    wont believe it. I report it to the police and investigate it thoroughly I won’t let Deborah go


    Ashton looked at her and his voice became enlder, “Mrs Bauer, are you doubting me?”


    Devon felt uneasy, knowing he couldn’t alter what had happened to Helen


    The Bauer family still had to carry on, so he stepped forward tofort Kinsley, “Calm down, Ashton


    cares deeply about Helen and would not speak against her Since he has said it like this, the situation


    must be true”


    Kinsley’s face was full of sorrow and anger. She looked incredulously at Devon, “Even you are saying


    this, even you are not standing up for our daughter?


    “Fine, ITI go to the police myself, Ill seek justice for my daughter! No one can make my daughter suffer


    such injustice, not even the Mullen family!”


    As soon as she finished speaking, Devon’s face darkened and he pped her across the face


    “That’s enough. Aren’t you embarrassed enough to make a scene in front of so many people? What


    distinguishes you, the dignified Mrs. Bauer, from an unreasonable shrew?”


    Kinsley was taken aback, and half of her face burned with pain.


    Her body trembled and she suddenly rushed towards the wall next to her and mmed into it fiercely.


    “This is unfair, I might as well die with my daughter!”


    Devon struggled in his mind for a moment, but ultimately decided not to intervene.


    Kinsley had truly hit rock bottom. There was a loud “bang” as her body fell to the ground, blood


    streaming down her forehead.


    Anothermotion quickly erupted in the hallway as medical staff pushed a stretcher carrying the


    unconscious Kinsley towards the


    emergency room.

    Ashton gritted his teeth and spoke with an angry tone, “Deborah, I told you to shut up.”


    Deborah wasughing so hard that she was gasping for breath. “Aren’t you tired, Ashton? You act like


    an executioner and then try to


    y the good guy. Why can’t you just send me to jail, considering I almost killed Helen?”


    Ashton grabbed Deborah’s arm and shook with anger.


    “Jail is too easy for you, Deborah. I want you to spend the rest of your life making it up to Helen every


    day!”


    The sound of Helen’s painful and helpless crying could be clearly heard from the hospital room.


    Deborah continued tough maniacally and said, “Listen, you made Helen cry so much that she


    jumped off the roof, but you imed she did it on her own.”


    Ashton dragged Deborah as they walked towards Joseph.


    To get to th .rgency room, they had to pass by Joseph’s side and then go to the other side of the


    hallway.


    Joseph only saw Deborah’s face clearly at this point, with her intense and recklessughter


    Joseph was stunned for a moment, thinking he must have been mistaken

    something against him,


    The second time they met, he found her on a snowy, rainy street and took her back to his vi, where


    they spent another night together.


    Both times he saw her, she was crying, helpless and desperate.


    But now she wasughing, and he had never seen herugh before. She wasughing so joyfully that


    it seemed like Alyssa wasn’t the


    one who had died, but rather it was Ashton and Helen.


    Joseph was captivated by the spectacle before him and found himself momentarily distracted when he


    nced at Deborah.

    together.


    Without thinking, he reached out and grabbed her arm in front of everyone in the corridor.


    Ashton was infuriated, thinking that Joseph was enjoying the drama, but he was taken aback when


    Joseph touched Deborah.


    His face turned ck with rage as he eximed, “Let go of her arm!” The Smell of Blood
