Chapter 11 - Police Interrogate Diane Right Inside the Hospital Waiting Room

As I stepped out of Emily’s hospital room, two local police officers were standing near the nurses' station.

They were speaking with my mother, who was sitting in a vinyl chair looking entirely unbothered.

“Officer, I am telling you, my son brought home a mentally unstable woman who harms herself!” Diane lied smoothly.

I walked over, pulling Emily’s phone out of my jacket pocket and holding it up like a smoking gun.

“Here is the audio recording of her threatening my wife and bragging about the abuse,” I stated loudly.

The senior officer, a weathered sergeant named Miller, turned his attention directly toward me.

“Mr. Ryan, we received a call from the paramedics regarding suspected domestic assault,” Sergeant Miller said.

“My mother locked my wife in our bedroom, stole her phone, and beat her while I was away,” I declared.

Diane stood up quickly, her face turning crimson with fake outrage.

“You ungrateful little brat! After everything I sacrificed to raise you!” she screamed across the lobby.

Sergeant Miller stepped between us, holding up his hand to halt my mother’s tirade instantly.
