Chapter 592: There’s A Voice Recording

Karen had expected Cheyenne to take at least 20 minutes to bring a doctor over from the outpatient wing.

But Cheyenne actually took only less than two minutes to return!

At this moment, Karen was astonished. She was also extremely thankful that she hadn’t committed to her action just now. Otherwise, Cheyenne would have caught her, and she would be dead meat then!

“Mom, why are you standing there? I told you not to move around just now!” Cheyenne immediately walked over and helped Karen sit down by the bed.

She explained smilingly, “I was lucky enough to run into Dr. Stevens, so I asked him to come here. If you need any medicine later, I’ll go get it.”

“Ha, so that’s what happened! Indeed, we’re very lucky.” Karen chuckled wryly.

Dr. Stevens entered and checked Karen’s ankle.

Although Karen said that it hurt, there was neither redness nor swelling, much less any misalignment. It was just an ordinary ankle twist, and there weren’t any major issues.

“There are no major issues with your mother’s ankle. She just has to rest here for a while,” Dr. Stevens said calmly.

“It’s not serious? Doesn’t she have to apply some medicine or something?” Cheyenne asked worriedly.

Dr. Stevens looked at Karen. “That’s not necessary. Maybe your mother has a low pain tolerance, but there’s actually no major issue at all.”

Karen’s expression was a little unnatural as she hurriedly said, “There really doesn’t seem to be any major issue with me! I think that I might have suddenly sprained my ankle, so I received a great shock! Haha, Cheyenne is just really filial, so she immediately looked for a doctor when she saw that I had twisted my ankle. Sorry to have embarrassed myself in front of you, Dr. Stevens!

Dr. Stevens smiled. “It’s okay as long as there is no major problem with you. I’ll get going now then.”

Then he left the ward straight away.

Cheyenne saw the doctor out and thanked him several times before returning to the ward and asking, “Mom, does your ankle still hurt now?”

“Uh… it seems much better than before. It basically doesn’t hurt anymore.” Karen pretended to move her ankle a few times and then took a few steps.

Cheyenne sighed in relief. “I’m relieved then!”

But she didn’t notice that Karen was even more relieved than her.

I was so close!

I was so close to being discovered!

Fortunately, she had managed to give herself an out, thanks to her wits!

When Karen turned around, she raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead from fright.

But at the same time, she also made up her mind. She probably wouldn’t be able to kill William!

Every time she wanted to make a move against him, various incidents would crop up, be it intentional or not.

Including the three failed attempts before this, William had experienced five assassinations in total.

The first assassination was the violent car accident, which strangely didn’t kill William but only turned him into a vegetable. Moreover, it was very likely that he might wake up within two days.

The second time, she had tried to remove William’s oxygen tube but was interrupted by Cheyenne, who hadn’t fallen asleep.

During the third and fourth times, Karen had been hindered by the hitman disguised as a doctor, who had been sent by the Herons. In the end, the hitman had failed and had been tortured by Lucas.

Today, it was already the fifth time. She had tried to look for an opportunity to kill him. But before she could take action, her plans had been foiled by the doctor who had come early.

Even though Karen wasn’t a superstitious person, she couldn’t help wondering if William was being protected by some entity.

Why is he always so lucky? Karen was indignant, but she was really terrified too.

Today, she had already found the best opportunity. But she reckoned that even until William woke up, she wouldn’t be able to find another chance to take action.

So she decided to run away immediately before William woke up and escape as far as possible!

She wouldn’t mind escaping to another state either!

In short, she didn’t want to see the fiend Lucas ever again!

After resting patiently for a while, Karen said, “My ankle is fine now, Cheyenne. I’ll go out to get something.”

Seeing that Karen could walk properly, Cheyenne said, “Alright, go ahead. Be careful on your way, and watch out for cars on the road.”

“Yes, yes, I got it!” Karen agreed perfunctorily before picking up her purse and scurrying out of the hospital.

First of all, she would return to the lousy apartment William rented and hide all the jewelry, bank cards, and other valuables in her suitcase. She would then think of a way to return to the lake villa to get more things…

While Karen was letting her imagination run, someone stood in front of her to hinder her from leaving.

Caught off guard, she almost collided into this person. She stopped and immediately glared at him. “Who are you? Don’t you have any eyes? Can’t you see that there’s someone in front of you?”

The person who stopped in front of Karen was a middle-aged man in his fifties.

He didn’t mind Karen’s vicious words and instead asked directly, “You must be Ms. Karen Turner, right? I have a wonderful plan I want to work on with you. I think you will definitely be interested.”

The visitor seemed very sure of himself.

Karen’s first reaction was that she had met a conman, and she immediately yelled, “I don’t have any money, and I don’t want to invest in anything. You’d better find someone else! I’m busy now! Don’t get in my way!”

With that, she wanted to walk around the strange middle-aged man.

“Ms. Turner, if you leave just like that, I bet you will definitely regret your decision in the future because what I have in my hands will land you in prison and keep you behind bars for the rest of your life!” The gloomy voice of the middle-aged man sounded.

Karen stopped in her tracks and was instantly terrified.

“You… What nonsense are you babbling about? I… I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Karen naturally denied it.

The middle-aged man took out his phone and waved it in front of Karen. “Don’t worry. I think you will definitely change your mind after listening to this recording I have.”

He clicked on the audio of a recording on his phone.

“Craig, you should know very well that you don’t have long to live and that your daughter has also been diagnosed with cancer and requires a lot of money for treatment! Anyway, I’ve already told you that I have fifty grand here. Although it’s not much, I’m afraid you won’t be able to earn that much money even before you die!

“I will give you this money now to cure your daughter. You just need to use your life to do this one matter for me. I think you’re smart enough to know what to choose!

“Surely you don’t want your daughter to die at a young age, do you? Besides, it’s not like I need you to do this. If you don’t agree, I will go to someone else…”

“Okay! I agree! But you have to promise to give me the fifty grand in cash!”

“Okay, it’s a deal then!”

The recording only had the voices of a man and a woman, but Karen’s face was already terribly pale.

She never thought that the conversation between her and the driver she had hired to assassinate William would end up in the hands of a complete stranger!
