"I'm accompanying Emily to buy pepper spray. She and her mom encountered a pervert a few days ago. You can't let me take care of your mom all day long."
"Can you not be so selfish? Can't colleagues help each other?"
Listening to Mathew's cold tone, I suddenly felt how ridiculous and pathetic I was.
I didn't mention my mom, but Mathew wanted to slander us.
I suddenly felt relieved.
He was still Mathew, who was righteous. As a policeman, he would enthusiastically help anyone who needed help.
What had changed was his attitude towards me and my mom.
"Really? Then you're really a busy man."
I hung up the phone sarcastically and followed the police back to the police station.
No matter what, I must not let my mom die without understanding.
Sitting on a cold chair in the police station, I flipped through all the evidence with bloodshot eyes, hoping to find some clues from it.
When I flipped to the last page, the missed call history made me shiver as if I had fallen into an ice cave.
At first, I was worried about my mom and didn't want to go on a business trip, but Mathew repeatedly encouraged me to pursue a better myself on a business trip.
