While Marinette and her parents sat on the stairs. Mr. Damocles got the update in the nurse office that Lila is not pregnant and that she was not raped at all. "Is that true Lila? You lied about the rape and the pregancy? Did you also lie about Marinette blackmailing Adrien?" Mr. Damocles asked with a shocked face. Lila only nodded and did not say anything. "I need to get Marinette and Adrien back. Thank you doctor Dubois for clearing this mess up." Mr. Damocles said and rushed to the office.

Mr. Damocles saw Marinette and her parents were sitting on the stairs and shouted 'Marinette'. The three of them got up and Marinette shouted back "Sorry, I am leaving, I do not want to get in any more trouble." They left the school area as soon as possible and did not further react to any calls from Mr. Damocles.

Séraphine Dubois was ready to leave and saw that Mr. Damocles was standing in the gate and asked "What is wrong?" He simply said "I tried to call Marinette back, the girl accused of black mailing but she did not even look at me and left." "You will need to educate the whole school about the lies and that Marinette and Adrien are innocent. That young woman was going through hell the whole day." Séraphine said while waving goodbye.

Halfway home Séraphine was able to catch Marinette and her parents. "Hey Marinette" Séraphine said and Marinette looked confused to her. "Do you wanna talk? I was hoping to speak with you anyway but would not have thought that it would be so soon:" Séraphine said and Marinette simply nodded while Sabine asked "How come you are here anyway?"

Séraphine smiled and said "I cannot tell much but I was called to Collège Françoise Dupont for the medical investigation of a young woman. She is your age, I think Marinette." Marinette stopped walking and her parents watched Marinette. Tom asked "Are you ok, honey?" Marinette nodded and said "Can we get home? I want to speak with Séraphine." "You sure, Marinette? Is that covered under medical confidentiality?" Sabine asked with a caring subtone. "Yes it is," Séraphine said, smiling.

It took a while to get home and upstairs into the room from Marinette. Séraphine looked at the walls which were filled by pictures of Adrien. "You love him from the bottom of your heart, right?" Séraphine said and Marinette nodded softly while Séraphine added "Is he the boy which got accused of rape?" Marinette nodded and said "Yes, it is my fault."

"It is not your fault, Marinette and you know that." Séraphine said with an analytical voice and continued while moving closer to her "tell me what happened in the time when you left the hospital yesterday until I met you today." "Before I start, can I try to call Adrien?" Marinette said with a crying voice. "Yeah, please do and if he does not answer leave him a voice message." Séraphine explained.

Unfortunately Adrien did not answer the phone which caused Marinette to fall onto her knees and cry. Séraphine helped her up and asked "How are your ankle and knee? Better or worse?" Séraphine asked and Marinette said softly "Better but the emotional pain from today is worse." "Please explain it to me, Marinette." Séraphine said while looking into Marinette's eyes. Marinette took a deep breath and explained to Séraphine everything.

Adrien was taken to the police station by the police car and brought to an interrogation room without any comments. Also the handcuffs were not taken off and in the interrogation room he was restrained to the table. He was confused by the whole situation. Sometimes an officer came around to check if all was good. The handcuffs started to hurt his wrists and bruises started to show.
