Chapter 296


    Chapter 296 Stopped Breathing On The Spot


    Under the light of the wallmp, Daphney motionless on the floor of the living room.


    Vivian’s heart was beating wildly. She even felt that her breathing had stopped.


    She stood there nkly for a long time beforeing back to her senses.


    She then ran upstairs in a panic, afraid that Julian, who was in the guest room, would hear her. She


    carefully returned to her room and silently locked the door behind her.


    Vivian looked at the sugar water that Daphne had just ced on the floor. She raised her hand to cover


    her chest, feeling so nervous that her heart was about to jump out.

    Taking two deep breaths, Vivian tried her best to calm herself down. Then, she picked up the bowl of


    sugar water from the ground and walked into the bathroom. She poured all of it into the toilet bowl.


    Then, she pressed the flush button.


    After she saw that all of them had been washed clean, she took the bowl out of the bathroom, still in a


    state of shock. She then took the tray over and ced it on the coffee table. She also ced the bowl


    on top of it. Only then did she get on the bed in a state of panic.


    Vivian hugged her knees and sat on the bed. Her gaze inadvertently fell on her slippers at the door.


    She quickly ran down, put on her slippers, and returned to the bed to sit down again. She panted


    heavily, her heart beating wildly.


    Thinking about the scene just now, she felt a little uneasy.


    Thinking back to when she was standing at the staircase and looking at Daphne in the living room,


    Daphne did not move at all. It looked like she had fallen unconscious.


    But Daphne had already heard what she said. If she woke up tomorrow, Daphne would tell Sarah


    everything she had just heard. . .


    No way! Impossible!


    Just now, when she saw her not moving at all. . .


    She wouldn’t be dead, right?


    When this thought popped up in her mind, Vivian could only feel cold sweat on her back. A bone-


    piercing chill ran down her spine from head to toe, causing her to be unable to resist the urge tosh


    out.


    Impossible!


    Absolutely impossible!


    However, if Daphne were to lie in the living room for an entire night without being treated in time, her


    life might be in danger!


    Thinking of this, Vivian picked up the phone at the bedside to find Hannah’s number and was about to


    call her.


    But when her hand pressed the button on the phone, her movements stopped again!


    If she saved Daphne tonight, then she would definitely be doomed tomorrow!


    Should she call, or not?


    Vivian sat on the bed and hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to do.


    Time passed by slowly. Afraid that the lights in her room would arouse people’s suspicion, Vivian


    turned off the lights andid on the bed again. She kept struggling in her thoughts in the dark night.


    Seeing that the time on the phone had already reached two o’clock in the morning, Vivian really could


    not bear it and got out of bed. She first walked back and forth in the bedroom.


    Thinking about how two or three hours had passed, but Daphne actually did not make a sound, Vivian


    had a moment of mental struggle in the bedroom before gently opening the door.


    She carefully went down to the second floor with the tip of her foot. She used themp on the stairs to


    look and found that Daphne was still lying on the ground without moving!


    With a bang in her heart, Vivian was so scared that her whole body trembled. Then, she went back to


    her room in fear.


    The moment she closed the door, she was so scared that she gasped for breath. Her hand was


    covering her chest, and she was unable to recover for a long time.


    Could it be that Daphne was really dead?


    What to do? What should she do? If Daphne really died, wouldn’t she be the murderer?


    No! It’s not like that!


    She didn’t want to kill her!


    Daphne was the one who lost her bnce and stepped on air. That was why she fell!


    But what would others think if they knew all of this? Others would definitely think that it was she, Vivian,


    who pushed Daphne down the stairs!


    That’s not right!


    Everyone else in the vi had fallen asleep just now. No one knew about the matter of Daphne pushing


    and shoving when she went down the stairs. And when Daphne fell down, she actually did not shout at


    all.


    The people of Cooper Family did not know, but what about the police?


    The police would definitely be able to find her footprints! At that time, even if she had a thousand


    mouths, she wouldn’t be able to exin it clearly!


    No way! Absolutely not!


    Vivian sat by the bedside and kept taking deep breaths. After sitting by the bed for about half an hour,


    she felt that her mental state was almost there. Only then did she swallow her saliva with difficulty and


    walk into the bathroom.


    Vivian took a rag from inside and took off her slippers. Then, she walked out of the bedroom


    barefooted.


    Vivian recalled the ce she had just walked past. From the second floor, she wiped it all the way to


    her room. When she felt that everyone was alright, she returned to her room in satisfaction.


    When Vivian woke up in the morning, she was frightened by a hysterical scream. She sat up from the


    bed and heard the heart-wrenching screamsing from downstairs. She immediately put on her


    clothes and ran out in a panic.


    When she reached the door, she saw Julian walking to the door by himself and opening the door.


    Vivian looked at Julian and was stunned for a moment. She quickly walked to him and reached out to


    support him.


    “What is that sound? What exactly happened?” Julian asked Vivian nervously.


    “I just got up and heard someone shouting downstairs. Let’s go downstairs and see what happened.”


    Vivian kept a little calm as she spoke and led Julian downstairs.


    The deeper they went, the clearer their cries became.


    Julian could hear that something was not right. When Vivian brought him to the second floor and was


    about to walk down the stairs to the first floor, he felt Vivian’s body freeze on the spot.


    “Vivian, help me down!”


    Julian heard everyone calling the same person at the same time. It was his mother!


    He anxiously held onto the handrail of the stairs and was brought to the living room by Vivian.


    At this time, everyone from the Cooper Family was surrounding Daphne.


    Sarah squatted on the ground and kept shaking Daphne’s body, “Aunt Daphne, wake up! Wake up!”


    Touching Daphne’s cold body, Sarah’s tears kept rolling down.


    “Sarah! What happened to my mother? What happened to my mother?” Julian anxiously asked when


    he heard Sarah crying. He reached out his other hand and tried to grab something, but there was


    nothing.


    “Julian!” Sarah stood up with tears all over her face and supported Julian to Daphne’s side.


    Julian bent down in a panic. He reached out his hand and finally touched his mother’s cold body.


    “Mom! What happened to you? What’s wrong with you? Hurry up and speak! What’s wrong with you?”


    Julian’s hand touched his mother’s face, and his tears kept flowing out. He looked in front of him and


    shouted, “Hurry up and call the hospital! Call the hospital!”


    Sarah looked at Julian, who had lost control of himself, and held him with tears in her eyes. “Julian, I


    have already called. . .”


    Julian turned his head and looked in Sarah’s direction. He held her tightly with both hands and shouted


    hysterically, “Sarah! I know you never lie! Quickly tell me! Hurry up and tell me, what happened to my


    mother?”


    Sarah’s tears once again rushed out. She silently shook her head, “Julian. . .”


    “Tell me quickly! Did you hear that? Sarah Wilson! What happened to my mother? Tell me!” Julian’s


    voice was louder than thest.


    The butler looked at Julian who was on the verge of copse and wiped his tears. “Young Master. . .


    Madam. . . She. . . identally fell from the stairsst night. . .”


    “And then??! Why didn’t anyonee outst night? Why?” Julian shouted at the top of his lungs. He


    hadpletely lost control of himself.


    Everyone was silent. All that was left was the incessant sobbing.


    “Mother! Mother, speak!” Julian reached out and picked his mother up from the ground. He held her in


    his arms and kept crying for his mother.


    However, Daphne, who was in his arms, could not hear him no matter how hard her son shouted.


    No one knew that when Daphne fell down from the stairsst night, she hit the back of her head hard


    on the most important position of her head. She stopped breathing on the spot!


    An ambnce from the hospital came. Very soon, the doctor came in to check.


    After checking, he looked at Julian and announced. “The patient is no longer breathing. My


    condolences. . .”


    He turned around and was about to leave.


    “Bullshit! Who said that my mom isn’t breathing? Her body was still warm! Sarah, quick! Quickly let


    them carry my mother into the car! Hurry up! My mother can still be saved! I beg you, Sarah. . .”


    Julian simply could not ept this cruel reality. He shouted Sarah’s name and begged her.


    “Julian!” Sarah’s heart was broken when she saw Julian like this. She could not bear to see him like


    this. She looked up at the doctor and begged, “Doctor, please take her to the hospital and check her


    again! Please. . .”


    The doctor sighed lightly and understood the family members’ feelings. He still raised his hand to the


    nurse beside him and said, “Carry the patient into the ambnce!”


    “Yes!” When the two nurses heard that, they immediately walked over and carried Daphne into the


    ambnce together.


    Julian insisted on following Daphne to the hospital. Sarah could not convince him, but she was also


    worried, so she followed him to the car.


    Vivian wanted to get in the car, but she was stopped, even though she was crying.


    Seeing the ambnce drive away, Vivian still looked at the driver at the side with teary eyes and


    instructed, “Take me to the hospital! Quickly take me to the hospital!”


    The butler saw Vivian’s anxious and copsing expression and let the driver drive away with her.


    Seeing Vivian’s car drive away, the butler turned back to look at Hannan and asked, “How is the old


    man?”


    “He just woke up and did not say a word. . .”


    “Take good care of the old man. Don’t let anything happen again!”


    “Yes!”


    Because of Julian’s insistence, Daphne was still sent to the emergency room. But after a while, all the


    doctors and nurses came out in less than 15 minutes.


    They looked at Julian who was nervous and uneasy in the corridor and helplessly announced, “The


    patient was no longer breathing and had heartbeat when she was sent here. I’m sorry. . .”


    Julian listened to the doctor’s words and immediately went forward with a breakdown. He reached out


    and grabbed the doctor’s arm.


    “Impossible! Doctor! My mother is not sick at all. She has always been healthy. How could she be ill?


    You are wrong! You must be wrong!”


    Julian could not believe what he had heard. He grabbed the doctor’s arm tightly. He would not let go


    even if he died
