Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 111

"Evidence? You want evidence? We have it all on video. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in this hospital! She crept into my sister's room last night and took off her oxygen mask. She killed Ruth!"

Alan's tone was confident, and anger burned hell-hot in his gaze.

Anne tried anxiously to defend herself. She had no idea Ruth was in this hospital, and she hadn't left the ward all night. How could she kill her?

"It's gotta be a mistake. I didn't know your sister was even here. I don't even know the ward she's in. Check the footage again. It's not me."

"I can vouch for her. Anne was in the ward all night. I don't know who murdered your sister, but it wasn't her," Kevin said.

He stayed overnight in the hospital with Anne. She had been in her ward all the time. There was no way she could have killed Ruth.

"Mr. Kevin, what are you talking about? You're defending her? I'm not wasting any more time arguing about this. You'll know the truth after you watch the video!"

Alan was afraid of Kevin, and had every reason to be. He knew it wouldn't be easy to avenge his sister while Anne was under Kevin's protection. But he had to avenge his sister's death.

"Bring me the surveillance video!" Kevin let go of Alan's hand and waved at the two bodyguards at the door.

Alan calmed down, but there was murder in his eyes when he glared at Anne.

His eyes were terrible to behold, but even so, Anne still plucked up her courage to walk up to him. She looked him right in the eye.

"Mr. Alan, I know you think I'm the murderer, but I had nothing to do with your sister's death. I know you think I pushed her down the stairs, too. That wasn't me, either. I'm not a killer. You have to believe me."

She had defended herself against allegations that she pushed Ruth down the stairs more times than she could count. Although she knew that no one would believe her, she still tried to stick up for herself.

"Is that supposed to convince me? You did it. You'll pay with your life. I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do!"

Alan didn't listen to her explanation at all. He was full of hatred now. He just wanted to kill her. How could he be rational at a time like this?

Anne knew her explanation was useless, but she didn't hurt Ruth. Why did bad things always happen to her? It was so unfair!

Cherry noted Anne's pale face, and the corners of her mouth curled into a slight smile. She wondered if Kevin would like Anne so much once he saw the surveillance video.

The atmosphere in the hospital was extremely tense. The bodyguards who went to get the surveillance video came back. One carried a monitor, the other plugged his smartphone into it. The administrators had given Kevin temporary access to the video footage stored on their hard drive.

According to the surveillance video, it was 11:35 pm. It was eerily silent, no sound needed. After a while, a woman in a hospital gown entered Ruth's ward. Ten minutes later, the woman walked out again.

The woman turned to face the camera. It was Anne! But how? She looked a little flustered and her pace was quicker than normal.

Looking at herself in the video, Anne was shocked. How could she be there? She had never been to any ward other than the one she spent the night in. What was going on? How could this be?

Kevin stroked his chin while he pondered what he'd just seen. Judging from the timestamp on the video, he had just gone to the office to ask the doctor about her condition. Did she really kill Ruth after he left?

"This clearly shows you were in the ward at the time of her death. Can you explain that?" Alan gave Anne a burning glare.

"No, that's not me. I have never been to that ward. I didn't kill her."

Anne didn't know what was going on with the video and why a woman who looked exactly like her appeared on the screen. But she was sure that the woman in the video was not her, absolutely not her.

"I didn't know you had it in you, Anne. How could you kill someone? Don't you know it's illegal?"

Cherry deliberately said this around Kevin, to make him believe that Anne had really killed someone.

"No, I really didn't. The woman in the video is not me. I didn't kill Ruth!" Anne tried to stick up one last time for herself, and then she fell into chaos.

"Why did you kill Ruth? What good would it do you?" Kevin turned and looked at her coldly, a strange light buried in his deep eyes.

"No, I didn't kill him. Kevin, please believe me. I really didn't kill her. You stayed with me last night, didn't you? You should know that I didn't leave the ward, so it's impossible for me to have killed anyone!"

She thought Kevin might be her last hope. He had been with her last night, and he should be able to defend her.

"I wasn't in the ward when this happened. Why did Ruth die when I wasn't there? Explain that."

He stared at Anne coldly. Kevin didn't want to believe that she killed Ruth, but now all the evidence pointed to her, so he had to believe it.
