Angel of Light [English Version] (Completed)

Chapter 18: Who are you?

After a few hours, the door of the apartment opened, surprising Lexa who had fallen asleep on the sofa in the living room, after having eaten a meal with Ontari in her room.

Immediately, little Carl came in running for calling his mother, behind the boy was Clarke, and behind Clarke appeared Raven with another woman with dark hair. For Lexa, it was too many people in that small apartment.

She was surprised to see Carl, she had not expected him to be brought home to his mother, but probably Raven and her boss, whom Lexa guessed was the dark-haired woman, that the detectives had a new plan or strategy.

Before the boy could run any farther, Raven grabbed him by his shoulders and bent down to speak calmly to him.

- Hey little man, do you remember that I told you that your mom is sick in bed, and that is why she did not collect you from school?

- Yes

- Well, I'll take you to your mom but you will have to be calmer. Your mom has fallen and has some injuries, nothing serious, but you cannot jump on her or hug her too hard ok ?!

- Yes, Raven, I understand, now please take me to my mom, I've missed her a lot, I want to see my mommy.

- Well, come on... and hey Lexa, this is Inspector Rivers, my boss.

- Raven... - The child was pulling Raven's hand, who immediately lifted the child up into the air, making him laugh, as they walked towards Ontari's room.

Lexa rubbed her eyes as she tried to wake up properly as she walked towards the Inspector and Clarke, standing next to her, who did not look very happy. Lexa feared that Raven had not kept her word and had told Clarke to her secret because when she kissed Clarke's cheek, there was not much change in the artist's expression.

- Inspector Rivers, it's nice to meet you, I'm Dr. Lexa Woods - Lexa said as she held out her hand to the officer, who after looking closely, at her shook the doctor's hand

- Yes, Doctor, I know who you are. It is nice to meet you, and thanks for helping Detective Reyes, I regret that you have been involved in this situation with Ontari.

- Oh, it was nothing, I'm glad I could help.

- Well, you and Miss Griffin here, you are free to leave. Detective Reyes and I will take over now.

- Excuse me, but what will happen to the child? - Lexa asked quite concerned by "we will take care of now."

- The child will be under the protection of a social worker - The Inspector simply replied, making Lexa immediately react in a protective attitude towards the child.

- No! No way! - The doctor replied, glaring at a surprised Inspector, who blinked a couple of times before replying.

- What did you say?!

- I said no! The child will stay with me. - Lexa was not willing to let Ontari's son end up in the social system as his mother had done.

Doctor, excuse me, but I think you did not understand what I said. You and Miss Griffin have nothing more to do with this situation so please take your belongings and leave. Neither the child or the woman are your concern. - The Inspector explained taking a step towards Lexa in an intimidating manner, as she stared at the green eyes of the determined doctor.

- Inspector, you are wrong. That child is going to leave here with me, I will not let him fall into the damn social system. - Lexa protested without letting the officer's attitude intimate her. She was going to fight for Carl with everything she had. Clarke listened to the discussion and was surprised with Lexa's protective attitude towards that child, which she liked and was determined to find out why.
