Glancing at Matthew, Zachary left these people behind and hurried out. Serenity had already put Sonny in the child safety seat and was about to drive.
“Serenity, I’ll drive.”
Zachary quickly pulled Serenity out of the driver’s seat and stuffed her into the back seat of the car so that he could drive.
Serenity did not argue with him. She picked up the unconscious Sonny and wondered if the little boy fainted due to shock or pain. “Go to the nearest hospital.”
Without needing her reminder, Zachary would head to the nearest hospital too.
The car quickly drove away.
Serenity hugged Sonny tightly as her distressed tears fell on him.
Sonny was such an adorable kid, yet he had to suffer all this.
Along the way, the couple did not speak since Serenity was not in the mood to. She was afraid of what would happen to Sonny.
Serenity would not let the Reptons get away with it if anything bad happened to Sonny.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital.
As soon as Zachary parked the car, Serenity rushed out with Sonny in his arms.
“Doctor! I need a doctor!”
Serenity ran wildly while shouting for a doctor, attracting countless people’s attention.
The doctors and nurses were alarmed by Serenity’s cries. Serenity did not care what specialty the doctors were in. She grabbed one at random and quickly begged him. “Doctor, please save my nephew! He was abused and he fainted.”
The doctor quickly took Sonny from her and ran to the emergency room. Other doctors and nurses followed.
A nurse reminded Serenity. “Since the child was abused, you should hurry and call the police.”
The nurse then hurried away.
Serenity followed them. After Sonny was taken into the emergency room, she took out her phone, wiped away her tears, and called the police. When she spoke, her voice choked up, and the emergency operator gently comforted her and told her to calm down.
At that moment, Zachary came over and took the phone from her hand. He explained the situation to the operator clearly.
“Zachary…”
Serenity turned around and fell into his arms. She covered her
face as tears streamed down uncontrollably.
She had not cried like this for a long time. After the death of her parents, Serenity and Liberty had gone through life’s ups and downs, so they had long learned to be strong.
However, at this moment, Serenity could not control her emotions any longer. She thought of Sonny’s red and swollen face that was marked with fingerprints with blood tainting the corners of his mouth. She thought of how Sonny was so afraid that he could not make a sound. When Sonny fell limp in her arms, Serenity felt scared and powerless.
Zachary hugged her tightly.
“Sonny will be fine.”
Zachary comforted her as well as himself.
“If anything happens to Sonny, I’ll make sure their whole family pays the price!” Serenity cried as she said such harsh words.
“Sonny will be fine. We’ll hand this case to the police. I told Callum to return the favor.”
“How could they treat Sonny like this? That b*stard is Sonny’s cousin. Hank gives his parents a living allowance every month, and Liberty said that it’s no less than five thousand dollars. They use it on Chelsea’s household, so Hank is practically supporting his sister’s family. Look at how his nephew treats his own son!”
Zachary said in a deep voice, “Parents are a child’s first teachers. Chelsea’s character had subtly influenced her children, which made them rotten to the core.”
Not long after, the door to the emergency room opened, and Sonny was pushed out.
Serenity and Zachary quickly stepped forward. She anxiously asked the doctor, “Doctor, how is my nephew?”
“The soft tissue on the child‘s face was injured, and one side of his thigh was bruised. Was he kicked? There are footprints on his clothes. Other than that, there‘s no other injury. He‘s unconscious because of the shock.”
The nurse was applying ice to Sonny‘s face.
“Who‘s so cruel to do such things to a small baby?”
The doctors felt distressed about what happened to Sonny.
Such a cute little baby was beaten until both sides of his face were black and blue. This showed how ruthless the perpetrator was for him to be so vicious to a small kid.
The abuser was simply mentally sick.
“His cousin.”
The doctor was speechless and thought, ‘What kind of grudge would someone have to pound their little cousin up this brutally?
“I took pictures of the child‘s injury earlier. You can keep them as evidence for the police. That way, you can sue the perpetrator.”
Serenity quickly thanked the doctor and took out her phone to add the doctor‘s contact details. After the doctor sent her the photos, she immediately forwarded them to Liberty.
“‘The child‘s injuries aren‘t that serious, but he’s seriously traumatized, so you should spend more time with him. He‘s still young, so he‘ll slowly forget about this trauma as long as someone‘s there for him.”
Serenity nodded repeatedly
“Thank you, doctor.”
Zachary thanked the doctor again.
“You‘re welcome.”
After the doctor left, the couple followed the nurses into a ward. Sonny was carried to a bed, and one of the nurses said, “He‘ll wake up soon and when he does, try to comfort him because he fainted from shock.
His face is still swollen, so you should continue to apply ice to his face for the next twenty four hours. After that, you can put a hot compress.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Serenity thanked the nurse profusely.
She sat on the bed and took over the nurse’s job of applying ice to Sonny’s face.
After a few minutes, Sonny woke up.
Sonny wanted to cry when he opened his eyes, but after he saw Serenity, he held back his tears. He then crawled over to Serenity and nestled in her arms.
“Sonny, don‘t be scared. Aunt Seren is here.”
Serenity hugged him with one arm and held the ice pack with the other hand as she coaxed him softly, “Sonny, let me apply this to your face so you can get better soon.”
Sonny‘s little hands were clasping onto Serenity’s clothes. After Serenity cajoled him, he was finally willing to lift his face so that Serenity could put ice on it.
“Zack, Serenity.”
Callum and the others came.
“How‘s Sonny?” Callum asked with concern.
“The soft tissue on his face is damaged. The doctor said to use ice cubes first, then a hot compress after twenty–four hours. One side of his thigh was also bruised from the kick. The main thing is that he fainted from shock.”
The physical injuries could heal easily.
On the other hand, Sonny’s mental trauma would take a long time to heal.
“How‘s that little b*stard?” Zachary asked in a low voice.
“I didn‘t hit him. Instead, I forced his dad to slap his face until the corners of his mouth were bleeding. We also trashed their house, then tliey threatened to call the police. I told them to go ahead and call the police because if anything happens to Sonny, the police can just arrest that little b*stard.
“Once they heard that, they didn‘t dare make a sound.”
