Invincible Heir novel Chapter 266

“I tried to persuade him to quit, but he wouldn’t listen!”

“He said he couldn’t live longer because he had cancer, and he would do anything to save Emma’s life, including murdering.”

“I am really sorry about the whole thing! But I just can’t afford your medical charges, all the five hundred thousand dollars I had given to the hospital to treat Emma.”

Fay wept so miserably. She reckoned Baron came to her for money.

Baron learned a lot from her words.

First of all, he knew that Emma had leukemia.

And second, Alan got cancer, and he was running out of time. He hit Terry for money to pay her daughter’s medical expenses.

It was a grievous story. Their family was very poor, and it could be told from the way they looked, the way they dressed, and how weak Emma was.

Baron felt pretty heavy as if there was a lead softball in his chest.

He was supposed to hate Alan, for he hit Terry and cause Terry to get in a coma.

However, after hearing the story, he felt it in a different way.

Alan, of course, did a bad wrong thing, but he was still a good father.

He did earn a good father title.

If he had a second choice, he would never hit Terry.

Baron had the same feeling of hopelessness. His mother was diagnosed with cancer and needed a big sum of money to get medical treatment, and he tried everything he could and asked everyone he knew, but he just couldn’t raise that amount of money.

“Madam, get up, I come for you, not for money.”

Baron leaned forward in a hurry, helping Fay up, and said in a promised tone, “I won’t sue you for the medical expense, instead, I will pay all medical expenses to cure your daughter!”

Now, a few hundred thousand dollars was like nothing to Baron.

There were many families like the one of Emma, but he wasn’t able to help all of them out, he just could help whoever he met.

Fay stopped sobbing immediately, looking very surprised. She questioned to confirmed, “Are you saying you are gonna help… Emma?”

“Yes, madam, you have my words. Get up, please. I have a few quick questions for you, meaning no harm,” said Baron at once.

Fay then confirmed that she didn’t misunderstand. She got up, tears floating from her eyes down to her cheeks, and made grateful bows to Baron.

After a few minutes, she turned peaceful.

“Mr. Owen, please go ahead, I will be frank and tell you everything I know!”

Fay said, staring into Baron’s eyes. She would do anything if it could save her daughter’s life.

“You were saying that someone gave your husband five hundred thousand dollars to hit my father-in-law, do you know who it was?” asked Baron.

Fay shook her head apologetically, “Mr. Owen, to be honest, all the whole thing, I didn’t involve in, it was all done by my husband.”

“When he came back home with the money, I was shocked, I thought he robbed a bank.”

“Later, I kept questioning him, and he told me he was hired to hit someone for five hundred thousand dollars.”

“I couldn’t stop him, and after that, I haven’t seen him again!”

Fay sobbed, with tears shedding, heartrending.

Baron felt a bit disappointed, for he was hoping to get some useful information from her, although he knew that Alan would not tell her anything to protect her and his daughter.

Alan thought he could cut off all the clues if he died in the car crash, he was wrong.

Fay was not clever, for she really told Baron what her husband had let her know. If Baron wanted to sue her, with what he said, he could get the five hundred thousand dollars back, the money for her daughter’s medical expense.

“Madam, try to think deeper, was there any stranger that your husband met before he died? Or some weird calls? Or messages?”

Baron wouldn’t quit.

If anyone had contact with Alan, then there would be no more than three ways – face to face, phone call, or message.

Fay shook her head again, “He works in a warehouse as a truck loader in the daytime, and drives an unlicensed taxi in the evening. When he gets home, he seldom talks to me. So really, I just don’t have any idea what he did and who he met when he was outside.”
