He Put Grandpa in ICU, Yet My Wife Defends Him

Whitney Backman stood there looking all righteous, like some kind of guardian angel, as she shielded Nathan Larsson behind her."What are you even making a fuss about?" she snapped. "Grandpa fell on his own. Why are you still stirring up trouble?"Her voice was sharp with anger and disgust. It was obvious she hated that I had taken Nathan to court.No wonder she had kept Grandpa's condition from me all this time, brushing me off with claims that he was doing fine. No wonder she wouldn't let me see him. She was afraid I would rush back in a rage.She was on Nathan's side all along—one of his people.I swallowed the fury boiling in my chest and stared at her hard. "Grandpa is old. Why do you think he was out collecting trash? He just wanted to earn a little money to buy groceries so you wouldn't have to worry."After the state he's been beaten into, how could you still defend and side with Nathan? Grandpa treated you so well. How can you live with yourself?"None of my words moved

After dodging the reporters with great effort, I finally went home to wash up before heading to the hospital to see Grandpa.Since the trial videos had already been blasted everywhere, people were pointing fingers at me the whole way. Nathan, the one who had committed the violence, had been painted as the victim.Meanwhile, Grandpa had been twisted from a true victim into a shameless, money-grubbing old man. He lay in the hospital bed as several doctors were preparing to disconnect the ventilator and monitoring equipment.I rushed forward swiftly and stopped them. "Hey, what are you guys doing? Who told you to take them off?"I couldn't even imagine what would've happened if I had arrived a little later."Mr. Sharp, right? We have yet to do anything. You should know that payment is due—otherwise, stopping medication is a normal protocol," one doctor said, glancing at a few burly men standing behind him.They were dressed like security guards and looked like trouble."I didn't sa

When the guard on duty saw how battered and disheveled I was, he could no longer remain calm. Combined with what I had said, whether it was true or not, it was something they couldn't ignore.As the soldier rushed toward me, I felt my tense body finally succumbing to the pressure. The last thing I remembered was collapsing into a solid chest.When I woke up again, I was already in the infirmary. Sitting beside my bed was the soldier who had run toward me before I passed out. "You're awake.""Please," I begged hoarsely, "save my grandpa. He's old and in poor health. If he stays in prison, he'll die!"I knew Whitney and Nathan didn't intend to let Grandpa stay alive after sending him to prison. If he died, there would be no one left to testify. No matter what, I couldn't let that happen."Don't worry. We're already investigating the situation. Your body is very weak right now, so rest up—that's your top priority."The soldier told me that they had reviewed what I had brought with m

I was worried sick about Grandpa. He had old illnesses on top of his new injuries. If he stayed in prison too long, there was no telling what might happen to him.Conrad and Maverick felt the same way. Thus, they brought me straight to the police station. No matter what, getting Grandpa out first was the top priority.As for the video evidence that had been swapped, they also helped arrange for technicians to work on it. The fake video Whitney had produced was also being restored and compared by well-known experts.Multiple teams were working simultaneously. To save Grandpa, they were truly putting in immense effort.When Conrad, Maverick, and I arrived at the police station entrance, we ran straight into Nathan and Whitney. Although they tried to disguise themselves with hats and masks, I easily recognized them from their figures.Whitney clearly saw me, too. She went from initially shocked to contemptuous when seeing Conrad and Maverick. "Wow. Sending one old man into prison was

Very soon, Whitney's phone rang."Ms. Backman, things have gone south! One of our projects has been exposed for cutting corners. The case where someone was crushed to death has also been dug up. The authorities are on site. They've also uncovered embezzlement and tax evasion!"The voice on the other end left Whitney no room to relax. She went pale, swaying as if she were about to collapse. If Nathan hadn't caught her, she would've fallen right there.Her pitiful state sparked his anger toward the rest. "So, this is what you guys have been planning, huh?"The police chief was infuriatingly speechless. "You guys are bold—I'll tell you that much."Austin handed the recovered footage to me. I walked up to the chief and pleaded, "This is the footage of Nathan Larsson assaulting Benjamin Spark, my grandfather. I hope you'll handle this fairly."The chief nodded eagerly. "Of course! Leave that to me! No matter what, I'll clear your grandpa's name!"After receiving his guarantee, Austin
