After a moment of hesitation, my grandfather finally revealed the truth.
“Stephen poisoned me and then called Ronald to save me. I couldn’t understand why he would do such a thing. But when I heard from Ronald that you were critically ill on the same day, it all clicked. He wasn’t just trying to kill me; he wanted you dead too. What kind of deep–seated hatred does he have to want to wipe out our entire family?”
Clenching my fists, I thought about the significant numbers sitting in my bank account.
“He wants to inherit our family’s wealth.”
My grandfather’s face turned pale with shock. “Greedy bastard! He’s already been given so much, and he’s still not satisfied!”
My grandfather had built his fortune from the ground up, becoming a self–made mogul. After my parents‘ tragic accident, I became the sole heir, the third generation to inherit the family’s wealth.
If Stephen managed to destroy us, he’d inherit everything and live a carefree life of luxury. At that point, he wouldn’t even care about his job at the hospital.
No wonder he treated his work so carelessly–he’d been planning this for a long time.
I clenched my fists tightly, seething with hatred.
“Grandpa, did you find any evidence of Stephen poisoning you?”
My grandfather nodded. “Ronald used his medical expertise to help the police uncover the evidence. Now
we’re just waiting for the test results. Once they’re out, that scum will be
behind bars.”
I exhaled in relief. “That’s the punishment he deserves!”
A few days later, Stephen faced a flood of complaints from patients, accusing him of moral corruption.
It turned out he had not only accepted bribes and bullied vulnerable patients but had even physically abused them. The most shocking revelation was that he had assaulted female patients.
With such a disgraceful track record, Stephen was not only fired from the hospital but also arrested and sent to prison.
A few days after that, the evidence for his attempted murder of my grandfather was finalized. Charged with multiple crimes, Stephen was sentenced to life in prison.
Compared to the suffering I endured in my past life, this felt like too light a punishment.
Fortunately, justice seemed to have its way in the end. Both Stephen and Lily contracted terrible illnesses, and in the end, they died in agony, consumed by the pain.
