Lilian stood frozen, her gaze locked on Harry’s lifeless body, surrounded by blood. Her hands trembled uncontrollably, and tears began to spill down her face.
“Harry! Why did you take that knife for Wendy? I didn’t want you dead! I’ve given you my youth, my entire life, and yet you betrayed me! Please, don’t blame me. Don’t hate me for this…”
Jessica panicked. “Pull yourself together! Wendy’s still alive! Our plan failed.”
Lilian turned to her daughter, her voice shaky. “Harry was your father, too. He raised you all these years, treating you like royalty. Don’t you feel any sadness? Any grief?”
Jessica glanced at Harry’s body on the floor, her face cold and filled with bitterness. “Why should I be upset? If he hadn’t stepped in, Wendy would’ve been dead. He ruined everything for me! He didn’t love me enough!”
Lilian’s face tightened. “How-”
Before Lilian could say more, the door to the hospital room slammed open, and Edith rushed in with several people behind her. When she saw Harry lying in a pool of blood, she screamed.
“Harry! What happened? Wake up, please! You’re scaring me!” Edith shook Harry violently, but there was no response. His body had already lost all signs of life.
She looked up, fury burning in her eyes as she glared at Lilian. “What happened? Did you…kill my son?”
Lilian stepped back, trying to deny everything. “I–I didn’t…”
At that moment, Horace entered with a group of people, his expression dark. “What’s going on here?”
Jessica immediately rushed to his side. “Dad, I’m so scared!”
Horace turned his sharp gaze to Jessica. “Who killed him? You were here. What did you see?”
Edith turned to Jessica as well. “Yes, you need to tell us what happened! My son, my dear Harry… He was getting better! I thought he would make it, but now…he’s gone. Who killed him?”
Jessica’s eyes turned to Lilian, and she pointed directly at the latter “It’s her! She’s the killer!”
Lilian froze, her face going pale as disbelief overtook her. “What…
Her own daughter was accusing her of murder. Jessica, her own flesh and blood, had just pointed the finger at her,
Jessica took a step back, now hiding behind Horace, her voice shaking with fear. “Dad, I’m scared! I saw it with my own eyes. It was Lilian–she killed him with the knife!”
Edith lunged forward, grabbing Lilian by the hair. “You! You killed my son! I’ll make you pay for this!”
Slap!
Edith’s hand struck Lilian’s face with a loud crack, followed by another slap.
Lilian felt the sting of the blows, her face burning with pain. Edith’s nails had left deep scratches across her skin. She looked at Jessica, her voice desperate. “I’m your mother! I-”
But Jessica was done. Now, she saw Lilian as nothing more than a discarded pawn.
Fearing what Lilian might say, Jessica immediately cut her off. “You may have raised me, but you’re a murderer. I can’t stand by you anymore! Wendy and I saw you come at him with the knife, and it has your fingerprints on it. We have the weapon and

witnesses. You can’t deny it!”
Jessica’s words were a cold reminder that there was no escape for lian now. All the evidence pointed directly to her.
Edith, consumed by hatred, grabbed a fistful of Lilian’s hair and yanked her head back.
“You witch! You took my son’s life! I should never have allowed you to marry him. I’m going to make you pay for this. I’ll kill you myself if I have to!”
