Chapter 18 — Don't Touch An An

She was afraid that An An would be torn apart by these people again. When we reached the lobby gate, Ha Dinh had already arrived. He wore a wrinkled shirt, his eyes were dark. Ton My Lan stood right next to her. Behind him were several relatives. Including the woman who came to the hotel last night. As soon as Ton My Lan saw An An, she immediately rushed over crying. "An An, grandmother is here." An An was scared and hid behind Tham Thanh Dao. Tham Thanh Dao immediately picked up her child. The court security guard stepped forward to stop Ton My Lan. "Please keep your distance." Ton My Lan patted her chest and cried. "Can't I just look at my niece?" "She is the lifeblood of our Ha family." An An pressed her face to Tham Thanh Dao's shoulder. The little body trembled violently. Tham Thanh Dao did not care about Ton My Lan. She looked at Ha Dinh. "You saw it." "She's very afraid of you now." Ha Dinh's eyes stung. But Ton My Lan raised her voice: "What do children know?" "It must have been taught by you." "You speak ill of us every day in front of the child." Lawyer Phuong directly gave the results of the psychological evaluation to the court staff. "The child has a clear avoidance reaction towards his father and paternal relatives." "It is recommended not to have direct contact." The staff nodded and arranged for the two sides to be in separate places. In the temporary review room, Tham Thanh Dao sat on one side. An An was led to the next room by her female colleague. Before the door closed, An An kept looking back at her. Tham Thanh Dao nodded at her child. The baby now agreed to step inside. Ha Dinh sat on the opposite side. Originally, Ton My Lan also wanted to go in, but was stopped outside the door. She screamed outside the door: "I am a grandmother, what right do I have to not listen?" The court staff only replied: "Unrelated people, please wait outside." The room door closed. Inside was finally quiet. Ha Dinh's representative spoke first. He said Tham Thanh Dao was preparing to go to another training camp for a long time and was unable to take care of her child stably. He said Ha Dinh has a stable income, has a house, and his parents can also help. He said the child was still young and should not let his mother take him along to live in a hotel. Finally, he also said that the father's side was willing to coordinate psychological treatment, and was willing to bear all the costs. Tham Thanh Dao listened without interrupting. When it was lawyer Phuong's turn, she just spread out each document. The first part is the case file about An An's disappearance and the hospital diagnosis. The second part is the process of Ha Khai taking the child away with blackmail messages. The third part is a report on how Ha Dinh hid the phone call and delayed reporting the case. The fourth part is a screenshot of Ha Dinh applying to reissue the birth certificate and sending it to Ton My Lan's hometown. The fifth part is the bank's written explanation about Ha Dinh using Tham Thanh Dao's documents to schedule a mortgage. The sixth part is the harassment video at the hotel, the threatening note and the recording of the strange man coming to the door. Lawyer Phuong said not quickly. Every sentence and every word is extremely clear. "The stable environment that the father mentioned is the seed that endangers the baby." "The grandmother took the baby downstairs but neglected to take care of it." "The biological uncle took the child away and was involved in blackmail." "The biological father deliberately hid an important phone call." "After the incident, the father and grandmother also tried to steal the baby's papers, and went to their residence to harass the mother and father." child." "In such circumstances, letting the child return to the father is not in the interests of the minor." Ha Dinh's face became increasingly pale. He suddenly spoke up. “I'm redundant

I admit I'm at fault." "But I'm the child's biological father." "I won't harm her." Tham Thanh Dao finally looked at him. "You said take An An away for one night, then I will automatically return." "This statement was also said by the biological father." Ha Dinh's lips trembled slightly. "I just want you to return home." Tham Thanh Dao said: "You want me to return home, that's why you let her bear the consequences instead." you.” The judge raised his hand to signal both sides to calm down. Then, he asked about Tham Thanh Dao's care plan. Tham Thanh Dao presented the training rescheduling confirmation, agency documents, leave application for the current period, psychological intervention appointment documents, and information about temporary accommodation. She said: "I will stay in this city to take care of An An." "The training slot is reserved and does not affect the performance of my current guardianship obligations." "I have a job, an income, and a complete care plan." "I am also willing to comply with the law to coordinate with the other party's visitation." "But it is required to be at a third party's location, supervised by a specialized staff or someone approved by my side." Ha Dinh suddenly said. raised his head. "I'm going to visit my daughter, do I need someone else to supervise?"
