"I-Is he dead? Jackson, y-you killed him!"
Upon saying that, Krystal turned pale as her legs went soft.
Although Nelson is a yokel, he is still Kendall and Kelly's brother. I heard Kelly is still friendly with the Woods Family. If she knows we killed Nelson… I don't dare to think about the consequences.
On the other hand, Jackson stepped back as his face turned pale.
When he thought about Nelson's relationship with the Parker Family, he trembled more than Krystal.
"K-Krystal…" Jackson stammered. "G-Go and check his breathing… Is he still alive?"
However, Krystal desperately shook her head. "No."
She was afraid.
Then, she pulled out her cell phone while shivering and said, "Jackson, call 911 and get him to the hospital. If he's not dead and receives medical help as soon as possible, he might still be saved."
If Nelson died, the act of sending him to the hospital was to participate in the rescue. Suppose Krystal and Jackson turned themselves in then, they would probably get a lighter sentence if they hired the best lawyer to fight the case.
"Stop!" Jackson rushed over and slapped Krystal's cell phone away, making it fall to the ground. Then, he whispered, "We can't let anyone know we did it because Kendall won't let us off the hook. Quick, get
him in the car and take him out. Then, we find a place where no one is around and dump him."
At that, Krystal looked at Jackson in dismay.
"There is surveillance everywhere, right?" she mumbled weakly. "How can we escape from the crime?"
With advanced technology, the police were getting better at solving crimes, so they would definitely not be able to get away with it.
Kendall had Dylan's support. If the man interfered, Krystal and Jackson would be caught by the police even if they fled to the ends of the Earth.
Jackson paused as he panicked.
That's right! This is a high-end villa area, and there is surveillance everywhere. The guards in the security room would most probably have seen the fight with Nelson earlier, so they must be rushing here.
"Sir, what—ah!"
Sunny heard the fight and came out of the house.
He was about to greet the couple with a smile. However, before he could finish his words, he was frightened by Nelson, who was lying motionless on the ground.
"What happened? What happened?!"
Jackson was right.
The fight with Jackson was witnessed by those in the security room, so the security guard on duty immediately notified the nearby patrolling colleagues via intercom to rush over and stop them.
As such, the security guard saw Jackson attack Nelson until the latter lost consciousness. Hence, the guard dialed 911 right away.
Then, several young security guards arrived on bicycles.
It's over! I'm in trouble. I'm afraid I won't be able to inherit Whittle Holdings. It's all because of that b*tch, Krystal! If Krystal hadn't annoyed Kelly, Kelly wouldn't attack her. Then, I wouldn't bring Krystal back to apply ice cubes to reduce the swelling. If that never happened, Nelson won't lunge at me, and I won't kill anyone! I killed Nelson. I killed him! Worst of all, I killed Kendall's brother! Kendall will never spare me based on her attitude toward me. In addition, Kendall has Dylan to back her…
Jackson slumped to the ground and watched as several security guards surrounded Jackson. One of the guards checked for Nelson's breathing, then immediately instructed his colleagues, "Call 911 now! Report this incident to the police too!"
"I-It was in self-defense! He started it!" Krystal suddenly shouted.
Jackson's eyes lit up when he heard Krystal's cry.
That's right! We were just defending ourselves. It was Nelson who hit me first.
The couple was ignorant about the law and had little understanding of the definition of self-defense, so they thought they could escape the punishment.
However, they still reassured themselves with the thought and were less flustered.
The guards didn't say a word upon hearing that.
I don't know if it is self-defense. However, the man on the ground is severely injured but still alive. He needs medical attention now.
Fortunately, the guard in the duty room called 911 earlier on, and the ambulance arrived soon after. Then, it carried Nelson and drove away in the midst of sirens.
Then came the police.
Both Jackson and Krystal, as well as the murder weapon, were taken away by the police.
In the afternoon, Kendall had a premonition.
I have a bad feeling about something, but I can't pinpoint it yet. What will happen?
When Kendall received the photo sent by Kelly and saw a large swell on Sally's forehead, Kendall couldn't concentrate on her wire craft for the Coleman siblings.
"What's wrong?" Dylan asked her with concern.
"Krystal went to the hospital for Kelly. Then, my mother stopped Krystal from doing that, so Krystal
pushed Mom into the corner of the table. Hence, my mother has a swell on her forehead. I'm worried about her. Can I visit her in the hospital, Dylan?"
At that, Dylan took the phone from Kendall's hand and saw the photo sent by Kelly.
"Did your parents hire someone to care for Kelly in the hospital?"
"Yes."
"Okay. I'll have Ronnie make a trip to the hospital to take Sally to the doctor. The doctor could prescribe some medicine for her to reduce the swelling, and Ronnie can take her back to rest. She just recovered from the car accident and she's still weak, so she mustn't stay by Kelly's side."
"Let me go with Ronnie."
Kendall still had a bad premonition.
Hence, she worried about other things and said to Dylan, "I have a bad premonition, and I feel something bad will happen."
However, Dylan looked at her tenderly and reached out to gently touch her eyes. Then, he apologized, "I'm sorry I didn't let you rest well. You will feel anxious if you don't rest well."
"Is that so? I've heard elders say that we should trust our intuition."
"That's an unsubstantiated claim. Don't think so much about it."
Dylan tried to comfort her.
"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you..."
Kendall's cell phone suddenly rang.
It was from an unknown landline.
However, it was a local number.
"Whose number is this?" Kendall muttered but answered the call anyway.
"Hello, are you Kendall Parker?"
An unfamiliar female voice came through.
"I am. May I know who you are?"
"I am from Central Hospital. The ambulance just sent us a seriously injured man. The man has put your number as his emergency contact. You are his family, right? Hurry to the hospital; he is seriously injured!"
He may not be able to make it.
However, the nurse didn't say that.
At those words, Kendall turned pale.
She thought of Nelson.
When she gave Sally the tonic soup in the morning, she didn't see Nelson. Sally answered that he had gone out to have some fresh air.
I think he did more than that. What's he been doing? Why is he badly injured?
Not caring much, Kendall hurriedly said, "I'll go right away. Doctor, please save him. You must save him! I can afford the medical bill. Please give him the best treatment!"
"We'll do our best."
The nurse who informed Kendall ended the call.
Afterward, Kendall got up and ran outside.
"Kendall? Kendall!"
Dylan called her repeatedly, but he couldn't stop her.
He chased after her, but he still couldn't walk properly. By the time he did, Kendall was long gone.
"Amos, prepare the car!"
