Patrick stepped forward and helped him up. “What they said is true. It is indeed related to Melissa.”
Patrick nodded at the police chief, indicating that they should take her inside. The doctors and nurses who came forward were blocked by the security guards Jane had brought, unable to enter.
Issac was still immersed in pain, while Jane stood outside indifferently.
“It’s all your fault! You wicked person! My daughter is still sick!” Issac accused Jane, but she remained silent. She knew that the truth would explain everything.
The police chief entered the room, and Melissa had already awakened.
“Do you know what you’ve done?” the police chief asked.
Melissa nodded unrepentantly. What she had done was indeed very risky.
The police chief and his team prepared to help Melissa up.
Unexpectedly, she sat up on her own from the bed, stood steadily on the ground, leaving everyone outside dumbfounded, even Jane was stunned.
Could it be that this is one trap after another?
“Weren’t you in a car accident?” The police chief was astonished, looking at Patrick outside, who showed the same surprised expression.
Melissa didn’t say a word and followed the police chief out.
Issac rushed forward upon seeing her like this, grabbing her hand and repeatedly asking, “What’s going on? You tell me this is all not true! They must have wronged you. Don’t worry, I’ll stand up for you.”
Melissa gently patted Issac’s shoulder without saying a word, then turned to Patrick behind her and told him, “Take care of him.”
She then followed the police chief and left the hospital.
The whole process was her walking out steadily on her own.
Jane looked at this scene incredulously, and finally her gaze fell on the attending physician among the onlookers. The doctor was the one who could explain everything.
The doctor was about to leave when Jane called out to him from behind.
“Wait a moment.”
The doctor turned back, as if nothing had happened, and asked, “Is there something?”
“I think you should explain to me what’s going on. How is it possible for someone who was just wheeled out of the operating room two days ago to be able to walk? Why is she still in the intensive care unit?”
The nurses around were also stunned upon hearing this. After all, they had been taking care of this patient for two days, and her vital signs were not good. Today’s scene had truly broadened their horizons.
The doctor, seeing the situation, pulled Jane into his office, which Patrick also witnessed.
“She asked me to do all this. She gave me money. In reality, her injuries weren’t severe, just minor scratches. As for the driver, he was indeed seriously injured, but he didn’t deserve to die.”
Upon hearing this, Jane felt like her understanding was being refreshed once again and asked, “Didn’t the driver die on the spot?”
The doctor sighed deeply and explained, “The driver was indeed critically injured, but he didn’t die on the spot. However, when he was brought to the hospital, Melissa repeatedly insisted on having the best doctors and paid me off, so I made a wrong decision! In fact, Melissa’s injuries were not severe, just minor scratches. But in order to make it appear that she was severely injured, I took the liberty of admitting her to the intensive care unit. Even those critical condition notices were fake.”
Jane couldn’t believe her ears completely. Everything that had happened in the past few days seemed like one puzzle after another, and just when she thought she had figured it out, she realized she had walked into another completely new set of mysteries.
Surprisingly, Melissa’s actions were so steady
Jane couldn’t believe that Melissa had acted so calmly. However, she knew that Melissa couldn’t have come up with all of this on her own. There must be someone else involved, someone who orchestrated everything so perfectly.
“Are you sure Melissa personally told you all this?” Jane asked the doctor, pressing him for an answer.
The doctor hesitated, unsure of how to respond to Jane’s insistence.
“Just tell me the truth!” Jane demanded.
“When Melissa arrived, there was someone with her. You’ve seen her two days ago. She’s the one who paid me to do all this, but it was a decision made after she and Melissa discussed it,” the doctor finally confessed.
Jane became more certain upon hearing this. The only person who could collaborate with Melissa to escalate the situation against her was Beatrice.
She never expected their resentment towards her to run so deep, to the point where they would go to such lengths to harm her.
“Can you guarantee that every word you’ve said is the truth?” Jane still didn’t trust anyone at this point.
“I can assure you! I’ve witnessed today’s events, and I’ve already revealed my secrets to you,” the doctor asserted.
Jane let out a grunt and walked out.
Issac continued muttering, blaming Jane, “It’s all her fault. It’s all Jane’s fault. If it weren’t for her, our family wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Patrick, who had been listening, became annoyed. He had tried to reason with Issac before, but now he was genuinely irritated.
“Uncle, I respect you, but I hope you can understand clearly. This time, Melissa took his life. I absolutely won’t allow anyone to harm her! I can let go of what happened before, but this time, I must get to the bottom of it.”
Jane, who overheard these words, felt a warm sensation in her heart. It turned out that she had always had a place in his heart, always considered herself the most important part.
Jane walked up to him, locking eyes with him. The two of them stood there, staring at each other in silence, not knowing how long they had been standing like that. Finally, Jane smiled and lowered her head, and Patrick immediately pulled her into his embrace, holding her tightly.
This moment was the happiest they had ever been.
Suddenly, Jane’s phone rang, but when she saw that it was an unknown number, she instinctively hung up.
At the same time, Patrick’s phone also started ringing, with the same number displayed.
Patrick answered the call but remained silent, listening attentively. The more he listened, the more furrowed his brow became.
Anxiously, Jane asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
It wasn’t until Patrick hung up the call, cupping his face, that he solemnly said, “It was your mother calling. She said something about your father…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Jane dashed out, fearing that the worst news had reached her ears, news that she wouldn’t be able to handle.
Patrick quickly caught up with her, taking the lead and pushing her off the driver’s seat.
“You get down, I’ll drive.”
