Chapter 57 A Bunch of Monkeys
Deborah stared blankly out the window without responding, seeming as though she couldn’t hear Ashton’s words.
Ashton’s expression was fierce, as if he wanted to strangle Deborah, ‘Helen has been in a coma for half a month. When she woke up, she was told that she needed a double leg amputation.
“She’s your sister, and she also explained what happened with Alyssa. She didn’t mean to do it. Deborah, how could you be so cruel?” Deborah finally reacted and suddenly turned her gaze back to Ashton, her deep, dark eyes staring at him intensely.
Ashton didn’t know what was going on, but when their eyes met, he felt a strange and inexplicable sensation, and for a moment, he even felt a chill run down his back.
Deborah asked him word by word, “She’s not dead?”
Alyssa fell off a cliff and her body was burned beyond recognition.
Helen jumped from the fifth floor, but she was not dead?
Ashton was seething with anger and disgust. “Deborah, are you disappointed? Helen is a kind-hearted and compassionate person. She survived this ordeal because of divine intervention…”
Before he could finish, Deborah suddenly got up from the bed and rushed out of the room, barefoot and without even putting on her shoes, her eyes bloodshot and frenzied
Ashton was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what she was about to do.
He immediately got up and caught up with her in just a few steps, grabbing her by the hand. “Do you still want to harm Helen? Do you
want to die?”
Deborah pushed and shoved him with all her might, but Ashton held her tightly and dragged her back to the bedside, throwing her onto the bed Deborah, if you ever lay a hand on Helen again, Ill make sure you regret it.”
Deborah fell back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling without any reaction for a long time
After a while. Deborah sat up and started laughing uncontrollably like a madwoman. “She’s still alive! Hahaha, she fell from the fifth floor and she’s still alive! It’s divine intervention, hahaha, divine intervention!”
Ashton frowned, “What’s wrong with you?”
Deborah didn’t hear what he said, she just kept laughing uncontrollably.
Jeff couldn’t bear to see it and couldn’t help but tell Ashton, “Mr. Mullen, Mrs. Mullen hasn’t eaten or drunk anything for half a month.
“I’ve been watching her, and I’ve seen her vomit blood a few times. Her body and mind may have problems. Should we do a check-up
for her?”
Ashton interrupted him angrily. “She can survive without eating or drinking for half a month? Jeff, I know you feel sorry for Deborah, but you should know that she’s not worth pitying for wanting to harm Helen.”)
Jeff sym,
zed. “Mrs. Mullen could only survive with nutritional injections, and the fact that she’s been vomiting blood these past
few days is true
“That’s enough, I don’t want to hear anymore. Keep an eye on her and don’t let her see Helen again “Ashton had no patience left and
left the ward, slamming the door behind him.
Deborah’s laughter persisted for a long time, and she couldn’t seem to stop. She had not shed a single tear until now. Finally, she had
a reaction, but it was an uncontrollable fit of laughter.
She laughed and reached for her phone that was thrown aside.
Jelf couldn’t help but advise her, “Mrs. Mullen, Ms. Bauer is also going to have both legs amputated. Her life is ruined. For your own.
good, maybe you should stop now.”
Deborah didn’t respond, her fingers sliding across the screen of her phone
Jeff thought there were probably many photos of Alyssa on her phone that he didn’t have the heart to look at, so he just stood by her side and watched her
After a while, his own phone rang, and it was a call from Helen’s mother, Kinsley
Jeff’s face showed unease. Since Helen fell from a high building half a month ago, the Bauer family didn’t know about it
This call now made him feel a little uneasy
He hesitated for a moment but answered the phone.
As soon as he answered, Kinsley’s hoarse, weeping voice came through, Jeff, is what Deborah sent me true? My Helen, did something really happen to her?”
Jeff’s face darkened as he immediately looked over at Deborah on the bed.
Deborah still held her phone in her hand, but now she wasn’t staring at it. Instead, she lifted her head and smiled at him.
At that moment, Jeff began to feel uneasy. He walked over to Deborah and snatched the phone out of her hand.
The phone screen was still on the chat interface. He saw that Deborah had sent two photos and a voice message.
One photo showed Deborah holding a knife and holding Helen hostage on the rooftop. She had taken a selfie with the two of them.
The other photo showed Helen lying unconscious on a stretcher, covered in blood and being rushed by medical staff and Ashton to
the emergency room.
As for the voice message, Jeff clicked on it, and heard his own voice speaking.
“Mrs. Mullen, Ms. Bauer is now going to have both her legs amputated, and her life will be ruined. Please stop now for your own
good.”
The words Jeff had just said to Deborah had been recorded and sent to Kinsley by Deborah, who was playing with her phone.
Over the past half month, Jeff had thought that Deborah was completely devastated, that she had lost all her ability to think and
reason and wouldn’t do anything.
But now he realized he was wrong.
Kinsley’s voice, filled with grief and sorrow, continued to come through the phone. Jeff opened his mouth, but didn’t know how to
explain.
The photos and voice message sent by Deborah had already revealed everything.
The call was abruptly ended. Less than half an hour later, Kinsley and Devon rushed to the hospital together.
Kinsley’s makeup was ruined by tears, her hair was disheveled, and her face was filled with agony.
The two of them rushed straight to Helen’s hospital room, where they saw a pale-faced Helen lying on the bed and Ashton outside the room discussing amputation treatment options with the doctor.
Kinsley rushed into the room and collapsed onto the floor. “My Helen, she’s my only treasure. If anyone dares to amputate her, they’ll have to kill me first! Ah just kill me now!”
Deborah stood near,
the hallway, insistent on seeing what was going on. Jeff couldn’t stop her, but he was afraid she would lose control and cause trouble, so he had to stay by her side.
She watched Kinsley wailing at the door of the hospital room, listened to Helen’s piercing cries coming from inside the room, and saw Ashton at a loss for what to do.
She laughed uncontrollably, her eyes and eyebrows bending.
Kinsley was emotionally out of control, “No! I won’t allow! My daughter can’t have her limbs amputated!
Deborah who pushed my daughter down and caused her to become like this! I’m going to call the police now, Deborah must go and be shot!”
ahton had a splitting headache and fried to persuade her in a gentle voice, “Mrs. Bauer, please calm down, Helen…”
elay screamed and wailed, “Don’t switch the topic! I want Deborah to go to jail for attempted murder! Even if she doesn’t get the death penalty, she should be sentenced to life in prison and sit there until she dies.
“Where are the police? Devon, you have to help our daughter and call the police!”
Ashton rushed to help Kinsley, to comfort Helen, and to apologize to Devon.
Deborah’s laughter became so loud and uncontrollable that she couldn’t stand up straight.
Perhaps her laughter was too much to bear, and Ashton, who was busy and sweating profusely, finally noticed her.
Jeff looked fearful and said in a deep voice, “Mrs. Mullen, please stop laughing, stop laughing.”
Deborah couldn’t stop, holding her stomach and continuing to laugh, “It’s so funny. Jeff, why aren’t you laughing? Look at them, jumping around like a bunch of monkeys on stage, haha,”
Ashton was furious, and he approached Deborah with a few steps, staring at her with a cold voice, “Shut up.”
Deborah pointed at him, laughing uncontrollably, “I brought the monkeys here.”
Ashton’s expression grew even uglier, and he covered her mouth with his hand. “I told you to shut up, stop laughing!”
Meanwhile, at the end of the hallway, a passing figure quickly turned back.
Joseph felt a sense of familiarity when he caught a glimpse of the person. When he turned back, he realized that they were his old acquaintances.
He chuckled and said, “Shawn, there’s a circus performance at the hospital today. What a coincidence that I came!”
