"Hugh! Don't test me! If you push me, Sophia and his brother will end up dead!"

Hugh sneered, "I'll go to the police and report you!"

"You!" Jonas raised his right hand again, but this time, Hugh blocked it before he was hit.

Hugh shook off Jonas' arm, making Jonas stagger a little. He held onto the table to keep himself from falling down. "Bastard! Get out!"

Hugh left without turning back, only to find Hermosa standing outside the room in tears.

Hugh looked at her worriedly. "Mother..."

Jonas heard Hugh's call from inside the room and immediately felt his heart drop. Hermosa was surprised at the sight of Hugh storming out the room, but then, her surprise turned into deep disappointment at her husband.

The man she had been living with for over 30 years turned out a murderer! If Hermosa hadn't heard the fight, she would've never known.

"No wonder Lucy doesn't go home anymore, and our son doesn't want to see you... Jonas... It turns out you're a horrible person!"

Jonas felt slightly stunned as he stared his wife. "Hermosa, stay out of it. Go to the room and get some rest!"

"Jonas, the death of Sophia's mother... Did you really cause it?" Hermosa held onto the last glimmer of hope as she looked at her husband.

After hesitating for a while, Jonas said harshly, "Hermosa, go back and rest!"

Hermosa looked at him heartbrokenly.

"No." She took Jonas' hands anxiously. "Jonas, you should surrender yourself to the police and apologize to Sophia..."

"How is that possible!" Jonas looked at Hermosa in shock. He pushed her off so hard, that Hermosa crashed directly into the wall.

Thump!

"Mother..."

"Hermosa!"

Both father and son quickly helped Hermosa up. Hugh flung off Jonas' hand in anger. "Mother, are you alright?"

Hermosa's head immediately started to swell. She shook her pale face. "I'm fine. Just help me to my room."

Hugh supported his mother in his arms as they walked back to the room.

He called the family doctor. After the examination and medical prescription, Hugh left when he was certain she was all right.

That night proved to be a sleepless night for many people in A Country.copy right hot novel pub
