Chapter 510: Don’t Want Any Compensation

Chapter 510: Don’t Want Any Compensation

Sarah immediately appeared horrified as she took two steps back. “You… what are you trying to do?”

Jordan grinned. “We just need to ask you a few questions. Why are you so scared?”

“I-I don’t know anything. Don’t ask me!” Sarah said right away.

“Haha.” Jordan chuckled. “We haven’t asked you anything yet, but you’re already saying that you don’t know. In that case, I guess you must know what we want to ask about, right?”

Sarah was just an ordinary housewife. Hearing what he said, she instantly panicked and was at a complete loss for words. She could only pinch her fingers.

But Jordan and Lucas didn’t urge her any further and instead just looked at her quietly.

The atmosphere became rather tense all of a sudden.

The middle-aged woman couldn’t stand it any longer either. She could tell that Jordan and Lucas really seemed to have no evil intentions and merely wanted to ask Sarah some questions.

“Sarah, they just want to ask you a few questions, or else they wouldn’t have come all the way here. Just tell them what you know,” she said.

Sarah stayed silent for a long time before finally lowering her head.

Since they had found her within such a short time even though she had moved to such a shabby place, she figured that she wouldn’t be able to escape even if she tried to.

Moreover, she also roughly guessed what they wanted to ask her about, for she knew that this day would come sooner or later.

After a long time, she said quietly, “Okay, since you want to know, come inside. I’ll tell you everything.”

Then she walked toward the door of the house. Jordan, who had been stopping her at the door, moved aside and let her in before following Lucas in.

The middle-aged woman sighed and didn’t follow them. Instead, she stood outside.

The house was small, gloomy, and narrow, with only a tiny room that doubled as a living room and bedroom. The little girl who had just run in from outside was sitting on a stool against the wall.

Seeing these two strangers, she subconsciously huddled up, revealing only half of her pale little face.

Lucas’s heart softened when he looked at her.

Sarah said softly to the terrified little girl, “Chloe, don’t be afraid. These two men aren’t bad guys.”

The little girl was a lot more relieved, and she sat on the stool quietly. She was so obedient that it was heartbreaking.

After they all entered, Lucas cut straight to the chase. “Two days ago, your husband ran his car into my father-in-law before his fatal car accident. My father-in-law is now lying unconscious in the hospital, and the doctor said that he’s very likely to become a vegetable and never wake up again. I’d like to ask if you’re aware of this matter.”

Sarah immediately clenched her fists.

She was feeling extremely conflicted, and she eventually knelt on the ground.

“I… I don’t know how to explain this, but we… we really don’t have money to pay for your medical expenses. I’m sorry!”

She burst into tears uncontrollably, and large drops of tears rolled down her eyes and hit the floor.

Seeing her mother kneeling on the ground, the little girl next to her began to bawl loudly. She was terrified as she stumbled over to hug her mother.

“Mommy, Mommy…” The little girl didn’t know what was going on, so she simply hugged Sarah’s legs tightly in panic and burst into tears.

Sarah pulled the thin and feeble girl into her arms as tears streamed down incessantly.

“I really don’t know how to apologize to you, but my daughter has cancer, and we can’t afford such expensive medical expenses. Chloe’s condition is getting worse and worse. We really have no way out!

“Just a few days ago, someone found my husband and instructed him to run over someone for fifty thousand dollars. We were very reluctant at first, but we really had no other way. Chloe’s treatment can no longer be delayed, and we really can’t bear to see our obedient and sensible daughter passing away just like that…

“But this is murder after all. I persuaded my husband not to do it, but he also had serious lung cancer. His cancer cells had metastasized and spread. He said that since he couldn’t live for long anyway, he might as well use his life in return for Chloe’s medical expenses!

“So… so my husband accepted the offer. I-I’m really sorry for what happened to your father-in-law! But we really don’t have any more money to compensate you. The fifty thousand is for saving Chloe’s life. I beg you not to take it away… I… I know that we’ve let you down, and if possible, I can give you my life to compensate for it. I just hope you can let Chloe live!”

Sarah’s miserable crying was heartbreaking.

In particular, she said at the end that she was willing to compensate with her own life in hopes that her daughter could be saved. This was really heartbreaking and admirable.

From Sarah’s words, Lucas finally determined that William’s car accident was not an accident but a premeditated act.

Moreover, he also learned that the reason Craig had tried to kill someone in such a tragic way where he died was that he had been terminally ill and wouldn’t live long. So he wanted to use his own life in exchange for money that could sustain his daughter’s life.

He had just seen outside that the five or six-year-old girl in front of him was indeed extremely thin and weak, clearly very unwell.

Looking at their clothes and the environment they lived in, Lucas could see that they were indeed living on a very tight budget. For an ordinary family, a seriously ill person could destroy the entire family, let alone this poor family where two people were seriously ill at the same time.

In that case, it seemed understandable that they decided to use this way in exchange for money in a desperate attempt for their daughter’s treatment.

Lucas’s mood became extremely complicated at this moment.

He had come to investigate the reason behind William’s car accident. Craig had hit William with his car and made him almost a vegetable. From now on, he would probably be lying in bed for the rest of his life, never to wake up again.

His wife, Cheyenne, was very sad that her father had suddenly suffered such misfortune.

So after learning that Craig had deliberately tried to run over William because he had accepted money from someone who had instigated him to do so, Lucas should have hated such people who lost their bottom line for money.

But he couldn’t develop any hatred when he looked at the weeping woman and the sick and vulnerable little girl. Instead, he felt really upset.

Although Craig was the culprit who had injured William, Lucas still had to admit that Craig was indeed a good father who deserved respect.

But this didn’t completely absolve him of his sins.

Craig had long since died in the car accident that day, and Lucas could no longer hold him responsible. But he wouldn’t put this responsibility and sins on the poor orphan and widowed mother in front of him.

The one he should hold responsible was the one who had paid Craig 50 thousand dollars and instigated him to kill!

This person was the true culprit behind this plot, and Lucas swore that he would find out their identity.

He looked at the mother and daughter who were hugging and bawling in front of him and sighed. “Ma’am, please get up. I’m not here to ask you for compensation, and I can also help with your daughter’s medical expenses.”

Sarah suddenly raised her head in shock, unable to believe what she just heard! “What… what did you just say?”
