Chapter 592 - Theres A Voice Recording
The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray
Karen had expected Cheyenne to take at least 20 minutes to bring a doctor over from the outpatient wing.
But Cheyenne actually took only less than two minutes to return!
At this moment, Karen was astonished. She was also extremely thankful that she hadnât committed to her action just now. Otherwise, Cheyenne would have caught her, and she would be dead meat then!
âMom, why are you standing there? I told you not to move around just now!â Cheyenne immediately walked over and helped Karen sit down by the bed.
She explained smilingly, âI was lucky enough to run into Dr. Stevens, so I asked him to come here. If you need any medicine later, Iâll go get it.â
âHa, so thatâs what happened! Indeed, weâre very lucky.â Karen chuckled wryly.
Dr. Stevens entered and checked Karenâs ankle.
Although Karen said that it hurt, there was neither redness nor swelling, much less any misalignment. It was just an ordinary ankle twist, and there werenât any major issues.
âThere are no major issues with your motherâs ankle. She just has to rest here for a while,â Dr. Stevens said calmly.
âItâs not serious? Doesnât she have to apply some medicine or something?â Cheyenne asked worriedly.
Dr. Stevens looked at Karen. âThatâs not necessary. Maybe your mother has a low pain tolerance, but thereâs actually no major issue at all.â
Karenâs expression was a little unnatural as she hurriedly said, âThere really doesnât seem to be any major issue with me! I think that I might have suddenly sprained my ankle, so I received a great shock! Haha, Cheyenne is just really filial, so she immediately looked for a doctor when she saw that I had twisted my ankle. Sorry to have embarrassed myself in front of you, Dr. Stevens!
Dr. Stevens smiled. âItâs okay as long as there is no major problem with you. Iâll get going now then.â
Then he left the ward straight away.
Cheyenne saw the doctor out and thanked him several times before returning to the ward and asking, âMom, does your ankle still hurt now?â
âUh⦠it seems much better than before. It basically doesnât hurt anymore.â Karen pretended to move her ankle a few times and then took a few steps.
Cheyenne sighed in relief. âIâm relieved then!â
But she didnât notice that Karen was even more relieved than her.
I was so close!
I was so close to being discovered!
Fortunately, she had managed to give herself an out, thanks to her wits!
When Karen turned around, she raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead from fright.
But at the same time, she also made up her mind. She probably wouldnât be able to kill William!
Every time she wanted to make a move against him, various incidents would crop up, be it intentional or not.
Including the three failed attempts before this, William had experienced five assassinations in total.
The first assassination was the violent car accident, which strangely didnât kill William but only turned him into a vegetable. Moreover, it was very likely that he might wake up within two days.
The second time, she had tried to remove Williamâs oxygen tube but was interrupted by Cheyenne, who hadnât fallen asleep.
During the third and fourth times, Karen had been hindered by the hitman disguised as a doctor, who had been sent by the Herons. In the end, the hitman had failed and had been tortured by Lucas.
Today, it was already the fifth time. She had tried to look for an opportunity to kill him. But before she could take action, her plans had been foiled by the doctor who had come early.
Even though Karen wasnât a superstitious person, she couldnât help wondering if William was being protected by some entity.
Why is he always so lucky??Karen was indignant, but she was really terrified too.
Today, she had already found the best opportunity. But she reckoned that even until William woke up, she wouldnât be able to find another chance to take action.
So she decided to run away immediately before William woke up and escape as far as possible!
She wouldnât mind escaping to another state either!
In short, she didnât want to see the fiend Lucas ever again!
After resting patiently for a while, Karen said, âMy ankle is fine now, Cheyenne. Iâll go out to get something.â
Seeing that Karen could walk properly, Cheyenne said, âAlright, go ahead. Be careful on your way, and watch out for cars on the road.â
âYes, yes, I got it!â Karen agreed perfunctorily before picking up her purse and scurrying out of the hospital.
First of all, she would return to the lousy apartment William rented and hide all the jewelry, bank cards, and other valuables in her suitcase. She would then think of a way to return to the lake villa to get more thingsâ¦
While Karen was letting her imagination run, someone stood in front of her to hinder her from leaving.
Caught off guard, she almost collided into this person. She stopped and immediately glared at him. âWho are you? Donât you have any eyes? Canât you see that thereâs someone in front of you?â
The person who stopped in front of Karen was a middle-aged man in his fifties.
He didnât mind Karenâs vicious words and instead asked directly, âYou must be Ms. Karen Turner, right? I have a wonderful plan I want to work on with you. I think you will definitely be interested.â
The visitor seemed very sure of himself.
Karenâs first reaction was that she had met a conman, and she immediately yelled, âI donât have any money, and I donât want to invest in anything. Youâd better find someone else! Iâm busy now! Donât get in my way!â
With that, she wanted to walk around the strange middle-aged man.
âMs. Turner, if you leave just like that, I bet you will definitely regret your decision in the future because what I have in my hands will land you in prison and keep you behind bars for the rest of your life!â The gloomy voice of the middle-aged man sounded.
Karen stopped in her tracks and was instantly terrified.
âYou⦠What nonsense are you babbling about? I⦠I donât know what youâre talking about!â Karen naturally denied it.
The middle-aged man took out his phone and waved it in front of Karen. âDonât worry. I think you will definitely change your mind after listening to this recording I have.â
He clicked on the audio of a recording on his phone.
âCraig, you should know very well that you donât have long to live and that your daughter has also been diagnosed with cancer and requires a lot of money for treatment! Anyway, Iâve already told you that I have fifty grand here. Although itâs not much, Iâm afraid you wonât be able to earn that much money even before you die!
âI will give you this money now to cure your daughter. You just need to use your life to do this one matter for me. I think youâre smart enough to know what to choose!
âSurely you donât want your daughter to die at a young age, do you? Besides, itâs not like I need you to do this. If you donât agree, I will go to someone elseâ¦â
âOkay! I agree! But you have to promise to give me the fifty grand in cash!â
âOkay, itâs a deal then!â
The recording only had the voices of a man and a woman, but Karenâs face was already terribly pale.
She never thought that the conversation between her and the driver she had hired to assassinate William would end up in the hands of a complete stranger!
