She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor-Chapter 587: Passing the Blame

She had just been consumed by extreme anger, using almost all the strength in her body.

Jade Bell’s face was deathly pale, dark red blood continuously flowed out, spreading across the floor.

Luna Williams’s mind was blank, her teeth chattered in fear. She curled into a ball, as though she had just snapped out of her panic, and only now remembered to run outside to call for help.

But after taking just two steps, she stopped again.

If she called for help now, and Jade Bell died, would she be considered the murderer?

At this thought, Luna Williams froze in place once more.

What should she do now?

Terrified, Luna Williams turned back to look at Jade Bell, swallowing hard with difficulty. Her trembling hand stretched out, placing it near Jade Bell’s nose.

"Ah—"

In the next instant, Luna Williams’s eyes widened, her entire body recoiled.

It seemed like... there was no breath...

She really had killed someone...

What to do? What to do?

"Grandma? Grandma... I didn’t mean to, Grandma..." Luna Williams threw herself forward, kneeling on the ground, fervently bowing to Jade Bell over and over, as though atoning for her sins.

"Grandma, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to, I only wanted to push you away, I... I didn’t expect this, I didn’t expect it would turn out like this, I truly didn’t expect this to happen."

"Grandma, it’s all my fault, all my fault. I’m sorry, I’m sorry... Please, don’t come after me for your revenge, I really didn’t know it would turn out like this... Sob sob sob..." Luna Williams held her head and cried bitterly, but didn’t dare sob too loudly, afraid that someone from outside would hear and come in.

"What do I do now? I’ve killed someone... What do I do?" Luna Williams clutched her head, lying on the floor, utterly incoherent, aimlessly panicked like a fly without a head.

Suddenly, a phone rang.

Her already tense and stiff body jolted in fright at the sudden noise.

Luna Williams frantically fumbled through her clothing pockets before realizing that the ringing phone wasn’t hers—it was Jade Bell’s.

Sobbing uncontrollably, Luna Williams began searching for the phone on Jade Bell’s body.

The caller was Hope Williams.

Luna Williams’s face grew even paler. She tightly gripped Jade Bell’s phone and quickly put it on silent. Of course, she didn’t dare answer.

Hope Williams had initially planned to call Jade Bell to inform her about her return to Emperor Capital.

But after calling several times in succession, Jade Bell still hadn’t answered.

"What’s going on," Hope Williams murmured softly, stubbornly dialing again.

Luna Williams stared at the phone that wouldn’t stop ringing, her eyelids squeezed tightly shut. Her heart pounded fiercely, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

Her mind was completely blank now, her hands covering her ears as she lay on the ground, silently sobbing.

Suddenly, as though struck by a thought, she raised her head abruptly. Looking at the calls from Hope Williams, a bold idea began to take shape in her mind.

She picked up the phone from the ground, her trembling fingers hesitating for a long time over the answer button.

Glancing at Jade Bell lying on the ground, she decided to go all in and answered the call.

Hope Williams’s somewhat anxious voice came through, "Grandma?"

"Sister," Luna Williams called out to Hope Williams in a tear-filled voice.

Hope Williams frowned, "Luna? Why do you have Grandma’s phone?"

"Grandma just fainted from anger. The family doctor is currently treating her," Luna Williams sobbed as she spoke.

"Fainted? How did she suddenly faint?"

"It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault... I wanted Grandma to give the group to me, but Grandma insisted on giving it to you. I... I had an argument with Grandma. It’s all my fault. Grandma is old, and I still made her angry, sob sob sob..."

Luna Williams cried as if her heart were breaking, even her voice trembled, sounding completely convincing.

"Sister... Should you come and check on Grandma? She doesn’t look well."

Hope Williams furrowed her brows tightly, "Got it. I’ll come over."

After hanging up, Hope Williams didn’t even bother picking up her bag. Taking only her phone and car keys, she hurried downstairs.

Downstairs, Alitzel Williams was sitting in the living room. Seeing Hope Williams rushing out in a hurry, Alitzel stood up quickly and asked, "Little Hope, where are you going?"

"Mom, I have something urgent. Wait for me, I’ll be back soon."

Alitzel Williams watched as Hope Williams hurried away. She followed her for a few steps and raised her voice, "Hey, slow down. Don’t be in such a rush, be careful on the road."

"Got it, Mom."

Luna Williams stared at the phone after hanging up, her heartbeat accelerating continuously.

If someone had to take the blame for murder, it had to be Hope Williams.

As long as Jade Bell died and Hope Williams went to prison, no one would fight her for the Williams Clan anymore.

A ruthless glint flashed in Luna Williams’s eyes. Staggering, she got up from the ground and lowered her gaze to look at Jade Bell.

Sorry, Grandma, don’t blame me. I didn’t mean to. Now, I’m just forced into a corner.

Luna Williams wiped away her tears, grabbed her clothing, and carefully wiped her fingerprints off Jade Bell’s phone before placing it back in Jade Bell’s pocket.
