Chapter 57 A Bunch of Monkeys
Deborah stared nkly out the window without responding, seeming as though she couldn’t hear
Ashton’s words.
Ashton’s expression was fierce, as if he wanted to strangle Deborah, ‘Helen has been in aa for
half a month. When she woke up, she was told that she needed a double leg amputation.
“She’s your sister, and she also exined what happened with Alyssa. She didn’t mean to do it.
Deborah, how could you be so cruel?” Deborah finally reacted and suddenly turned her gaze back to
Ashton, her deep, dark eyes staring at him intensely.
Ashton didn’t know what was going on, but when their eyes met, he felt a strange and inexplicable
sensation, and for a moment, he even felt a chill run down his back.
Deborah asked him word by word, “She’s not dead?”
Alyssa fell off a cliff and her body was burned beyond recognition.
Helen jumped from the fifth floor, but she was not dead?
Ashton was seething with anger and disgust. “Deborah, are you disappointed? Helen is a kind-hearted
andpassionate person. She survived this ordeal because of divine intervention…”
Before he could finish, Deborah suddenly got up from the bed and rushed out of the room, barefoot and
without even putting on her shoes, her eyes bloodshot and frenzied
Ashton was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what she was about to do.
He immediately got up and caught up with her in just a few steps, grabbing her by the hand. “Do you
still want to harm Helen? Do you
want to die?”
Deborah pushed and shoved him with all her might, but Ashton held her tightly and dragged her back
to the bedside, throwing her onto the bed Deborah, if you every a hand on Helen again, Ill make sure
you regret it.”
Deborah fell back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling without any reaction for a long time
After a while. Deborah sat up and startedughing uncontrobly like a madwoman. “She’s still alive!
Hahaha, she fell from the fifth floor and she’s still alive! It’s divine intervention, hahaha, divine
intervention!”
Ashton frowned, “What’s wrong with you?”
Deborah didn’t hear what he said, she just keptughing uncontrobly.
Jeff couldn’t bear to see it and couldn’t help but tell Ashton, “Mr. Mullen, Mrs. Mullen hasn’t eaten or
drunk anything for half a month.
“I’ve been watching her, and I’ve seen her vomit blood a few times. Her body and mind may have
problems. Should we do a check-up
for her?”
Ashton interrupted him angrily. “She can survive without eating or drinking for half a month? Jeff, I
know you feel sorry for Deborah, but you should know that she’s not worth pitying for wanting to harm
Helen.”)
Jeff sym,
zed. “Mrs. Mullen could only survive with nutritional injections, and the fact that she’s been vomiting
blood these past
few days is true
“That’s enough, I don’t want to hear anymore. Keep an eye on her and don’t let her see Helen again
“Ashton had no patience left and
left the ward, mming the door behind him.
Deborah’sughter persisted for a long time, and she couldn’t seem to stop. She had not shed a single
tear until now. Finally, she had
a reaction, but it was an uncontroble fit ofughter.
Sheughed and reached for her phone that was thrown aside.
Jelf couldn’t help but advise her, “Mrs. Mullen, Ms. Bauer is also going to have both legs amputated.
Her life is ruined. For your own.
good, maybe you should stop now.”
Deborah didn’t respond, her fingers sliding across the screen of her phone
Jeff thought there were probably many photos of Alyssa on her phone that he didn’t have the heart to
look at, so he just stood by her side and watched her
After a while, his own phone rang, and it was a call from Helen’s mother, Kinsley
Jeff’s face showed unease. Since Helen fell from a high building half a month ago, the Bauer family
didn’t know about it
This call now made him feel a little uneasy
He hesitated for a moment but answered the phone.
As soon as he answered, Kinsley’s hoarse, weeping voice came through, Jeff, is what Deborah sent
me true? My Helen, did something really happen to her?”
Jeff’s face darkened as he immediately looked over at Deborah on the bed.
Deborah still held her phone in her hand, but now she wasn’t staring at it. Instead, she lifted her head
and smiled at him.
At that moment, Jeff began to feel uneasy. He walked over to Deborah and snatched the phone out of
her hand.
The phone screen was still on the chat interface. He saw that Deborah had sent two photos and a
voice message.
One photo showed Deborah holding a knife and holding Helen hostage on the rooftop. She had taken a
selfie with the two of them.
The other photo showed Helen lying unconscious on a stretcher, covered in blood and being rushed by
medical staff and Ashton to
the emergency room.
As for the voice message, Jeff clicked on it, and heard his own voice speaking.
“Mrs. Mullen, Ms. Bauer is now going to have both her legs amputated, and her life will be ruined.
Please stop now for your own
good.”
The words Jeff had just said to Deborah had been recorded and sent to Kinsley by Deborah, who was
ying with her phone.
Over the past half month, Jeff had thought that Deborah waspletely devastated, that she had lost
all her ability to think and
reason and wouldn’t do anything.
But now he realized he was wrong.
Kinsley’s voice, filled with grief and sorrow, continued toe through the phone. Jeff opened his
mouth, but didn’t know how to
exin.
The photos and voice message sent by Deborah had already revealed everything.
The call was abruptly ended. Less than half an hourter, Kinsley and Devon rushed to the hospital
together.
Kinsley’s makeup was ruined by tears, her hair was disheveled, and her face was filled with agony.
The two of them rushed straight to Helen’s hospital room, where they saw a pale-faced Helen lying on
the bed and Ashton outside the room discussing amputation treatment options with the doctor.
Kinsley rushed into the room and copsed onto the floor. “My Helen, she’s my only treasure. If anyone
dares to amputate her, they’ll have to kill me first! Ah just kill me now!”
Deborah stood near,
the hallway, insistent on seeing what was going on. Jeff couldn’t stop her, but he was afraid she would
lose control and cause trouble, so he had to stay by her side.
She watched Kinsley wailing at the door of the hospital room, listened to Helen’s piercing criesing
from inside the room, and saw Ashton at a loss for what to do.
Sheughed uncontrobly, her eyes and eyebrows bending.
Kinsley was emotionally out of control, “No! I won’t allow! My daughter can’t have her limbs amputated!
Deborah who pushed my daughter down and caused her to be like this! I’m going to call the
police now, Deborah must go and be shot!”
ahton had a splitting headache and fried to persuade her in a gentle voice, “Mrs. Bauer, please calm
down, Helen…”
y screamed and wailed, “Don’t switch the topic! I want Deborah to go to jail for attempted murder!
Even if she doesn’t get the death penalty, she should be sentenced to life in prison and sit there until
she dies.
“Where are the police? Devon, you have to help our daughter and call the police!”
Ashton rushed to help Kinsley, tofort Helen, and to apologize to Devon.
Deborah’sughter became so loud and uncontroble that she couldn’t stand up straight.
Perhaps herughter was too much to bear, and Ashton, who was busy and sweating profusely, finally
noticed her.
Jeff looked fearful and said in a deep voice, “Mrs. Mullen, please stopughing, stopughing.”
Deborah couldn’t stop, holding her stomach and continuing tough, “It’s so funny. Jeff, why aren’t you
Ashton was furious, and he approached Deborah with a few steps, staring at her with a cold voice,
“Shut up.”
Deborah pointed at him,ughing uncontrobly, “I brought the monkeys here.”
Ashton’s expression grew even uglier, and he covered her mouth with his hand. “I told you to shut up,
stopughing!”
Meanwhile, at the end of the hallway, a passing figure quickly turned back.
N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
Joseph felt a sense of familiarity when he caught a glimpse of the person. When he turned back, he
realized that they were his old acquaintances.
He chuckled and said, “Shawn, there’s a circus performance at the hospital today. What a coincidence
that I came!”
The Unknown fore
delighted to see Ashtoni
Aiment. He had an appointment with a therapist scheduled for today hot he no longer
Teh in a hash to go
He pulled over a chan, crossed hes long legs, and leaned back to enjoy the show
From where he was sitting he had a great view of Ashton’s face and Deboratrs back
he looked forward a bit, he could even see Kinsley throwing a tantrum and Devon looking sad it was
like having a VIP seat
Shawn, the butter, didn’t want to cause any trouble and tried to persuade Joseph, Mr Mullen, your
doctor is still waiting for you. You shouldn’t get involved in these family matters.”
But Joseph waspletely absorbed in what he was watching and didn’t pay any attention to Shawn’s
words
Seeing this, Shawn turned to Ben Evans, who hade along with them
Ben Evans was also amused and immediately took out his phone, saying, “It’s no problem. Il send a
message to his therapist and reschedule the appointment for an hourter.”
Shawn was speechless.
Meanwhile, not far away, Kinsley had gotten up from her tantrum and was running towards Deborah,
shouting.
“You wicked woman! You caused Helen’s death and now you dare toe here! I’ll kill you now, even
if it means risking my own life!”
She reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a fruit knife, holding it up and advancing towards
Deborah
Just as the knife was about to stab Deborah, Ashton stepped forward and stopped Kinsley, saying,
“Mrs. Bauer, please calm down. Helen’s fall was an ident. It was my fault, not Deborah’s ”
Kinsley’s fury escted as she eximed, ‘Ashton, what are you even saying?! Deborah sent me
photos as evidence, and she even confessed to it!
“Helen couldn’t have identally fallen from the hospital rooftop. It’s not like tripping on the sidewalk or
falling from a low building Falling from the fifth floor rooftop couldn’t have been a mere ident!”
Ashton stood in front of Deborah, his cold gaze turning to Devon. I made it clear that Deborah didn’t
push Helen off the rooftop. I’ll give you both an exnation.”
Kinsley cried out sharply, “Ashton, you’ve disappointed me so much! Helen poured her heart and soul
out to you for so many years. If it weren’t for my daughter turning out like this, I wouldn’t be causing a
scene like this!
“But you know best what two legs meant to Helen. This time, I won’t let it go. I want to see the
surveince footage from the day of the incident at the hospital. No one can protect Deborah and hide
her crime!”
In front of the crowd’s gaze, Ashton’s expression became ugly.
Jeff stepped forward to exin, “At the time, Mrs. Mullen did indeed bring Ms. Bauer to the rooftop. But
“Later, Ms. Bauer lost control and cried, saying she was sorry to Mrs. Mullen, that she had hurt Alyssa,
and then she jumped off the rooftop herself.”
Kinsley screamed, “That’s impossible. Unless I see the surveince footage with my own eyes and see
the entire process!”
Jeff called the hospital director over, who spoke kindly, Mrs. Bauer, the situation on that day was indeed
like that. I went to the
rooftop at the ind witnessed the entire process.
“But because it was evening and the weather was bad, there was only one surveince camera on the
rooftop, and it didn’t capture the location of the incident. The other camera was already broken and
wasn’t repaired in time.”
Kinsley looked unhinged as she eximed, “I won’t believe it. You’re all helping Ashton lie to me! My
daughter has been harmed like
