Facing their confused gazes, I took out the recording I had secretly recorded and played it.
The conversation between my parents and Henry clearly proved that Rhea was the real culprit behind the deaths of those three minors.
While it wasn’t enough to form a complete chain of evidence, it was enough to make the people in front of me understand the truth.
By the time the ambulance arrived, I had passed out.
When I woke up in the hospital, I saw Henry sitting beside my bed, watching over me.
“You’re finally awake. You’ve been unconscious for a whole day and night. I was really worried.“,
Henry’s eyes were dark with exhaustion, clearly having stayed by my side the entire time.
“Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll go get it. The doctor said your body is very weak and needs proper nutrition. It’s my fault for not noticing sooner.”
I irritated turned my gaze away, speaking in a low voice, “No need. You can leave now.”
Henry froze, staring at me in shock, his eyes filled with hurt.
“I know it was wrong to deceive you, but at the time, things were urgent. Rhea couldn’t handle the stress, and I really had no other choice. Besides, those people didn’t do anything to you, right? They just wanted to know

the truth.”
Yeah, they didn’t do anything to me. That’s because I played the recording.
Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t even be lying in this hospital bed right now. Not many parents could calmly face the fact that their child was murdered.
But mine were an exception. They probably just wish I would die right
now.

“Jessica, please don’t be stubborn. Everyone’s fine now. Isn’t this the best way to resolve everything?”
Yes, letting the families of the victims know the truth was indeed the best solution. Too bad Henry still didn’t know what I had told them.
“Jessica, before you came out, I personally made several wedding plans. Take a look and see which one you like.”
When I didn’t say anything, Henry quickly pulled out his tablet and began showing me the wedding plans he had prepared.
Looking at the excited and hopeful expression on his face, I couldn’t figure out what was really going on in his mind.
If he cared about me, how could he keep pushing me into the abyss for
Rhea?
If he didn’t care about me, he could just marry Rhea right now. Why did he come in front of me and put on this act?
As I was pondering these thoughts, my parents suddenly barged in. Upon hearing Henry’s words, their expressions immediately darkened.
“Rhea is still lying in a hospital bed, and you’re only focused on your own

“Stop pretending. Those people didn’t do anything to you. You’re always so dramatic, not even half as understanding as Rhea.”
“Henry, with Jessica like this, there’s no need to insist on marrying her. All it’s going to do is ruin your life. I see how close you are to Rhea. Why don’t you just…”
But this time, before my parents could finish their words, Henry hurriedly interrupted them.
“Please stop. Once I’ve decided to marry Jessica, I won’t back out. Besides, this is something I promised her years ago.
“I’m marrying Jessica because I like her, that’s all.”
My parents‘ faces shifted from pale to red with anger, but seeing that Henry wasn’t budging, they reluctantly fell silent.
Before they left, they shot me a venomous glare, as if accusing me of stealing something from Rhea.
After they left, Henry gently took my hand in his.
