After the wave of ecstatic joy passed, Dad suddenly remembered that he had used Grandma to threaten me. Now that she was awake, he knew I wouldn't let them off easily..Even if I couldn't do anything to him for her sake, there was no way I'd let Regina off the hook.That thought made him instinctively want to knock out my people and flee with her. But he knew that even just dealing with me alone, he wouldn't get far, let alone with William in his way too.So after much hesitation, he didn't run but chose to wait for me to come out, hoping to beg for mercy.The moment he saw me, he started pleading desperately."Emi, I know that I shouldn't have poisoned your grandma no matter what. But I was really left with no choice."It's all the hospital's fault! Those doctors messed up the reports and misdiagnosed her. If it weren't for them, none of this would have happened! It's all their fault!" he explained.He tried to shove the blame onto the hospital.But…This wasn't something
"Here's the antidote. Give it to your grandma now. She'll wake up shortly after taking it," Dad said as he tossed me a small medicine bottle.He did care about his mother, but the person he loved always came first, no matter the situation.He was afraid that if he went to give Grandma the antidote himself, I might do something to Regina. So he didn't even have the time to save his own mother personally.Of course, I didn't care whether he went or not. As long as we had the antidote, that was enough.Once Grandma woke up, even if he wanted to stay by Regina's side, it would be useless. Actually, he probably wouldn't even want to anymore by then.Since it was for his own mother after all, he didn't dare to mess with the antidote. Grandma regained consciousness quickly after taking it.Seeing how confused she looked upon waking, I didn't know how to explain why she was here. I couldn't tell her that her only son had actually poisoned her for a woman like that.I was afraid sh
The chief of the ultrasound department glanced at the monitor again and said firmly, "This patient doesn't need a heart transplant. In fact, her heart is in perfect condition.""What?" Dad was completely stunned.The chief added, "I've been doing cardiac ultrasounds for years. I am certain that she doesn't have any heart disease.""No way. That's impossible!" Dad shook his head repeatedly in disbelief.Although the chief sounded so confident, he just couldn't bring himself to accept it.It wasn't that he wanted Regina to be sick, but for the past two years, he had driven himself mad trying to find a heart for her. The belief that his beloved was on the verge of death had been burned into his mind.And now they were telling him she was perfectly healthy? He couldn't believe it."If you don't believe me, you can compare this with the scan images of an actual cardiac patient," the chief offered."There's no need to compare. I know exactly what her previous ultrasound looked like.
The nurse, who was just passing by, turned pale with fear.But Regina couldn't even manage to bite her tongue to end her life, let alone kill herself with a scalpel.Before she could bring the scalpel to her neck, the bodyguard beside her quickly snatched it from her hand.Her sudden outburst completely terrified Henry. As the bodyguards restrained her, he rushed over."Regina, don't do this! Please, don't! You have to stay alive!" he cried.While saying those words in fear, he was also confused. He couldn't understand why she suddenly wanted to die, or why she was saying such things.After all, she was the one who had told him to use his own mother to threaten me.Meanwhile, the doctor I brought along carefully checked all of Grandma's vital signs and confirmed that she was alright.I had no more interest in watching Regina playing pretend. I just wanted all the madness between them to end quickly.Before Henry could say another word to her, I said coldly, "Mr. Quill, the hea
Just as Regina finally calmed down, Henry called after realizing she was missing.Before I could say anything, he shouted, panicked and furious, "Emilia, what did you do to her? I'm warning you, if you dare touch her, I will make sure your grandma dies before she does."Originally, I had planned to deal with him in another way. But after learning about the truth, I realized I didn't even need to lift a finger to destroy him.So I was no longer as confrontational or aggressive as before. Instead, I spoke in a worried and desperate tone. "Henry, please don't do anything. Please. I was just too angry when I said those words and wanted to scare you into letting Grandma go. I didn't really mean it. Please don't hurt her. I would rather die than let anything happen to her."Henry never truly believed I would go as far as murder. So when he heard my pleading, he let off a breath of relief and began to calm down.His voice softened. "Emi, I don't want to do this, either. You know how im
William didn't know what to say to comfort me, and honestly, he felt that nothing he said would help. So he just gently rubbed my head and said, "He's not worth it."I closed my eyes and responded quietly, "Yeah."I was just about to tell someone to drag Regina up and take her downstairs to Henry. I wanted him to see for himself just how healthy the woman he thought was dying really was, and how much of a fool he had been. But she was already awake. She had been awake for a while, just pretending to be unconscious. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and tried to bite her tongue off to kill herself.She realized the moment I said that someone with late-stage heart disease could never have survived a kick to the chest, that her entire plan had been exposed. Things would no longer go her way.But before she could even regret or figure out what to do, someone knocked her out.When Regina woke up and noticed no one was paying attention to her, she pretended to be unconscious as she despe
