Chapter 513 - About To Be Exposed

Karen was shocked, and she quickly pretended to be angry. She questioned, “What could I have done? Of course, I wiped his body and changed his clothes! He’s my husband. Even if he’s seriously injured and unconscious now, I still have to take good care of him. I’m not like you. You don’t care about anything at all, and all you do is wander around all day!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lucas stared at Karen for a long time before suddenly asking, “Why did Nikki visit you on the afternoon of William’s accident?”

Karen’s expression changed drastically. She had a guilty conscience, so when she heard Lucas ask about that day, she immediately became nervous.

But she came back to her senses the next moment and thought that it was impossible for Lucas to know what she and Nikki had talked about in her apartment that day.

“Hmph, Nikki is my niece. How is it any of your business that she came to talk with me?” Karen rolled her eyes in disdain.

Lucas said coldly, “It seems that you two have a really good relationship. In the past few days, you two met several times, and she had to travel here all the way from LA each time. You two really have endless things to talk about, huh?”

Karen’s heart dropped and skipped a beat.?How does this bastard know that I’ve met Nikki several times lately? Did he investigate me?

No, that’s impossible. My plan with Nikki is extremely secretive and well-hidden. No one should have found out!

He must have gone to ask the security guards at the entrance of the complex.

But she began to feel a little afraid and less confident. She snapped, “What are you poking your nose into my business for? I can meet and talk with anyone I want. You’re just a good-for-nothing husband. Are you trying to teach me what to do?

“I’m telling you, I’ve been displeased with you for a long time. If you keep creating trouble, I’ll definitely make Cheyenne divorce you one day!”

Lucas smiled faintly. “I was just asking a few casual questions. Why are you so upset? Could it be that you and Nikki have really done something against your conscience?”

“Bullshit! You’re the one who did something against your conscience!” Karen immediately cursed. But at the same time, she subconsciously clenched her fists and looked at Lucas with a wary expression.

It can’t be. Does this punk really know something??She couldn’t help being a little worried.

Lucas saw all her actions and sneered in his head.

He had been worried that he might have wronged Karen. But now that he saw her reaction, he knew that William’s accident was obviously and definitely very much related to her!

He really didn’t have anything to say to a woman like Karen.

The only question now was, if Karen was indeed the one who had tried to get William killed, now that William was still alive, though comatose and nearing a vegetative state, would she find another opportunity to strike again?

Numerous thoughts immediately flashed through Lucas’s mind, and he subconsciously walked toward William’s bed.

In a moment of panic and shock, the frightened Karen hurriedly covered William’s body with the bedsheets. But if someone took a close look now, they would immediately find something wrong with his clothes under the sheets. They would also discover the numerous pinch marks all over his body that Karen couldn’t cover in time.

Karen immediately took two steps forward and pushed Lucas away. “What are you doing? Stay far away. Don’t come close. I get annoyed when I see you!”

Lucas kept his eyes fixed on William for a while, but he remained standing a little farther away and didn’t go nearer to him. He said in a clear voice, “William, just sleep well here. I’ve already looked for a very competent medical expert and invited her over. You’ll soon be cured and regain consciousness.”

Karen’s fingers immediately trembled for a moment.?What? This bastard even found some medical expert to cure William Carter?

She started to panic, but she soon felt that it was impossible.

“Hmph, what are you bragging about? A medical expert? What kind of expert can a good-for-nothing like you find?” Karen mocked mercilessly.

Lucas said with a faint smile, “It’s a medical expert that the Coles found for me. They should be considered reliable, right? Karen, don’t you want William to wake up sooner?”

As soon as she heard that it was someone the Coles of San Francisco invited, Karen, who was thinking that she would definitely chase away any doctor that Lucas found regardless of who they were, was immediately speechless.

Karen would never dare to chase away an expert the Coles invited!

At the same time, Karen began to get flustered.

She reckoned that the person the Coles invited had to be an excellent doctor who was at least better than the doctors here.

If William was rescued and regained consciousness, what would happen?

If William was rescued, all her plans would be foiled, and the tens of thousands of dollars she had spent would go to waste.

Moreover, Karen had also heard that most people in vegetative states could still hear and feel everything. They just couldn’t move their bodies.

Over the past two days, she had thought that William would never be able to regain consciousness, so she had physically abused him whenever there was no one around. She would even hurl vicious insults at him and whisper into his ear that she was the mastermind who had planned his accident.

If William regained consciousness, he would expose all her misdeeds!

It went without saying what William would do to her then.

No, I can’t let this happen!?Karen thought nervously, her heart full of fear, her hands trembling.

Lucas watched coldly as she slipped into a panic because he had mentioned saving William. He snorted coldly and turned around to leave the ward.

After exiting, he immediately called someone. “Arrange for a few reliable people to come here and protect my father-in-law.”

If he guessed correctly, Karen would definitely act against William again out of fear that he would regain consciousness now that she had heard what he said.

Lucas would then be able to grasp evidence of her attempting to kill William again.

As he expected, shortly after he left, Karen was so anxious that her forehead was drenched in sweat. But she couldn’t think of a solution for a while, so she had no choice but to call Nikki.

“Nikki, bad news!” she said in a panic. “Lucas Gray just came to the hospital and said that he found a medical expert to treat William Carter, and it is very likely that he will regain consciousness! He also knows that you’ve come to my place several times. Do you think he’s started to suspect us? What should I do now?!”
