A Night's Mistake: The Besotted CEO's Obsession novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128 

Even though the phone wasn’t on speaker, the distance between them was so close that Liam could vaguely make out the content of the call. He pulled Cynthia’s trembling body into his embrace… 

Buried in his chest, Cynthia’s heart ached abruptly. 

She couldn’t spare a thought for herself; her mind was overwhelmed by the sound of the elderly woman’s heart–wrenching sobs on the phone. 

The prospect of a white–haired person sending off someone younger for the second time in life was unbearable to consider. How could the old woman handle all this pain? And the little girl fatherless at such a tender age, how would she cope in the days to come! 

Cynthia wasn’t usually moved by sentiment, but in this family, she saw a purity and goodness that softened her stance and stirred her willingness to treat them with kindness. 

Lost in shock and sorrow, Cynthia took a while to gather her thoughts. She refused to believe the man could die so suddenly. So she raised her head and said firmly, “I want to go to the hospital. 

Tll go with you. The man said in a low voice. 

“Okay” 

They quickly got ready and arrived at the hospital during the rush of visiting hours, heading straight for the inpatient department. Stepping out of the elevator, they were greeted by the sound of loud wailing, Cynthia’s instinct was to rush over, but after taking only a step, her hand was firmly clasped, and Liam’s figure blocked the light ahead. 

“Stay behind me.” said Liam, turning his head back with a serious tone 

The two of them came to the ward. 

Standing at the door, Gerald looked at the people inside helplessly. The patient had passed away long ago, but the family members inside didn’t. allow them to move the body away and insisted on seeking justice. The sination remained deadlocked. 

At that moment, Gerald noticed Cynthia and Liam. He quickly pulled them aside, his tone carrying a mixture of rebuke and concern. “Didn’t I tell you not to come! The family is agitated right now. What if they accidentally hurt you?” : 

“Mr. Zimmer, there’s something off about this. I checked him yesterday, he was recovering so well, and he couldn’t just die like that. Also, Iv 

I was with Liam the whole evening yesterday. I didn’t come to the hospital. Cynthia’s tone was as firm as her gaze. 

“I know,” Gerald said solemnly. “We reviewed the security footage before you arrived. Others may not recognize it, but I 

I’m certain that shadowy “figure wasn’t you. 

“But in their current state, the family won’t listen to reason. That younger woman is adamant she saw you adding something to the IV bag last night, yet our hospital records show no additional medication was administered to that patient“ 

st have something to 

From what Gerald said. Cynthia gleaned an approximation of the situation. She knew that the sudden death of the patient must do with the medicine, 

Although it was not the right time to reason with the family, it was the best time to find evidence. The longer it took, the more evidence would be easily eliminated. 

She looked at Gerald firmly and said. “Mr. Zimmer, I’m not afraid of the blame of the patient’s family. I saved that patient, and that old lady defended me several times. I want to find out the truth. 

Unable to dissuade Cynthia, Gerald looked at Liam and said. “You should take good care of your wife later” 

Liam nodded slightly 

When Cynthia arrived at the door of the ward, there was already a group of people surrounding it Cynthia squeezed into the crowd. What she saw was the mess on the ground and the several people sitting on the ground with mournful expressions. 

Tears welled up in Cynthia’s eyes. She came to the old lady and tried to help her up 

The old lady opened her tearful eyes and cried in disappointment, “Cynthia, I didn’t do anything wrong to you. Why did you do that? 

Cynthia sniffed and sobbed. ‘Grandma, get up first. I didn’t come to the hospital last night, the person your son’s wife saw was not me.” 

“Why not you? When I called you Dr. Larson, you nodded at me. You murderer, now you don’t admit it” the young woman said excitedly with tears in her eyes 

And with that, she flung the bowl filled with last night’s uneaten dinner, which she hadn’t gotten around to tossing out, straight at Cynthia. Cynthia‘ was so busy trying to support the elderly lady that the bowl was aimed directly at her head.

Everyone held their breath. The woman’s actions were too swift, giving Cynthia no time to react. At the crucial moment, Liam suddenly bent down and enveloped her in his arms. 

The next second, the bowl crashed onto his back, the soup inside splashing and staining his expensive suit a filthy shade. The smell of the leftover food began to spread throughout the room. 

Liam took off his eat in disgust after checking whether Cynthia was hurt or not. Then he turned to the stunned woman and said coldly. “Don’t you want to live?” 

The woman was frightened and stood stim 

Cynthia 

la quickly stood up and looked at Liam’s back. She didn’t feel relieved until she found that his bones were not hurt. 

Although she was dissatisfied with the woman’s behavior, she had to consider her feelings of losing her husband just now. She could only patiently explain. “The person last night wasn’t me. Think about it, your husband is the one I worked so hard to save. I might be the person who, apart from you all, hopes the most that he could survive. 

“What beneth will it do to me if i harm him now? Think about it carefully. Dirl you see my face last night?” 

san was shocked by Liam’s imposing manner. She was not as excited as before. She hesitated for a while and recalled what happened 

The young woman was last night.
