been hit with a reality that she did not expect though."

Rosemary was stunned on the other end of the phone and angrily said "Damn it, why were we not told. Yi, you thought we would kill you with respect to Anna and not telling us what as going on, now you have it again."

"Rosemary calm down.?Alecia and Jas made their choice, but she will need her husband to help her cope presently.?I just need to explain everything to him so he can be there for her."

After discussing the matter for about five more minutes, Rosemary had promised to have Jas call Anna as soon as possible, and that she would make sure that Alecia was OK until she was with Jas.
