RAD Chapter 72

In a hospital ward, Yu Jia tightly gripped his mother’s right hand, his pale face full of worry. He raised his eyes that had already reddened from crying and looked at Yu Xia: “Dad, when do you think Mom will wake up? I’m so scared, so scared that Mom will…”

Yu Xia stepped forward and hugged him, comforting him in a hoarse voice, “Son, it’s okay, didn’t the doctor just say so? Your mom, she’s fine. Don’t worry, don’t think too much about it.”

“Mm, mm.” Yu Jia nodded. Because his head was buried in Yu Xia’s arms, the slight smile on the corner of his mouth went unnoticed by anyone.

Because they had rushed to the hospital, they hadn’t prepare some of the necessary daily necessities for the hospital stay, and it was still about an hour or two before dinner time. Yu Xia decided that he would go back home first to get the things and also take care of dinner.

After informing Yu Jia, Yu Xia looked at his still unconscious wife and left the hospital. Since the room they were assigned only had one patient, which was them, there were no other patients in the three-person ward for the time being. So soon after Yu Xia closed the door, Yu Jia secretly ran to the window to confirm that his father had indeed left the hospital.

Then, he turned back to the bedside and softly said to his mother lying on the bed: “Mom, Dad has left the hospital and gone home, you can open your eyes now.”

It turned out that when Yu Jia held Han Ke’er’s right hand, he already knew the information his mother had given him. Sure enough, just after he finished speaking, the originally unconscious Han Ke’er directly opened her eyes. A gloomy look flashed through her eyes quickly. “Son, how’s that old woman doing?”

Yu Jia sat down on the bed, picked up a washed apple from the small table next to him, and took a few bites. “Mom, you don’t have to worry. Your son has stabbed her too! But Mom, why did you have to roll down the stairs? Couldn’t you have used another method? If you weren’t careful and really bump into something while rolling down the stairs, that would be fatal!”

Han Ke’er smiled, “Silly son, your mother cherishes her life very much, how could I let an accident like that happen? Don’t worry, I was very skillful when I rolled down, and I protected my head. In fact, the fall didn’t cause me much problem. I just pretended to be unconscious to highlight the seriousness of the matter.”

“Then how come the doctor didn’t discover that you were faking unconsciousness?” Yu Jia shrugged, then continued to take big bites of the apple. Although the apple didn’t look very good, the taste was still very sweet.

Han Ke’er gestured with her hand, and Yu Jia immediately understood. In this world, money can indeed make the impossible possible!

It turned out that Han Ke’er had secretly hidden some of her personal savings on her body, and at the right time, she used that money to take care of everything.

Meanwhile, back home, when Yu Xia saw his mother sitting in the living room, he simply ignored her and walked past. He didn’t even want to look at her and continued to search his room for the items he might need.

Seeing her son’s cold attitude towards her, Old Mrs Yu’s heart was filled with a complicated feelings. She darkened her gaze and tentatively spoke, “Son, I…”

“You don’t need to say anything.” Yu Xia packed up his things and held the luggage. He stood in front of Old Mrs. Yu with an expressionless face, “There’s no point in you trying to explain it. I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be not true?”

“Really, son, you believe me, all this was done by that bitch. It’s her framing me!” Old Mrs. Yu said unwillingly.

“Heh! Framing?” Yu Xia sneered, “You actually dare to say that word! I never thought your skin would be this thick! You should know that the person you call the ‘framer’ is still lying in the hospital and is in a coma!”

“No, that’s impossible!” Old Mrs. Yu shook her head in disbelief, “She must be faking it, this so-called coma is completely fake!”

“Alright, I don’t want to say much more to you.” Yu Xia impatiently interrupted her. “These past few days, I’ll be staying in the hospital to take care of the two of them. During this period, you should pack up your things and move to the old house to live.”

“What?” Old Mrs. Yu opened her eyes wide in surprise, “You’re telling me to go live in the old house? Yu Xia, do you still have a conscience? How could you make your mother go live there?”

“Isn’t this all your own doing?” Yu Xia snorted coldly and then left without looking back.

Old Mrs. Yu watched his retreating back and angrily swept all the things nearby onto the ground in a rage. Well, of course, an ungrateful wretch that I’ve raised. Hmph, what’s with making me live in the old house? This is basically a disguised way of kicking me out of the house! That old house hasn’t been lived in for over ten years, okay! Not to mention how dilapidated it is inside, just the outside walls are all crumbling!

Thinking that all this was caused by that Han Ke’er, Old Mrs. Yu wished she could rush to the hospital and strangle her to death on the spot! But no, first of all, it’s uncertain whether she could successfully strangle Han Ke’er, and just approaching her wouldn’t be easy. It seems this matter needs to be carefully planned.

A week later, with the accompaniment of Yu Xia and her son, Han Ke’er was finally discharged from the hospital and returned home. Seeing that Old Mrs. Yu was no longer present in the house, she couldn’t help but feel delighted in her heart. As for the two brothers Lu Cheng and Lu Tu who were still living here, Han Ke’er expressed that although they were not related by blood, just looking at the ferocious glint in Lu Cheng’s eyes was enough to know that this guy was no simple character! Adhering to the principle of “better to mistakenly kill ten thousand than to let one go,” she had already made a decision in her heart.

Just a day after Han Ke’er had settled in at home, she was called out of the house by a letter. When she arrived at the designated meeting place, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes. She didn’t expect that the person who showed up would be her!

That’s right, it was Old Mrs. Yu. It turned out that after finding the man, Old Mrs. Yu had successfully coerced him to write a letter asking Han Ke’er to meet at the embankment.

Han Ke’er looked around and saw that it was just the two of them here at the moment. Then she looked at the obvious hint of craziness on Old Mrs. Yu’s face, feeling a slight sense of foreboding in her heart. But she still stood upright and loudly asked, “Mom, what’s the matter with you?”

“What’s the matter?” Old Mrs. Yu gave a hideous smile, “Of course, I have a good matter to find you about!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she threw away the crutch in her hand and charged towards Han Ke’er with great force. Han Ke’er was caught off guard and stumbled a few steps backwards towards the river in her attempt to evade. Before she could even catch her breath and stabilize herself, a forceful shove sent her falling backwards into the river.

Of course, just as she was about to fall, she also didn’t intend to let Old Mrs. Yu off the hook. She reached out her hand to grab her and dragged her down into the river together.

Old Mrs. Yu was simply a fish out of water who couldn’t swim at all. Her first reaction after falling into the water was to struggle desperately. But Han Ke’er was different. She had been able to swim since she was little. Although her skills weren’t that great, she could at least swim.

The problem was that this girl who could swim was now being tightly held by Old Mrs. Yu, who couldn’t swim. How could the petite Han Ke’er possibly support the two of them? Especially when you consider that even though Old Mrs. Yu was over 50 years old, her big appetite had made her twice as heavy as Han Ke’er!

In fact, Old Mrs. Yu’s original plan was to push the bitch Han Ke’er into the water and let her drown. But she never expected that she would end up being dragged down as well. No way, she didn’t want to die together with this bitch!

Similarly, this was also Han Ke’er’s thought. She used all her strength to try to break free of Old Mrs. Yu. After all, if it was just her, her chances of survival would be much higher.

In the end, Han Ke’er took a deep breath and plunged into the water, dragging Old Mrs. Yu with her. The unprepared Old Mrs. Yu immediately swallowed several mouthfuls of water at once, and her breathing became difficult. She immediately released the tight grip she had on Han Ke’er and tried desperately to float back up to the surface to breathe. But how could Han Ke’er give her that chance? She hugged Old Mrs. Yu’s waist from behind and kicked her legs to swim deeper into the water.

Looking at the surface getting further and further away, the desperation in Old Mrs. Yu’s eyes became increasingly evident. Despite her fierce resistance, the continuous inflow of river water made her breathing more and more difficult, until she finally exhaled her last breath with resentment.

After seeing Old Mrs. Yu sink to the bottom of the river, Han Ke’er didn’t even glance at her again. She immediately turned around to swim back up. Her own breath was also running out.

After taking several deep breaths of fresh air, Han Ke’er looked around at her surroundings. The place where she had fallen was actually not far from the shore. But since the river banks were vertical walls on both sides, it would be very difficult for her to climb up unless someone pulled her up.

At this moment, someone suddenly appeared in her line of sight. Seeing the familiar face, Han Ke’er was just about to say something, when she saw some stones coming at her rapidly. After barely dodging them in panic and before she could catch her breath, more stones came raining down. With her vision turning crimson, Han Ke’er glared unwillingness as she slowly sank into the water, never understanding how she ended up dying like this.

Five days later, the bodies of Old Mrs. Yu and Han Ke’er were found floating on the surface of the river. This incident immediately sparked another round of gossiping in C Town. After the police investigated in all possible ways, they were still unable to identify a suspect. Helpless, they could only infer from the injuries on the bodies of two people: Han Ke’er had been beaten to death and then thrown into the river to cover up the crime. The murderer, Old Mrs. Yu, had unfortunately drowned while disposing of the body.

Yu Xia and Yu Jia could only accept this unfortunate news. And it was this news that caused Yu Xia’s condition to suddenly worsen due to excessive grief. He passed away in less than a month.

However, before his death, he entrusted his son to Lu Cheng. Because now he was the only one who could take care of his son.

Of course, this entrustment came at a certain cost. If Luo Xiao was here right now, he would realize that this was obviously the same thing his uncle had entrusted him with in his previous life! Just that this time the person his uncle entrusted with was Lu Cheng instead.

It’s unknown what the outcome of this entrustment will be this time around!
