Clarence rushed over to the hospital.

At the hospital, the doctor’s medical diagnosis soon revealed that Peony had suffered from a heart attack due to shock.

Moreover, Peony had a history of cardiovascular disease.

The stimulation as a result of the chaos had triggered the doctor to issue a notice of critical illness.

“Although the patient is still in a coma, she keeps mumbling about this, ‘The statue of Mother Mary was broken into pieces… If Mother Mary finds out, she would put the blame on me…'”

The doctor came out and cast a glance over the crowd. He asked, “What’s going on?

“What actually shocked the patient to this level, and also what’s with the shattered statue of Mother Mary?” 

The Murphy family locked gazes at each other.

“Which one of you would sign the medical disclaimer form?”

The doctor took the notice of critical illness and placed it before them. All of them were dumbfounded.

[Peony Wanda is critically ill. The patient stands a 70% chance of dying without operation.] 

Clarence felt remorseful and said, “Miranda, I-I’m sorry. I didn’t expect it to be like this…”

“Clarence, get lost!”

Miranda grabbed the notice of critical illness. Her beautiful eyes turned red. She turned her head around, and she yelled angrily at Clarence. 

Clarence stood in shock and said, “Miranda, I’m sorry…”

“Clarence, get out now! Darn you! Look at what you’ve done to Aunt Peony?! Why are you still staying here?! Get lost!” William cussed him fiercely.

His expression darkened, and the veins on his forehead were popping.

“William, do you not think you are accountable for this incident?

“If you hadn’t deliberately tripped me, how could this have happened?!” Clarence said coldly.

Peony’s second daughter, Melody Murphy, exploded with anger and chided him, “Clarence, why are you still shirking your responsibility even at this moment?! Are you even a real man?!”

“Indeed. If you hadn’t dropped the statue of Mother Mary, would Aunt Peony end up like this? You have to own up for the mistakes that you’ve committed!” William sneered.

“Father, can’t you do me justice?

“There is a surveillance camera at the living hall in the house. If you guys don’t trust me, you could take a look at it…” Clarence looked at Armstrong Murphy when he said this.

William scolded him furiously, “Clarence, are you sick in your head?!

“You even ask us to watch the surveillance cameras when Aunt Peony is in such a state, huh?!

“Which one weighs more between watching a surveillance camera and Aunt Peony’s life?!” William added.

Armstrong raised his head. His eyes were bloodshot, and he only spoke two words, “Get lost!”

Clarence finally understood.

At the end of the day, it was all his fault. 

Even if William was the one who tripped him, it was also his fault.

Clarence had the urge to laugh.

“Dear, do you think the same too? Obviously, a single look at the surveillance camera could prove my innocence,” said Clarence as looked at Miranda.

“What the hell is there to look at?! Does watching a surveillance camera still matter now?!

“Clarence, if anything happens to my mother, I would never forgive you for the rest of my life!” Miranda looked up. She stared at Clarence as if looking at an enemy.

Clarence felt his heart ache when he noticed her eyes were filled with coldness, estrangement, and disappointment.

“Miranda, don’t worry.” William showed his concern for her.

“Sob… sob… sob…”

Miranda immediately collapsed and broke into tears. She threw herself into William’s arms before the crowd and said, “My mother… The doctor has already issued the notice of critical illness… She has a cardiovascular blockage and needs to undergo an operation. What should I do now…?”

Clarence’s eyelids twitched when he saw his wife fall into another man’s arms.
