Is family, she had been devastated.
Jessica hail always been pampered and spoiled. Now that she had suffered such a serious injury and had a mental breakdown, her condition
Meanwhile, at the hospital, ever since jessica fonist out she wasn’t the daughter of the Woods
That night, she developed a high fever that wouldn’t subside, leaving Rachel utterly distressed. She stayed by her daughter’s side, unable to close her eyes even for a moment
I was until the next morning that Jessica’s fever finally began to subside. However, she still hadn’t woken up and looked very pale. She kept mittering in her sleep. Tmy the daughter of the Words family, In the daughter of the Woods family.”
Jessica Hearing her daughter’s faint whispers in her dream, Rachel couldn’t stoji
⠀⠀⠀ She mumbles to herself. “My poor girl, you’re at socha tender age. How

As Rachel was weeping, the door to the hospital room suddenly opencil.
Rachel was startled and quickly turned around to see who it was.
Darell and Humphrey walked in
cars from falling.
I you endure such a blow! Why is life so cruel and unfair to me and
“Darell Rachel’s heart leaped with joy. She thought her husband had come to see Jessica
But when she saw the indifferent look on Darell’s face and Humphrey’s faintly morking smile, her last shred of hope was ruthlessly shattered. Her heart sank, and she felt utterly despairing
She knew that what was bound to happen had finally come.
“D–Darell, Humphrey Rachel stood up from her chair, rembling slightly. Her face was filled with panic, her eyes misty with tears. Even though she was in her forties, she still had an air of charm about her that could softer anyone’s heart
But unfortunately, there was no trace of sympathy in Darell or Humphrey’s eyes. Direll got straight to the point, saying, “Ler’s talk outside.”
Rachel felt her heart grow even heavier at his words. She nodded and followed Darell out of the hospital room
They arrived at a cafe. The only people
le inside were Darell, Humphrey, Rachel, and Darell’s lawyer, Vincent Fox.
Vincent placed a divorce agreement in front of Rachel and said matter–of–factly, “Mrs… Ms. Bush, this is the divorce agreement. Please review the terms, and if there’s no issue, sign it.”
Although Rachel had mentally prepared herself, when she actually saw the divorce papers, it felt like a bolt of lightning had struck her. Her mind buzzed, and she felt as though the world was spinning.
She looked up sharply at the cold and estranged man sisting across from her. Her eyes were filled with shock and sorrow as she choked out, “Darell are you really going to divorce me? We’ve been married for more than a decade. Do you feel nothing for me at all?
Darell glanced at her indifferently, but Humphrey spoke first. He sneered, “Rachel, you got pregnant with another man’s child and tricked my dad into marrying you.
“For more than ten years, he’s been in the dark. And you’re asking if he has feelings for you? Tak, have you forgotten how you managed to marry into our family in the first place? Did you really think it was out of love?”

Humphrey’s gaze turned sharp, and he said, “Huh? So, you’re telling me to shut up?
Rachel had always been afraid of Humphrey because was terrifyingly perceptive, often seeing right through her schemes. Under his sharp gaze, she felt completely exposed and had no choice but to retreat.
Shrinking back, she started to cry again, trying to evoke Darell’s sympathy. “Darell my mom doesn’t know about this yet. She’s still in critical condition at the hospital. If she finds out we’re divorcing she’ll be devastated and might not survive.
“Even if you don’t care about me, think about Emily. That’s also her mother we’re talking about! Can you really bear to let an twilight years worry about us”

Humphrey maintained his gredlemanly demeanor and said calmly, “At your age, you should know you need to take actions. You falsely accured an innocent man. Shouldn’t you be punished for that“:
Seething with anger, Rachel retorted, “Charlie only spent some time in custody. Whare the big deal? But Jesura was severely injured by Nina! Shouldn’t Nina also take responsibility for her actions? She intentionally hurt someone. I can nie her tool
“Go ahead” Humphrey’s smile vanished, and a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes
His voter turned cold as he said, “Tven
n il Nina weir amested for intentional harm, we could easily hail her out. But as for you and Jessica, we can pile on cough charges to keep you in prison for the rest of your life”
Humphrey Woods, you’re going too far!” Rachel shoates in anger,
You’re one to talk.” Humphrey replied with a cold smirk. “You tricked my father into raising your daughter for 18 years. You’re the one who’s gone too far, taking advantage of honest people.
“You!” Rachel was rendered speechless once again. She knew she couldn’t win an argument against Humphrey. No matter what, it would always end with her being in the wrong
She was unwilling to go to jail just like that. If she ended up with a criminal record, her entire life would be ruined, Buthe was at her wits end.
Suddenly, an idea crossed Rachel’s mind. Gritting her teeth, she decided to reveal a long–hidden truth. “What if I told you Emily’s death want an accident, but a conspiracy? I’m the only one who knows who the culprit is. Would you still press charges against us then?”
Her words landed like a thunderclap. Darell and Humphrey were both stunned.
Darell’s expression instantly turned cold. “Say it clearly”
The smile on Humphrey’s face disappeared as well. “Are you saying my mother’s death was a conspiracy! What happened? What do you know?”
Rachel shivered at the sudden change in atmosphere. She hadn’t expected things to become so intense
In truth, she didn’t know what had really happened back then. But it was her only chance to avoid jail me
Clinging to it desperately, she steeled herself and said, “All I can say is that Emily could have survived back then. If they had performed a C–section there wouldn’t have been excessive bleeding. But the doctor insisted that based on his experience, a natural delivery was possible. This led to her missing the optimal treatment window.
The doctor claimed he’d misjudged the situation and even served his sentence. But the truth is, someone made sure that Emily had a natural birth. Even when there were signs of excessive bleeding, the doctor insisted on proceeding with a delivery Your mother’s death wasn’t an accident. It was premeditated“””
This revelation completely overturned everything Darell and Humphrey had belarved
For over a decade, they had thought Emily’s death was a medical accident. No one had imagined there was such a hidden truth..
Tell us. Who ordered the doctor to do this?” Darell asked in a low voice.
Rachel knew that Emily’s death was a deep scar for Darell. Now that he had learned there was more to it, he would stop at nothing to uncover the truth. Taking a deep breath, she decided to play her cards carefully. “If I tell you now, won’t I become a fish on the chopping block! I’m not that scupid!”
“Henpht You think we can’t just go straight to the doctor who performed the surgery!” Humphrey sneered.
Rachel countered, “I’ve already investigated the doctor. He’s long dead. They say he had a seizure in prison and died there. If you don’t believe me, gu investigate yourself?
Hearing that, the father and son exchange a glance
If the doctor really had died in prison, it only confirmed Rachel’s claim and the doctor had likely been silenced.
“What will it take for you to tell us the truth?” Darell asked.

Rachel knew she had won her gamble. The power was back in her hands, and she couldn’t hide her excitement. Acting on impulse, she blurted out “If you want to know the truth, first kick Nina out of the family, and then acknowledge Jessica as your daughter!”
