I'll Support You

Gina was also done with her emergency medical treatment. Her head was wrapped in bandages, and her legs were still limping.

When she saw Gina coming out, Laurie immediately stopped crying and quickly went over to help her.

"Sis, are you alright?" Laurie looked at Gina up and down anxiously. Upon ascertaining that she was in good condition, Laurie then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Why are you so silly? Why didn't you say that I did it?"

Gina already knew that Laurie had told the police the whole story in the interrogation room. It was completely different from what Gina had instructed Laurie at home.

She knew that her younger sister didn't want her to suffer, but she also didn't want Laurie to go to jail because of her.

When he saw that the two sisters were so sad that they were about to cry again, Mike quickly walked over. "I will bring you two to have a medical examination now."

The policewoman had already checked Gina's injuries and confirmed that she still needed to go to the hospital for a checkup. This matter would not end so simply.

Claude also walked over. "He's my friend, Mike. He works in the Ministry of Public Security. It will be better if he is present."

Laurie and Gina thanked Mike profusely before the four of them got into the car together.

Along the way, Claude held onto Laurie's hand tightly, but he didn't ask her anything.

When they arrived at the hospital, Mike brought Gina to have a medical examination. Laurie wanted to follow, but when she saw the nightgown on her body, she gave up.

At this moment, there were only two people in the car, and the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward.

"I was in the wrong today," Claude said solemnly.

Laurie didn't understand what he was talking about. She asked in confusion, "What?"

"I already noticed that something was wrong with your brother-in-law yesterday. I should have been more vigilant and not left the two of you alone at home. I'm sorry."

As she looked at Claude's sincere gaze, Laurie was at a loss. "No, it's not your fault. It's all Gary's fault…"

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and told Claude everything that happened today.

After listening to Laurie recount everything, Claude asked, "So you really knocked him out?"

Laurie simply nodded.

Although she might go to jail because of this, she didn't regret it. If she had another chance, she might have kicked Gary out from the beginning and not let him have the chance to hurt her elder sister again.

"Well done!" Claude looked at her with pride. "You certainly lived up to the expectations of being my wife. You should be brave when facing the enemy. You did well!"

When she heard Claude's praise, Laurie blushed and looked at him in embarrassment before asking, "Will I go to jail? My actions were considered legitimate self-defense, right?"

"Now you are fearful?" Claude raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He suddenly found the whole situation funny.

Although Laurie was in a sorry state in the interrogation room, her gaze was determined and she did not show any signs of fear. It was only now that she realized she was afraid.

"I'm.. I'm a little scared." Laurie nodded honestly.

She then looked at Claude with some worry. "If your wife goes to jail, will it affect your future prospects in the army? Will it become a stain on your reputation?"

She had noticed that Claude was wearing a formal military uniform today. It was obvious that he had some important work to do, but because of her, he had to come to the police station before he got off work. This made Laurie feel very guilty.

"Of course, it will." When he saw Laurie's expression, Claude suddenly wanted to tease her. "After all, you're my wife. The review of my political record might be affected in the future."

"Then… then what should I do?" Laurie grabbed his arm nervously. "Why don't we get a divorce now? This way, everything will have nothing to do with you. I haven't been sentenced yet, right?"

"Divorce?" Claude grabbed her hand in response and looked at her with narrowed eyes. "Now you want a divorce? Too late!"

Laurie instinctively felt that he was a little upset, but she didn't know why he was upset.

"Forget it. I probably won't get a long sentence," she said softly. "There's a bank card in the pocket of my second coat inside my bedroom closet. It's the 100,000 dollars I told you about last time. There's also a bank card in the second shoe box in the shoe cabinet. It's the three months' salary the company gave me when they dismissed me."

Laurie tugged at her clothes a little uneasily. "Also, I didn't touch the bags you gave me last time. I think you can get a refund. If you save up this sum of money well, it should be enough for a while. If it's still not enough, if I don't get a long sentence and you're not affected, I'll look for a job to support you in the future."

At this moment, Mike, who had just opened the car door, heard the funniest joke he had ever heard in his life.

His voice changed slightly as he asked in disbelief, "You're supporting him?"
