The car pulled up in front of the courthouse.
Seeing the courthouse sign from a distance, Gloria felt like a giant hand was squeezing her heart, making it hard to breathe.
The trial three years ago had left a deep scar on her, making the courthouse a place of dread.
Just seeing the courthouse doors brought back memories of standing alone in the courtroom, feeling utterly helpless.
And now, with Sebastian right beside her, the pressure was even more intense.
"Sebastian, can I wait for you somewhere else? I promise I won't run away," Gloria asked tentatively.
Sebastian had already taken out his phone, familiarizing himself with the case for the afternoon session. He had arranged to hand over the case to another judge, but since he wasn't leaving in the afternoon, the case was back in his hands.
Seeing this, Gloria had no choice but to stay quiet.
