I had thought once we had children, he would change his way. However, I did not realize it was gold habits never died, because the beating and scolding never stopped.
When he heard that he also had to undergo the test, he became panicked and shouted, "Why should I? I did not drive the car!"
The police answered him calmly, "Just cooperate with us and do the test. It will be over soon."
"How dare you talk to me like that!" He yelled angrily. "Don't you know what kind of relationship I have with Chief Thompson?"
"Well. We don't care who you know. Just shut up, cooperate with us and take the test immediately."
When I listened to their conversation, I could not help but smile inwardly.
It was so lucky that the officer who was handling to accident this time was a young rookie who was not afraid of power. Otherwise, I was scared Fred could avoid being tested just because of his relationship with Chief Thompson.
I pretended to be an understanding wife and coaxed him, "Honey, it is already late and everyone is tired. Don't make it harder for everyone. Don't worry, just do the test. I will help you to take care of the rest."
