My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston)

Chapter 222 Might Not Wake up

Cherry's face was as white as a sheet, and her legs suddenly became limp. She dropped into the step and looked at her trembling hands, feeling extremely flustered. She pushed Beck downstairs.

Beck was lying motionless downstairs. A lot of blood from the back of his head stained the floor as if he had no signs of life.

Looking at him, Cherry was so frightened that her tears started flowing down.

"I... I killed him..."

She went downstairs cautiously but was afraid to get close to Beck. She was sobbing uncontrollably and didn't know what to do. She was sobbing uncontrollably and didn't know what to do. Hearing a sound of a bag falling to the ground at the door, Cherry looked over in a panic. When she found it was Jane, she hurried over as if she had found her crutch. "Mom. Mom, what should I do? I... I pushed dad downstairs. I killed him. Mom, what am I gonna do?"

Cherry gibbered with terror and her hands and feet were trembling. She had done so many bad things but had never killed anyone with her own hands. She was really scared this time. Seeing this bloody scene, Jane was stunned for several minutes. before she could react. She grabbed Cherry's hand and asked with a pale face, "What happened?"

Cherry was at a loss. Jane was the only one who could help her, so she told Jane the whole story exactly as it had happened.

"Mom, he slapped me first. So I tried to fight back and pushed him a little hard. And he found out about the camera. I... I was too panicked."

Jane grabbed her hand tightly and forced herself to calm down. "Calm down. We'll figure out a way..."

She approached Beck step by step. His head was struck too hard and he bled a lot on the floor. He lay there unconsciously, looking horrible and pitiful.

Jane took a deep breath. A surge of sadness welled up in her heart but was soon replaced by ruthlessness.

Finally, she walked in front of Beck who looked dead from a distance. When she got close and found Beck was still breathing weakly, a trace of malice flashed across her eyes.

She turned to look at Cherry and said calmly, "Cherry, he is the only one who knows you pushed him beside you and me. When he wakes up, our life won't be easy. Since we haven't divorced, I'm still his wife and you're still his only daughter. After he dies, you will be the only heir. So he'd better die!"

"Mom!" Cherry exclaimed in disbelief as if she was unfamiliar with her mother. She always knew Jane was sophisticated but she never expected Jane would be so ruthless. For a man living with her for so many years, Jane wanted to kill him with no hesitation.

Looking at Cherry's frightened and defensive face, Jane's eyes darkened and she began to speak softly. "Cherry, you're my only daughter. I won't hurt you. Beck deserves it. Time is running out. If someone finds out, you will go to jail like Ivan. You know what he looks like when he comes out..."

Before she finished, Cherry shuddered and made up her mind in her heart. She would rather die than go to jail.

"Anything you say, mom."

Jane nodded. "From now on, don't admit you pushed him down the stairs no matter who asks. You should tell them he slipped and fell because he was too excited."

After they had negotiated the testimony, Jane turned her head and stretched her trembling fingers to Beck's neck. She felt the beating of his pulse and prepared to strangle him to death.

At this moment, there was a sound of a car stopping at the door.

Jane and Cherry both stood up and their eyes were full of horror.

Someone was coming!

"Mr. Miller, I'm here!" The lawyer's panting voice came from the door. He rushed over after receiving a call from Vanessa.

When walking to the door, he found that the door had been kicked open and there was a sound of wail from the living room.

"Dad, wake up. Wake up." Cherry's voice was full of panic and anxiety. She shouted with a crying voice, "Hurry up. Call 911. My father fell downstairs."

Before the lawyer reacted, Jane rushed over. Her hair was disheveled and her pale face was covered with tears. She looked sad and pitiful. "Lawyer, call 911! Beck slipped down the stairs and bled a lot. Hurry, please!"

Hearing this, the lawyer had a bad premonition. He looked forward and saw Beck lying on the floor unconsciously with blood on the steps, which looked very scary.

The lawyer panicked and quickly called the ambulance. Then he looked suspiciously at Jane and Cherry. "What's going on? What happened to Mr. Beck?"

Cherry only kept crying without saying a word. When the lawyer almost ran out of patience, Jane suddenly said, "We don't know either. Beck broke in and looked very angry. When he saw us, he scolded us fiercely."

"I was afraid to go down and stayed upstairs all the time. Cherry went downstairs to try to appease Beck but he slapped and pulled her hair. Look..."

As Jane spoke, she pulled Cherry close to her. She pointed at the scar on Cherry's face and cried even louder.

"I couldn't bear to let him torture Cherry so I took her to go upstairs.

When Beck chased after us, he slipped down the stairs."

Hearing the whole story, the lawyer always felt something was wrong but it seemed to be true from the scene.

He didn't believe what they said. Beck had been in the process of divorcing Jane these days. Beck wanted Jane to leave the house and wouldn't give her anything while Jane asked for the division of property. They had a property dispute and couldn't come to an agreement. The lawyer didn't believe what happened today was an accident.

Jane didn't explain further. She was afraid she might spill the beans if she said more. And she had already hidden the surveillance before the lawyer came in. There were only broken red coral ornaments on the ground.

Once Beck couldn't be rescued alive, there would be no proof.

The ambulance arrived quickly, and Beck was taken directly to the hospital. Jane and Cherry also followed to pretend their anxiety.

After several hours, the operation door was open.

Jane and Cherry rushed forward when the doctor came out and took off the mask. "Doctor, how is he?"

"He's out of danger..."

Hearing this, they both tensed up and had sweat on their hands, which made the lawyer more suspicious.

Unexpectedly, the doctor added, "However, the patient is in critical condition and his nerves are damaged. He may not be able to wake up. That means he may become a vegetable."

Jane was overjoyed but she didn't show it on her face. She pretended her legs were weak and fell into Cherry's arms. "Mom. Mom, are you okay?" Cherry caught her tacitly.

The doctor sighed, "The patient has high blood pressure and the injury on the back of his head was severe. It's lucky to save his life. Now it depends on himself."

When Cynthia and others got off the plane, Lorenz went directly to Green Group. Alston and Cynthia returned to the Smith family with their children.

Greg, Joyce, and Lewis were waiting for them excitedly. Since Cynthia had been away for more than half a month, Alston was in a bad mood and looked gloomy all day. Everyone in the house dared to speak loudly. Since Cynthia came back, the great days were coming again. As long as Cynthia was in the house, Alston would not lose his temper even though he was angry, which naturally saved the trouble for those servants.

Greg was concerned about the two kids. He hadn't seen them for half a month. He heard babies grow fast. He wondered what they looked like now.

After a while, Cynthia and Alston finally arrived. Alston was holding the child in one hand and Cynthia in the other hand. They got out of the car and looked intimately as if they had reconciled.

Greg heaved a sigh of relief and felt proud of Alston who managed to defuse conflicts with Cynthia.

He and Lewis hurried up to greet them, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith, welcome home."

Cynthia said with a smile, "Yes, I'm back!"
