Chapter 195
Lucy's pupils constricted and all the blood in his body flowed in reverse. Arthur had always thought that she had an ambiguous relationship with his Maddox. The one who had put pressure on the Pate family was her, who had caused the death of his grandfather...
It was no wonder that when she met her Maddox in the hospital, he bumped into her and didn't even greet her. It turned out that at that time, his grandfather suffered a stroke and was hospitalized.
"Don't think too much." Kylah was already upset. "After this period of time, find some time to have a good chat with Maddox. He won't blame you... At least he won't blame you."
"A human life..." Lucy's limbs went weak, and his legs couldn't even support his body. Old Pate had no grudges against her, yet now, he was being dragged down by her!
Kylah didn't know how to comfort her, so she just patted her on the back. Knowing Mr. Johnson was the most unfortunate thing in her life!
Chad couldn't stand his wife being so intimate with others, even if they were of the same gender. "Kylah, you're so fat now. Don't be so close to my sister-in-law. What should I do if I press you down on my sister-in-law?"
"Who do you think is fat?!" Kylah's eyes were already burning with anger.
Chad immediately gave in. "It's a slip of the tongue. It's time for the pregnancy check. Don't dawdle. Let's go to the hospital quickly!"
Kylah had already comforted Lucy with a few more words of comfort, and then she left after glaring
fiercely at Arthur a few more times.
It was dark in the morning, but now it was snowing. In a short while, the ground was covered with a layer of white.
Lucy's eyes were a little red, and his voice was still trembling. "Arthur, I've already said that I have nothing to do with Maddox. Why don't you believe me?"
Why did he put pressure on the Pate family and kill her?!
Caden was a little confused. "What happened?"
"Did you ever think about what Maddox had done before you said these words?" The relationship between the two of them was precarious. Arthur did not want to quarrel anymore. He wanted to tell them that Maddox and Ruby had taken photos together.
But Lucy didn't give him time to explain. He raised his voice and said, "I've explained so many times, and I have nothing to do with him. Why do you still target the Pate family? Do you know that Maddox Grandpa is dead and angry?"
A human life!
A living person's life was gone just like that!
How would she face her Maddox in the future, and how would she face the accusation of the Pate family?
"As early as when he coveted a married woman, he should have thought of this day!" She did not hesitate to favor Maddox's behavior, which made Arthur jealous and crazy. She said that he did not believe her, but when had she ever trusted him?
Lucy looked at him in disbelief. He indirectly killed a person, yet he didn't feel the slightest bit of remorse!
Lucy looked at him in disbelief. He indirectly killed a person, yet he didn't feel the slightest bit of remorse!
She gasped for breath and lowered her head to ask the little fellow, "Do you have Maddox's number?"
The boundless guilt made her unable to breathe. She could not bring the dead back to life, but at least she had to go to the mourning hall to apologize to her grandfather and everyone in the Pate family. This was what she owed them.
"...Yes." Under the cold stare of the scum, the little fellow braced herself to take out Maddox's mobile phone number and handed it to Lucy.
However, before she could catch the phone, a big hand with clear joints was inserted into it. She snatched the phone away and deleted Maddox's number neatly.
Arthur tightened his handsome face and threw the phone to the little fellow. He bent down, his hand passing through Lucy's legs and waist, and was about to forcefully carry her away.
He would not allow her to care so much about other men!
"Arthur, let me go!" Lucy's hands and feet were struggling, and his eyes were red. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. If she was a little later, she wouldn't even have the chance to apologize to her grandfather in person!
Seeing this scene, the little fellow was so anxious that she jumped up and down and shouted, "Put down my mommy quickly!"
Why did the atmosphere suddenly become like this?
How anxious a living person was!
The snowflakes fell on Arthur's cold face, and his eyes became deeper and colder. He ignored the mother and son and walked forward alone.
"Nanlu Arthur, do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life? I've already killed Grandpa Pate, yet you don't even give me a chance to apologize?" Lucy cried out in a heart-wrenching manner. His voice was a bit sharp because it was too loud, and tears involuntarily flowed out.
From the corner of his eye, he saw the tears crazily gushing out of her face. Arthur's heart ached for her, as if she was being gnawed by tens of millions of ants.
There was a trace of pain in his eyes, but he still held her in his arms and got into the car.
Caden stepped on her short legs and struggled to catch up with him. She also got in the car.
Lucy crawled to the side, pushed open the door, and was about to get out. No matter what, she had to
apologize to her grandfather's funeral today!
Arthur pulled her onto his lap and slammed the door shut. With a dark expression, he ordered the driver, "Go to the Pate family."
Hearing this, Lucy stopped struggling and looked at him in shock.
He turned his head away from her.
Lucy retracted his gaze and stared blankly at the seat in front of Maddox. She had indirectly killed his grandfather and had even implicated the Pate family twice. He had not even sent her an invitation after his funeral. Would the Pate family let her in?
Soon, the car arrived at the Pate family's house.
There was a white cloth hanging at the door of the Pate family's house. Without entering, they could feel the solemn and sorrowful atmosphere, and faint crying sounds could be heard from inside.
The white light pierced Lucy's heart. She got out of the car and stood at the door in a daze. For a moment, she did not dare to move forward... She did not know how to face those people from the Pate family.
Arthur asked the little fellow to stay in the car, while he pulled Lucy with an expressionless face and walked to the Pate family.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Johnson. The Pate family didn't hire you." The bodyguards standing at the door stopped them.
Arthur said, "Go in and tell them that I want to light incense for the old man on behalf of the Johnson family."
The two bodyguards looked at each other. One of them went in, while the other stood outside and looked at them.
Lucy bit her lower lip tightly, and her palms were sweating. She wanted to apologize to her Maddox grandfather and the Pate family, but she also knew that the Pate family would never treat her well.
Soon, there was a flurry of footsteps at the door. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Gail, dressed in black, ran out with red eyes. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped Lucy in the face. "How can you still have the face to come to our Pate family?!"
"What are you doing?" Arthur protected Lucy behind him. A storm was brewing on his handsome face, and blue veins stood out on his forehead.
The woman who beat him in front of him was tired of living!
"Does Mr. Johnson feel sorry for me?" Gail burst into tears and shouted, "You'll feel sorry for me if I hit your wife. My grandfather is dead. Do you know how sad I am?"
She pounded her chest with her fists and choked with sobs.
Only then did Lucy realize that the woman who glared at her in the hospital was from the Pate family. She covered her painful and swollen face, walked in front of Gail, and bowed to him ninety times. "I'm
sorry."
In addition to being sorry, she didn't know what to say.
It was useless to say anything when he was dead.
