Okay no excuse for not having the next chapter posted…
Chapter 12
Jing-mei sat on her couch with a book in her hand. Dave had said he just wanted to be alone, so she had left him alone. She was worried about him, he was drawing back more and she could see that he was getting depressed, he had steadily been getting depressed since when Michael was first taken from him. And now he was shutting himself up from the outside world, refusing to participate in even the most normal tasks.
This charge was affecting Dave more than anyone could of guessed. His eyes were now constantly red brimmed, and he was loosing weight. The dark circles under his eyes held the truth that he was not sleeping, and he was probably drinking. He was in self-destruct mode and she didn't know how to get him out of it other than him getting his son back. But how was she supposed to do that when they had no proof that it was Ivy that was beating her child? How was she supposed to prove that Dave was innocent when all the evidence was against him?
"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?"
"I do"
"You can be seated Dr. Chen."
"What kind of doctor is Dr. Malucci?"
"A good one."
"Then why was he fired from County?"
"A mistake…"
"Must have been a big one…"
The trial had been a disaster. There was no way she could make up for what she had done, the damn lawyer had twisted her words around until she didn't know what she was saying anymore…
Okay I know this chapter is short, but I'm going to try to get in everyone's point of view, and it's a challenge but I believe it will be good for this.
