"I don't believe that she didn't walk steadily. It's unreasonable for a young girl to walk unsteadily." Julie collapsed into her husband's arms and complained with tearful eyes, "I think she did it on purpose!"
Julie firmly believed that Nina did it on purpose, but she didn't know what to say when Howard asked her why Nina did that.
She could only cry and curse Nina.
Howard knew that Julie was upset, so he didn't stop her. He turned to his daughter and asked, "Vivi, tell me what happened? If what your mother said is true, I will seek justice for her in any case. Even if Nina is the princess of C Island, she can't be lawless."
"Dad, it's all my fault." Seeing the nurse bandaging her wound, Vivian's eyes became darker and darker. The corners of her mouth lifted up faintly, which was just blocked by her long hair.
"If I had protected mom well, my brother wouldn't have been in danger and ended up like this. After all, it's all my fault." Vivian blamed herself and sobbed.
She couldn't say that Nina did it on purpose, otherwise Howard would think that her wife and her daughter were lying.
"Dad, I didn't see it clearly at that time. I only saw that mom fell to the ground and that Nina almost fell. Nina steadied herself to avoid falling." Vivian explained for Nina, "She didn't mean to do that. After mom fell to the ground, Nina took mom to the doctor in person."
"Vivian!" Julie stamped her feet in anger. "Why do you explain for an outsider? Nina has stolen your man. And now she hurt your mother and brother, but you still explain for her."
"Mom, I..." Tears welled up in Vivian's eyes as she raised her head. Talking about John, she felt sad.
She was interrupted again.
"What!" Julie stared at her weakly. "You're just useless. Are we still afraid of their family?"
"Mom, it's not like that. I just..." Vivian shrank her arm and turned to the nurse. "Could you please be gentler? It hurts."
The nurse was confused. She didn't even touch Vivian just now.
Obviously, Vivian said that on purpose. Seeing this, Dr. Zhou knew what Vivian was thinking and immediately said to the nurse, "What's wrong with you? Go away."
The nurse pursed her lips and stood aside.
Dr. Zhou gave Vivian a flattering smile, hoping that she could save her life when she was in need. After all, it was John who was offended now.
"Thank you, Dr. Zhou. I'm fine. You can leave now." Vivian asked the doctor and nurse to leave. The doctor wanted to say something but hesitated.
After they left, Vivian lowered her eyes and said, "Dad, mom, I'm sorry."
Julie was too weak to talk.
Howard hinted Vivian to leave first, and then he helped his wife back to the bed.
Lying in the bed, Julie held her husband's hand tightly and said, "Whether Nina did it on purpose or not, our child is indeed dead. You must avenge our child's death."
Howard nodded, but Julie didn't see the firmness in his eyes.
"Howard! Our son is dead. He's the one who will inherit the family business in the future. Our son is dead and will never come back." Julie said sadly, "Noah doesn't want to run business. Vivi is a girl with insufficient ability. We have put all our hopes on this child, but now there is no hope.
Can you accept it? Can you just let it trouble your conscience?"
Howard thought for a while and said firmly, "I will let them pay the price."
"Really?" Julie's eyes lit up and looked at him excitedly. "You must revenge her, or I will not feel at ease all my life."
"Don't worry." Howard patted his wife's hand and helped her lie down.
