My mystery lover

Chapter 269 The Death of Halbert

Amy was paused as she heard what Richard said. She thought Richard would be happy to know that.

Should he thank her for doing so?

But what she heard from Richard was totally different.

Seeing that Amy kept silent, Richard felt his heart was broken. She changed, and she became so

terrible. The simple and lovely Amy was gone, and what was left in this woman was calculations.

"It's fine. I'm not that easy to be beat down. If you want to play games, I'm in." Richard left harsh words

when he left.

Amy was totally dumbfounded. What was wrong with her helping him? Shouldn't she help him? This

man was heartless to her at the beginning, but she could not help helping him when he was in the most

crisis. But why did he say that to her?

Halbert did not wake up in the hospital, and Cathy cried every day, which made Richard feel sad.

Even though he left the harsh words that day, he still didn't bear to do it. He always thought Amy was

not the kind of person.

"Richard, when is your father going to wake up? What did he see?" Cathy looked at her husband and

her eyes were swollen from crying.

"I don't know, Mom. Don't be too upset. He'll soon wake up." Richard swallowed his grief and comforted

Cathy.

"Mom, do you believe Amy would change into a bad person?" Richard asked Cathy suddenly.

"I don't believe it. Amy is a wonderful girl. She is the kindest, smartest girl I have ever met." Cathy

shook her head. A few days ago, Amy was trying to persuade her to dissipate the misunderstanding

between her and Halbert. How could a nice girl like her would be bad?

"Well, mom, things aren't always what they seem, but you'd better be careful." Even his mother didn't

think Amy would be bad. But things were not that simple as they seemed to be.

"What do you mean?" Cathy felt strange. He'd been acting so strangely lately.

"No matter what happens in the future, Mom, keep trusting Amy." Richard could tell much to Cathy yet.

Even though a lot of evidences were putting Amy at a disadvantage, he still believed her.

"Amy, shouldn't you go and see old Mr. Carter? I heard he was in poor conditions. You're the daughter-

in-law of the Carter family, so you should go visit him," Andy urged Amy.

Amy was about to go to see Halbert, Richard's remark spoiled her plan.

"Andy, you have no idea what Richard thinks of me. He knew that I bought off his inspectors. And he

knew that I went to Matt, but he said I was just trying to get back at him. What a bad man! I haven't

started my revenge yet." Amy stirred her coffee hard.

"That's different. You've got to do what you should do, and don't care what they do," Andy urged Amy to

go see Halbert.

Halbert was the chairman of the HD Group and Amy's father-in-law. Although Amy didn't want to return

to the Carter family, she couldn't change the fact that she was his daughter-in-law.

"Well, I'll go and see him, but you have to go with me. I'm afraid I'll get thrown out." Amy didn't have

faith in Richard. Since he could lie to her that year, she didn't know what he would do to her.

"All right." Andy looked at Amy with a smile. Just like when she was young, Amy liked to stick to him

and trusted him. This made Andy wonder whether he should be happy or be depressed. If Amy

wouldn't stick to him one day, he would felt uncomfortable.

Amy followed Andy to the hospital to see Halbert.

Richard was not in the hospital. He was busy with work every day and could only stay with Halbert

when he was free.

"Amy, there you are. Look at your dad. He's going to wake up." Cathy seemed to see hope as she saw

Amy.

"Mom, you must be tired these days. I was very busy recently and had no time to see dad." Amy held

Cathy's hand. Only her mother-in-law trusted her all the time.

"Come on, let's go and see your father. He might wake up at any minute." Cathy took Amy's hand and

they went into the ICU.

Halbert looked better now. Thanks to the drugs and his own desire to live, he had recovered quickly.

Cathy and Amy both looked at Halbert and Cathy told Amy about Halbert's illness. She didn't know

what made him so angry.

"Amy, try to call dad. Maybe he'll hear you and wake up earlier?" Cathy asked Amy to talk to Richard.

Amy sat next to Halbert and held his hand, which was warm. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Dad, Dad, it's Amy. I'm here to see you." Amy spoke.

Halbert didn't wake up, but his heart beat faster.

"See, I know your dad would be happy to see you here. His heart beats much faster. He will wake up

soon." Cathy watched with delight as Halbert's heart beat faster.

"Dad, wake up soon. We're all here waiting for you. Allen is waiting for you to pick him up from school.

He says he hasn't seen Grandpa for a long time and he misses you." Amy thought her words were

working, so she talked more.

Sure enough, Halbert's eyes opened slowly. His face was red and his bloodshot eyes stared her. He

raised his hand and pointed at Amy, trying to say something, but couldn't.

"Dad, Dad, what do you want to say? Take your time." The way Halbert looked at her was scary. It was

like he had seen an enemy.

Cathy was also scared. She didn't know what she was going to do at this time.

"You! Get out! Halbert glared at her and uttered the last words of his life. Just in time, Richard was in

the doorway.
