Chapter 126 You Should Die Together with Your Daughter
After a long moment, Joshua said, "Continue."
The spacious interior of the car could no longer contain the overwhelming coldness. His voice sounded like a howl from an ice-covered mountain thousands of miles away, cold to the bone.
Samuel didn't know what inner strength allowed him to continue, "He... this man in front appears to be their leader. We didn't get a clear shot of his face, and we're still verifying his identity."
"This group has always been arrogant in their methods, leaving no room for error. We kept investigating but the trail went cold. What puzzles us is that they have no connection whatsoever with the Wilson family. This sudden attack on the Wilson family was very targeted and deliberate - more accurately, it was revenge on someone's behalf."
This was everything Samuel had found out, reported in full detail.
Joshua narrowed his eyes.
Revenge on someone's behalf!
"Keep investigating. Find this person for me."
Eight years ago, the Thomas family suffered their most devastating attack. Joshua was only twenty at the time and witnessed his fourteen-year-old brother Zach Thomas being killed.
That was a scene he could never forget for the rest of his life, a lifelong pain. He vowed to find the person who killed Zach and avenge him.
This incident was also the Thomas family's secret, and more than that, a forbidden topic.
Now that this person had appeared, Joshua would never let him go.
"Mr. Thomas, should we now?"
"Back to the office."
"But Mr. Thomas, you haven't rested for several days."
Even Superman couldn't handle this.
Joshua raised his hand and rubbed his throbbing temples, "I'm fine."
He carried the entire Thomas Group on his shoulders - rest was a luxury for him.
Samuel gritted his teeth. He couldn't disobey Joshua's orders and could only drive to the office.
......
Ava sat in the ICU and heard slight footsteps behind her. Thinking it was a doctor, she had just turned around when a vicious slap landed hard on her face without warning.
Ava staggered back two steps, her back hitting the corner of a table with a loud thud. A numbing pain spread through her entire body.
The pain made Ava's vision go black for a moment, then the crazed woman in front of her grabbed her by the collar.
"Ava, you're going to pay with your life for my mother." Mia screamed at Ava, "My mother is dead, my mother is dead. You sent people to kill my mother and burned down our house. You're so cruel, so cruel. I've already called the police. You're finished."
Ava's brow furrowed tightly, coldness instantly spreading through her body. Using the pain, she pushed Mia away.
Mia's eyes widened, filled with bloodshot veins, pointing at Ava relentlessly, "Bitch, you deserve to die, you deserve to die. You should die together with your dying daughter. No, no, that's not enough. Hahahaha Ava, you have to watch your daughter slowly die. That's the most painful thing hahahaha."
Ava ground her teeth, her icy gaze sweeping over Mia's nearly insane, grimacing face.
"All of Ava's evil deeds will be repaid on your daughter. Just wait hahahaha, your daughter will surely die this time."
Doctors from outside rushed in to restrain Mia.
"This is the ICU. Unauthorized personnel, please leave."
"Don't push me, I'm not finished yet. This bitch killed my mother and burned down my house. I'm going to stay here and watch, watch her daughter die bit by bit, watch her suffer just like me." Mia shouted despite being blocked.
"How can you speak so viciously? Please leave." Even the doctor couldn't stand it.
"I'm vicious? How am I as vicious as Ava? She hired people to kill my mother. My mother was shot five times and died. Why isn't her daughter..."
A crisp sound.
Mia only felt numbness on her left cheek, followed by waves of burning pain spreading out.
Her body jerked violently to the side, hitting the wall to find support so she wouldn't fall.
The doctor nearby was completely stunned.
Mia was also dazed for a long time.
At this moment, her right cheek had no feeling at all, and even her ear was ringing.
After a long moment, she raised her head, her face twisted to the extreme with anger.
Ava stood in place, her cool gaze without a trace of warmth.
"You dare hit me? Ava, you bitch, you actually dare hit me."
Mia covered her face, feeling like she was going crazy with rage. She never expected Ava would actually dare to hit her.
What right did Ava have to hit her?
She clenched her teeth hard and lunged at Ava like she had nothing to lose. Tonight she would definitely kill Ava.
Ava stood motionless, her gaze unbearably cold.
As Mia's hand was about to come down, Ava raised her hand, but another large hand seized Mia's hand first and flung it away.
A strong arm pulled Ava's slender body into an embrace, staring at Mia with eyes full of gloom.
Joshua's move wasn't gentle. Mia's body twisted a couple of times before falling directly to the ground, crying in pain.
Joshua's brows furrowed. The woman in his arms was trembling slightly.
"Are you okay?" he asked nervously.
Ava didn't speak, staring at Mia as if in a trance, her eyes full of anger.
At this moment, by the bright light overhead, Joshua clearly saw a distinct handprint on Ava's face.
Clear and glaring.
Joshua's hands clenched suddenly, his handsome face instantly clouding over.
"You rest, I'll handle this."
Ava pushed Joshua away, stepped forward and grabbed Mia by the hair, dragging her outside. The door closed, and Joshua hurried after them.
Ava grabbed Mia's hair and slammed her head against the wall, "Who gave you permission to curse my daughter? Hasn't she been hurt enough by you people?"
"Ava..."
"Why did your mother die? Who really hired those people? Who did she die for? Don't you know in your heart? She shouldn't have died, because the one who should die is you. She took your place."
Ava let go of Mia and kicked her in the stomach. Mia flew out and hit the wall hard.
Ava looked down at Mia like a demon.
Mia clutched her stomach, collapsed on the ground, screaming continuously.
People passing by were shocked at the scene.
Ava's lips trembled, trembling uncontrollably. Only she knew how much pain she was holding inside. Mia coming to cause trouble this time was like adding the final spark to a fuse about to burn out. Ava was instantly ignited.
She hurt others, but also left herself covered in wounds.
Joshua's heart tore with pain. He stepped forward quickly, his long arm reaching out to hold the trembling Ava tightly. Even through their clothes, he could feel Ava's violent trembling. His strong arms unconsciously tightened, and he said gently by her ear, "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry. Cleo will get better. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay with you, wait with you for Cleo to wake up."
Oscar ran over. Seeing Mia barely alive on the ground, his heart was instantly pierced with pain, and anger rose within him.
This was too much, simply too much.
"Mia, Mia." Oscar held Mia in his arms.
"Dad, it was that bitch Ava who killed Mom. She hired people to burn down our house. Dad... I hate her so much, I'm in so much pain!" Mia vomited a mouthful of blood, the bright red blood stinging Oscar's eyes.
"This is too much, you people are going too far. Katya was the one who did wrong. You sent people to stab her ten times, making her wish she was dead - wasn't that enough? You had to kill her too. What did we do wrong? What right do you have to send people to burn down my house? What right do you have to beat Mia like this now?" Oscar's voice trembled.
