Danis looked at Jessica who was on the hospital bed with a terrible expression and her eyes were closed, and he strode out of the ward.
Adeline followed him, whispering, "Why are you going crazy today? You have such a bad temper. I said the murderer offended your sister. Am I wrong?"
"Jessica's legs are almost healed now. If Angela hadn't done anything guilty, how could she faint for no reason?"
Danis clenched his fist, panting like a cow, and his whole body was like a string that was so tight that it would break under pressure at any time.
Adeline was still complaining, "Why did I hear that the court sentenced your sister to pay two million dollars mental damages to Angela and a detention for 15 days? Are those people crazy? It’s the murderer who should be arrested. Did the court make a mistake?"
"Murderer, murderer, murderer. Can you stop calling her the murderer and bitch?" Danis gritted his teeth and interrupted her, with blue veins standing out on his forehead.
Adeline was dumbfounded by his roar.
Edward frowned, as if he had expected it a long time ago.
"It's not true that Angela wanted to hit Jessica, and she didn't want to kill Jessica. Jessica wronged Angela." Danis snarled in a low voice, the anger of being deceived and his guilt to Angela intertwined. His body was about to be torn apart by this mixed feeling.
He trembled in pain and took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice, "Jessica has lied to me. These are plotted by her. She planned for three years, just to frame Angela."
His sister, whom he treasured the most turned out to be the heartless and cruel one.
Jessica lied to him, and used his guilt to hurt Angela unscrupulously.
Adeline was taken aback first, followed by unabashed anger and disgust, "How can you believe what the murderer said? Jessica should prosecute that murderer Angela two years ago. There was no prosecution at that time, and now she makes unfounded countercharges."
"There is evidence in the court, and it's clear as day." Danis’s knuckles were creaking, "It was Jessica who carefully planned the car accident. She risked her life to frame Angela."
He swallowed hard, "If the evidence is false, why didn’t Jessica deny it? Besides, the evidence has been compared and checked on the spot, and it is absolutely true."
"That murderer is now with James, and she must have bribed the judge." Adeline said angrily and solemnly, "Your sister is stupid and always bullied by Angela, how can she frame Angela? How can you say that about your sister?"
"Besides, what is your sister's grudge against Angela to risk her life to frame her? You are insane, and you believe in Angela's nonsense."
She watched Jessica growing up, and she knew exactly what she was thinking about. Her daughter was so well-behaved and kind, how could she risk her life to frame others?
This was absolutely impossible.
Danis's face flushed, and then turned ghastly pale. He looked at Edward. "What about Dad? Do you think Angela bribe the judge and made false testimony?"
Edward avoided this question and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think too much."
"I'm asking about your attitude." Danis emphasized again.
Adeline was angry, "Are you insane? How can you speak for Angela? Do you still have feelings for that murderer? Don't forget she almost killed your sister."
"Danis, no matter what Jessica did, she is still your sister." Edward said with indication.
