“Yeah, that’s right. Aren’t you happy, Mom?”

Esme’s smile was so sweet yet so terrifyingly creepy. She gently caressed Beth’s hair and said, “You’ve been through so much for me, Mom. From now onward, you can’t move anywhere other than your head.”

Beth began tearing up silently as she heard that.

Esme continued on whispering in her ear. “You’ve acted so tough all your life. You never thought you’d end up like this, huh?”

In that instance, Beth felt something was off.

“Allow me to release you from your torment, Mom.”

Under the surveillance camera, Esme seemed like she was caressing her mother’s arm gently. She knew where the camera was facing. She knew where to face so that her mouth would not be filmed. So, no one could read her lips when they watched the footage later.

“Esme…” Beth called out to her daughter anxiously.

Sacrificing herself for her daughter was one thing. However, having her life taken by her daughter was something she could not bear.

Esme beamed at her prettily as she said, “Dad is going to be punished for his betrayal. Don’t you worry, Mom.”

Beth yelped as tears welled up in her eyes, “No… No!”

Suddenly, darkness enveloped the entire hospital. There was a sudden blackout! Having a blackout in a hospital was a life-and-death matter as even just a few seconds could result in the loss of a life.

“Help!” Esme rushed out of the intensive care unit anxiously. By the time she stepped out of the door, a doctor and nurse were already running to this ward.

“What’s wrong?” The doctor was extremely anxious. Mr. Maxwell had ordered the hospital to take good care of this patient.

“There’s a blackout all of a sudden. And… And Mrs. Manning seems out of breath! Quick! Help her!” Esme said tearfully, seemingly saddened by the turn of events.

It was true that she felt sad. On top of that, she was feeling guilt and fear too. Still, she could not let others see through her other feelings. So, she made her sadness extra apparent to the doctor.

A few minutes later, the doctor walked out of the ward defeatedly.

Still in tears, Esme asked, “Doctor, how’s Mrs. Manning?”

“We’ve done all we could. But… My condolences.”

The doctor spoke dejectedly. If Mr. Maxwell caught wind of this, the whole hospital would be in trouble.

Esme looked at her mother’s ward, overwhelmed with guilt and sadness. Still, she had to do this to secure her future. She was left with no choice.

It was easy for a human to forget their promises when they were in pain. She could not afford to wager

that her mother would not betray her when she laid in bed in pain like that. There was always a chance that Beth would betray her after a few words of encouragement from a

foe.

After weeping for a while in the hospital, Esme stood up and wanted to leave. It was then she saw Conrad arriving at the hospital.

“Conrad!” Overjoyed to see him, she hurried to him.

Whiffing the scent of alcohol on him, she asked, “What’s this? Brandy? I thought you’ve stopped drinking?”

Conrad smirked at her coldly and said, “I’m impressed. I didn’t think you’d do just anything for your own interest!”

Esme furrowed her brows upon hearing that. Did Conrad find out something?

Conrad said, “Although there’s no evidence of you murdering your mother, I believe you know very well what you just did! Esme Manning, are you sure you can sleep soundly from today onward?”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying!” Esme instinctively retorted, “I’m not Esme Manning! I did not murder anyone!”

Conrad smirked. “Oh, then I wish you the best of luck as you continue on with your lies.”

Then, he turned and left.

Seeing him leaving like that, Esme clenched her teeth and chased after him.

“Why are you here? Are you not feeling well? Don’t forget our big day tomorrow.”

Conrad did not say anything as he walked into the elevator and pushed the button to close the door.

Esme took a step back so as to not be clamped by the closing door. She glared at him and said, We’ve known each other from when we were kids. It’s fate that we’d be together. You can’t run away from your fate!”
