I looked at him coldly, without a trace of emotion in my heart.
Bonnie, on the other hand, became so angry that she trembled all over and couldn’t help but retort.
“Antonio, don’t you have any shame left?”
“You almost caused us to lose our lives, and now you want to argue!”
The judge knocked the gavel, signaling everyone to remain quiet.
He carefully examined the evidence we submitted, including surveillance footage, witness testimonies, and the hospital’s diagnosis report.
Finally, the judge announced the adjournment and scheduled a date for the verdict.
When Bonnie walked out of the courtroom, her emotions were still somewhat stirred up.
I patted her shoulder and comforted her in a soft voice, “Don’t worry, the evidence was solid, he couldn’t escape.”
Bonnie nodded; her eyes filled with a hint of gratitude.
“Grace, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I might have given up a long time ago.”
I smiled, my tone calm.

“Don’t thank me, I just did what I had to do.”
A few days later, the court pronounced its official verdict.

Antonio was sentenced to ten years of imprisonment for the crime of attempted murder with intent.
At the moment she heard the verdict, Bonnie finally breathed a sigh of relief, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
I stood beside her, but there wasn’t much joy in my heart.
This case involved an extramarital affair, and I successfully obtained the divorce certificate, with the majority of the property being divided.
I just didn’t expect that this matter would actually make it to the headlines.
Bonnie instantly became the talk of the school, with people pointing and whispering about her every day.
She was pushed to the limit and even resorted to cutting her wrists to commit suicide.
This is all what Bonnie’s mom told me over the phone.
She wanted me to help persuade Bonnie.
I arrived at the hospital, and Bonnie was lying on the bed, her face pale as paper, with thick bandages wrapped around her
wrists.
She saw me come in, and a hint of complex emotions flashed in her eyes, including guilt and grievance.

“Why were you so foolish?”
I sat by her bedside and gently reproached her.
She bit her lip, tears swirling in her eyes.

“Grace, I couldn’t take it anymore. Walking on the street, everyone was pointing and staring at me. I felt like a monster.”
I held her hand and said, “You made a mistake, but since you have already turned around, don’t keep dwelling in the shadows of the past.”
Bonnie smiled bitterly.
“But I lived in pain every day, and the past events haunted me like a nightmare.”
“We all made mistakes, what matters is how we come out of
them.”
I looked into her eyes; my gaze determined.
“You are still young, and there is a long road ahead of you in the future. Listen to me, take a break from school for a while, go for therapy, and take good care of yourself.”
Bonnie fell silent, for a long time, and then she whispered.
“Could I really get better?”
“You could definitely do it. Think about your parents, for them, you also have to strive to live.”
The reason why I agreed to come and persuade Bonnie.
The biggest reason was Bonnie’s mother.

Bonnie was very lucky to have a pair of parents who loved her very much.
I hoped that she would cherish it well.
“Thank you, Grace, for being able to forgive me after I did so much harm to you.”
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her gaze towards me was filled with gratitude.
“Grace, I will try my best to get better and not disappoint my parents anymore.”
I couldn’t help but sigh.
“It would be good if you could figure it out.”
Coming out of the ward, I happened to run into Bonnie’s mother.
She looked at me with some gratitude and said, “Thank you, Ms. Parrish. Thank you for being willing to help me persuade Bonnie to come out, regardless of any past grievances.”
“Stacey, you don’t have to thank me, it was just a small effort.”
I waved my hand and said indifferently.
“Stacey, I had something to do, so I left first.”
She nodded and said, “Okay.”
