“Lauren!”
Suddenly, Lauren Torres heard someone calling her name. She looked up and realized Franklin Torres had come to pick her up.
She quickly ran to Franklin Torres’s side.
“Brother! Why are you here?”
Franklin Torres hugged Lauren Torres and said, “Ben told me about it. The hospital is quite close to the company, so I came to pick you up.”
After saying that, he looked at the other two people in the ward and nodded at them.
“Brother, this is Ruby Cromwell, my good friend from kindergarten.”
Franklin Torres greeted Ruby Cromwell and Carina Bailey.
“Then we’ll make a move now. There are still people waiting for us to eat at home. If there’s anything you need help with here, feel free to let me know.”
Lauren Torres nodded as well. “Yes, Ruby, Miss Bailey, if there’s anything you need help with, I’ll always be available.”
Carina Bailey also stood up and walked over to Lauren Torres’s side to praise her.
“It’s all thanks to Lauren that Ruby was able to come to the hospital in time. Otherwise, who knows how long it would take to discover this.”
“Ruby is my good friend. It’s only right for me to do so. Ruby, I’m going back now.”
On the way back, Lauren Torres told Franklin Torres about what had happened in the ward.
“The police took her mother away?”
“Yes, Brother, why do you think mothers would beat their children? Is it because they are not their biological children?”
What puzzled Lauren Torres the most was if Susan Harding had been beating Ruby Cromwell, then her acting skill was too good.
She was simply a perfectly good mother in the normal days, including just now when she rushed to the hospital. She looked very anxious.
Franklin Torres didn’t know much about it, so he didn’t simply comment.
“There are all kinds of people in the world, but beating children is definitely wrong. What about Ruby’s father? Didn’t her father stop it?”
“I just heard from Ruby that her father hasn’t been home for a long time.”
If it had been a long time since he last came home, he shouldn’t have been dead. It could be a divorce or something.
But if their children were injured and he didn’t even come to visit, probably the parents had some relationship problems.
However, the last time Lauren Torres visited Ruby Cromwell, she saw the photo frames in the living room were full of photos of the three of them. Moreover, Susan Harding did not have a job and was a full-time housewife. Therefore, Ruby Cromwell’s father was definitely responsible for the expenses of Ruby Cromwell’s family.
This meant that her father must still be in contact with them.
