Chapter 93: Digging About Reema
The room fell into an awkward silence, Natalie’s slap echoing in everyone’s mind. Sabrina stumbled at the force, her hand reaching out to hold her burning cheek. Her eyes widened with shock, not expecting out of everyone her sweet, kind daughter-in-law to hit her.
"How dare you-" Sabrina shouted, taking a step forward but Natalie’s expression made it hard to appear confident. She looked around for someone to take her stand but everyone simply stared at them, with Avery barely holding her snicker.
"Don’t ever try to hit me again, Ms. Grey," Natalie warned, her voice as strong as the steel. With a sigh, she continued, "I am not your son’s wife anymore."
Fredrick frowned at the news and looked at Dominic’s assistant standing at the door, behind Sabrina. Did they sign a divorce already? He thought, guilt washing over him for neglecting his son all these years. If he hadn’t left with his ex-wife, Dominic would have been living with a better life.
"And nor is my brother your dead daughter’s murderer," Natalie added after a brief pause, making Sabrina realize the reality, and digest the fact that she was the real culprit, the very reason Katherine was not here with them. "So you have no right to take it out on us anymore."
"What do you mean?" Fredrick questioned, his frown deepening at Natalie’s words. It seemed like she was indirectly accusing Sabrina about his sweet Katy’s death. He glanced at Jonathan and Zevian before looking at Sabrina who was silent, her shoulders dropped in shame.
Sabrina’s eyes lowered to the ground, her hand pressing against her burning cheek. The more they tried to remind her, the worse it became for her to accept it, drowning deep in denial. Gritting her teeth, she looked up and retorted, "And you have no right to take care of my son. Only I can do it!" Her eyes moved to Fredrick, conveying she was against whatever they were plotting to snatch away her son.
Dr. Mathew felt the tension in his office suffocating and sighed out loud. He cleared his throat and tried to end this discussion for now, "We need to observe him for at least a week and can only shift to Arecamia."
Fredrick clenched his fists as Sabrina’s silence spoke volumes earlier, the sting of Natalie’s words hanging in the air. Without another word, he grabbed Sabrina’s wrist firmly but not aggressively, pulling her towards the exit. Sabrina resisted, her heels dragging against the floor, but Fredrick’s hold tightened as he spoke through gritted teeth.
"We’re talking about this, Sabrina. Now."
Her shoulders tensed, and she opened her mouth to protest, but the firm grip he had on her left no room for argument. She glared at Natalie before being dragged out of the room. The door clicked shut behind them, leaving an awkward, heavy silence.
