Chapter 519: Crimes Exposed
“Ahhhh!” Karen was already feeling nervous and guilty because of her first murder, so the sudden roar scared her soulless.
Before she could turn her head, she was suddenly pushed to the side by a strong force.
Trembling with extreme anger and fear, Cheyenne looked at the oxygen mask on William’s face with the unplugged oxygen tube.
With trembling hands, she gritted her teeth and immediately reattached the oxygen tube that Karen had just ripped away.
Although William’s condition was not severe to the extent that he couldn’t breathe immediately with the oxygen tube unplugged, he was seriously wounded and heavily reliant on the oxygen tube.
But Karen had actually just pulled out the tube keeping her father alive!
Cheyenne’s eyes turned bloodshot as she stared into Karen’s eyes and once again questioned word by word, “I’m asking you, what the hell were you doing just now?”
Karen, caught red-handed trying to kill William, was so shocked that she hardly knew what to say and could only splutter, “I… I-I was just checking to see if there was anything wrong with the oxygen tube! Yes, I was just checking it!”
Cheyenne seemed miserable and agonized.
“No, you’re lying! Why would you do such a thing? What exactly did Dad do to you to make you hate him so much that you want to kill him?!” she shouted in grief and anger, her face already stained with tears.
Just this evening, she had suddenly received a message from Charlotte, asking her to be more careful of Karen’s behavior. Finding it strange, she had asked Charlotte why, but Charlotte had told her to keep her guard up without saying anything else.
Due to the doubts in her heart, she had insisted on staying despite Karen’s request for her to leave. She had pretended to fall asleep and remained awake even though she was already exhausted just to see what Karen would actually do.
But she had never expected that Karen, who thought Cheyenne was asleep because she didn’t respond to her call, would actually get up and walk over to rip off William’s oxygen tube!
If she hadn’t seen with her own eyes, she would never have believed this truth in front of her.
Her mother actually tried to kill her father!
They are husband and wife. What on earth is this for?
Karen was completely panic-stricken as she hurriedly defended herself. “No, no, Cheyenne, you must have misunderstood! I just said I was just checking if there was anything wrong with the oxygen tube! I wasn’t trying to harm your father!”
Cheyenne shook her head with tears streaming down her face. “Do you think I’m still a child? No one will believe such a lousy reason! Check the tube? Do you keep the lights off when you check something? Why do you have to do this kind of thing while I’m asleep?
“I was awake the whole time, so I saw everything from the time you stood in front of Dad! What else do you want to argue about? You… were trying to kill someone. I’m going to call the nurse and the police!”
Cheyenne sobbed and choked in agony as tears rolled down her face endlessly. She took out her phone to call the police.
This woman who dared to kill her father was too terrifying!
Karen grabbed Cheyenne’s wrist and begged, “Cheyenne, please don’t call the police! I know I’m wrong. I… just got carried away for a moment! In the future, I will never do such things again. Please forgive me this time! I am your mother and gave birth to you. Do you want to send me to jail? Can you bear to do that?”
She frantically used her mother-daughter relationship with Cheyenne while bawling her eyes out in an extremely pitiful manner. Seeing Cheyenne seeming to be conflicted, she hurriedly continued, “Besides, the reason I did this was all for you and Charlotte!
“Your father is now in such a critical state, and he might end up bedridden forever and never regain consciousness again. If it’s just for a day or two, you can still find time to spend with him and talk to him every day. But if he stays like this for months or even years, how heavy will the burden be on you? That’s certainly not something your father would want to see.
“So I had no choice but to think of giving him relief and also ease the burden on you and Charlotte. I struggled for a long time before finally coming to this decision! You think I tried to kill your father because I really hate him? I’ve been married to him for so many years after all, and you two are already grown up. What reason do I have to do this?”
Karen was sharp and quickly made up a seemingly reasonable reason.
Indeed, in this world, it was also true that there were many people who had to pull the oxygen tubes of their loved ones as a last resort.
But Karen’s words didn’t convince Cheyenne.
She cried and said, “But Dad isn’t dead. He’s just comatose for the time being, and we all still have hope for him. Why do you have to take away the possibility of Dad waking up and deprive him of the right to live?”
Although she said so, she was undeniably softhearted and gradually put down the phone in her hand.
Seeing this, Karen was overjoyed and quickly struck the iron while it was hot. “Cheyenne, I really just made the wrong decision in a moment of folly. Don’t worry. I now know I was wrong. I really didn’t consider your thoughts and feelings before making that presumptuous decision. I was really wrong! I definitely won’t do it again. Just forgive me this time!”
Cheyenne took a deep breath and said firmly, “I can let you off this time and not call the police, but you tried to kill Dad. There’s absolutely no way I can forgive you either!
“So go away now and don’t appear in front of us again!”
This was already the limit of her patience.
Cheyenne didn’t believe what Karen said because she knew what kind of a person her mother was.
Thus, letting her off and deciding not to pursue legal action against her for attempted murder was already the limit of what she could do.
The reason Karen wanted to kill William was so that she could return to the villa and live the life of luxury she had been looking forward to all her life.
But now that Cheyenne actually wanted her to leave, how could she accept it?
“Cheyenne, do you not want me as your mother anymore? Just because I had a moment of folly and made the wrong decision? Besides, nothing really happened to your father, and I won’t do it again in the future. Can’t you just forgive me once?” Karen asked anxiously and even went as far as to kneel down before Cheyenne.
But this time, Cheyenne, who had always been good-tempered and softhearted, didn’t agree even after seeing her kneeling. “No, I will never forgive you for what you’ve done to Dad. Letting you leave and not telling others about it is the best I can do. If you’re still not satisfied, I’ll have no choice but to call the police.”
