At this time, Judith was sleeping so my first reaction was to walk out of the ward with my cell phone.

The corridor was in a mess and the voices of doctors and nurses were mingled together.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. When I checked the room, she wasn't there. I didn't pay attention to it at first but the security guard said there was a patient on the roof just now and I saw it was the patient in bed No. 3!"

The nurse, who was speaking, sounded like she was crying.

If something bad happens to Lita, she surely would be implicated.

Several doctors went upstairs with the nurse.

At this time, Thomas and Helen weren't here and Judith was resting. In other words, there was only one person related to Lita in the whole Hospital, that was, me.

I followed the doctors and nurses and got into the elevator.

At the top floor....

It was April now and the weather was cold at this time. After I went up, I saw Lita, who was dressed in a thin hospital gown, standing on the edge of the rooftop.

    It was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky!Lita, I, and all the doctors, nurses as well as security guards around were all shocked.Lita stood on the rooftop and burst into tears."Yes, I've seen you. I can die in peace now and go accompany my child."She was just about to spread her hands when a woman's voice came from behind me, "Don't do it Lita! Lita!"I recognized the voice at once. It was Helen.I turned around and saw Helen, Thomas, and a few policemen.Helen looked at Dave and rushed over. She clenched her fists wanting to hit him, only to be stopped by several bodyguards.She, who was unwilling to give up, shouted at Dave, "Dave, you are so cruel!"Dave stood there as Helen shouted hysterically, "Lita did everything for you. She gave everything for you and now that her child is gone and she has been tarnished, you turn your back on her. Moreover, everyone knows about it! Never should you expect that I will let you get away with it easily!"Dave remained silent.He looked a

    "The building is so high. If she falls, she surely will die!" Hearing my words, Helen couldn't be angrier."Hehe. Then she will have to jump down before we can know the answer."I indeed wasn't worried that Lita would fall.As I was bickering with Helen, I heard Dave's voice ringing above my head. He asked me, "What do you want me to do, Reed?"His voice wasn't loud but I, who was beside him, and Helen, both heard his words."How come you ask her? On what grounds can you ask her opinion about something related to my daughter's life? She surely wants Lita to die. She was the one who did all these things to Lita!" Helen said hysterically."I've already said it. It had nothing to do with me." I looked in the direction of Lita and said, "Why don't you ask her about the men chasing her a few days ago?"As I was speaking, Dave grabbed my hands more and more tightly. He asked again, "What do you want me to do? Reed, as long as you say it, I will agree."Every word Dave had said was firm and

    As soon as I finished my words, tears fell from my eyes for no reason.It was completely out of my control.It wasn't until I felt the heat and humidity on my cheeks that I realized I was crying.Dave looked at me. There seemed to be something brewing in his black eyes. He reached out and wiped away my tears bit by bit.For a long time, he didn't say anything.Sensing Judith's weakness, I knew I didn't have time to be unreasonable. I begged him, "Mr. Mitaka, I beg you to marry my sister." Fearing that he would refuse, I added, "Just now, you said you would agree with whatever I say."Hearing what I said, Dave gave a wry smile.He looked at me and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Yes, I said that so I will stick with my words."For some reason, I noticed Dave's eyes seemed to be a little moist.He looked at Lita and said, "I'll marry you.""Really?"Lita's eyes were full of joy.Dave walked over to Lita. She didn't resist.At this time, Judith was relieved. After the docto

    I went to see Judith after getting off work every day.She was now back in her ward but she was on stand by for an operation because of her physical condition, her operation time was delayed for four days.On the day of her operation, I arrived at the hospital early.As soon as I entered the ward, Judith's eyes lit up when she saw me. She said happily, "Reed, you're here.""Well, Grandma, how do you feel today?"I looked around, only to see that no one else was in the ward except Stacy, who was sitting by Judith's bed and holding a bowl of porridge.Neither Thomas nor Comfort came.Judith took a sip of porridge and took a deep breath, "I am much better. The doctor has checked on me this morning.""Well, that's good." I nodded.I stayed with Judith for two hours without anyone coming to see her. A middle aged doctor in a white coat came in and introduced himself to Judith, "Hello, my name is Anthony Mars and I will be your surgeon today.""Hello, hello." Judith quickly greeted the do

    After that, she began to cry at the door of the ward.The medical staff coming and going all looked at her.I, who was standing behind her suddenly felt a little angry.Comfort was just putting on a show. Seeing this, I walked to the elevator.When the door of the elevator opened, I saw two people standing inside.Lita and Dave.Originally, the two of them were standing side by side with each other but as soon as Lita saw me, she immediately held Dave's arm and leaned on him.She greeted me delicately and said, "Reed, good to see you."The two of them walked out.I didn't say anything. I bypassed them and stepped into the elevator.The elevator went down little by little but I felt a little pain in my heart.I had asked Dave on the rooftop to marry Lita and what I had said that day had been echoing in my ears. The look on Dave's face when he bowed his head and wiped my tears had also been lingering on my mind.If only he loved me...How great would that be?!When the door of the eleva

    At the entrance of the hospital while waiting for a taxi, Dave appeared in front of me."Mr. Mitaka, is there anything else?" I looked up at him, trying to make my voice distant.Dave pulled me with one hand and took out a necklace from the pocket of his trousers with the other.He then stretched out his hand. I lowered my head and saw a pink diamond necklace in it. It was the birthday present he had gotten for me.My heart ached as I said, "Mr. Mitaka, you don't have to do this."Dave only said two words, "Take it." Then he stuffed the necklace into my hands roughly.It was the first time I was seeing the necklace during the day.The golden sunlight set against the pink diamond necklace making it dazzling. Under the golden sunlight, the necklace was shining brightly, especially the pink heart shaped diamond. It looked so perfect, making others lust for it.I looked at the necklace for a moment and tried returning it, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mitaka. It is too expensive and not suitable for m

    I needed someone to bail me out but whom can I turn to?Kim?She just posted on her Facebook account earlier and she was in Ghana now.Who else can I turn to?Sitting in the guard room of the police station, I looked at the watch, which turned around little by little, on the wall outside.It was eleven o'clock in the evening.When I thought I would be detained like this, the police came over, "Reed Defiant, you got bailed. You can leave now.""Who is it?"I was so surprised. When I came to the door of the police station, I saw a man standing there in a light colored suit under the somewhat cool moonlight.When he saw me coming out, he waved to me.The sky was dark and I didn't recognize who it was but when I got closer, "Desmond Gaddy? Why are you here?"How is it him?"Why am I here? Do you think I would have loved to pick you up in the middle of the night?"Desmond's expression was similar to mine. He took out the key of his car, pointed at a high end sports car not far away, and

    More than a week had passed and I hadn't even drafted my design work yet. Fortunately, Comfort had booked an escort room in the hospital so I stayed there with my laptop to work.After checking on Judith, I went back to work on my drawings. However, a day later, I received a summon letter from court, informing me the case of Judith's surgery had been pushed to court.When I saw the summon letter, I genuinely realized I was about to fight another 'battle' again.In desperation, I had to call Kim, asking if she knew any lawyer.Kim had a lot of connections. When I told her about this matter, she sent me the name of a law firm, a lawyer, and his phone number.It was just that she was abroad now and couldn't be with me.The law firm referred by Kim was called Nommy Law Firm. Although I had searched for this law firm on the internet before, I dared not call them at all.This time, it was Kim who introduced them to me. I hesitated for a moment and decided to try my luck.I took a leave from

    When I no longer looked at the computer screen, I saw the reporters all looking at me with different looks in their eyes. It seemed that each of their looks was meaningful.Some seemed to be waiting to make fun of me. And others seemed to be waiting to mock me.This made me even more certain that I wouldn't have an easy time later.To prevent them from sensing my cowardice, I straightened up my back, trying to look calm as much as I could.Finally, it was 10 a.m.At this time, Matt hadn't yet appeared still.At this moment, Loraine walked to the platform in front of her. Sitting down, she said, "Thank you all for coming."After that, she introduced me to everyone and the purpose of the press conference today.I greeted everyone, "Hello, I am Alina Jetson as well as Reed Defiant."I didn't want to hide my identity anymore.At this time, the reporters under the stage all showed that they were all watching a good show.Judging from their expressions, they all seemed to be waiting for th

    At this time, the phone had been hung up, and my heart was pounding. I was afraid that he would know that I was going to hold a press conference privately tomorrow.I was afraid that he would blame me for hiding the contact with Matt from him.My feelings were extremely complicated. However, the man was at the door.I went downstairs and opened the door.Dave stood at the door, only wearing a thin suit coat. Under his slightly messy hair, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles under his eyes.He had food in his hand.He must have had a wearing journey. At first glance, it could be seen that he had hurried to come over as soon as he got off the plane.Looking at his appearance, my heart was filled with guilt, and I felt that I shouldn't have hidden it from him.At least, I should tell him.But now things had been proceeding, I didn't even have the courage to say it.Dave entered the room and put the food on the table. He reached out his hands and took me in his arms. Pu

    I suppressed the excitement in my heart, "What is it?"In fact, if only Matt told the story by himself, it would be not convincible as there was no evidence.Then it needed to be testified by someone else, or by some evidence which Matt had kept for himself.Matt was in a conflicting emotion which can be seen from his face. "In fact, I also recorded what happened at that time."Haha.Recording was really a good method.I was relieved hearing this. I put my hands on the table and seriously asked him, "Which do you think will be more disadvantageous to you? The exposure of having an affair with the director's wife or of doing something wrong for your child?"In fact, I felt that both of them were almost the same. However, the latter seemed to be slightly better than the former.Matt looked at me. Instead of answering, he asked reluctantly, "How many videos and recordings do you have? Where did these things come from?""I have four altogether." I thought for a moment and said, "I asked s

    Because it was at night without heavy traffic, Dave arrived soon.I followed Dave back to No.1, but I still didn't tell him about the videos after hesitating several times.However, I beat him around the bush and it turned out that Dave knew nothing about that.Then, who sent those files to me?Soon, I thought of another person, Oogway.I realized that meeting him this afternoon wasn't a coincidence.Since the previous incident, I realized that there were not so many coincidences in the world. All the coincidences might be set by others.I remembered what Oogway said before I got in the taxi?Was he really making up for his mistake?His deed has nothing to do with me, but I need these documents now.The next morning, Dave went to work.Before he went out, he told me that he needed to go abroad for a business trip, which would take about a week.Originally, I planned to go straight to meet Matt that day. However, after thinking for a while, I gave up.I took my laptop to Judith's house

    I went to Judith's home. I didn't know why I felt more relaxed here than elsewhere, as if I belonged here.Or, only in here, I can really let go of things.I was preoccupied with the matters concerning Judith's death.I called Marie and told her all the ins and outs of this matter. I wanted to see if her husband Jerrold can check whether there was any report about this.After that, I searched for the list of associate directors of the Hospital.I had also come in contact with grandma's attending doctor at that time, so I should have some impression.There were four associate directors in the hospital. I scanned them roughly and soon focused on a photo of an associate director named Matt Parma!'That's him!' I told myself!"My grandmother's attending physician was this man."I looked at the doctor's resume from the Internet again. He was the youngest among all the associate directors. In comparison to other associate directors, he should be the most inexperienced.How could he be an a

    We walked to my house. I took the elevator to go up, and Dave followed.When I reached the upper floor, I did not look at my door first, but at Oogway's.Oogway and I started from being neighbors. Then I thought perhaps everything was not just a coincidence.It was planned by him.I walked out of the elevator and opened the door with the key. Then I went in and found the Property Ownership Certificate.There was a black cloth bag put together with the Property Ownership Certificate, which stored the pink necklace that Dave had given me.I hesitated for a moment, and then put it into my bag.This necklace was so expensive. Maybe I could help Dave by selling it.When I went out, Dave was waiting at the door. He looked at me with a solemn face. "Have you made up your mind? If you don't want to sell it, I can...""Let's go." I interrupted him. "I don't want to live next door with him anymore."'He' meant Oogway.Dave didn't say anything else.He accompanied me to the Real Estate Bureau wi

    It took about half an hour for Comfort to come out.As soon as she opened the door and saw me standing there, she was scared to take a step back and barely stood still. Then she looked at me and said with impatience, "What are you doing? Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night!?""Tell me clearly what you just said. What was wrong with grandma's tube?"'Today, if I don't figure this out, how can I sleep! That was what I thought.As I spoke, I switched on the lights in the corridor.The orange light shone on Comfort's face.The woman's face was still pale because of the shock. She said impatiently, "I don't know. You need to ask your father.""I'm asking you!" I threatened her. "I still have the video of you that year. Listen, anyway, you know what's my situation now. I don't want to be alive anymore. I'm not afraid to announce it in public and have a life and death struggle with you!"In fact, I was not sure if the video of Comfort I took was still there.But I still needed to

    Judith's home looked the same as before, and the furniture wasn't changed, which made me gratified.After entering, Comfort said, "You can stay. I'll come back tomorrow morning. I'll go first.""Don't you want to stay here?" I looked at Comfort in surprise."I, I have a place, I don't live here!" Comfort's face was full of panic, as if she was afraid that I would ask more.At that moment, my mind suddenly became clear. I walked over and grabbed Comfort's hand, "No! If you want the exchange for my apartment, you must stay here with me for the night!""I won't stay!" Comfort shook off my hand with all her might!Her eyes were filled with fear!It was as though she resisted being here!What was she afraid of?Even though I didn't have a clear head on this day, my mind was unusually clear at this very moment.I pulled her and said, "No, then I won't do the exchange."Hearing this, Comfort immediately hesitated and begged, "I, I want to go back and take care of my husband...""You can ask

    My heart went from anger, to panic, to numbness.In the end, I didn't even know when this farce would end.I didn't know how many tears I had shed.However, when I came to myself, the people around me seemed to have dispersed, as if the police had come to stop them.In the end, I was left alone.I felt like I was deprived of all my feelings.I couldn't feel sadness, anger or grief.I stood up. I was pointed at by passerbys when I made my way back, finally, I arrived at the No.1 on foot.Along the way, I was in a daze.I didn't quite remember what happened.I went home, took a shower, changed my clothes, and sat down on the sofa.My brain was in a mess.I completely seemed to have entered a state where I couldn't help denying myself.As I sat there, all I thought about was... all these things happened because of me.Because of me, the studio was destroyed.Because of me, all the orders had been cancelled.Because of me, my mother's life was exposed to the public.Because of me, Dave's
