Crossroads Confessions by Deirdre Augus novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 

“What’s up?” Dominick asked coldly. His face was stern, leaving no one daring to approach him. 

Sandra immediately lowered her head, not daring to look him in the face. Then she explained in a panic, “Mr. Wellington, you haven’t eaten anything today. I asked someone to prepare some food for you. Have some” 

As she said this, she quickly placed the food on the table beside him. 

Servants did not dare to ask about Dominick’s affairs. Sandra should turn around and leave immediately. However, she had a conflicted expression She knew that Stephanie had been away for two days. It was only two days, but it felt like a long time. 

If Stephanie was at home, Dominick would eat more. It was not known whether she needed his company or if he needed her company. 

“Mr. Wellington… 

Sandra put away the empty tray and said nervously, “Mr. Wellington, if you have something on your mind, you should speak up. Just tell Mrs. Wellington directly. She won’t know unless you tell her. 

If Dominick hadn’t told Stephanie he had missed her, she would not have been aware of it 

Dominick’s face froze. His eyes narrowed slightly and fell on Sandra. Sandra had to shut up, daring not to say anything more. 

It was said that Dominick was so distinguished. In fact, only the Wellington family knew that the only heir of the Wellington family was very lonely. His father was sick and seldom communicated with him. Also, Dominick was not close to Mary. His grandfather, George, had a weird temper and it was impossible for him to teach Dominick gently. So, Dominick had been cold since childhood, and it was even worse when he grew up. 

They all knew that Dominick was not talkative, and his eyes were enough to make one afraid of him, let alone ask him to coax women. But in the past two days, they often found him looking into the distance motionlessly. What was he thinking about? Naturally, it was related to Stephanie 

Dominick did not make things difficult for Sandra, nor did he immediately drive her out. Instead, he thought in silence for a while and opened his lips as if he wanted to ask Sandra something. 

However, at that moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the corridor. 

A tall bodyguard in formal antire stood at the door. “Mr. Wellington, there is new news about the hospital incident” 

Dominick’s face changed instantly and lowered his voice. “Go to the study” 

Seeing that they were in a hurry, Sandra stepped aside to make way for them. Dominick and the bodyguard went to the study next door. She glanced at the abandoned food in the bedroom and sighed. 

“Mrs. Wellington did not lie. In the afternoon she was in the hospital, a woman did sneak into her ward and tried to suffocate her to death by covering her mouth and nose with a hospital pillow.” 

Someone tried to kill Stephanie 

The lights in the study were turned on. The bright light shone on Dominick’s face in front of the desk, making him feel a little chilly. 

It had been a month, Dominick didn’t mention it, but it didn’t mean he would let it go. 

Compared to Diana taking Stephanie away, Dominick was more annoyed by this series of conspiracies. Who had the guts to kill Stephanie? 

The bodyguard didn’t dare to look at Dominick’s gloomy expression. Turning his head slightly, he continued to report respectfully, “The woman who sneaked into Mrs. Wellington’s ward used the hospital’s regular nurse pass. According to the entry and exit records, she went to the Infectious Disease Apartment the day before Mrs Wellington’s accident. So, she was highly suspected of delivering food that morning and causing Mrs. Wellington to contract enteritis. She designed to stagger the shift of the niedical staff and waited for an opportunity to take action” 

Dominick, who had remained silent the whole time, granted his teeth and murmured, “A nurse?” 

No. The bodyguard raised his head, and his voice became more serious. A fake nurse.” 

It was as if Dominick was about to explode in anger. “Very good.” he drawled, not bothering to conceal his murderous intent. 

The fake nurse was indeed not an ordinary person. 

“She stole a nurse’s pass, so she could come to the ward and go freely. There were many doctors and patients every day. She wore a mask, and her figure was similar to those nurses, so no one realized she was a fake until today Frostvale police found a female body in an old apartment. She died nearly a month ago 

The lemnity of the dead has been confirmed. She was the nurse whom we suspected to be missing before. However, the forensic doctor determined that she could not do anything bad to Mrs. Wellington, for she was killed three days before Mrs. Wellington’s accident. Her body was violently twisted and stuffed into a refrigerator” 

12:26 PM d 

Chapter 222 

The bodyguard handed over a sealed brown document bag in his hand. “These are the photos taken at the crime scene by forensic doctors” 

Dominick took it expressionlessly and quickly opened the document bag. He had seen all kinds of violent scenes, but when these photos came into his eyes, he couldn’t help but frown. 

“The deceased had multiple fractures on her body because she was forced into a refrigerator that was half her size. However, apart from her eyes wide open in fear before she died, there were no bleeding marks on her body. When she was killed, the murderer broke the vertebrae in her neck in an instant with incredible force.” 

Stephanie was facing such a cruel and violent person in the ward that day, 

Dominick looked even uglier, and he slapped the photo in his hand onto the table. The bodyguard was shocked that a woman could have such great strength to kill someone with her bare hands. 

Frostvale police officers immediately determined that it was a male murderer, but Dominick’s people kept investigating and were very sure that it 

was a woman.
