“If Zoey had been in the country back then, Nella might not have gotten the chance to become Mrs. Keywood at all.
“Now, after Alfred divorces Nella, he’ll be a divorcee. Zoey has never been married. Is she really not good enough for him? The Keywoods would be thrilled to have her. Why would they ever look down on her?”
Even though Eileen spoke with absolute confidence, Norris still felt uneasy inside.
But seeing how eager his wife and daughter looked, he ultimately didn’t voice his doubts.
After all, if things really turned out the way they said, and he became Alfred’s father-in-law, that would be a tremendous benefit.
The Macks would rise to an even higher level.
Just as the family of three was plotting their next steps, they received a call from Apex Medical the very next day.
They said they had already identified the cause of Patrick’s cardiac blood clot and wanted them to come to the hospital to discuss follow-up arrangements.
After hanging up, Norris spoke, suspicion written all over his face.
“They figured it out that fast? Didn’t they say they’d give us an answer in three days?”
Hearing this, Zoey let out a cold laugh.
“How could they possibly find out? They’re probably just making up a reason to brush us off.
“Professor Fred is Nella’s mentor. He’ll definitely try to protect her. Anyway, Dad, you absolutely can’t back down this time. They have to give us an answer that satisfies us.”
Seeing how confident his daughter looked, Norris still hesitated.
“Zoey, how can you be so sure they won’t find out?”
“That’s because…”
Realizing she almost let it slip, Zoey quickly stopped herself and said, “Isn’t it obvious? Those medical experts already said it was due to insufficient medication dosage. That means it’s the hospital’s issue. Nella was Patrick’s doctor. She treated him. She prescribed the meds. No matter what, she can’t escape responsibility.”
Besides, she had done that thing so discreetly. No matter how the hospital investigated, they’d never find the
real cause.
Hearing his daughter say this, Norris felt it made sense.
“Alright. We’ll listen to you. We’ll go to the hospital now. Even if Professor Fred pressures us with the Freds,
we won’t back down.”

“Don’t worry, Dad. I’m fully prepared.”
Zoey pointed to a diamond-studded brooch on her outfit.

“I had this custom-made. It’s a hidden recording device. If Professor Fred dares to openly shield Nella, I’ll make sure he goes down in disgrace too.”
When Nella learned from Caleb that the investigation results had come out so quickly, she was also surprised.
She looked at the report Caleb handed her and wasn’t shocked at all.
“So it really was her.”
Zoey has zero conscience. To go after me, she’s even willing to gamble with Patrick’s life.
Meanwhile, Caleb looked conflicted, hesitating as if he had something more to say.
Nella noticed.
“Professor, do you still have something to say?”
“Sigh.”
Caleb let out a long sigh. “I don’t know whether I should tell you this, but the reason this investigation was completed so quickly is largely thanks to that clueless husband of yours,”
“Alfred?”
Nella froze and subconsciously looked down at the report in her hands.
Alfred was the one who dug it up?
