Chapter 2 - Abrupt

Raphael took Rose to see a movie , and then they both went to an amusement park.

........

On The Drive Home.

*Ring * *Ring"

Rose looked at the caller ID and said out loud. " Firefly "

"Pick the call".

"Ok"

Raphael figured his cousin was just reporting that they were about to leave the hospital.

"Im ten minutes away, you-"

"Raphael come to the hospital right now, that scummy man is trying to steal the child! " . Before Raphael even finished sentence, Layla's cut him off with a roar.

Raphael slammed on the breaks and parked on the roadside.

"I'll be right there. Dont let them take the child out of the hospital. " Raphael said.

"What's happening?".

"My friend just gave birth, and the father of the child wants to take the child away".

Rose stared at him and said.

" Let's go now!!"

"Yes mam"

Because it was currently in the middle of the workday, there werent many cars out on the road. Disregarding a few traffic laws, Raphael turned steering wheel and made an abrupt U-turn, heading straight to the hospital.

.......

City Hospital, Neonatal Department, in a certain ward

Mom, give me my baby. Susan was begging her mother.

"Come home with me".

Mother Ren countered.

"Mom " Susan Ren glanced at John and his mother nearby.

She wasnt foolish. She knew what they wanted to do, but she couldnt make herself go back home.

"Auntie, are you just going to ignore Susans wishes and directly gift wrap your daughter and granddaughter to that Idiot? "

Layla unceremoniously attacked Mother Ren.

"How can a woman talk like this? This child is Johns and theres nothing wrong with keeping the family together". Mother Ren had long been fed up with Layla's aggressive speaking, so she replied unkindly:

"Youre just an outsider trying to destroy ot peoples families, what kind of heartless person are you?"

Layla was so shocked that she nearly chocked on her saliva.

*Slap!*.

The crowd stared in shock as an old man who looked like Susan slapped Mother Ren so hard that she fell in the ground.

"What nonsense are you letting them spout, Layla just directly call the police". Father Ren had had enough of his wife's traditional stupidity.

"Uncle were here!".

When John saw Raphael his brows instantly wrinkled. Compared to Layla spitting venom, he found dealing with Raphael to be a lot more difficult.

"Mr.Sparks Ill give you two choices. Raphael extended two fingers, One, you return Susans baby right now. Two, we call the police and say someones trying to steal a child."

"This is also my child ". Johns anger soared.

"Alright". Raphael sneered, "I'll give you a third choice. Ill go find a reporter and explain the situation in great detail. Then, I'll file a lawsuit and slowly drag it for as long as possible. Lets see which drops first, the lawsuit or Spark Groups stock price."

John glared at Raphael, but he looked back with even more intensity.

Raphael didnt have much patience and seeing that John wasnt saying anything he turned to Layla.

"Call it "

"No need ," at this moment Rose ran in and took out her handcuffs.

"You are under arrest for kidnapping".

"Yes! I can testify to that" . Layla who was silent spoke up.

"Wait! " Mother Sparks stopped Rose , if they all ended up at a police station, what would happen to household? The situation was becoming more and more chaotic.

She slowly approached Susan and carefully returned the baby to its mother, saying:

" Aunt Sparks didnt come here to steal a child from a mother. Auntie just hopes that you can give John another chance."

Susan took lost baby and couldnt help but shed tears. Carefully kissing the little childs forehead, she raised her head and said, "Thank you!"

"Mom! ". Seeing this, John couldnt help but call out.

"What? Do you really want to go to the police station.Arent you ashamed of yourself? ".

Although John was a domineering man on the outside, he dared not talk back to his mother.

" Lets go! "

Mrs Sparks could see that it was impossible for silly son to get back with Susan. Disappointed, she turned and left the room.

John was stunned. He looked towards Susan and the child in her arms. Seeing her on guard, his heart became too upset. In the end, he didnt say anything as he followed his mother out.

After the mother and son left, Susan let out a huge sigh of relief. She then looked towards dazed mother who let out a short scream.

Mother Ren felt like she had been hit in the head. Looking at daughter, she said: Fine, go fend for yourself.

Mother Ren turned around, and as if she suddenly grew several years older, she staggered out the door.

Raphael looked at her and muttered " How are you related to that crazy person".

When she had left, the room calmed down and Layla patted her chest in relief:

" I didn't know you called the police."

Ren stared at this idiot and said

"She's my fiancee "

"Ahh so she accepted, nice."

"Are you alright " . Raphael returned his attention to Susan.

" Yes , thank you ".
