Awakened Housewife: Ignore Betrayer\u2019s Begs\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 339 Seeking Justice in Vain\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Stewart family?\u00a0<\/p>\n
63\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
At those words, the young nurse\u2019s expression shifted immediately. Under Scarlett\u2019s hopeful gaze, the nurse finally abandoned the idea of calling the police.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her back down, Naomi smiled faintly. \u201cSmart choice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a loud, contemptuous laugh, Naomi swaggered out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The nurse couldn\u2019t bring herself to meet Scarlett\u2019s eyes. But before leaving, she quietly placed her own phone on the bedside table, then hurried from the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett understood the nurse\u2019s difficult position\u2013she hadn\u2019t expected her to leave the phone behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she had it in her hand, Scarlett decisively dialed 911.\u00a0<\/p>\n
About ten minutes later, two officers arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first thing Scarlett said was, \u201cOfficers, I want to file a report and request a medical examination for documentation.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The officers agreed. \u201cWe\u2019ll arrange that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the exam was completed, Scarlett added, \u201cI was assaulted and nearly\u2026 attacked. I want those responsible held accountable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The officer taking her statement nodded. \u201cWe\u2019ll investigate this thoroughly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After offering a few words of reassurance, the officers left the ward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They returned before long.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sitting down beside the bed, one officer spoke, his expression apologetic. \u201cWe checked the surveillance system. The camera in this hallway\u2026 it was malfunctioning during the relevant time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett\u2019s heart sank.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Feeling a surge of frustration, she asked tearfully, \u201cWhat about other cameras? The lobby? The elevators?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her distress, the officer softened his tone. \u201cPlease try not to worry. We\u2019ve documented everything. We\u2019ll follow all available leads.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett felt a wave of helplessness. She wanted Amanda, Luke, Naomi, and Caleb arrested immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But with the police taking this stance, pressing them further seemed futile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they left, it dawned on her\u2013the Stewart family had likely covered their tracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even calling the police might have been pointless from the start.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, Scarlett lay awake, restless and uneasy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During morning rounds, the medical team filed in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though Scarlett was visibly bruised and battered, they offered only perfunctory glances before asking with routine concern, \u201cMs. Theron, are there any family members we should contact?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett didn\u2019t answer, just stared back with red\u2013rimmed eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The attending physician spoke gently, \u201cYour body is still very weak. Even if you\u2019re not observing a formal recovery period, you really shouldn\u2019t be alone right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, Scarlett remained silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing her resistance, the team moved on without further comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After they left, a hollow ache in her stomach reminded her she hadn\u2019t eaten since the previous day\u2013not a meal, not even a sip of water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She could barely sit up, let alone go downstairs to the cafeteria.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor was right about one thing\u2013she needed help.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But who could she turn to?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Contacting her own family was out of the question. If Nathan found out, his temper would surely lead him straight into a confrontation with the Stewarts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damian had crossed her mind, but she\u2019d decided against involving him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nolan was just a colleague\u2013dragging him into this would only complicate his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That left only one person, however cold he might be\u2013Vincent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she used the nurse\u2019s phone to call him, he answered\u2013perhaps because it was an unfamiliar number.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHello.\u201d His voice was rough with sleep or something else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett bit her lip. \u201cVincent, it\u2019s me. I need-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could finish, the line went dead. He had hung up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She knew he was angry about the pregnancy\u2013about her choice. But now, weakened and isolated, she had nowhere else to turn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t expected him to be this cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hadn\u2019t even let her finish her sentence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Listening to the dial tone, Scarlett let out a bitter, hollow laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then the tears came again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, there was only one option left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she called Claire, the line connected almost instantly. \u201cHello? Who is this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett\u2019s voice broke. \u201cClaire\u2026 can you come to the hospital? I\u2026 I need someone here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
63\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finished\u00a0<\/p>\n
Claire didn\u2019t hesitate. \u201cI\u2019m on my way.\u201d Scarlett could hear the rustle of a coat being grabbed. \u201cWhat happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Scarlett kept it brief. \u201cI\u2019ll explain when you get here. And\u2026 could you bring me a new phone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing the strain in her friend\u2019s voice, Claire didn\u2019t press. \u201cI\u2019ll be there soon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After hanging up, Scarlett waited. Within half an hour, Claire rushed into the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
