Chapter 247
The servant had already collapsed to the ground and was motionless “Dad, she committed suicide!” Jasper Zeller exclaimed. Everyone followed after. Annalise Barton could not help but frown. It was obvious there was a mastermind behind this incident, so the servant committed suicide. But who was the mastermind? And who were they targeting? Julian Parks was afraid that Annalise would be hurt. He immediately held her hand. “Follow me!”
Annalise looked at Julian in resignation and smiled. Others might not know how strong she was, but how could he not know? Who could hurt her so easily? Julian knew what Annalise was thinking. He insisted, “It’s easy to dodge a spear in the epen, but it’s hard to defend against a hidden arrow.”
He pulled Annalise to his side, afraid that there was something fishy about the servant’s suicide. Everyone rushed to the washroom and saw a pool of blood on the ground. The servant’s wrist was still bleeding profusely, seemingly continuing. “Let me take a look at her.” Annalise squatted down and said to Jason, “Mr. Zeller, let me stop her bleeding.” As he spoke, she inserted five needles in a row.
Everyone could see that the bleeding on the servant’s wrist stopped after a short while. The reason Annalise told Jason that was to show everyone that she was trying to stop the bleeding so that she would not get into trouble and could not explain herself. After stopping the bleeding, she took her pulse. “How is it?” Jason asked. Annalise sighed. “She lost too much blood. It’s too late.”
She checked the servant’s eyes again. Her pupils were already dilated. The servant’s body was still warm for the time being, but it was gradually turning cold. She did not know what this servant had experienced to be so determined to die and cut herself so deeply. She had just taken her pulse. The servant should have been dead for a few minutes. If she could not save her, no one would be able to even if she was sent to the hospital.
When the police arrived, the servant had already died in the washroom. The police asked about the servant’s situation and ruled out the possibility of murder. After confirming that the servant had
committed suicide, they asked Jason if they needed the police to intervene and inform her family. Jason said that there was no need and the police left.
Jason personally informed the servant’s son that his mother had committed suicide. When Old Madam Zeller discovered the servant had passed away, tears suddenly rolled down her face. They had been together for more than 20 years. How could they not have feelings for each other? Even people grow attached to pets, let alone another human. “Why are you so stubborn?” Nancy sighed inwardly. “She deserved to die!” Jimmy said.
His wife pulled him back. “Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore.” Jason’s gaze swept across everyone in the house. The Zeller family had always been very united. They were kind, filial to their elders, happy, and harmonious. Old Madam had four children: three sons and a daughter. He was the eldest son, the second son was Jimmy, and the third son, Quentin Zeller, lived overseas.
Jason had two sons and a daughter: Jasper, Theo, and Juniper Jimmy had a son and a daughter. Other than his own son and daughter, he also had a stepdaughter, Nancy. They were one big family. Everyone had always been very harmonious and respectful to the old madam. Who was it that wanted to harm the old madam? His gaze swept across everyone’s faces.
Everyone’s expressions were natural, and there was nothing unusual about them. However, there was no way he would believe the servant’s words. If what the servant said was true, she would not have chosen to commit suicide. For attempted murder, she wouldn’t be in jail for long because she wouldn’t be given a long sentence. The atmosphere felt suffocating. Jasper sighed and said, “Fortunately, Grandmother is fine.”
Annalise had already removed the needles for the old madam. Now that it was time to end the moxibustion, she turned off the device and said, “That is all for the old madam’s treatment today.” “Thank you! You must be shocked. We’re sorry that this happened today,” Jason said apologetically. Annalise said politely, “I’m not shocked. Mr. Zeller, I’m sorry, but I may have to go back on my word.”
“What do you mean?” Jason had a bad premonition. As expected, he heard Annalise say, “From now on, I won’t treat the old madam anymore.”
To which, the old madam said, “Alright, Anna. Don’t come and treat me anymore.” She had lived her entire life. Her man had passed away before he was 40 years old. In the next 10 years, she became both a father and a mother and had to support the entire Zeller family. How could she not know that Mary Zahn was just a scapegoat? She was utterly disappointed. Someone in the seemingly united Zeller family wanted to harm her. Perhaps their target was this young doctor. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
A tall tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; a pile of sand on the shore will be washed away; and if one’s morals stand higher than the others, one would be shunned. People who lived too well always attracted jealousy. She now hoped it was not a member of the Zeller family who was involved, but someone outside had bribed Mary Zahn to kill her and frame Annalise. “Mom!” Jason panicked. His mother had been ill for so many years. Now that she had finally found someone who was capable, how could she give up on the treatment?
The old madam waved her hand and said, “It’s fine. Hurry up and get it done. I’m going to sleep.” She was still sad about Mary Zahn’s matter. She felt tense seeing so many people around. She wanted some time to herself so she could cope with her emotions. In the future, there wouldn’t be anyone to answer her when she called out “Mary.” “Mr. Zeller, I’ll take my leave first. Goodbye!” Annalise spoke first. “I’ll send you off.” Jason personally sent Annalise and Julian off.
Before they got into the car, Jason begged again, “Annalise, I know it’s a little difficult for you, but I still want to implore you to continue treating my mother. She’s been tortured by her illness for too long. It wasn’t easy for us to see hope.”Julian refused, “Please don’t force it on her, Mr. Zeller.” His tone was firm. Jason sighed, “I’m very sorry about what happened today. Drive carefully and have a safe trip back.”
“Okay,” Annalise replied, and the two of them got into the car. Jason watched them drive away and let out a long sigh. It was already late. Nancy said she was tired and went back to her room to rest. After she returned to her room, she instantly dropped the act and let out a bloodthirsty smile.. Annalise was quite smart to realize that she was targeting her this quickly. However, did she think it would be over if she refused to continue treating the old madam? Nancy was just getting started.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she casually made a call. “How’s your training going?” The other party replied, “Not bad. I’m already very familiar with the technique. “Besides that, I’ve already learnt and revised the necessary knowledge and theories. “Okay, I’ll arrange for the increase in difficulty for training.” “Mm,” Nancy replied. After hanging up, she called Timothy Parks again. “I’ve already invested in hundreds of clothing stores for you. Have the sales overtaken Julian Parks yet?”
