Trapped with a Doctor novel Chapter 270

Teresa was puzzled by this. "Arvin has saved Angela. Why is Angela still upset at him? Was it not Arvin that saved her?" asked Teresa.

"No. No. What I am saying is that Arvin did save Angela, but Rosa was also there. That foolish boy saved Rosa first! Eh!" Lily answered. Lily was getting angrier at the mere thought of it, so she stood up from the sofa, ready to find Arvin.

Susanna sighed with relief, continued to eat her melon seeds, and said, "I was wondering what the fuss was about. I'm not crazy about Angela being with Arvin anyway. It's only you who insisted on it. And now look! Rosa has a serious heart condition but Angela is still blaming Arvin for not rescuing her first. That does not sound very considerate of her. Arvin has a lot to worry about being married to a childish person like Angela. But if he had married Nita, things would..." She stopped, as she saw the disapproving eyes of her mother-in-law.

Susanna didn't like Angela because of what she did to Nita. She would rather have Angela and Arvin fight and get a divorce soon.

"Nita, Nita! Do you know that Nita is a wanted criminal now? She is wanted by the police. Do you want Arvin to marry that kind of woman? Susanna, what are you thinking about?" Lily said in a harsh tone, as she was still very mad.

Susanna realised that her mother-in-law was agitated by what she had said, so she decided to hold her anger for the moment and said, "Mother, Nita was set up. All right, I won't talk about it any more. Don't be angry, mother."

Lily hummed coldly, stood up from the sofa, and said, "Song, have the driver take me to Yao Hospital."

"Yes, madame, " answered Song. Then he went to find the driver.

Teresa was also worried about her son's relationship with Angela. She said, "Mother, let me go see Angela first." She knew that her third son Arvin was sometimes dull and indifferent in these situations, so she was worried whether he could successfully comforted Angela and make Angela change her mind.

Lily thought for a moment and shook her head, "Angela must be very upset. Let her be alone. Do not disturb her now. We will go visit her in a few days."

"Okay, mother." replied Teresa. Teresa helped Lily get into the car.

The moment her car drove away, a BMW pulled up at their gate, and out came James and Finn.

Finn went over to Teresa immediately, grabbed her hands and said chokingly, "Teresa, please... save Nita. She couldn't have done something like that... There must be some kind of misunderstanding." Finn had tried to reach Arvin several times, but Arvin kept avoiding her. So, she had no choice but to come to the Gu family's house.

Because of Nita, the Zhens had not been able to eat or sleep at all. They both looked a lot thinner and stressed out.

As a mother, Teresa could relate to their feelings. But she said, "Finn, it's not that I don't want to help. You know I liked Nita a lot. I wanted her to marry Arvin and be my daughter-in-law. But, now you see, Nita is a wanted criminal. The police are looking for her. It's the police that are after her, not I. So, it is of no use begging me for help."

Finn started to get nervous, "Teresa, Teresa... It was Arvin. Arvin called the police. He also sued Nita for assaulting Angela. Not only that, Nita and Derrick's wedding was also ruined by Arvin... Teresa, please help me. Please ask Arvin to let my daughter go. I know he has a lot of connections. He can call the whole thing off about Nita if he wants... Please, I beg you!"

Finn cried out loud and intended to kneel down many times to beg Teresa, but Teresa kept stopping her.

"Finn, you know my son. If there is something he wants to do, he won't stop at anything until he accomplishes it. At first, I was against him being with Angela. He didn't listen to me. Eh! Now our children have grown up and developed their own thoughts. We can't stand in the way now..." Teresa showed her own difficulties, and refused to honour Finn's request.

If Nita really had committed the crimes she was being accused of, then Finn should really consider putting Nita in the custody of the police to allow her to reflect on what she had done. Nita could even be released early if she could display signs of good behaviour.

Finn and Teresa had had a good relationship since before, but now that Teresa wasn't willing to help her, Finn had no idea who to turn to...
