Chapter 57 A Bunch of Monkeys

Deborah stared blankly out the window without responding, seeming as though she couldn’t hear

Ashton’s words.

Ashton’s expression was fierce, as if he wanted to strangle Deborah, ‘Helen has been in a coma for

half a month. When she woke up, she was told that she needed a double leg amputation.

“She’s your sister, and she also explained what happened with Alyssa. She didn’t mean to do it.

Deborah, how could you be so cruel?” Deborah finally reacted and suddenly turned her gaze back to

Ashton, her deep, dark eyes staring at him intensely.

Ashton didn’t know what was going on, but when their eyes met, he felt a strange and inexplicable

sensation, and for a moment, he even felt a chill run down his back.

Deborah asked him word by word, “She’s not dead?”

Alyssa fell off a cliff and her body was burned beyond recognition.

Helen jumped from the fifth floor, but she was not dead?

Ashton was seething with anger and disgust. “Deborah, are you disappointed? Helen is a kind-hearted

and compassionate person. She survived this ordeal because of divine intervention…”

Before he could finish, Deborah suddenly got up from the bed and rushed out of the room, barefoot and

without even putting on her shoes, her eyes bloodshot and frenzied

Ashton was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what she was about to do.

He immediately got up and caught up with her in just a few steps, grabbing her by the hand. “Do you

still want to harm Helen? Do you

want to die?”

Deborah pushed and shoved him with all her might, but Ashton held her tightly and dragged her back

to the bedside, throwing her onto the bed Deborah, if you ever lay a hand on Helen again, Ill make sure

you regret it.”

Deborah fell back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling without any reaction for a long time

After a while. Deborah sat up and started laughing uncontrollably like a madwoman. “She’s still alive!

Hahaha, she fell from the fifth floor and she’s still alive! It’s divine intervention, hahaha, divine

intervention!”

Ashton frowned, “What’s wrong with you?”

Deborah didn’t hear what he said, she just kept laughing uncontrollably.

Jeff couldn’t bear to see it and couldn’t help but tell Ashton, “Mr. Mullen, Mrs. Mullen hasn’t eaten or

drunk anything for half a month.

“I’ve been watching her, and I’ve seen her vomit blood a few times. Her body and mind may have

problems. Should we do a check-up

for her?”

Ashton interrupted him angrily. “She can survive without eating or drinking for half a month? Jeff, I

know you feel sorry for Deborah, but you should know that she’s not worth pitying for wanting to harm

Helen.”)

Jeff sym,

zed. “Mrs. Mullen could only survive with nutritional injections, and the fact that she’s been vomiting

blood these past

few days is true

“That’s enough, I don’t want to hear anymore. Keep an eye on her and don’t let her see Helen again

“Ashton had no patience left and

left the ward, slamming the door behind him.

Deborah’s laughter persisted for a long time, and she couldn’t seem to stop. She had not shed a single

tear until now. Finally, she had

a reaction, but it was an uncontrollable fit of laughter.

She laughed and reached for her phone that was thrown aside.

Jelf couldn’t help but advise her, “Mrs. Mullen, Ms. Bauer is also going to have both legs amputated.

Her life is ruined. For your own.

good, maybe you should stop now.”

Deborah didn’t respond, her fingers sliding across the screen of her phone

Jeff thought there were probably many photos of Alyssa on her phone that he didn’t have the heart to

look at, so he just stood by her side and watched her

After a while, his own phone rang, and it was a call from Helen’s mother, Kinsley

Jeff’s face showed unease. Since Helen fell from a high building half a month ago, the Bauer family

didn’t know about it

This call now made him feel a little uneasy

He hesitated for a moment but answered the phone.

As soon as he answered, Kinsley’s hoarse, weeping voice came through, Jeff, is what Deborah sent

me true? My Helen, did something really happen to her?”

Jeff’s face darkened as he immediately looked over at Deborah on the bed.

Deborah still held her phone in her hand, but now she wasn’t staring at it. Instead, she lifted her head

and smiled at him.

At that moment, Jeff began to feel uneasy. He walked over to Deborah and snatched the phone out of

her hand.

The phone screen was still on the chat interface. He saw that Deborah had sent two photos and a

voice message.

One photo showed Deborah holding a knife and holding Helen hostage on the rooftop. She had taken a

selfie with the two of them.

The other photo showed Helen lying unconscious on a stretcher, covered in blood and being rushed by

medical staff and Ashton to

the emergency room.

As for the voice message, Jeff clicked on it, and heard his own voice speaking.

“Mrs. Mullen, Ms. Bauer is now going to have both her legs amputated, and her life will be ruined.

Please stop now for your own

good.”

The words Jeff had just said to Deborah had been recorded and sent to Kinsley by Deborah, who was

playing with her phone.

Over the past half month, Jeff had thought that Deborah was completely devastated, that she had lost

all her ability to think and

reason and wouldn’t do anything.

But now he realized he was wrong.

Kinsley’s voice, filled with grief and sorrow, continued to come through the phone. Jeff opened his

mouth, but didn’t know how to

explain.

The photos and voice message sent by Deborah had already revealed everything.

The call was abruptly ended. Less than half an hour later, Kinsley and Devon rushed to the hospital

together.

Kinsley’s makeup was ruined by tears, her hair was disheveled, and her face was filled with agony.

The two of them rushed straight to Helen’s hospital room, where they saw a pale-faced Helen lying on

the bed and Ashton outside the room discussing amputation treatment options with the doctor.

Kinsley rushed into the room and collapsed onto the floor. “My Helen, she’s my only treasure. If anyone

dares to amputate her, they’ll have to kill me first! Ah just kill me now!”

Deborah stood near,

the hallway, insistent on seeing what was going on. Jeff couldn’t stop her, but he was afraid she would

lose control and cause trouble, so he had to stay by her side.

She watched Kinsley wailing at the door of the hospital room, listened to Helen’s piercing cries coming

from inside the room, and saw Ashton at a loss for what to do.

She laughed uncontrollably, her eyes and eyebrows bending.

Kinsley was emotionally out of control, “No! I won’t allow! My daughter can’t have her limbs amputated!

Deborah who pushed my daughter down and caused her to become like this! I’m going to call the

police now, Deborah must go and be shot!”

ahton had a splitting headache and fried to persuade her in a gentle voice, “Mrs. Bauer, please calm

down, Helen…”

elay screamed and wailed, “Don’t switch the topic! I want Deborah to go to jail for attempted murder!

Even if she doesn’t get the death penalty, she should be sentenced to life in prison and sit there until

she dies.

“Where are the police? Devon, you have to help our daughter and call the police!”

Ashton rushed to help Kinsley, to comfort Helen, and to apologize to Devon.

Deborah’s laughter became so loud and uncontrollable that she couldn’t stand up straight.

Perhaps her laughter was too much to bear, and Ashton, who was busy and sweating profusely, finally

noticed her.

Jeff looked fearful and said in a deep voice, “Mrs. Mullen, please stop laughing, stop laughing.”

Deborah couldn’t stop, holding her stomach and continuing to laugh, “It’s so funny. Jeff, why aren’t you

laughing? Look at them, jumping around like a bunch of monkeys on stage, haha,”

Ashton was furious, and he approached Deborah with a few steps, staring at her with a cold voice,

“Shut up.”

Deborah pointed at him, laughing uncontrollably, “I brought the monkeys here.”

Ashton’s expression grew even uglier, and he covered her mouth with his hand. “I told you to shut up,

stop laughing!”

Meanwhile, at the end of the hallway, a passing figure quickly turned back.

Joseph felt a sense of familiarity when he caught a glimpse of the person. When he turned back, he

realized that they were his old acquaintances.

He chuckled and said, “Shawn, there’s a circus performance at the hospital today. What a coincidence

that I came!”

The Unknown fore

delighted to see Ashtoni

Aiment. He had an appointment with a therapist scheduled for today hot he no longer

Teh in a hash to go

He pulled over a chan, crossed hes long legs, and leaned back to enjoy the show

From where he was sitting he had a great view of Ashton’s face and Deboratrs back

he looked forward a bit, he could even see Kinsley throwing a tantrum and Devon looking sad it was

like having a VIP seat

Shawn, the butter, didn’t want to cause any trouble and tried to persuade Joseph, Mr Mullen, your

doctor is still waiting for you. You shouldn’t get involved in these family matters.”

But Joseph was completely absorbed in what he was watching and didn’t pay any attention to Shawn’s

words

Seeing this, Shawn turned to Ben Evans, who had come along with them

Ben Evans was also amused and immediately took out his phone, saying, “It’s no problem. Il send a

message to his therapist and reschedule the appointment for an hour later.”

Shawn was speechless.

Meanwhile, not far away, Kinsley had gotten up from her tantrum and was running towards Deborah,

shouting.

“You wicked woman! You caused Helen’s death and now you dare to come here! I’ll kill you now, even

if it means risking my own life!”

She reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a fruit knife, holding it up and advancing towards

Deborah

Just as the knife was about to stab Deborah, Ashton stepped forward and stopped Kinsley, saying,

“Mrs. Bauer, please calm down. Helen’s fall was an accident. It was my fault, not Deborah’s ”

Kinsley’s fury escalated as she exclaimed, ‘Ashton, what are you even saying?! Deborah sent me All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

photos as evidence, and she even confessed to it!

“Helen couldn’t have accidentally fallen from the hospital rooftop. It’s not like tripping on the sidewalk or

falling from a low building Falling from the fifth floor rooftop couldn’t have been a mere accident!”

Ashton stood in front of Deborah, his cold gaze turning to Devon. I made it clear that Deborah didn’t

push Helen off the rooftop. I’ll give you both an explanation.”

Kinsley cried out sharply, “Ashton, you’ve disappointed me so much! Helen poured her heart and soul

out to you for so many years. If it weren’t for my daughter turning out like this, I wouldn’t be causing a

scene like this!

“But you know best what two legs meant to Helen. This time, I won’t let it go. I want to see the

surveillance footage from the day of the incident at the hospital. No one can protect Deborah and hide

her crime!”

In front of the crowd’s gaze, Ashton’s expression became ugly.

Jeff stepped forward to explain, “At the time, Mrs. Mullen did indeed bring Ms. Bauer to the rooftop. But

later, Mr. Mullen arrived and pulled Mrs. Mullen away.

“Later, Ms. Bauer lost control and cried, saying she was sorry to Mrs. Mullen, that she had hurt Alyssa,

and then she jumped off the rooftop herself.”

Kinsley screamed, “That’s impossible. Unless I see the surveillance footage with my own eyes and see

the entire process!”

Jeff called the hospital director over, who spoke kindly, Mrs. Bauer, the situation on that day was indeed

like that. I went to the

rooftop at the ind witnessed the entire process.

“But because it was evening and the weather was bad, there was only one surveillance camera on the

rooftop, and it didn’t capture the location of the incident. The other camera was already broken and

wasn’t repaired in time.”

Kinsley looked unhinged as she exclaimed, “I won’t believe it. You’re all helping Ashton lie to me! My

daughter has been harmed like
