Yasmin cried and seemed very emotional. She held Lois, who looked pale and was crying nonâ
stop. Her tears were even more genuine than those of people who had lost their family members.
I frowned at her. Her behavior was very inappropriate.
âStop crying! Heâs not dead yet,â I said with a frown.
Upon seeing me, Yasmin acted aggressively, eagerly approaching me like a hungry dog ready to attack.
I wanted to slap her till her face was skewed. But before I could do anything, someone pulled me away and held me in his arms.
Steven stared at Yasmin without emotion, giving off a scary vibe.
Yasmin got scared when she saw Steven and decided to give up her unreasonable actions. She backed away in horror. âItâs him, Mrs. Ford⦠Heâs the murderer!â
Lois glared at Steven.
Yasmin seemed to have a way with the elders. Lois quickly assumed that Steven was responsible for the car accident. Without hesitation, she moved forward and slapped him. Although Steven stood his ground when protecting me, he ultimately accepted the slap.
Lois still planned to slap him again, but I stepped forward and held her wrist. âMrs. Ford, Yasmin is one of the individuals responsible for Stephanieâs death. Do not trust anything that Yasmin says.â
âI have a strong feeling! Iâm sure heâs the murderer!â Lois said angrily, visibly shaken and with red eyes.
âMike was killed by him, and so was Stephie!â Louis hated Steven and even wished to kill him to avenge Stephanie and Michael.
I protected Steven and prevented Lois from harming him again.
Yasmin kept crying. âMike was stabbed by the murderer because he was trying to save me. Mrs.
Ford, itâs my fault.â
She began acting. She took every opportunity to impress Lois in order to get her approval for marrying Michael.
Back then, when Yasmin and Michael were madly in love, Lois had no issues with her. Later, Lois discovered that Michael had used the marriage contract as a way to bully me. Due to the marriage contract, she refused to approve his marriage with Yasmin.
Yasmin also knew that Lois was the key to marrying into the Ford family.
âYouâre such a jinx. Michael is still alive, but youâre crying as if heâs already dead.â After Rachel sent Zion into the elevator and returned, she heard Yasmin crying from a distance.
*Mrs. Ford, be alert. Sheâs just a jinx. Michael didnât have to get seriously injured. But she was foolish and Michael was stabbed to protect her.â Rachel was furious with Yasmin, wishing to confront her.
Yasmin continued crying. âMrs. Ford, theyâre associates of the murderer, Theyâre slandering me.â
Lois continued to believe that Steven was the murderer and the lunatic, glaring at him fiercely. If someone hadnât come out of the operating room, it seemed like she wouldâve attacked Steven.
Steven had been warily watching them from behind me.
âWhy didnât you dodge?â I questioned softly, studying the redness and swelling on Stevenâs cheek.
âShe provided you with a place to live.â Steven was a man who knew right from wrong.
Lols had Indeed been kind to me.
I tightened my grip on Stevenâs hand. âIf someone attacks you in the future, you must dodgeâ¦â
The doctor emerged from the emergency room and looked at Lois. âAre you the victimâs mother?â
With tears streaming down her face, Lois nodded, her fear palpable.
I wanted to help her, but I couldnât because of my current identityâ¦.
âHeâs losing a lot of blood, and the wounds are deep. Weâll try our best to save him, but his survival is uncertain.â
