Chapter 2773 Finding Out The Truth
“I have matters to settle. You should go in my place,” Larry replied in a displeased tone.
What is he talking about? Della had specifically extended her invitation to Larry! Caspian’s expression turned troubled when he heard Larry’s statement.
“Why do you look like you are in turmoil? Are you unwilling to go?” Larry asked when he saw that Caspian’s mood had taken a drastic turn.
Of course, I don’t want to go! Jessica had once warned him to stay as far away as possible from Della.
“Larry, why don’t you tell her that you are unwilling to meet her?” Caspian mumbled bashfully.
Larry stared at him with suspicion. He wanted an explanation for Caspian’s unwillingness.
“Ah, Jessica forbade me from contacting Ms. Duff,” Caspian replied with a guilty bow.
In an instant, realization dawned upon Larry. Jessica must be jealous of Della. It seems like she has strong feelings for Caspian. This trait of hers was rather admirable.
“Alright, I understand. Continue with your work. I’ll deal with it myself.” Larry dismissed him with a wave of his hand.
Wait a moment! Is Della connected to the poisoning incident? However, she’d just returned. How could she have the time to be involved in this? Cautiously, Larry mulled over his sudden suspicions towards Della.
He made the decision to unearth more evidence about this case. Only the truth would solve this mystery.
After he straightened his shirt and tidied up his appearance, Larry headed out. He didn’t visit Joan, nor did he return home. Instead, Larry made his way towards the hospital.
The elderly woman recognized him immediately. Yet, she did not lash out due to his authoritative status. “Why did you come here?” she asked brusquely.
“I’m here to visit your daughter,” Larry replied with a gentle smile. With that, he strode towards the bed and scrutinized the patient with a careful gaze.
All of a sudden, his gaze brightened. It seemed as if he had picked up something.
“Has she regained consciousness?” Larry asked in order to test the waters.
“No,” the elderly woman replied in immediate panic.
It was a blatant lie! Larry turned towards the patient again as a frown began to furrow his brows. There were fruit stains flecked under the patient’s nails. It seems like she hadn’t managed to clean them in time. Larry was confident that she had regained consciousness.
“Let me handle all of your hospital and medical fees.” Larry continued firmly.
The elderly woman merely nodded her head as she let out a sound of acknowledgment. Her worried gaze darted back to her daughter.
“Why isn’t she awake yet? She’s been unconscious for so many days,” Larry commented on purpose. His eyes remained fixated intently on the patient.
Although the patient’s eyes remained shut, he could clearly see that her eyeballs twitched underneath her eyelids. This time, Larry was even more certain that she was awake.
“Please collect the medicine.” A nurse walked over and informed the elderly woman in a sweet and gentle voice.
Immediately, the elderly woman left the ward as she trailed after the nurse to collect her daughter’s medicine.
Seeing their figures vanish in the distance, Larry crossed his arms behind his back in contemplation before he knelt down and whispered into the patient’s ear. “Speak up, who asked you to do this?”
The patient flinched but kept her eyes close.
“I know that you are awake. Tell me the truth; I’ll make sure to protect you.” Larry’s baritone voice was bewitching and compelling at the same time. Slowly, the patient opened her eyes.
“Please close the door,” she asked quietly before closing her eyes in fear that someone else would notice that she had awoken.
Larry spared a glance at the door before closing it shut.
“How did you know that I was awake?”
Larry remained silent and merely extended a finger towards her nails. Immediately, the patient was aware that he was someone who couldn’t be easily underestimated.
“Alright, I will tell you the truth. However, you have to promise that you’ll keep me and my mum out of harm’s way.”
“No problem!” Larry vowed.
After receiving confirmation of his promise, the patient began to recall her past…
At the same time, Joan was busy cleaning up the flower shop.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Loud bangs echoed as someone pounded rapidly on the door.
How strange, the shop isn’t open today! Quickly, Joan walked outside to investigate the loud noises. Yet, she froze up in utter panic when she caught sight of the angry mob knocking at her door.
That’s right; there were a group of good-for-nothings looking for trouble.
“Joan, open the door! You have the audacity to harm others. Yet you won’t confess your sins!”
“That’s right! How could you let Ms. Young take the blame for the murder that you committed?”
