She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 265 - JONAS IS FREE

When they arrived at the public court, the attorney who worked on Alexander's case was already present and the public attorney who was going to defend Jonas was also there.

There weren't many people inside the court since it wasn't a public trial. Magnus and Ferdinand were already sitting on their chair, waiting for the judge to come. Stefan and Cayenne went to take their seats as well, two chairs apart from where Stefan's family was.

As soon as the judge came, they started the hearing and Dr. Albert came as the witness with the evidences in his hand. With all the crimes involving the Minato family, they believed his words. After all, he was the doctor who was involved with them and he knew all their secrets. The judge accepted his words and sentenced Dr. Albert to three years of life in prison. He was just an accomplice and was never involved with the murder or anything illegal. And given that he helped them solve many crimes with the Minato family, they reduced his sentence to three years and one year of probation.

Dr. Albert thanked Stefan for helping him get his sentence reduced. He knew that the man was the one who talked to the judge and the officers for this matter.

"With all the evidences present, proving that Jonas Slyvester wasn't involved with the death of Alexander Minato Dumrique, I now declare that the defendant is not guilty. Court hearing adjourned." As soon as he pounded his gavel to seal the result, the public attorney shook hands with Jonas and hugged him.

Dr. Albert also went to Jonas and apologized to him for everything that has happened. The lawyer who handled Alexander's case walked towards Magnus and Ferdinand. He apologized to them but the two men just waved their hand at him in dismissal. They still cared for Alexander due to the fact that he grew up with them. However, they won't let someone else suffer from his own actions.

"Cayenne." Jonas walked to Cayenne. His eyes were red, obviously he was about to cry in front of her. "I'm sorry for coming out late. I'm sorry for disappointing you."

"It's alright. We still have a lot of time in the future. You can make it up with your boys. They will surely be surprised to see you."

"Speaking of the boys," Stefan cut them off and spoke. "Luiz will graduate from senior high next month. How about we keep this news for now and surprise him on his graduation day?"

"I don't mind." Cayenne responded. "Can you hold out until then?" She asked Jonas in case he wanted to see them as soon as he can.

"Can I look at them from afar?"

"Sure." Cayenne grinned from happiness, just imagining how her brothers would react to the sight of him. "I'm pretty sure they'd be very happy to see you. I can't wait for the month to skip its days and stop on his graduation day."

"Don't be too excited." Stefan pats her head with a tender smile on his lips. He turned to Jonas and smiled at him. "We will wait for you outside. Once you're done with all the process together with the officers."

"Okay." Jonas turned around and walked to the officers and the lawyer who was waiting for him.

Cayenne and Stefan walked out of the court and found his family waiting for them at the lobby. "Grandpa." Cayenne muttered and looked down on her hands to hide her anxiety.

"When are you going to visit us? Stefan had been hiding you and won't even tell us where you're staying. You've been away for quite a long time already." Ferdinand told Cayenne which surprised her. She didn't expect that they were waiting for her to come and visit them.

"Right. Stefan won't even allow us to come and visit you." Magnus added.

"When are you going to give me a great-grandchild?"

Cayenne coughed awkwardly from the shock of his question. She just reconciled with Stefan and they were already asking her for a great-grandchild. Where can she get that?

"Wait." Cayenne turned to Stefan and glared at him. "You didn't tell them?"

"Tell us what?" Magnus questioned her when he noticed something amiss. "Did you guys fight? Is that why Stefan couldn't let us find you?"

Cayenne coughed again and Stefan could only smile faintly at his father's question.

"You, silly boy! How can you fight with her? Stop bullying your wife. Here I thought you'd bring me a great-grandchild when you brought her to Europe but instead, you fought with her." Ferdinand reprimanded Stefan and even hit him lightly with his stick. "Little girl, if Stefan bullies you again, just come to me and tell me. I will discipline him for you. Okay?"

"O-okay." Cayenne responded with a bright smile this time. Stefan's family didn't hate her. They were even nicer to her compared to Stefan. "Thank you for worrying about me. Stefan and I have reconciled already."

"That's good. That's good. In that way, you can give me a great-grandchild soon."

"Grandpa, don't put pressure on her."

"I'm not pressuring her. I'm just giving reminder." Ferdinand gave Cayenne a playful wink which made Cayenne laugh. "Alright, we will leave for now and give you back your world. Come and visit us sometimes."

"Yes grandpa." Stefan and Cayenne responded in unison.

When the two men left, Cayenne sat on the bench to appreciate the lovely day. She was so happy and she felt that a heavy thorn pricking her heart has been lifted. Stefan sat beside her and talked to her while waiting for Jonas to come out. After several minutes, Jonas came out with a shirt that the police officer gave her instead of the orange colored shirt for the inmates.

Not far from where they stood, a car was parked with a man smoking inside his vehicle. There was only a small opening of his window to let the smoke out. With all the cigarette butts littered on his car floor, you can only imagine how heavy smoker this person was.

"So, it's true. He really withdrew the case and freed this murderer." He clenched his fist as he puffed out the smoke, crashing the cigarette with his bare hand. He didn't even feel the pain of the burnt at all. "I won't let you live happily. You killed my son. So, I must kill yours. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth."
