Chapter 200: The burden to bear
Jia leaned forward with a grim expression. "Whatever you told me right now, will you say the same in court?"
Yu Heng was flabbergasted. "Testify against Bro Long? Are you crazy? No way! He will kill me!"
"He won’t kill you because he will be in jail. Your brother and sister-in-law are painting themselves to be pitiful parents, but if the court came to know that Yu Long actively searched for a shady doctor which coincided with the time of the surgeries, it will be proved that there was never an accident."
"Don’t get me into this mess, please!"
"This is not any mess. This is you trying to help your niece! You already shed away your responsibilities multiple times in the past and now it’s time to compensate at least a little. Besides..."
She leaned back, folding her arms. "If you don’t assist us, then that’s also fine. But keeping information from the police will get you in trouble anyway. A little child was made to go through such a horror, so as a doctor, you understand that this is a very heinous crime, right?"
Yu Heng swallowed a gulp.
"The law is even stricter with crimes against children. Withholding the information will also make you a suspect and partner-in-crime."
His eyes widened. "No, no, no! I have got nothing to do with this!"
"Keep explaining that to the court but nothing will save you if you choose to help your brother. Trying to protect him will make you guilty in the law’s eyes as well."
Yu Heng was deeply troubled. Neither he wanted to help Yu Long nor the law. He was stuck at a rock and hard place.
