Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Uncle Wallace collapsed to the ground as his head bled profusely.

However, Dorothy did not want him dead just yet. After all, if he died here, she would surely be investigated.

She thought for a while, then an idea came to her head.

She might as well wait for Olivia to come back and then put the blame on her.

Dorothy was not sure what else this old geezer knew.

That was what worried her the most. That was why she had to get to the bottom of it.

She found a rope on the side of the room and then quickly tied Uncle Wallace up with it. After that, she grabbed a towel and stuffed it in his mouth.

Immediately after she did that, Dorothy heard the sound of the doorbell coming from downstairs. Wes was home.

She quickly closed the door and walked downstairs.

Halfway down the stairs, she realized that she moved too hard just now, and that caused her wound to stain her shirt red.

Dorothy had no choice but to run to the other room and get a change of clothes.

However, her bandages were stained with blood. How was she going to explain it to her doctor later on?

Before she could think of anything else, Wes was already walking up the stairs with the meatballs.

“Ms. Ellis, I have your dumplings with me.”

Dorothy frowned, changed her shirt, and tidied her hair. She then opened the door and took the meatballs, slamming the door on Wes.

After that, she quickly sent a text message.

“Please help me delete the video camera footage on the premises, thanks.”

In the hospital.

It was five in the afternoon, but Olivia was still unconscious. John did not leave her side either.

Zac again entered the ward and said, “You should go home and rest. I can take care of her.”

John shook his head as he gripped Olivia’s hand while clenching the side of the bed. He clenched so hard his veins showed and his fingers went pale.

“I’m waiting here until she wakes up.”

Zac could not bear to see John like this. He frowned and said to him, “It’s too late to regret now. Since you’re

regretting it now, why did you do that back then?”

John smiled coldly.

Why did he even do that in the first place?
