Mr. Watson turned his gaze back to yton, his tone notably softer,


    "I''ve already been in touch with the legal authorities. They''ll send someone over to conduct a medical examination for Mrs. Hawkins. Rest assured, I''ll oversee that the Oceanopolis police handle this case fairly. Justice will be served for Mrs. Hawkins!"


    yton was visibly moved, his eyes welling up with tears,


    "Thank you, thank you so much! We''ll cooperate fully with the police. I really appreciate your efforts!"


    "It''s the least we can do. Justice may be dyed, but it will never be denied!"


    Mr. Watson nced meaningfully at Tarquin and Elysia, then said to yton with deep implication,


    "I know Mr. Hawkins has been having a tough timetely. Hang in there, your good fortune is yet toe!"


    With a son-inw like Tarquin, who would dare to mess with him again?!


    yton didn''t quite catch the drift, taking it as just a blessing from the inspector and kept expressing his gratitude.


    Taking charge personally, Mr. Watson had some officers take Mr. Murphy and the Murphy family back to the station first.


    The remaining officers interrogated all of the Hawkins family''s staff, taking anyone with discrepancies away for further questioning!


    Larry, battered and bruised, was temporarily taken to the hospital by the police.


    Dr. White, who had been through thick and thin with yton, took the chaos as a chance to slip away, prompting both the police and yton to send people out searching for him.


    Once the legal authorities arrived, under Elysia''s calming presence, they smoothly conducted a medical examination for Pam.


    Though the official results were not yet out, the examiners'' offhandments were like daggers to everyone''s hearts,


    "Judging by the scars, some are at least twenty years old. She''s been enduring abuse for so long; how could the family not have noticed?"


    "There are not many surface wounds, but the damage is internal, dense with needle marks on her bones. Clearly, this isn''t a one-time injury. It''s horrifying to think how many times she''s been subjected to this."


    "The damage to her stomach and intestines is also severe. She must have been forced to consume hot sauce and eat horseradish frequently to cause such irritation."


    Needle stabs to the bone, drinking hot sauce, swallowing horseradish...


    Just imagining the scene sent shivers down everyone''s spine!


    Elysia couldn''t hold back any longer. No sooner had the legal team left than she buried her face in Tarquin''s chest, sobbing uncontrobly. Pam, seeing this, panicked!


    "Irene, why are you crying? What''s wrong? Come here, let mom look at you."


    Elysia turned around and flung herself into Pam''s arms, crying her heart out.


    Pam sat by the bed, holding her, and cried,


    "Who has been bullying our Irene? Who is it? The viins, oh, the viins! Irene, don''t cry, honey, mom is here. I''ll protect you, I''ll make it right for you!"


    Seeing this, the three little ones couldn''t help but start crying too.


    Emmett cried the hardest, and Tarquin, with tears in his eyes, picked him up, while alsoforting Elliot and Evan.


    The Patel brothers also had teary eyes. Clenching their teeth, they grabbed a tearful yton and dragged him out of the room.


    Soon, sounds of a scuffle and yton''s muffled groans were heard from outside.


    No need to guess; the Patel brothers were giving him a beating!


    Elysia quickly wiped her tears, trying to go outside and break up the fight.


    Tarquin stopped her, shaking his head, "It''s inevitable."


    Pam had suffered so much cruelty for so many years, and yton, as her husband, bore an inescapable responsibility!


    Whatever the reasons, he had failed to take good care of Pam!


    So, it was only right for the Patel family to beat him; he deserved it!


    "A beating will let them vent, help them feel a bit better. The Patel family knows when to stop; don''t worry. I''ll go check on them in a bit."


    Though Elysia felt sorry for yton, she understood.


    She didn''t go outside, instead turning back tofort Pam.


    After the outside quieted down, Tarquin put Emmet down, asking the three little ones to stay with their mom and grandma, then he stepped out of the


    room.
