Chapter 613
Joanna rambled on. Bruce didn’t react and just lay there lifelessly.
The recovery from the craniotomy was very slow. His head was now wrapped in thick straps and a fixer. It had been
seven days, but he was still not out of danger.
Local surgeons in Greyport, in conjunction with foreign medical experts, had discussed the latest treatment plan.
Joanna paused and sighed before continuing to say, “You know what? Liam and his wife came to the hospital today.
They also talked about fighting for custody of the children and taking over all your assets.
“With your bad temper, if you heard this, you would definitely be angry on the spot.
“I really hope you can wake up quickly and let your uncle give up that strange thought?”
Joanna held his hand and told him everything that had happened in the past few days. There was a saying in
medicine called neurostimulation therapy.
Whether it was useful or not, she had to persevere and try every day.
She hoped that he would suddenly wake up if she talked to him more.
On the other side and in the doctor’s office, Kensley had been engaging a patient meticulously when the nurse
suddenly knocked on the door and came in. “Doctor Leach, there’s someone here to see you”
Kensley did not even raise his head as he continued to prescribe the prescription. He casually asked, “Is it a
patient?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBefore he could finish his sentence, a tall and thin young man appeared at the door of the consultation room
There was a faint smile on the young man’s face as he said evilly, “Doctor Leach, long time no see!”
“You are…” Kensley subconsciously adjusted his glasses.
He had no impression of this patient.
“Well, you don’t know me, but I know you.”
“… Kensley’s scalp went numb, and a layer of cold sweat subconsciously appeared on his back.
Then, Kensley pretended to be calm and handed the prescription to the patient. “Well, you can go pay the fees with
this prescription!”
The patient took the medical list, thanked him again, and walked out.
After the patient left, the young man got even more unrestrained. “Doctor Leach, I heard you’ve made a fortune
recently and even bought a mansion in Greyport.”
When Kensley heard this, his eyes flickered. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“You sure? Do you want me to help you recall?” The young man stretched his neck and stared at Kensley.
Those who had done nothing wrong were not afraid of being accused.
But Kensley had done something wrong, so when he heard the young man’s words, his scalp exploded, and the
sweat on his forehead kept flowing.
The year before last, Margaret was critically ill.
During hospitalization, Roxanne removed Margaret’s respirators, resulting in Margaret’s death.
He happened to see this scene.
At that time, Roxanne knelt down and begged him to keep it a secret and also promised to give him a sum of
money as hush
money.
Seizing this opportunity to make a fortune, he planned to extort Roxanne’s 20 million dollars.
However, Roxanne did not have that much money at that time. She first transferred him one million dollars and
then another 2 million dollars.
Later, something happened to Roxanne and he was also involved in the murder.
Fortunately, in order to protect her daughter, Ingrid took all the blame. Roxanne was also sent to a mental hospital,
and he successfully got rid of suspicion.
In the past two years, he had been promoted to deputy head of the surgical department because of his good
performance.
He had almost forgotten about it too.
“Looks like you really forgot, Doctor Leach. Let me help you sort it out again!”
Kensley stuttered, “You, I… I don’t know what you mean?”
“Should I give you a heads-up?”
“Margaret’s death, well… The young man smiled evilly and looked straight at Kensley.
Kensley immediately collapsed on the chair. “You… Who the hell are you? What do you want?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe young man took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Kensley. “Well, it is not the right place to
talk. Here’s my business card. Let’s make an appointment this afternoon and talk about it.”
Kensley took a deep breath. “What exactly do you want to do?”
‘Don’t worry. There’s no need to be so nervous. It’s not a bad thing. Instead, it’ll benefit you!” The young man
smiled. mysteriously, put down the business card, and turned to leave the hospital.
After the young man left, Kensley was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. His heart was beating rapidly.
He blamed himself for being too greedy.
If he wasn’t so greedy, how would he cause such trouble now?
The year before last, Margaret suddenly passed away. Kensley demanded an exorbitant price, intending to extort
Roxanne 20 million dollars.
Roxanne came from a rich family, but she didn’t have much cash, so she only gave him 3 million dollars.
Originally, he should have quit while he was ahead after taking the money.
In particular, Roxanne was sent to a mental hospital after the incident. She had been in the mental hospital for
nearly a year. After Roxanne was released from the mental hospital, Kensley still wanted to continue extorting her.
Roxanne was forced into a corner and could only seek refuge with Marlowe, Bruce’s archenemy.
She borrowed 6 million dollars from him and gave Kensley.
Therefore, Marlowe knew the inside story.
The more Kensley thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He had thought that the matter was settled with
the death of Roxanne and that no one else would know.
However, he never expected that there would be someone who knew about this.
