"Sir? Sir!"The butler who followed Carson behind finally caught up to him. However, no matter how he called out to Carson, he could not seem to hear him. At this very moment, Everly was the only one on his mind.Time passed, and the hospital corridor was busy but seemed quiet at times. Suddenly, the sound of doors opening was heard.The entrance of the emergency room was opened, and a nurse hurried out."Nurse, she..." stammered Carson.A high-pitched screaming sound of a certain medical instrument and machinery coming from the emergency room was audible in the background."The patient's condition is very bad. Please sign this," said the nurse as she handed Carson a document. 'Notice of Critical Illness' was written at the top. His heart skipped a beat as he read it. The machines and instruments in the emergency room continued screaming in their high-pitched frequency. Carson saw Everly lying unconscious on the hospital bed through all the commotion. His hand shook as he hel
"And yesterday..." The butler's eyes were slightly red. He could not bear to say the words but continued anyway, "Yesterday, Molly Campbell was in critical condition. The hospital's suggestion was to operate immediately, but doing so required a sum of money. According to the information given by the nurse, and also based on Miss Pettis' actions previously, we can deduce that she had been at the villa for the money. She left after receiving a call from the nurse, who informed her about Molly Campbell's death…"The butler did not continue to speak, but Carson had already understood him.Therefore…The eighty thousand dollars that Everly needed so much…So desperate that she had to kneel and kowtow until her head started bleeding, and that was all for…Carson knew that Everly's injuries were still not healed, yet he made her kneel under the snow, not knowing that she was actually seriously ill at the moment. He even pushed her around several times, forcing her to admit her mistakes.C
"Sir! Those people must be mistaken!" the butler said sharply as he held onto Carson's wrist.Carson turned around and saw the butler's tearful expression. "Sir, there are so many patients here, and Miss Pettis is not the only one who has no money to buy a mobile phone. They must not be talking about her…"The butler could not imagine how Carson would feel if he had opened Everly's clothes and saw the scar on her stomach.In fact, he was already quite certain that all these people chattering were indeed talking about Everly.Carson withdrew his gaze from the butler and looked at Everly's pale face again.Ignoring the butler's obstruction, he removed the clothes on her stomach.What he saw next was a hideous scar! It stretched from the navel to the top of the pubic bone, looking like a centipede lying quietly on her stomach.In an instant, Carson's heart shattered. It was so agonizing that he could hardly breathe.Everly's tearful expression appeared in front of his eyes again a
"Gah!" Lisa shouted in exasperation.She looked at Everly with great hatred in her eyes. "Are you trying to protect her?!" yelled Lisa in anger as she pointed at Everly."No way! She has committed a crime! She must be punished for it! You told us that you would handle everything. Even so, you…""I will bear everything for her," Carson said hoarsely.It had been a while since he last muttered something. He had not looked at Lisa, and his eyes still fixed on Everly's pale face. Carson's voice was calm as if he was narrating."You?" said Lisa. She could not believe her ears. "She committed a murder deliberately! And now, you want to bear everything for her?" She got even more angry as she spoke.Carson had not answered Lisa, but he had made himself clear.The entire ward was silent, except for the regular beeping sound coming from the electronic monitors.Beep Beep Beep Beep…Moments later, Lisa suddenly laughed with an angry tone. "Okay. That's great!" she said sarcastically.S
"What? Everly is dying?!" The laughter of Layla White from abroad was heard. "Wait a moment!"Layla got herself to a quieter place. She continued on the phone, "What is going on? Wasn't it the plan to keep her in prison, torture her for another ten years, and then kill her when there's a chance? You've said it before. It's because of the death of a certain woman named Bonnie, the prison ignored you and released Everly earlier. What happened? Is she dying?"Lisa's face was full of disgust. She walked back to her car, opened the door, and sat in the vehicle, "Those people in prison were cowards." She replied, "Don't expect them to be able to continue doing it. Torturing Everly for four years was more than enough. Most importantly, she now has stomach cancer, which is quite serious. Carson has softened his heart. I am afraid that if this continues, everything you had carefully planned before will be all in vain, and he will remember Everly for the rest of his life. Even if you do come b
Bang!Carson threw the document hard at the end of the table.Everyone trembled in surprise as if the documents were thrown at them instead."Bring out the real documents!" Carson yelled. He was expressionless, but his mere presence in the room was intimidating enough for people to obey him involuntarily.After a while, the man who was in charge came forward bravely, "Mr. Baxter." He said, "The information we gave is all real. There's no need for us to lie to you…"Before he could finish speaking, Carson reached out his hands and tightly wrapped them around the man's neck. He pushed him against the wall on the other side of the room.The sound of firearms and weapons being withdrawn was heard. Both sides were completely alert as they pointed their guns at each other."Carson!" Austin called out. He was frightened beyond words. His heart felt as if it was about to jump out. He came up quickly to dissuade him, "Carson, take it easy! We can talk about this!"Carson ignored Austin.
No one dared to slack off. Soon, the materials were brought over. It was a stack of folders plus the surveillance footage.Robbie immediately played back the surveillance footage. Austin, who had no clue what was going on, joined them too. It was barely half a minute into the playback when…Crack! Carson brutally smashed and broke the table.Austin could not believe his eyes as he watched the surveillance footage. "What is going on? Carson, did your men do this? Why are they beating Everly up!"Carson had not replied. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and swept his gaze across everyone there before returning his attention to the surveillance footage."Mr. Samberg, Mr. Baxter would never do such a thing!" Robbie immediately explained."Then, who did this!" Austin's tone was filled with shock.Carson ignored Austin. His eyes were locked onto the screen of the silent footage. She was being ganged up and beaten by the female inmates. Her screams and pleas seemed to have traveled
Carson's eyes were reddened. Her pleas to him in the morgue repeated over and over again in his mind. She said that it was their child! The baby was their child! While she was pregnant, she kept waiting for him to take her back, to pick her and their child back home! How much despair must she be when she slit her wrist with a broken toothbrush? Carson no longer could not take it. He violently coughed a mouthful of blood."Carson!""Mr. Baxter!"Austin and Robbie yelled in unison. However, Carson only wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth and swept everyone there a glare with his reddened eyes.His eyes were filled with murderous intent. It was cold and ruthless."M…Mr. Baxter, t…this really has nothing to do with me…" The person in charge was almost in tears. He said, "This is a women's prison. I could only enter today under special circumstances. Usually, a man like me could only guard the main entrance. I am not responsible for anything else! I only found out abo
