Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 312

'Why my mother died?'

As soon as Jean had said that, the two men present there in the ward were shocked and their facial expressions instantaneously changed, with their eyes and mouths slightly wide open.

Moore looked at Jean with a perplexed expression in order to understand what Jean had in her mind. But Jean was expressionless. She asked such a serious question without even hesitating for a minute. Only then did Moore understood earlier, why Jean annoyed Joy and Shirley. She wanted to make them leave the ward as soon as she entered it.

Jean's ultimate purpose was to ask her father about the real reason of her mother's death.

'But Jean's father is really weird!

Since he has woken up, why does he still pretend to be in coma?'

With a bit of amazement in his heart, Moore wondered while looking at Jean and Henry silently. He was dazed on this father-daughter combo as both them were acting so peculiarly, one more than the other.

On hearing Jean's question, Henry seemed to be in much more shock than Moore as his face was contorted in annoyance. He became angry, glared at Jean and said,"What do you mean? Your mother has been dead for so many years. Why are you still asking me about it? I have told you before. And I am going to say it again one last time. Your mother died of an illness."

"Did my mother really die because of an illness? What kind of illness she was suffering from? Tell me." Hearing Henry's reply, Jean immediately sneered, looked at Henry sarcastically and asked him coldly. She knew Henry was not telling her all the things and there was something wrong with what had happened to her mother.

"What kind of illness she was suffering from? I'm not a doctor. I don't know about that." At that moment, Henry looked even more angrier. "Anyway, she suffered an acute disease. After being infected for just a short period of time, she died. There was nothing we could do to save her. What do you mean by asking me about that after such a long time? Do you have doubts that I have been lying to you?"

After saying that, Henry glared at Jean in disdain. And it was clearly visible that he no longer wanted to continue the conversation on this topic.

His facial expression showed that he was not lying to Jean in this matter, and there was no need for him to lie to her since he didn't consider Jean as his daughter.

Jean stared at Henry. Noticing the impatience and disgust in Henry's face, Jean couldn't help sighing in her heart. But she was quite perplexed on listening to Henry.

Earlier, when she was about to lose her consciousness, by chance Jean heard Joy saying these words,"If I had known you were such a bitch, I would have killed you too..." Since then, Jean had a doubt in her heart. She wanted to clear out what Joy meant by saying that. She felt restless since then.

Was it the truth that her mother didn't die of some illness, but was murdered by someone? This question was poking in her mind continuously.

With this doubt in her heart, Jean rushed here with the hope to know more about her mother's death from Henry. She was sure that Henry would know about it all.

However, from Henry's attitude, it seemed that he himself didn't knew about that. He showed such indignation towards Jean even at such a serious matter.

'Is it because I am being too suspicious? Maybe what he said is the real truth?

No!'

Jean quickly rejected her thought. Maybe Henry was not at all aware of the plan played by Joy. It could be possible Joy did it all by herself and she fooled Henry in believing that Jean's mother died because of some illness. That could be the reason Henry behaved that way.

When Joy uttered those words, in that circumstance, Joy was angry and irrational. Normally, truth which was hidden in a person's heart for many years could be exposed when the brain of that person gets out of control. So did Joy's at that moment.
