Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey novel Chapter 110

"She seemed to think James liked me, and tried to run me over. I've always considered her a good friend and don't know why she did it."

Jessica was in a flood of tears, causing others to pity her.

James sat on a chair with his hands resting on his knees. He looked up at Jessica, and quickly lowered his head again, his eyes blurred.

Adeline almost died of anger, "An... Angela. I treated her just like my daughter. How could she do such a frantic thing?

I'll sue her and send her to jail!"

"Mom--"

Jessica cried and tugged at her arm, shaking her head repeatedly, "No, she is my good friend. I..."

Edward stood by, looking at his daughter and thinking.

Adeline was exasperated at Jessica's kindness for Angela, and interrupted her with heartache and anger, "Do you know you almost died in the accident?

Do you know your legs were broken and you'll never be able to dance again?! You're still speaking up for that murderer!"

Hearing this, Jessica was stunned.

She looked at her right leg and tried to move it. When she realized that she couldn't move it at all, she opened her mouth slightly and tears fell down her face.

Danis's eyes were filled with hesitation and pain as he frowned and said,

"Is there any misunderstanding between them?

Angela's usually a bit of tomfoolery, but..."

Slap!

Adeline slapped him hard across the face, pointing a trembling finger at him, "It’s fine you don’t feel ashamed to chase after that murderer and make it public. Now she's trying to run over your sister. How could you still speak up for her?!"

She breathed heavily, her voice a little shrill, "Would your sister use her own life to wrong the murderer?"

Jessica didn't accuse him, but just lay on the bed, looking at him with tears and sadness in her eyes.

Danis was filled with guilt by her look, and covered the side of his face that was hit. He felt a great deal of heartache, "Jessica, I'm sorry. If I hadn't let you be friends with her in the first place, you wouldn't... be like this now."

"Brother, don't beat yourself up so much. Although I've lost my leg, I'm still alive.

It's better than anything to be alive!"

Jessica forced a smile, but tears still kept flowing down her cheeks.

If she blamed and beat him, Danis would feel better.

Now she, a dancer, couldn't dance again, but still comforted him, which made him feel awaful.

He clenched his fist, his eyes full of struggle and resentment, looked at his sister in the hospital bed and solemnly said,

"Jessica, I will get you justice!"

"That's what a brother should do. Come with me to the Chante family to find that murderer!"

Adeline tugged Danis outside and looked back at Edward, "You follow us too!"

Edward responded and said to James, who had been sitting silently at the side.

"James, Jessica will be in your care. After all, she was injured because of you."

He patted James's shoulder and gave Jessica a meaningful glance before exiting the ward amid Adeline's constant urging.

The moment the door closed, only James and Jessica were left in the ward.

Jessica wiped the tears from her face, tried to smile and said,
