The Married By Challenge
The Part 173
Karin stood in the witness stand and looked at her mother who was holding back tears, until the judge questioned the truth of the witness who had testified against Karin.
Now Karin looked at Sarah, and what Sarah said was very true, now Karin has nothing.
"I admit it, your majesty" answered Karin then loudly that made Sarah and the others breathe a sigh of relief "I did all of that because I hated Sarah and her family so much that they destroyed my family" Karin's mother and father could only cry.
From Karin's confession and his numerous witnesses, the judge sentenced Karin to 15 years in prison and no chance of parole. Karin just fell silent and her tears stopped without being able to hold.
While Lolly and Airin are sentenced to 10 years in prison because they were involved in the plot to kill Sarah and her baby, they still have a chance of parole.
After the trial was over, police officers immediately brought the three defendants.
Sarah meets Lolly before she gets into the police car, and unexpectedly, Sarah hugs Lolly and she cries. Lolly could not hold back her tears and she hugged Sarah so tightly.
"I'm sorry, ma'am" Lolly said repeatedly.
"You almost killed us, Lolly. Then after that what? Will you be happy to see your family live with the death of me and my son?" sarah whispered, which made Lolly tear up even more.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't think of anything back then" Lolly said in a choked voice. Sarah broke her hug.
"Never want to be dictated by fear, Lolly" and after saying that, Sarah immediately left Lolly. Makes Lolly's heart feel so sick.
Sarah's still hugging her, still giving her advice after what Lolly did.

"It's all over" exclaimed Devano as he embraced his wife affectionately, as the two were on their way home to Sarah.
"I'm glad the end of this is all done quickly, sir" said Dominic, who is currently driving.
"Yes, because this problem should never exist" Devano replied.
"Dev, can I see Aunt Margaret?" sarah asked, looking at her husband.
"Don't, Honey. I'm afraid he's hurting you"
"No, you're with me, okay?"
"What do you want? He's in a very bad shape"
"I know, I'll be there tomorrow"
Devano was silent for a moment and thought about his wife's request, but in the end he nodded in agreement.
..........
"I'm glad that Sarah's problem is finally over" said Naina, who is also on her way home to Jacob's apartment.
"Yes, if it's not done in the best way. Looks like Devano's about to step in"
"But something's not done yet, Jack. Our problem" Naina said as she stared fixedly at Jacob.
"What is our problem?" jacob asked a glance at Naina
"Your mother.." said Naina who made Jacob sigh sluggishly.
....... ...
Arriving at Sarah's house, Venita opens the door and she looks at Sarah and Devano. Soon William and Jason arrived.
"Where are you guys from? How's the tumben coming home?" ask Venita.
"It just so happens, Ma" answered Sarah with a faint smile.
"Mama knows what's going on" said Venita, then immediately surprised everyone.
"Know what?" ask Sarah to try to be calm.
"Know you guys just got out of court, you forgot that you had a friend of one of the prosecutors? He told me" Venita said with glassy eyes.
He also knew the problem when one of his friends congratulated him on the case that Sarah won very easily. Venita who does not know any of the cases immediately find out from his friend and how surprised he found out the problem was so great in his daughter and he did not know.
"Mama.." - Sarah and she hugged Venita "Mama, everything is done. Mama don't worry, don't think about it" whispered Sarah and Venita nodding in tears.
"That's my granddaughter, Sarah" whispered Venita.
"He's Mama's grandson, he must be strong" Devano said, trying to cheer up his in-laws. William and Jason, too.
"But Mama didn't have a heart attack, did she?" jason asked then who made Venita cut her lips off.
"Almost, Pa. But when I saw Baby Neo, Mama felt strong because she was strong. Shame mom is the same Baby Neo if it reaches KO in front of him" said Venita who makes everyone laugh.
"Baby Neo is crying." cried Freya from Sarah's room.
Everyone goes to Sarah's room and finds Freya looking busy and having trouble changing Baby Neo's diaper.
"Can, Fe?" william and Freya asked only grin.
"Could" he answered but he still had trouble what else because Baby Neo kept crying and kicking his leg. Sarah and the others could only laugh a little.
"This is how it goes..." Venita replaces Freya, comforting Baby Neo by continuing to talk, kissing her to make Baby Neo giggle. And that's when Venita changed Baby Neo's diaper.
Sarah always looked carefully at how her mother took care of the baby. Because there's no way Sarah's always been dependent on Venita.
"A mother's instinct is strong, and slowly you will know how to take good care of your child. No one can take care of a baby as well as his own mother" Venita said.
Sarah sat on the edge of the bed and held Baby Neo in her diaper.
"Sorry Mama, son" said Sarah and she kissed Baby Neo. Her tears soaked Baby Neo's forehead.
Devano grabbed Sarah and peeked at her head.
"We will fight together" Devano said.
"we will always be there for you" exclaimed William later and he embraced Freya "Baby Neo will soon have a sister too, she will definitely like"
Sarah and Devano nodded. Once again Sarah kissed her son's forehead "Grow strong, dear"
