Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 459

“Also, Old Mrs. Fowler has said that she’ll buy a bigger house for you. It’s pitiful that the four of you have to live in such a tiny house. Don’t you think so?” Yoel added.

Still sitting on the ground, Ruby tucked her hand in her pocket and touched the bank card given to her by Chris. Even though she didn’t know how much money the card contained, she believed the amount should be enough to get her through her emergency. However, what if she used up the money? Would she borrow from Chris again?

She and her husband had borrowed money from many people to pay for the medical fees, so they didn’t know when they could pay them back. In fact, both of them came from another city. Their initial plan was that they would work hard in this city for a few years and buy a house before changing the address on their identity cards so that they could settle down.

However, their first kid was born with cerebral palsy, and it was the same case for their second kid. Furthermore, their parents on both sides were old and ill.

“Think about it. If you don’t do this, your kids will keep suffering, and your husband will still be busy with his manual work. I heard that he’s suffering from backache, but he dares not even see a doctor. Don’t worry. If you’re willing to surrender yourself, you’ll have done a favor to the Fowler Family. We’ll find an easier job for your husband or give him a large amount of money for him to start his business. You also don’t have to worry about a new house and the medical fees. The fate of your family will change completely. Don’t you think it’s a good deal?”

“Will I be sentenced to death?” Ruby still couldn’t make up her mind.

Yoel nodded. “That’s possible, but we’ll do something to make sure you get a life sentence instead. If that’s the case, you just have to behave in prison, and you’ll still stand a chance to reunite with your family members again.”

Ruby was swayed upon hearing that. With her palm drenched in sweat, she clenched the bank card.

Seeing that, Yoel continued, “You know Polly, right? I’ve approached her because she needs money as well. His son wishes to study abroad, but she doesn’t have the money, so she’s thinking about it. If she agrees to it first, I will—”

“I’ll do it!” Ruby hurriedly yelled in agreement. “Mr. Wade, let me do it!”

...

It was an important day for Chris and Helen, so both of them woke up early in the morning. Due to the fact that John hadn’t been buried yet, Helen couldn’t put on any make-up or dress up. On the other hand, Chris wasn’t as cheerful as his mother. Walking around the corridor, he appeared to be lethargic.

“Have you heard that it was Ruby who killed Old Mr. Fowler?”

Chris was about to take a turn when he heard the housekeepers’ conversation. Hearing the name ‘Ruby’, he stopped in his tracks.

“No way! Why would she kill Old Mr. Fowler?”

“Mr. Wade said that Old Mr. Fowler sexually assaulted Ruby a few years ago, so she was resentful of him. That’s why when Old Mr. Fowler came down with illness, she decided to end his life. She has surrendered herself to the police!”

“No wonder I haven’t seen her today. She’s quite pitiful.”

“Why was she so foolish? Her kids still need her care. If she goes to jail, who is going to take care of them?”

Chris didn’t expect that the culprit was Ruby. However, he knew that Ruby was a kind-hearted woman, so there was no way she would do such a thing.
