Chapter 413


    “Chris!” I quickly checked on him. Christopher was already weakened back then, and Monica spiked his


    meds to keep him weak? He was even puking up blood left and right!


    “How do you feel? Are you hurt?” I was on the verge of tears. Does Monica really love Christopher? If


    she really loves him, why did she hurt him so badly?


    “I’m fine. Got all of it out of my system already.” Christopher patted my hand, his gaze gentle. A


    momentter, that tenderness was reced by a fiery ferocity that targeted Monica.


    “You thought nobody realized your little trick, but you forgot one thing. I used to be in the special forces.


    I was trained to recognize and resist the very kind of drug you spiked my meds with. I knew something


    was wrong with the meds the moment I woke up.”


    “Chris!” Monica didn’t struggle anymore, for she was already breaking down, but there was onest


    hope for her—Julia. “Julia…”


    Julia had been keeping her silent ever since Christopher started exposing Monica. She couldn’t believe


    what she was hearing, but she had to ept it. When Monica called out to her, she finally looked up,


    but she wasn’t struggling to pick a side anymore. This time, she was calm and determined.


    “Fine. Let’s make things clear once and for all. Why did you spike Chris’ meds, Monica? I want a


    reason.”


    “I…” Julia’s sudden interrogation caught Monica by surprise. Monica kept stammering, but she couldn’t


    even make a coherent sentence.


    Apparently, Monica had forgotten that Julia was Christopher’s mother. She could let Monica get away


    with a lot of things, but she would never allow Monica to hurt her son. That was the line Monica should


    never cross.


    Julia was already starting to get annoyed with Monica after the problem with the medsst time. With


    the truth out of the bag, Monica might have finally erased thest bit of guilt the Lanes had for the


    Martins.

    “That’s not all. You spiked Eve’s meds too, making it look like she has brain cancer so the doctor would


    make a false report. I mean, it’s your family’s hospital anyway, so you’re the boss. I bet all the medical


    staff was just following your orders.


    “You knew Eve would fall into despair in the face of imminent death, so you bade your time after the


    report was out. Once the opportunity presented itself, you persuaded Eve to leave me, making her


    believe that’s the only way I can be happy.”


    “What? She masterminded the fake diagnosis as well?” The news was as much as a bombshell as


    Jetroina’s destruction to me. I could still remember the day I broke away from Christopher. My heart


    broke into a million pieces, and whenever I thought of it, it was still very painful.


    I thought it was my health problem. I thought the doctor made a wrong diagnosis because I contracted


    some virus that made my condition look like brain cancer. But now you’re telling me that was all just


    Monica’s n? Oh my god, this woman is scary.


    I realized she was ten times scarier than I first thought she was. She even came up with such an


    borate n that managed to fool everyone without batting an eye. All because she wanted me to


    leave Christopher.


    “Tell me the truth, Monica. I want to hear it from you.” Julia nced at me before slowly moving toward


    the left side of the room. She sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, then she waved her hand. Her


    assistant went over to pass her a cigarette and lighter. At that point, I knew Julia was fully calm and


    collected, unlike how she was earlier.


    Monica was looking more and more fearful with every passing moment, but she suddenly buried her


    face in her hands and cackled like a maniac. “Julia, Chris has told you everything. What more can I


    say? He knows everything I did. I don’t think I could have said it better myself.”


    “So you confess? Why then?” Julia put her cigarette out, staring at Monica quietly. I knew Julia was


    having a hard time processing the truth since this must be very shocking to her as well.


    “What do you mean why?” Monica was stillughing, but she was wiping the tears that streamed down


    her cheeks. “I knew something was up between the two of them back at Mr. Lane’s birthday party, so I


    tailed Chris during the fireworks disy. Eventually, I found out he was meeting Yvonne on the ship in


    secret.”
