Chapter 134 Seeking Help
As soon as Isabella finished speaking, the police officers and nurses looked at the person on the bed in
surprise.
However, Samantha’s eyes were still shut. She had no intention of waking up.
Isabella chuckled. “Samantha, I’m a doctor. If you don’t wake up now, I’ll give you something to help you
wake up.”
As Isabella spoke, she opened her bag and retrieved a pack of needles.
When the two nurses saw this, their expressions changed, and they wanted to stop her. They could not
let Isabella touch their patients. If anything happened, their hospital could not possibly answer for it.
However, to their surprise, Samantha suddenly opened her eyes.
The nurses and police officers looked at Isabella in surprise.
Isabella put away the needles and smiled. “Isn’t it a good thing that you’re awake? Why do you have to
pretend to be asleep?”
The two nurses looked at each other. The two police officers also looked at each other, and their
expressions changed. They stepped forward and asked, “Miss Lang, why are you pretending to be
asleep?”
Samantha frowned and ignored the two police officers. Instead, she said to the nurse, “I’m feeling unwell.
Can I call the doctor?”
“I’m a doctor. If you’re feeling unwell, I can help you take a look.”
Isabella said.
Samantha looked glumly at Isabella and Draxton, who stood beside Isabella.
She looked pitiful, like a blade of grass that could not withstand the rain.
Draxton stared straight at her. He said, “You’re clenching your teeth. Your knuckles are white, and your
eyebrows are pressed together. You must be restraining your emotions. What emotions are you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrestraining? Nervousness, resentment, or regret?”
Samantha almost lost her composure. She thought this man was staring at her because he felt sympathy
for her. She wanted to take the opportunity to act pitiful again, but she did not expect that the moment he
opened his mouth, he would say such heart-rending words.
Without thinking, she retorted, “Mr. Lockwood, I know you’re on Isabella’s side, but you can’t slander me
that way. I’m restraining my emotions, but I’m restraining my fear. I’m the victim here.”
Draxton narrowed his eyes slightly. This subconscious act of defending oneself was the most direct
manifestation of guilt.
The two police officers understood Samantha’s psychological reaction. They went forward and asked,
“Since you’re afraid, the first thing you should do when you wake up is to call the police for help, not
pretend to be asleep or anything else.
“From the moment you opened your eyes, you’ve been subconsciously avoiding us. This is not the
reaction of a normal victim.”
Samantha’s pupils constricted, and she lowered her eyes. Tears slowly flowed down. “I’m just sad.”

Her expression was sorrowful.
Isabella narrowed her eyes at Samantha. She had to admit that Samantha had some acting skills.
“I heard that Mrs. Lang was stabbed four times. Although Mr. Lang was not stabbed, he also suffered
bruises and kicks. Also, Mr. and Mrs. Lang drank tea laced with poison before the accident. However,
there was no poison in your body.
“At that time, only you and the two of them were in the Lang family’s house. They were drugged, but you
weren’t. In addition, Jason had also been in a car accident. These coincidences seem a little strange.”
“I’m also injured!” Samantha subconsciously retorted.
Isabella said calmly, “I didn’t say you weren’t injured.”
However, Samantha shook her head as she cried. “Daddy didn’t do it on purpose. Daddy didn’t do it on
purpose. Don’t blame him…”
Isabella was speechless.
She’d give Samantha some credit for that.
Isabella looked away speechlessly and said to the two police officers, “Samantha’s injury should be
superficial. Moreover, I believe that the forensic doctor can tell from the shape of her wound whether it
was done by someone else or by herself. Miss Samantha was once an actress. I believe in her acting
skills, but I don’t believe a word she said.”
The two policemen nodded and said, “Please rest assured.”
Isabella nodded and left the ward with Draxton.
The police officer stepped forward and said to Samantha, “Miss Lang, please tell us everything that
happened. Mr. Lang has woken up. He told us that you are the murderer…”
Isabella was a little bored. She was also somewhat amazed and found it ironic. The Lang family loved
Samantha so much. Although she believed that Samantha was plotting against the Lang family, she did
not expect her to be so ruthless.
Draxton said, “Although the Lang family brought this upon themselves, this matter is also related to some
of their recent actions.
“As far as I know, the Lang family was planning to disown Samantha and take you in. Although all this
means nothing to you, it became the last straw that drove Samantha to madness.”
Isabella was stunned when she heard him. She looked at Draxton and asked, “Did you investigate the
Lang family?”
Even she did not know about these things.
Draxton said, “After all, they are related to you. I wanted to pay more attention to them.”
Isabella’s heart warmed. She knew why he did that. He cared about everything that had to do with her,
even when she did not realize it.
Isabella smiled faintly and said, “The Lang family did not need to do that. Some people and some things
were not meant to be. It’s the same with family ties.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDraxton nodded. “But now that something like this has happened, we still have to handle it. Since Ethan
is not gravely injured, he can still pull the Lang family back up.”
Isabella nodded.
As the two of them were talking, a nurse chased after them and said, “Miss Thompson, Mr. Lang wants
to see you. He has something to tell you.”
Isabella and Draxton looked at each other and followed the nurse into the ward.
After entering, they saw that Ethan had already sat up with the nurse’s help. On the adjacent bed, Mrs.
Lang was already awake.
She was frail. She had an oxygen mask on, and her eyes opened with difficulty. When she saw them, her
eyes widened, and her chest heaved violently.
Isabella glanced at her once before looking away. She walked to Ethan’s bed and pulled a chair to sit
down.
“I heard from the nurse that you wanted to see me,” said Isabella.
Ethan looked at her with a complicated expression. He said, “Isabella, your mother and I had made a
mistake in the past. We were wrong. Can you forgive us?”
Isabella was silent for a moment before slowly saying, “It’s not about forgiveness. It’s just that I’m already
past the age where I need my parents to care for me.”
She said it tactfully, but Ethan understood what she meant. His eyes could not help but dim.
She did not need them. She did not care about her parents anymore.
Mrs. Lang, on the other hand, struggled in agitation. The nurse quickly went forward to calm her down.
She stared at Isabella with tears streaming down her face.
Ethan looked sad. “We’ve let you down. When you were born, we couldn’t protect you well and lost you.
After you grew up, we didn’t look after you well. We’ve hurt you so…”
Tears welled up in his eyes. “But, now that things have come to this, you’re the only one left in the Lang
family. We don’t know if your brother is dead or alive, and we haven’t found him yet. Your mother and I
are bedridden, too. The Lang Corporation can’t be left unattended. Can you hold down the fort for a
while…”
Isabella looked at him in surprise.
