Drowning Him In Regret novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81 Something’s Fishy

As I slowly regained consciousness, I didn’t even need to open my eyes to know that I was back in the hospital.

But this time, there were no familiar faces by my side, only the police.

The doctor examined me with a much more serious expression.

The doctor said, “Mrs. Carson, I’ve told you before. This is your second relapse. You need to take care of your body, or else… If it happens again, there might be no saving me. I know.”

I looked at the doctor calmly. “Sorry to trouble you again.”

He wanted to speak more, then glanced at the police out of the corner of his eye and decided to say no more.

In the end, he just said that my condition was bad, and the cancer cells could spread at any time. To be honest, I was already a dying person months ago. Perhaps many things I was doing now weren’t even necessary.

I understood that he was trying to speak on my behalf. I nodded at him gratefully.

Given my current condition, it wouldn’t be hard to investigate. The police probably already know that I have no reason to kill Bethany.

I’d been planning to divorce Jude for a long time, and over the years, he’s had countless women around him. If I cared about reputation, I would’ve left a long time ago.

The female officer’s attitude softened significantly, and she assured me they would uncover the truth.

I requested a new lawyer and asked to see Casey. I wanted to authorize her to act on my behalf.

When she saw me in the hospital room, bald from treatment, she was already sobbing uncontrollably.

The doctor was right. My condition really was bad. I could faint at any moment.

The new lawyer was one of Dorian’s trusted people, the same one who brought a lawyer to the police station the day I was arrested.

Many matters at the Carson Group were being handled by Leonard, but his team wasn’t skilled in criminal cases. So changing lawyers made sense.

Lalso asked the lawyer to help me legally authorize Casey to handle everything for me while I was unable to go out.

The lawyer asked, “Mrs. Carson, how long will the authorization be valid?”

I replied, “There’s no time limit. I trust her.”

I didn’t know how much longer I could hold on in this condition. So I might as well let Casey take care of everything.

After the lawyer left, Ewan came to see me.

Even though I hadn’t been cleared of the murder suspicion yet, the news was already all over the internet.

I had become a villain in the public’s eyes, a ruthless woman who would stop at nothing to take control of the Carson Group. Their stock had plummeted, and it was starting to affect the entire company.

It was true. If Jude never woke up, the Carson Group would fall into my hands.

But what they didn’t know was, for someone like me, even having all the money in the world wouldn’t matter.

“Jude said you have low blood sugar. Is it really this serious?” Ewan looked at me inquisitively. I didn’t know what methods he used to get in, but he was here alone.

I nodded and forced myself to stay alert. “There’s just been too much going on lately. I haven’t slept at all. It’s nervous exhaustion. I did it on purpose.”

He didn’t question me and even nodded approvingly. “A tactical retreat. Very good. Don’t worry. Veronica will talk to the doctors and make arrangements to keep you in the hospital as long as possible.”

As expected of Jude’s grandfather. He even spoke like him.

They all assumed I was faking it. I had no intention of explaining myself. But there was one thing I had to make him aware of.

I said, “Ewan, Casey has the password to my safe. She also has surveillance footage. Vivian definitely has issues.”

Ewan asked, “You mean she poisoned Jude? Or that she kidnapped Bethany?”

Ewan had already thought of many possibilities. But I still shook my head. “It’s not just those things. Her very presence around Jude is suspicious.”

I continued, “Her clothing and style resemble mine from my university days, maybe 60 or 70 percent similar. Her face too. Her major has nothing to do with the position, and based on her resume, she should’ve been eliminated in the first round. She shouldn’t have even gotten an interview.”

I added, “And she seems overly involved in the design department. I think something’s wrong.”

Even while I was unconscious, my mind had been spinning nonstop.

Once I woke up, everything started to piece itself together. And at the center of it all was Vivian.

When Casey came to visit, she told me Vivian hadn’t shown up at all since the incident. But with everyone in chaos, no one noticed where she went.

Even though Jude was in a coma, she still didn’t show up. It didn’t make sense.
