Chapter 14 The baby didn't make it . As soon as she heard , Liam's mom let out a piercing wail . ' Oh my God ! My grandbaby ! My poor grandbaby ! " ' You people owe me a grandchild ! " Liam looked even worse than when he got caught cheating . My brother had just gotten off work when Dad texted him . He rushed to the hospital , took one look at Liam - and knocked him out with a single punch . Liam curled up on the floor like a shrimp . His parents panicked but didn't dare mess with my brother - he's built like a linebacker . Then , in a move of peak delusion , they called the cops . Yup . They actually called the police . They claimed my brother assaulted Liam out of nowhere . ' Are you f * cking serious ? " My brother grabbed Liam by the collar , right in front of the officer . ' Officer , this jerk broke into my parents ' house and punched my sister in the face . I gave him one punch . That's it . I'm the criminal here ? " Of course not . At most , the cop gave a generic lecture about not taking revenge into your own hands . But once he learned I was pregnant - and that Liam was the father - the cop's attitude turned cold real fast . This looks like your family's responsibility . " ' If the victim presses charges , Mr. Evans may be coming with us . " Liam's parents freaked out . ' It's - it's all a misunderstanding , really ! " " Officer , our son is a good man , I swear ! " " He was just ... uh ... emotionally unstable after getting hit yesterday . " 1027 Chapter 14 Liam's mom looked nervous , but she was still determined to spin it her way . She told the cop I brought a group of people to " intimidate " her precious son , That Liam got slapped multiple times , And hinted - just subtly enough - that maybe he wasn't quite ... right anymore . Liam's face turned pale . His fragile male ego just shattered on the spot . My brother actually burst out laughing . " Oh , come on . Intimidation ? Officer , don't listen to this woman . " " Her son's the one who cheated- Sent motel texts straight to my sister's phone . " " My sister was pregnant , man . She caught him red - handed and slapped him a few times . Big deal . If he can't handle that , maybe he's got bigger problems . " Then my brother paused , tilted his head , and added : " Wait .... so that baby my sister lost - was that your family's last shot at not being absolute garbage ? " That one hit like a bullet . Liam's mom gasped , went limp , and fainted right there on the hospital floor . " I didn't even touch her ! " My brother held up both hands like he was being arrested . " Officer , I swear , I didn't do a damn thing ! " Even the cop looked like he was over it . To him , the Evans family looked like the definition of self - destruction . He gave my brother a mild warning , then turned to Liam . " Since the assault led to a miscarriage , Mr. Evans will need to apologize formally and provide restitution . " " Or we can take this to court . " And just like that , the Evans family slinked away , humiliated . We thought it was finally over . But a couple days later - the internet exploded . 10.27
