"Tim is tied up with a new project for the finance company, and Cam has locked himself away in his room, hardly coming out. Gary was recently hospitalized, but he vanished a couple of days ago, and no one has a clue where he went... "Grandma's health is declining, so we're keeping all of this under wraps for now,

"Grandpa is still at the nursing home and refuses to see anyone...

In short, the Shields family was a complete disaster!

It seemed like he was the only one trying to hold things together.

Clearly, Christina wasn't absorbing any of this. Her brow furrowed in frustration, and her displeasure was palpable. "Why aren't you mentioning Suzie? "Haven't you gotten her out yet?

"Derrick, after everything I've done for you, you can't even protect your own sister? I don't care; you need to replace evidence right now so we can appeal again!" Christina's words left Derrick feeling utterly powerless)

Melody was undeniably a talented lawyer; she had gathered all the evidence and witnesses, and her reasoning was impeccable-there was no way to overturn this. As for Suzanna's heart condition....

The law stipulated that individuals with heart issues still had to serve their sentences; only those with severe ailments could qualify for medical parole!

While Suzanna's heart problems flared up occasionally, they weren't serious enough to warrant special consideration.

Only the Shields made a fuss about her condition; to others, it seemed overly dramatic.

Derrick simply couldn't replace a way to get Suzanna released!

"Mom, lawsuits aren't as straightforward as you believe

"Just drop it; I'll take you home first."

When Derrick tried to pull her away, Christina resisted fiercely, pushing him aside and glaring at him in

anger.

""Derrick, you're so useless!

"If you won't help Suzie, I'll go replace her myself,"

With that, she rushed toward the road.

Derrick felt a piercing headache, rage boiling inside him as he sprinted forward to grab her, attempting to

pull her back.

In his

anger, he yanked too hard, causing Christina to stumble and hit the ground.

Her eyes widened in shock. She instinctively pulled back, disbelief written all over her face as she stared at Derrick. "Derrick, are you trying to hit me?" Derrick felt as if he were on the verge of losing control

The more he tried, the worse things became. As his headache throbbed, a name suddenly flashed through his mind: Melody!

If only Melody were still with the Shields, she would know how to support him..

She wouldn't allow him to wallow in frustration and helplessness; she would gently stroke his head, soothing away his irritation and exhaustion.

She would have noticed how badly his head injury had worsened and insisted he seek treatment.

Unlike their mother, who didn't care about the harm she caused herself.

Melody was gentle and kind, always attentive, always putting her brothers first

But that was all in the past!

Derrick took a deep breath, finally pulling Christina up despite the frustration constricting him.

This time, his expression was flat, and his tone was icy. Mom, do you really think Carson misunderstood Suzie?

*Do

you

truly believe Suzie shouldn't be in jail?"

"I'm done running around for this. Let her serve her time for a month; even if she's my sister, she needs to learn a lesson!"

With that, he signaled for his assistant to take Christina home,

Christina struggled, disbelief filling her eyes as she stared at Derrick. "Derrick, she's your sister!"

This time, Derrick's expression remained impassive. "Melody is also my sister. When she made a mistake, we taught her a lesson, didn't we? "So why should Suzanna be any different?"

Christina's eyes widened, as if, in that moment, she could no longer recognize her own son...
