Two Brides, One Tragic Twist

Harvey had obviously never seen me angry before, and it left him stunned for a long while.

In his eyes, I had always been the docile sister-in-law of the family, and I behaved even more meekly in Jack's presence.

He had never known the real me.noveldrama

The way I behaved before had just been an act I put on in order to please Jack.

Now that I thought about it, Jack had probably long seen me as Hannah's substitute while I remained oblivious to it.

It wasn't until I had wasted years of my most precious youth and lost my child that

I finally came to my senses.

Perhaps in their eyes, our relationship over the past four years had been wonderful and not worth having a falling-out over.

That was only because they always reaped the benefits without making any concessions.

After I finished yelling at Harvey, Iris poked her head out of her bedroom and gave me a thumbs up.

My anger vanished instantly. Fearing that Harvey would notice, I quickly hung up the call.

Unfortunately, I did not sleep well at all that night.

I finally drifted into a deep sleep at sunrise, only to be woken by a call from Harvey.

I answered the call irritably to hear him say that the police had already found the truck driver who hit me that day.

My drowsiness disappeared the instant I heard that, and I sat upright in my bed in excitement.

I scrambled to get Iris. We quickly washed up, then hurried to the police station.

The truck driver confessed on the spot that someone had paid him a large sum of money to do it.

The only condition that person had given him was to drive past the hospital entrance on time on the day of the incident. He claimed that he was unaware of anything else.

The route he took past the hospital had been predetermined by the company he worked for. So, he had not even needed to go out of his way to do anything. He had only hesitated for two seconds before agreeing.

He claimed that he had been driving properly that day and had no idea why the taxi ahead of him would suddenly make a sharp turn.

His truck had collided directly with the back of the vehicle, and the trunk of the taxi had been completely crushed.

He had narrowly missed hitting me in my seat.

Remembering the mystery person's request not to slow down or brake no matter what happened, the driver had left the scene against his better judgement.

Tears streamed down his face as he clutched his head, breaking down while pleading his innocence.

Although the accident had not been his responsibility, he had still been so scared that he promptly resigned and did not dare leave his house after that day.

He said that he had been trapped in horrifying nightmares every night since then

and had not enjoyed a good sleep in a very long time.

When he closed his eyes, he would see me lying in a pool of blood.

He had actually felt relieved when the police showed up at his doorstep.

As soon as he finished speaking, Harvey turned to me and asked, "Can you contact the taxi driver from that day? It seems that the only

doubt lies with him now."

We had finally gotten to this point.

I smiled. "Of course. However, Hannah was the one who called for the taxi, so

you'll probably need to ask her for the driver's contact details."

The testimony of an outsider was clearly more credible than mine.

Harvey did not seem to have expected that Hannah was the one who called the taxi. He had been growing suspicious since I told him that.

Naturally, he knew that Hannah would check into the hospital that day because he was the one who had sent her there.

He had only gone to buy components to fix the water pipe after dropping her off at the hospital.

However, he had not expected us to cross paths.

After all, the gynecology and surgery departments were not located in the same building.

Even more unexpected was the fact that she would hail a taxi on my behalf because, in her eyes, I was the thief who had stolen Jack's love.

Harvey smoked half a pack of cigarettes in annoyance. He could not seem to wrap his head around the situation.

His thoughts were an absolute mess. After hesitating for some time, he took out his personal phone and called Hannah.

The phone rang several times, but nobody answered the call.
