Chapter 453 She’ll just call someone over immediately
“Who the hell are you people and how did Angela’s pendant end up in your possession?” Luna looked at them with a pale face and alert eyes.
The carer hastened to explain, as Roland had said, “Mrs. Angela, don’t misunderstand, we are not bad people.”
Her comment didn’t make Luna let her guard down.
Thinking that it was at Mr. Lawson’s funeral that Angela had been taken straight away, she was a little more alert. As soon as the two opposite made the slightest suspicious move, she immediately called for someone to come over!
“Miss. Angela, we really aren’t bad people.” The carer didn’t dare to move, just in case Luna misunderstood her, “After hearing about Miss. Angela, Miss. Randi just wanted to go to the scene to have a look, and she found this jade pendant.”
Luna is still not convinced. News and Events
So many of them, and the police included, tried to find out if Angela had left anything behind and couldn’t find anything. As a result, this Miss. Randi went and found Angela’s jade pendant?
“What makes Miss. Randi want to visit the scene when she’s so badly injured?” Luna asked.
Her reaction was exactly the same as what Roland had told the carer.
The nurse sighed in her heart that Roland had been right and said, “It’s a little tricky to explain: Miss Randi only had some problems with her leg when she received Miss Angela’s sponsorship, and she was poured with acid at the site of Miss Angela’s accident.”
Luna didn’t make a sound, waiting for her to go on.
“By then the police had pulled out and hadn’t found out that Jessica had done the deed, and then Miss. Randi wanted to go to the scene and thought she might be able to find a clue.”
“It turned out that the clues didn’t turn up and Miss. Randi found a jade pendant. She was studying the pendant and considering handing it over to the police when suddenly a man rushed out and told Miss. Randi to hand over the pendant, she didn’t and the man attacked her with acid.” The carer said.
This litany of excuses was all Angela’s idea.
James and his sister-in-law and brother are very wary and it is difficult for her, a ‘stranger’, to approach them. But James is so dishevelled now, she can’t get close to him even if she doesn’t.
All things considered, she fictionalised her current role: the person receiving her help, Randi.
As long as her sister-in-law and the others believed her, then she was both someone Angela had sponsored and someone who was implicated by Angela.
And she was still injured trying to keep the relic jade pendant. She wasn’t sure how James would react when the time came, but her sister-in-law’s brother and the others would surely feel a certain amount of guilt towards her.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
It would not be so difficult for her to get close to her sister-in-law and the others again.
But even after all that the caregiver said, Luna still wasn’t very convinced, “The accident site is so open, it’s hard to hide a person. miss. randi, when you went to the scene, didn’t you notice that there were other people around? And …… didn’t seem to know you were going to be there, would they have waited for you with the acid?”
“This …… this ……” the caregiver was a little anxious, “Mrs. Angela, if the way we got this jade locket was unseen, then we wouldn’t have come to you!”
Roland told her that if Mrs. Angela was suspicious and really didn’t know how to explain, to say so.
Hearing this, Luna froze.
That’s true.
Still, she felt something was wrong with these two, “Thank you for returning this jade pendant to me.”
Never mention taking them to see James.
The carer didn’t force the issue, and after looking at Angela, said, “It’s good to have things back, it’s Miss. Randi’s face ……”
She didn’t go on, lest Luna think she was taking credit for Angela, “We’ve been out for a short time, it’s time to go back. I’m sorry we couldn’t meet Mr. James, please ask Mrs. Angela to give the jade locket to Mr. James with the letter, we’ll leave now.”
This is what Roland explained: if Mrs. Angela would not take them to Mr. James, then they would leave and only need Mrs. Angela to bring the jade pendant and the letter to Mr. James.
“…… good.” Luna felt it was a bit inhumane to just let them go, but the purpose of their visit was so suspicious that it was better not to take them to see Mr. James.
Without further ado, the nurse nodded at her before pushing Angela out the door.
Luna watched them leave before taking the jade pendant and letter to James, “He ……”
“Where did this come from?” Before she could finish her sentence, James interrupted. He took a few steps forward and snatched the jade pendant from her hand, his hollow eyes glowing with a different kind of light.
Luna guessed he would be excited to see this, but it still startled her that he was so excited. She paused and held out the letter as well.
“It came from one of Angela’s former sponsors, Miss. Randi, who went to the scene looking for clues, but stumbled upon the jade pendant. In addition to the jade pendant, she brought over a letter.”
James took the letter and tried to open it, but he only got halfway through before closing it back up and just kept fondling the jade pendant in his hand.
It always feels like there is still Angela’s temperature on it.
–
After pushing Angela out, the carer tried to take her away immediately, but she refused, “I want to stay here for a while longer.”
“You’ve got burns all over your body, and it’s easy to get infected out here. And writing that letter, plus all this tossing and turning today, has split the wound, so it’s better to hurry back to the hospital.” The nurse said.
Angela shook her head, “Miss. Angela helped me and I want to stay here a little longer.”
After the funeral, James and his brother and sister-in-law will definitely be leaving, and when they do, maybe she can see them up close.
It had only been a few days since she had seen him, but she felt like a lifetime ago. Especially seeing James like this now, it was really …… hard on her heart.
But she can’t reveal that she’s not dead; that would not only bring about her own death, but she would also become a burden to James and her brother and sister-in-law again.
“Hey, if you ask me, you don’t owe that Miss. Angela any more either. She’s so rich, and helping you is just a handful, but you’ve had acid thrown in your face to protect her relics, disfiguring your face. Let’s just go back early.” Feeling that Angela knew how to repay her kindness, the caregiver took a liking to her.
Angela didn’t say anything, just shook her head.
When the nurse saw her insistence, she could not persuade her any further, but just said, “Actually, you should say what happened between you and Miss. Angela. I think if you say it, maybe Mrs. Angela will take us to see Mr. James.”
Mainly Miss. Randi is too sympathetic in her current state.
“My throat hurts, I can’t say much.” Angela made a random excuse; if she opened her mouth, her sister-in-law would be able to recognise her by then and things would be bad.
The nurse thought this was reasonable and said nothing more, except to move the blanket on her leg so that she would not catch cold.
Angela stared straight ahead at the funeral, but unfortunately there were too many people and she was too far away to see the people she wanted to see.
Instead, someone she didn’t want to see came into view out of the blue.
