Chapter 111 Evidence
Chapter 111 Evidence
"Evidence? You want evidence? We have it all on video. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in this hospital! She crept into my sister's room last night and took off her oxygen mask. She killed Ruth!"
Alan's tone was confident, and anger burned hell-hot in his gaze.
Anne tried anxiously to defend herself. She had no idea Ruth was in this hospital, and she hadn't left the ward all night. How could she kill her?
"It's gotta be a mistake. I didn't know your sister was even here. I don't even know the ward she's in. Check the footage again. It's not me."
"I can vouch for her. Anne was in the ward all night. I don't know who murdered your sister, but it wasn't her," Kevin said.
He stayed overnight in the hospital with Anne. She had been in her ward all the time. There was no way she could have killed Ruth.
"Mr. Kevin, what are you talking about? You're defending her? I'm not wasting any more time arguing about this. You'll know the truth after you watch the video!"
Alan was afraid of Kevin, and had every reason to be. He knew it wouldn't be easy to avenge his sister while Anne was under Kevin's protection. But he had to avenge his sister's death.
"Bring me the surveillance video!" Kevin let go of Alan's hand and waved at the two bodyguards at the door.
Alan calmed down, but there was murder in his eyes when he glared at Anne.
His eyes were terrible to behold, but even so, Anne still plucked up her courage to walk up to him. She looked him right in the eye.
"Mr. Alan, I know you think I'm the murderer, but I had nothing to do with your sister's death. I know you think I pushed her down the stairs, too. That wasn't me, either. I'm not a killer. You have to believe me."
She had defended herself against allegations that she pushed Ruth down the stairs more times than she could count. Although she knew that no one would believe her, she still tried to stick up for herself.
"Is that supposed to convince me? You did it. You'll pay with your life. I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do!"
Alan didn't listen to her explanation at all. He was full of hatred now. He just wanted to kill her. How could he be rational at a time like this?
Anne knew her explanation was useless, but she didn't hurt Ruth. Why did bad things always happen to her? It was so unfair!
Cherry noted Anne's pale face, and the corners of her mouth curled into a slight smile. She wondered if Kevin would like Anne so much once he saw the surveillance video.
The atmosphere in the hospital was extremely tense. The bodyguards who went to get the surveillance video came back. One carried a monitor, the other plugged his smartphone into it. The administrators had given Kevin temporary access to the video footage stored on their hard drive.
According to the surveillance video, it was 11:35 pm. It was eerily silent, no sound needed. After a while, a woman in a hospital gown entered Ruth's ward. Ten minutes later, the woman walked out again.
The woman turned to face the camera. It was Anne! But how? She looked a little flustered and her pace was quicker than normal.
Looking at herself in the video, Anne was shocked. How could she be there? She had never been to any ward other than the one she spent the night in. What was going on? How could this be?
Kevin stroked his chin while he pondered what he'd just seen. Judging from the timestamp on the video, he had just gone to the office to ask the doctor about her condition. Did she really kill Ruth after he left?
"This clearly shows you were in the ward at the time of her death. Can you explain that?" Alan gave Anne a burning glare.
"No, that's not me. I have never been to that ward. I didn't kill her."
Anne didn't know what was going on with the video and why a woman who looked exactly like her appeared on the screen. But she was sure that the woman in the video was not her, absolutely not her.
"I didn't know you had it in you, Anne. How could you kill someone? Don't you know it's illegal?"
Cherry deliberately said this around Kevin, to make him believe that Anne had really killed someone.
"No, I really didn't. The woman in the video is not me. I didn't kill Ruth!" Anne tried to stick up one last time for herself, and then she fell into chaos.
"Why did you kill Ruth? What good would it do you?" Kevin turned and looked at her coldly, a strange light buried in his deep eyes.
"No, I didn't kill him. Kevin, please believe me. I really didn't kill her. You stayed with me last night, didn't you? You should know that I didn't leave the ward, so it's impossible for me to have killed anyone!"
She thought Kevin might be her last hope. He had been with her last night, and he should be able to defend her.
"I wasn't in the ward when this happened. Why did Ruth die when I wasn't there? Explain that."
He stared at Anne coldly. Kevin didn't want to believe that she killed Ruth, but now all the evidence pointed to her, so he had to believe it.
Anne took a step back uncontrollably and looked at Kevin in shock, with disappointment in her beautiful eyes.
"Even you don't believe me, do you? Do you also think I killed Ruth?"
She thought he would believe her, but she still overestimated herself. How could this man unconditionally believe her?
"I didn't think you were that kind of woman. I must have been blind to marry a woman like you."
In addition to being angry, Kevin also hated her. Why was this woman so vicious? Why couldn't this woman learn to be kind!
"Ha-ha, all of you think I am the murderer, don't you? Everyone thinks I killed Ruth."
With a bitter smile, Anne stopped defending herself. She gave up, letting them think what they wanted to.
"Well, Mr. Kevin, now you know what happened. You won't stop me from avenging my sister, will you?"
Seeing that Kevin believed that his sister was killed by Anne, Alan became more confident. As long as Kevin didn't stop him, he could easily kill Anne.
Kevin kept silent and looked at Alan coldly, but he didn't stop him.
As Anne looked at Kevin's reaction, her heart sank. Was he really going to watch Alan kill her?
She took a step back every time Alan advanced. She was still pregnant, so she couldn't die. What about the baby in her belly if she was dead?
"Alan, you can't kill me. I'm pregnant now. Do you want to kill my baby?"
Anne looked at Alan in a panic, hoping that he still had one last shred of humanity in him.
"You killed my sister. So who cares if you're pregnant? You're an evil bitch and deserve to die!" Alan raised the dagger high, and the lights in the hospital glinted evilly on the sharp blade.
Staring at the knife, Anne was terrified. She covered her belly tightly with her hands, trying to keep the baby from being hurt.
Cherry sneered and savored the fear on Anne's face. She started to fantasize about the grisly scene of Alan killing Anne! It was too perfect!
She looked forward to getting rid of this woman once and for all.
Seeing that the dagger in Alan's hand was about to fall, Anne closed her eyes obediently. She knew she couldn't escape this, but if she died, what about the baby in her belly?
She thought she might die in the next second, but after what seemed like an eternity, she felt no pain.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that Kevin had stopped Alan at the critical moment. The knife in his hand was only a few centimeters away from her. Kevin's hand was wrapped tightly around Alan's wrist, stopping him from striking the fatal blow.
"What the hell are you doing, Mr. Kevin? You already know this woman killed my sister. Why are you trying to stop me?" Alan said, coldly.
The cauldron of Alan's eyes burned with scalding fury.
Looking at Kevin expectantly, Anne thought, 'Now that he's saved my life, does that mean he doesn't want me to die?'
But the next moment, her hopes were dashed against the cruel rocks of reality.
"If you want to kill her, fine, but not before the baby is born."
He had to protect her. The baby was too important to the Fu Family.
As she looked at Kevin's uncaring expression, a bitter smile appeared on Anne's face. The only reason he saved her was because of the baby in her belly. If she weren't pregnant, he wouldn't even care.
"Mr. Kevin, you're making a mistake. You won't stop me."
Now Alan was full of hatred. How could he listen to Kevin anymore? His one consuming thought was to kill Anne.
"You're wrong, Mr. Alan. She's under my protection. You won't lay a finger on her. If anything happens to her baby, you'll die by my hand. I'll take out on your whole family too. There won't be any Suns left by the time I'm done! Don't believe me? Try me."
Everyone got goose bumps when he said that. He sounded deadly serious, and was willing to go great lengths to protect his child. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Alan knew how powerful Kevin was. If he really got angry, he could destroy more than ten Sun Families.
