Julio, typically calm and composed, didn't understand the situation now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the police awaited answers, Jupressed Dolores for the truth about the child's origins. Eileen knew he was fishing for a confession. That way, he would be able to clear Dolores of any charges.
"If you need me, you should have cto me. Are you hiding something fromsince you've been refusing to seerecently?" Juasked. He was convinced of Dolores' innocence; he just needed her to explain everything to him.
Dolores wrenched against his grip. "What are you talking about? I'm not short on money, and I'm certainly not involved in child trafficking." Juleaned in closer, his tone urgent. "Then where did this child cfrom? Listen, I know how to navigate these legal waters. Your case isn't beyond my expertise. I want you to walk free. Trustand telleverything." Dolores' eyes welled up with tears at his words. Someone had suddenly appeared to support her when she was at her lowest.
"If you're still refusing to admit it, you'll have to follow the protocol," a police officer said, his patience wearing thin. The cold clink of handcuffs being drawn rang out.
As the officer moved closer, Dolores instinctively clutched Julio's hand tightly, her voice trembling with desperation. "It wasn't me. I didn't do it." Julio's eyes narrowed, watching the officer slowly approaching. Before he could say anything to defend Dolores, she suddenly blurted out, "Emerson is my son! I gave birth to him! If you don't believe me, we can do a paternity test. How could you arrest me? How could you take my child away?" Dolores erupted in a frenzy, her hands clutching her head. The commotion startled Emerson awake. Eileen swiftly exited the room with the child.

The police had called a doctor to ccollect the samples for the paternity test, but they hadn't arrived yet. So, they had to manage with Dolores for now.
"What's in her best interest?" Jusnapped, wrapping an arm protectively around Dolores' shoulders. “When someone is brought to the police, your job is to verify the situation first. Make sure the accusations hold water before you go taking people to the police station."
His words hung in the air, punctuated only by Dolores' sobs. Marisa entered the room and addressed Julio. “I apologize for the wrongful accusation. The local owner suspected Dolores of being a child trafficker due to her anxious behavior and the child's constant crying. When we arrived, we found a few children's clothes in her bag and discovered she had just bought milk formula, fitting the profile of a trafficker who had recently stolen a child."
Julio's response was ice-cold. "Regardless, you dragged her here without verifying the facts. Isn't that a dereliction of duty?" Before Marisa could say anything, Jucontinued, “I won't let this go until you provide a good justification."
