Chapter 117
"Mom, do you feel better today? You're going to undergo dialysis later," Jenna walked in with a smile on her face. She caught the disappointment in her mother's eyes, so she gave her mother a brighter and sweeter smile.
Sara still looked behind Jenna.
"Mom, Hansen is a little busy today, so he won't be coming to see you, but I will come every day. Look, this is the bouquet of flowers he told me to give you." Jenna smiled and hurriedly explained. She held the flowers in her hand and held it in front of her. At the same time, she put her arms around her mother's shoulders and acted coquettishly, as if she was still a child.
A smile quickly appeared on Sara's pale face. Her daughter was her only hope now. As long as her daughter lived well, she would have no complaints even if she died.
"Mom, take good care of your body. We must do the operation as soon as possible so that you can recover quickly. Then I will take you abroad for treatment. We will live a happy life in the future. Dad will be happy to see us living a great life too," Jenna looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and said with hope.
Sara smiled lovingly and tightened her grip on Jenna's hand.
Jenna helped Sara change into a hospital gown. When she touched her mother's bare legs, she felt sore and almost shed tears.
"Mom, did Dad offend anyone when he was alive? Or did he provoke someone from the underworld?" Jenna held back her grief and anger. After thinking about it, she decided to ask this question. She had never dared to mention it in front of her mother before, but Hannah's words from the other day bothered her. After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to ask her mother about it.
Sara’s eyes were a little confused. She seemed to have forgotten everything from the past, including her injuries. Her eyes were hollow and vast, and the sparkling stars in her eyes were like bubbles in the water, bulging and disillusioned. As if they only existed on the water for a moment, or they didn't even exist at all.
Jenna suddenly felt scared and full of regret. Obviously, her mother had completely and deliberately blocked everything from the past, because it was too painful and she no longer wanted to recall it, so why did Jenna ask about it?
She quickly changed the subject after feeling regret.
"Mom, I'm going to cook some soup for you today. You can drink some soup after the dialysis. Not much, but it will be fine for you to drink a little." She picked up her mother's hospital gown and threw it into a bamboo basket. Next, she walked out of the hospital.
There was a kitchen in the suite where light cooking was allowed, and at the moment, she saw Aunt Lee walking in with some groceries in hand. "Miss, I bought some vegetables today. You and Mr. Richards can have a meal here with your mother. She is allowed to eat some food after her dialysis today." Aunt Lee smiled and held Jenna's hand. "By the way, madam's illness has improved a lot recently, and her spirit has gotten much better too."
Jenna blinked, smiled slightly, then nodded and said, "Well, I will help you out then, but Mr. Richards will not be here today. He has something to work on since the company has been busy lately."
"Alright, then you should chat with your mother more. I'll go and cook now." Aunt Lee was a little surprised that Hansen did not come that day. She knew about their relationship a long time ago, and quickly came to her senses. She then held Jenna's hand and walked toward the ward.
Sara was still lying on the hospital bed in a daze. Her eyes were gloomy and unpredictable.
After a while, the nurse came over and pushed Sara out for dialysis. Jenna followed by her side. The time needed for dialysis was very long and there was a special caregiver assigned to Sara. She repeatedly reminded the caregiver on some important matters and returned to the ward.
Aunt Lee was busy in the kitchen while Jenna stood at the door pondering.
"Aunt Lee, you have always been with my parents. I want to ask, do you know who my dad offended while he was alive?"
Aunt Lee was startled when she heard this, and soon understood Jenna's intentions. She sighed, wiped her tears with her hand, and murmured, "Miss, this matter is over. Don't mention it in front of your mother. She really seems to have completely forgotten the past. Now she only has you, and as long as you are happy, she will feel at ease. Miss, listen to my advice, forget the past. You are still young, and you can still get a fresh start."
"No, Aunt Lee, my father was murdered. I am his daughter. I can't be so unfilial. I must find the murderer. Otherwise, how can my father rest in peace?" Jenna was serious. She continued, "Aunt Lee, I won't mention anything in front of my mother in the future, and you shall not talk about it, but I just want to ask you and maybe get some clues from you."
Murdered? Aunt Lee was shocked when she heard this. Her face darkened, and her heart was filled with endless sorrow. How could this be possible? How could a good person like Minister Murphy be murdered?
"Miss, your parents were invited to the birthday banquet held by Mr. Scott that day. They were all fine when they went out, but on the way back, there was a terrible car accident. Such a car accident is really common in A City. I only heard from the police who said that the culprit who caused the accident was suspected to be driving drunk. It was a hit and run and he was not found. Hey, these drivers are indeed hateful," Aunt Lee said as she recalled while plucking the vegetables in her hands.
Jenna felt sad.
"Miss, Minister Murphy was very popular. He was also a clean official and would not offend anyone. Miss, don't think too much. You will get easily exhausted if you overthink this matter.1' Aunt Lee was still trying to figure it out. It was not a good thing to see a young lady get caught up in such hatred.
"But, Aunt Lee, I have found some clues. My father's death was not natural. It was a murder, so you must tell me what you know," Jenna said seriously.
What? Was it really a murder? Aunt Lee was shocked by Jenna's words, and she asked with a trembling tone, "Who was the one who murdered Minister Murphy? He had never offended anyone. I might be wrong about other things, but I have stayed in your house for years. I know very well that Minister Murphy had a good personality, and he had never done anything illegal. It is impossible that he offended someone. Who is so cruel to even want him dead?"
The sorrow on Jenna’s face was unbearable, and she said bitterly, "Aunt Lee, even if my dad did not offend anyone, he might still have provoked someone by accident. If my father’s existence harmed the interests of some people, then he or she would want to get rid of my father. I'm certain of this."
Aunt Lee was even more upset when she heard this. Her eyes were filled with fearful light, and she murmured, "Miss, Minister Murphy was killed the night before the election. Could it be related to his officialdom?"
Her words too reminded Jenna of something. Why didn't she think of it previously, but Aunt Lee could easily analyze the situation? However, who was contesting against her father in the election though? If they really killed her father and tried their best to cover their deeds with their power, the whole thing would make sense now.
However, the car belonged to the Richards Group. All the evidence clearly showed that it was related to the Richards Group.
However, who was it in the Richards Group who was related to the underworld? Or was it someone who deliberately used the iconic Richards Group car to frame Richards Group?
Thinking about it this way, Jenna felt cold all over again. Wasn't she the one who was led to Richards Group by this car?
Evidence was all she needed when it came to this murder.
She needed evidence!
Up until now, even though Hansen didn't love her, he would never hurt her father. Jenna strongly believed this. Her utmost priority now was to find the murderer and avenge her father.
The dark curtains made the atmosphere in the ward a little heavy.
Jenna was standing in front of Trevor's hospital bed with a heavy heart.
"Uncle Richards, you must get better soon." She sat down while feeling depressed. After coming out of her mother's ward, she went directly to Trevor's ward. This was her second time coming to this ward. She tightened her grip on Trevor's hand, rubbed it gently, then helped him gently massage his arm. She checked the information on the internet, and knew how to do some light physical therapy for someone in a vegetative state.
She really hoped that she could get better soon.
"Uncle Richards, I really didn’t intend to hurt you in the beginning. That matter really has nothing to do with me. I was married to Hansen because I really love him. I did not have any bad intentions. I really didn’t know it would cause such a result. Knowing this, even if Grandma appointed me or my
father to force me, even if I did lose hope in love, I would not agree to marry at all. Now, I can only say sorry to you."
"You must get better and recover soon, or I can't leave A City, Hansen, or Richards Group at ease. You can rest assured, I am now the Vice President of Richards Group, and I will do my best to manage the company and achieve your vision for Richards Group. Trust me."
She gently massaged his body and kept talking to him. She was caught by Hansen the first time she visited Trevor in the ward and she was injured by him then. Now she had already known Hansen's behavior, so she was sure that she would never get caught again.
"Uncle Richards, please take your time to heal and recover. Hansen is very smart and capable, and now the Richards Group is on the right track and has made it to the global wealth list. From now on, I will come to visit you every day. My mother is also being treated in this hospital. As long as I am here to visit her, I will also drop by to see and speak with you. Can you hear me? Please, get well soon."
"Uncle Richards, I'm now living at Richards Mayor again. Grandma is kind to me. I am very grateful to her. The more she's kind to me, the more I can't bear to stay. However, I have to do this because I found some suspicious issues, including the incident that happened three years ago. I have made up my mind to clarify everything and not let the wicked get away with it."
"But I can’t guarantee that I'll be able to expose the truth. Hansen doesn't believe me. This is the thing that saddens me the most. Uncle Richards, I know Hansen doesn't love me, but please don’t worry. We have divorced. This is a fact that no one can change. Although Grandma uses many excuses to make me stay, I know that those are just nonexistent excuses. I will not be so shameless as to haunt Hansen, as long as the matter is over, I will leave and I will not hurt him."
"I'm doing my best to take care of Richards Group. Although I am now with Hansen and he misunderstands me and my feelings, I just want him to be happy. If he needs me, I am willing to
give my everything. You can rest assured that once I know the truth that he and Aria really love each other, I will not prevent him from marrying her. I won't stop him from seeking his happiness too. Uncle Richards, please rest assured." RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Jenna spoke carefully and suddenly burst into tears. No one could understand the pain in her heart, but her current situation was really difficult, and there were so many suspicious points yet to be uncovered.
She must be strong. She could not cry.
