Chapter 218 Suspicion Rose Again
I felt familiar at the first sight of the man in the photo. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
The photo was in black and white. The man in it was a little thin and looked very young.
But when I looked at the man carefully, I suddenly felt a spasm. That terrible knife in my memory seemed to have stabbed into my belly again.
"This man is your husband?"
The woman nodded, "Yes, he is my husband."
To make sure that I didn't mistake him, I asked deliberately, "What's his name?"
The woman looked at the man in the photo happily and said, "David."
My heart was pounding heavily. I never thought that I would meet David's family in this remote place.
The man who almost killed me, the ferocious man who killed people without blinking his eyes, was actually the one in the photo! How could he have such a nice family?
At this moment, I have an indescribable emotion towards the woman and children in front of me. There was only a line between hatred and sympathy.
So far, I could still remember how David stabbed the knife into the ground. He said that his wife and daughter were buried under the ground, and his words were full of emotions when he asked me to sing the birthday song for his daughter at that time.
"What's wrong with you? Do you know my man?"
The woman looked at me and asked me when she saw that I in a daze without saying anything for a long time.
How could I say to this woman who was obsessed with her husband that her husband was a murderer and that her husband is in prison now? He was now waiting for the trial of the court.
I shook my head. "No, I don't know him."
The woman lowered her head and looked at her husband's photo again. "That's right. How could you know such an ordinary person?"
I looked at her daughter who was leaning against the bed and touched her head. "When is her birthday?"
"A few days ago. On the day of my daughter's birthday, David called me and said that he would come back with a lot of money. He said he will celebrate the New Year with us. He wouldn't leave after he came back. But a few days ago, his friend came to our house and said that David had found a good job and would not come back for a long time."
I murmured, "He really won't be back for a long time."
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. What should they do in the future if David had abandoned his sick wife and two children?
"When the school is finished, you'd better let the two kids go to school. It's difficult for you to recover only by taking medicine at home. You'd better go to the hospital to have a look. We can pay for the expenses."
I made a promise to David's wife. She looked at me with unbelievable surprise and gratitude.
"We just met by chance. How can I ask you to pay my medical fees for me?"
"We are only doing a little favor to you."
I knew I was not a kind person, and I was not the kind of person who repaid good for evil. I was afraid that I would go back on my words later, so I said to Rogelio, "Let's go. Don't affect her rest."
He nodded and said, "Okay!"
Before leaving, Rogelio said to the woman, "I'll arrange someone to take you to the hospital later. Jasmine's words count."
The woman pushed Andrew and said, "Go and see uncle and aunt off."
Andrew followed us out obediently. "Will you really help my mother?"
I nodded to Andrew and said, "Promise me, if your mom gets better, you and your sister will go to school, okay?"
Andrew nodded vigorously. "In fact, I also want to go to school."
Andrew looked at Rogelio again and said, "The uncle who came here last time is very similar to this uncle."
I couldn't help but ask Andrew, "Did that uncle say his name? What does he do for a job?"
Andrew shook his head. "He asked a lot about my father. Is there anything wrong with my father?"
The children from poor families had become very mentally mature when they were young. That was how I felt about Andrew at that time. At such a young age, he even had a keen sense.
But I still shook my head. "I don't know your father. I think he will be fine."
I took another look at Andrew and his sister behind him, and then looked at his house. When I turned around and didn't look back, I felt something indescribable in my heart.
After walking with me for a while, Rogelio asked, "You didn't react properly just now. Do you know David?"
I looked at him. It was not strange that he didn't know the name of David.
I took a deep breath and said to Rogelio, "He was the one who kidnapped me and stabbed me."
"What! You mean the man who stabbed you is that woman's husband?"
I nodded. "Yes, the person in the photo is him, and his name is correct."
Hearing that, Rogelio furrowed his eyebrows more tightly. "But the police has announced to the public that he is the main criminal of a series of killings, and he has confessed his crime. He also said that he killed his wife and children. What's going on now?"
In fact, I was also confused about this matter.
"Why did he lie to the police? If what he said was a lie, then the real serial murderer was still at large! I think you can talk to Vann about it when we go back."
I nodded, but I still couldn't help thinking that David's real target was Erwin.
My mind was in a mess. 'Why is he charged with multiple killings now that David's target was Erwin?' I thought.
After all, with this kind of crime, he would definitely be sentenced to death. What was the reason that he gave up the chance to survive?
I looked at Rogelio again. Thinking of that the woman and his had mentioned that the man who came to visit them was very similar to Rogelio, I couldn't help but think of Robbie.
Even people like me who often saw them felt that they were similar, not to mention people who had only met them once.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Rogelio.
"Nothing. I just don't understand what David did. According to his family's situation, why didn't he kidnap me for money?"
"Most likely, these people are psychopathic. Who knows what they are thinking about? I just didn't expect that the woman and the two children are his family members."
Rogelio shook his head and looked at me. "He almost killed you. I almost lost you. Why did you help his family?"
"I don't know. Maybe I feel sorry for his family. After all, the children are innocent."
"Now that you want to help, I'll call my secretary and ask her to send this woman to the hospital for treatment. I think the treatment of her illness might be delayed by poor conditions of her family. Her disease may not be a serious disease that can't be treated."
I smiled at him with relief. "Thank you."
Holding my hand, Rogelio said, "I'm lucky because you are really kind."
