“Ah!!!” Melissa and Beatrice were scared out of their wits when they saw this scene, screaming and shrinking into the corner.
What’s going on?
Is it a ghost?!
“Dad… Dad, I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to harm you. Don’t come looking for me. I’m Patrick’s mother. Don’t take me away…” Beatrice had long been so scared that she threw away her flashlight and covered her eyes tightly, not daring to look at Old Pansy who suddenly sat up like a zombie in front of her.
Melissa was also trembling with fear, with a pale face and beads of cold sweat the size of beans falling down from her forehead. “Grandpa? You… I didn’t mean to harm you intentionally. If you blame anyone, go find Jane that bitch woman! It’s all because of her! Otherwise we wouldn’t have come to this point.”
“So it was both of you who poisoned me to death, still accusing Jane falsely and now planning on stealing my body and destroying the evidence?” Old Pansy sitting on the iron bed suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Beatrice and Melissa looked at each other helplessly, already at their wits’ end, they could only nod their heads.
“We were forced into it too Grandpa! We didn’t want to poison you!” Melissa bit her lip anxiously. If time wasn’t running out so fast she wouldn’t have done something as stupid as trying to steal his body right now.
“Forced into it?” Old Pansy sneered contemptuously before speaking again,”You are Patrick’s biological mother while your cousin is his auntie by marriage; who would dare force either one of you? Melissa what an eloquent excuse!”
“Huh?” Melissa was taken aback when she realized that grandpa never directly called out either hers or Patrick’s name before.
There is only one possibility…
Melissa suddenly thought about something else:
Something isn’t right here!
There can be no such thing as ghosts in this world! Let alone zombies rising from the dead like this!
So…
Melissa became furious forgetting all about being afraid; standing up straight she pointed fiercely at “Old Pansy” in front of them asking sternly,”You’re not even grandpa! Who are you really?”
“Melissa what are you talking about?” Beatrice crouched down on the ground listening but couldn’t help but feel confused by what she heard.
Turning around Melisa helped Beatrice stand up saying,”Auntie don’t be afraid; This person in front us isn’t grandpa at all – someone is just playing tricks!”
Melissa sneered, looking at “Old Pansy” on the iron bed. “What? You’ve been caught and you still want to pretend. Who are you really? What do you want by playing these games here?”
“Haha, I didn’t expect to be found out so soon,” the originally old and cold voice of “Old Pansy” suddenly softened and turned into a sweet female voice.
And this voice was extremely familiar.
In Melissa’s mind flashed the face of the woman who made her hate so much that she would dream about her even when she slept!
Jane!
Only then did “Old Pansy” nimbly jump off the iron bed, lift up a piece of white cloth, touch her chin with one hand and reveal Jane’s face under it.
It really was her!
Melissa’s eyes were full of venom. “Jane, it really is you!”
“Jane?” Beatrice widened her eyes beside them. “Weren’t you taken away by the police?”
They had arranged for Jane to be locked up today and told Beatrice that they had beaten Jane well.
How could she appear here…
Beatrice and Melissa both thought of a possibility at once. Their eyes widened with fear as if they had been struck by lightning!
Snap!
The dark morgue suddenly lit up brightly.
The dazzling light made Melissa and Beatrice instinctively squint their eyes as they saw Patrick pushing Old Pansy in his wheelchair out through the morgue door.
Old Pansy wasn’t dead!
Melissa and Beatrice looked at each other, both seeing panic in each other’s eyes. They quickly walked over pretending to cry tears of joy,
“Dad.”
“Grandpa!”
Both said in unison: “We knew that nothing happened to you; we didn’t believe it so we came here to see for ourselves.”
Old Pansy snorted coldly, directly shaking off their hands placed on his lap.
“You two don’t have to pretend in front of this old man. I heard everything just now. If it weren’t for Jane coming up with a way for me to fake my death, I wouldn’t have thought that it was actually YOU TWO who were poisoning me behind my back!”
His gaze was filled with disappointment and sadness.
Beatrice and Melissa may not be liked by him usually but they were still his family.
He asked himself honestly – he never owed these two anything but these two people repaid him with such malice!
“Grandpa,” Melissa wanted to explain but only she knew how weak her explanation sounded right now.
While Beatrice just collapsed onto the ground feeling powerless.
After all the calculations, they never expected that Jane and Patrick had set a trap for them and were just waiting for them to fall into it!
It’s over. Everything is over!!
Their recent actions have made it clear that she and Melissa are the murderers.
Jane looked at Melissa still trying to defend herself, even trying to take all the blame on herself. She walked over with disdain, looking at both of them.
“Melissa, you’re saying it’s all my fault? Did I force you to poison my grandfather? Did I force you to come steal his body with your aunt?”
“If not for your selfishness, how could we have ended up like this?” Jane coldly questioned.
“I…” Melissa bit her bloodless lips tightly. She really couldn’t say anything.
“Mom, you’ve really disappointed me.” Patrick’s handsome face was tense and frosty.
“I’m sorry son, I was wrong. Please don’t call the police. Mom doesn’t want to go to jail; if I do then my life along with your cousin’s will be ruined!” Beatrice rushed forward and hugged Patrick’s thigh while crying hysterically.
“Now that you know what the result would be like why did you do it in the first place?” Patrick pushed Beatrice away coldly without caring about how much she cried out in pain or anguish as he turned his head away from her saying indifferently “From now on Grandpa is my only family member left.”
“Patrick…” Beatrice fell weakly onto the ground looking lifeless as she knew he was serious about cutting ties with her as mother-son relationship!
Melissa didn’t dare say anything after hearing this; if her cousin treated her own mother like this then surely she would end up worse off since they had no blood relation whatsoever!
“Take them away!” Patrick ordered sternly without wanting any more nonsense before waving his hand causing a group of bodyguards outside coming in dragging both women out forcefully by their arms
Jane looked worriedly at Patrick before finally opening her red lips but ultimately said nothing as she followed him pushing Old Pansy leaving this place behind together
The morgue became quiet again while Candice watched everything from a dark corner of the hallway feeling scared as chills ran down her spine
