Bab 318: Swim Deep**

R18.

Gale was crying her eyes out and Craig held her in his arms as the court announced the guilty verdict for Frank with a lifetime imprisonment.

"Oh God, thank you…" she whispered continuously, hoping Gilbert could see how justice prevailed and his murderer was finally punished. 

Tears fell like a river from her eyes as she could not control her emotions and remember Gilbert. Craig gently stroked her back to console her. He was glad that Gale could finally move on and lessen the burden in heart caused by the trial.

Frank was hysterical when the verdict was announced, and to calm him down they had to call a doctor to give him a shot.

Craig quickly pulled Gale out of the courtroom and inside his car in the parking lot. He turned on the engine and the air conditioning. They stayed there as he kept on soothing the sobbing woman by gently stroking her hair and back.
