Chapter 1056 Evil Intentions
“Don’t entertain any evil thoughts, but you never listened and kept challenging others’ limits time and time again. And now, you’ve done something like that. How can you have the audacity to live in this world? Back then, the river should have swept you away.”
Feeling increasingly wronged, Melissa looked at Harrison and directly voiced everything, “At that time, I was coerced by Harrison. It wasn’t something I wanted to do. He threatened me.”
Mike shifted his gaze towards Harrison, asking, “Is what she said true? Did you instruct her to do all of this?”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
A once harmonious family had now become like this.
Harrison knew that the truth couldn’t be hidden any longer, so he didn’t plan to conceal anything. He straightforwardly admitted, “I confess to the things I’ve done, but I didn’t ask her to throw the two children into the river, nor did I tell her to kidnap Patrick. Moreover, she and Beatrice colluded without informing me.”
The three of them had formed an alliance later on, but initially, none of them were willing to comply with each other.
Mike grabbed his cane and struck Harrison directly, saying, “You are my own son. How could you do such outrageous things?”
Growing angrier, Mike realized that it wasn’t just a slight wrongdoing towards Jane. It seemed like everyone had wronged Jane.
“Dad, I won’t dare again. I know it’s all my fault, and I regret it now. Please don’t be angry.”
Harrison’s apologetic attitude seemed sincere, while Melissa continued to express her grievances, “I really didn’t know anything. I was like a pawn being manipulated by someone.”
Harrison couldn’t tolerate her words anymore and immediately interrupted, “Does that even make sense? Have you ever thought about the consequences?”
“Everything was done by you. Why should I bear all the blame? Now I’m being wronged by everyone. I can’t go home anymore. I’ve been staying in that small house for over ten days, pretending to be crazy and foolish in the hospital during the day. I don’t want to live like this anymore.”
Feeling increasingly wronged and exhausted, Melissa didn’t want to shoulder all the blame or endure this pain. She decided to spill everything.
However, Harrison remained completely ignorant of these events.
“What are you talking about? I never confined you to a small house or restricted your freedom. Who came up with the idea for you to pretend to be crazy in the hospital?”
As Mike watched the two of them argue incessantly, and Harrison showed no signs of remorse, he became angry and lay on the sofa.
Jane immediately placed a quick-acting heart-saving pill in Mike’s mouth, but even after five minutes, there was no response. Mike remained in the same state.
Harrison grew anxious and pushed Jane aside, shouting at everyone, “Quick, call an ambulance!”
Patrick supported Mike with one hand, fearing that he might collapse.
Within a short while, the ambulance arrived, and they lifted Mike onto the vehicle. Harrison followed the ambulance and sat inside.
Patrick and Jane drove another car, while Beatrice and Melissa sat in the back.
That’s how they arrived at the hospital. Mike was undergoing emergency treatment while they anxiously waited outside. Harrison complained to Beatrice.
“Why did you take action on your own? Why did you hide Melissa? And what does this have to do with Mike? Why did you involve him?”
Beatrice grew worried upon hearing this, “Everything I did was according to your instructions. I didn’t involve Mike, nor did I touch Pansy’s Old Mansion.”
Harrison no longer believed a word Beatrice said, “Do you think I’ll believe what you’re saying?”
Both of them argued incessantly, and from their words, Jane could tell that they hadn’t divided things fairly. They were just testing each other, and they did everything without informing each other.
Moreover, the situation between the two of them had escalated to this point. Patrick found the argument unbearable and directly said to them, “If you want to argue, go home! Don’t disturb Mike’s peace here.”
Upon hearing this, both of them fell silent and sat quietly in their chairs, waiting for the outcome.
Melissa felt like a pawn, being manipulated back and forth.
This feeling was even more unbearable.
Jane waited quietly like this, and the group of them walked around at the entrance. They waited for about two hours before Mike was wheeled out.
Patrick immediately went forward and asked, “How is he? Is Mike’s condition okay?”
The doctor sighed and said, “It’s only been half a month since Mike was discharged last time, and now he’s back again, and this time it’s even more serious. I’ve already warned you all. Mike’s health is deteriorating day by day. No matter what problems you have, can’t you wait until Mike is fully recovered before solving them?”
This doctor had a good relationship with Mike before, and he had always taken care of Mike’s health. So seeing Mike in this state, he naturally felt even more heartbroken.
Patrick kept nodding and, in passing, glared at the people behind him. It was because of these people’s presence that Mike ended up like this.
The group of them pushed Mike into the intensive care unit again, and the doctor stayed outside, not at ease. He reiterated, “This can’t happen a second time. Even if it’s a deity, they won’t be able to save Mike.”
The words were very clear, and they naturally understood. After all, this kind of situation wasn’t easily resolved.
The group of them stood at the door, looking at Mike lying on the bed inside, unable to say a word. Harrison, who had been arrogant and domineering just now, stood silently at the door as well.
Beatrice, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but burst into tears.
She always felt indebted.
Patrick glanced at everyone and said to them, “Once Mike wakes up, I will settle the scores with each of you!”
Upon hearing this, both Harrison and Beatrice trembled, knowing Patrick’s capabilities.
Jane silently observed and glanced at Harrison, then beckoned him to come to the corridor. The two of them walked into the hallway.
“I don’t need to ask. You should know why I called you here today, right?”
Harrison was a smart person and didn’t need Jane to say much to already know everything.
