He Gave Me Hearing, Then Taught Me What Silence Really Means novel Chapter 416

The doctors said she had one foot in the grave. If the paramedics had been even a minute slower, she would have bled to death.

Lulu was trembling with cold terror. The moment Mrs. Lawrence rushed into the hospital room, Lulu burst into theatrical, heartbroken sobs.

Mrs. Lawrence only knew Lulu had been hurt; she had no idea what had actually happened. When the doctor mentioned a stab wound, she was horrified and immediately pulled Lulu into a tight embrace. "Did they catch the bastard who did this? Was it a mugging?"

Lulu buried her face in Mrs. Lawrence's chest, her hatred for Jasmine boiling over. "It was Jasmine! She orchestrated that attack on campus today—she told everyone I was a homewrecker! Then she broke into my house with a hunting knife! I almost died..."

Mrs. Lawrence thought she had misheard. Her eyes widened in absolute shock. Once the reality set in, she whipped her head toward Finn, who was standing quietly nearby. "Are you telling me Jasmine did this?"

Finn had no intention of covering for Jasmine. There were dozens of cameras around Lulu's villa; a five-minute investigation would prove it anyway.

"Yes."

Mrs. Lawrence shot to her feet. If Jasmine had been in the room, she would have slapped her across the face repeatedly.

"She stabbed Lulu! I'm going to make sure she rots in a cell for the rest of her life! Where are my guards?! Have someone arrest that psycho immediately!"

Finn remained seated, his tone grave. "She is a psycho. She's clinically diagnosed. Even if you press charges, the law won't touch her. They'll just mandate that her guardian—me—keeps a closer eye on her. Didn't I already exile her to the suburbs? If Lulu hadn't called her to brag and provoke her, do you really think Jasmine would have shown up at her door with a knife? Haven't I told you both a thousand times not to provoke her?"

He had told them. He had told them countless times. But he had never mentioned that Jasmine was clinically diagnosed as a psychopath.
