Chapter 364
Chapter 364 I’m Afraid You’ve Made a Huge Mistake
“Come over here, 0345. You have a phone call.”
Back in the prison, when Raymond, who was spacing out in his cell, heard the prison officer calling out
to him, he rose to his feet and stepped out of the ce.
Presently, he was in a dilemma, not knowing what choice he should make.
Apparently, Crispin, who came from a poor background, was no match for Elias. Moreover, if Raymond
told the truth, Elias might help him get his wife’s illness treated. After all, Elias was extremely powerful,
and the private hospital run by the Winters Family was one of the best in the country.
Raymond was still hesitant as to whether he should betray Crispin, for he desperately wanted to cure
his wife, and time was running out for her.
When he arrived, he hastily picked up the phone and heard Crispin bellowing, “Why did you disobey
my order? Why did you contact Elias? You betrayed me!”
“I didn’t betray you! I didn’t tell him anything!” Raymond replied anxiously while clenching the phone.
your
However, Crispin refuted, “You’re lying! When I went to the hospital to transfer another hospital, I was
targeted by Elias’ bodyguard. Also, your wife is dead. When I arrived wife to
at the hospital, she had already stopped breathing. You decided to trust Elias instead of me. Do you
think a wealthy man like him would sympathize with your situation? He even killed your wife to achieve
his goal. He’ll definitely go looking for you again. Let me make it clear- your wife had already passed
away by the time I arrived at the hospital, and Elias’ bodyguard was just outside the ward!”
Once he said his piece, he hung up the call.
Raymond was rooted to the spot, unable to make heads or tails of the situation. When he came to his
senses, he growled, “You’re spouting nonsense! What happened to my wife? What happened to her?!”
He was plunged into a state of despair. He had been doing everything to ensure that his wife would
stay alive, but things ended up going against his wishes.
Just then, another prison officer came over with a solemn expression. “Raymond, we just received a
call from the hospital. They informed us that your wife passed away yesterday. She experienced heart
failure and her heart has stopped beating.”
Raymond had always been aw-abiding citizen, but he became hysterical at this moment. He grabbed
the prison officer’s clothes and snarled, “What did you say?! I have to see my wife
now! I have to see her now!”
The other prison officer quickly subdued him and mercilessly struck him with a taser, causing him to
copse to the floor, but his tears still streamed down his face uncontrobly.
It was a piece of bad news that was even worse than death for him. After all, he had been doing all he
could to let his wife stay alive.
In the morning, Amanda received a call when she was still sound asleep. When she heard what the
other party said, she became fully awake in an instant and sat straight up on the bed. What?! She’s
dead? How did that happen? What’s the cause of her death?”
“We’re still looking into the matter. It’s said that she suffered from cardiac arrest. I’m heading to the
hospital right now.”
“Okay, I’ll be going to the hospital as well.”
Amanda lifted the quilt and entered the bathroom. After a very quick wash. up, she changed and went
to the hospital.

When everyone arrived at the hospital at 10.00AM, they only saw the woman’s corpse remorseful

Elias and Amanda learned that Raymond’s wife had been dered dead, and her corpse was ready to
be transferred to the mortuary.
“What happened?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Winters. It’s all my fault. I was taking a nap yesterday when a doctor came over and said
he was going to take the patient’s blood pressure measurements. However, not long after he left,
Raymond’s wife suffered from cardiac arrest and soon passed away despite the doctors’ attempt to
save her.”
Yacob wished he could turn back the clock. He had always been a meticulous person, but he was too
exhausted the day before.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
As Amanda looked at the corpse that was covered with a white cloth, she furrowed her brows. “It’s
over. Raymond will never tell us the truth now. The woman he loves is gone, so he no longer has the
desire to get out of jail.”
“You’re so useless!” Elias growled at Yacob before turning around to leave.
Yacob hung his head low in silence, knowing that he was in the wrong. He had disappointed
Elias.
In Elias’ eyes, Yacob would never make such a mistake. To make matters worse, the mistake was so
grave as the murderer managed to kill Raymond’s wife on his watch.
Amanda nced at Yacob and patted his shoulder. “Stop ming yourself. There’s no point wallowing
in self-pity. It’s not your fault that the culprit is too ruthless. Still, there is no doubt. that he’s the person
who has made Raymond a scapegoat.”
With that, she turned around and left as well.
Yacob balled
up his fists, determined to get to the person that made Raymond take the fall.
When Elias entered the car and was ready to head to the prison, Amanda got into the passenger’s
seat. As she buckled up, she said, “Where are you going? Take me with you.”
“It’s fine. I can go there on my own.”
“You’re not going anywhere without me. I can tell you’re furious right now, and you need me to help
calm you down,” Amanda intoned seriously. She was worried that Elias was going to cause a scene,
especially considering his temperament.
The man took a long look at her before driving the car away from the hospital.
On the way to their destination, Elias remained silent all along. Amanda realized that they were
heading to the prison. It seems that he’s going to face Raymond directly.
She wanted to say something as she nced at his side profile. Yet, as she parted her lips, she found
that she couldn’t bring herself to utter a word. So, she looked away and decided to keep quiet.
When they arrived at the prison, the warden told them that Raymond was already aware of his wife’s
death as the hospital had informed them about it. Raymond had gone mad, so they decided to put him
in solitary confinement.
Then, the warden took the two of them to the confinement cell.
When the door was opened with a creak, they saw Raymond facing the wall while seated. Hist face
was pale, his gaze was hollow, and his mind seemed to be somewhere else. It was as if he had lost his
soul.
“Raymond?” Amanda called out to him, but he didn’t respond to her.
Elias walked up to him, and when he saw how listless the man looked, he said, “That person killed your
wife. Are you still going to take the fall for him?”
“Aren’t you the one who killed my wife?” Raymond sneered as a look of disdain appeared on

his face.
Elias fell silent and furrowed his brows.
Raymond went on to say, “You’re a wealthy man, so poor people like us are as insignificant as ants in
your eyes. You killed my wife just to make me expose that person.” Then, he looked Elias in the eye
and continued, “I’m afraid you’ve made a huge mistake, Mr. Winters. I’ll never tell you anything.”
The woman he loved had left for the other world, so no one could threaten him now. Instead, he was
going to seek out his end just to keep his wifepany.
“What makes you think I killed your wife? Do you have any evidence?” Elias questioned.
Nheless, Raymond only scoffed and remained silent, ignoring the two of them altogether.
“Raymond, you have to understand that we’re just trying to get to the truth, so why would we kill your
wife? Elias even sent a bodyguard to protect her. You-”
Before Amanda could finish her words, Raymond refuted hotly, “Say whatever you want, but it’s the
truth that my wife was killed under his ‘protection.”
Although his words were harsh, it was also the truth, and she had no idea what to say to that.
