“Matilda, stop messing around, you were really bleeding, your health is more important, let the doctor take a look first!”
At that moment, the medical staff hurriedly wheeled a stretcher over, lifted Matilda onto it, and rushed towards the emergency room.
Marvin and Caroline followed closely behind, pacing anxiously in the hallway.
After a long time, the doctor came out with a serious look on his face.
“The patient had placental abruption, it was very critical, had to be hospitalized immediately for remedy, otherwise not only the fetus couldn’t be saved, but also the adult would be in danger.”
Marvin clenched his fist, deep in thought.
“I went to see Roderick.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hospital.

When Marvin arrived at the private room, Roderick had been waiting for a long time.
“Mr. Turner was always late.”
As he spoke, he looked the other person up and down, with the hem of his clothes clearly stained with blood.
“The Turner Group’s stock price recently plummeted, looks like Mr. Turner is not feeling too good.”

Marvin shuddered all over, looking up and bumping into those deep, bottomless black eyes.
The other person leisurely took a sip of red wine.
“I heard Mr. Turner has a son who was studying in his senior year at an international private high school.”
Marvin’s pupils were shaking, and cold sweat was running down his spine.
He never expected that the secret he had hidden for over ten years would be uncovered by Roderick.
“What do you mean?”
“The building was about to collapse, so we had to find new pillars.”
“Instead of letting Matilda continue to drag down the Turner family, we should nurture a true heir who can handle things.”
Marvin clenched his fist, with a buzzing sound in his ears.
He was afraid of Caroline, so he kept the illegitimate child hidden.
The situation now, they mother and daughter can no longer rely on.
Roderick was right, he should have left himself and the Turner family a way out.
In a moment of concentration, Roderick casually spoke.
“Where’s the jade pendant?”
“The jade pendant was on Matilda’s hand.”
He suddenly looked up.

“She was at the city hospital, if you want it, come with me now to get it.”
The hospital.
When Roderick pushed open the door of the ward, Matilda was lying on the bed, her pale hands tightly gripping the jade pendant, with dried blood stains still clinging to the nail creases.
His gaze was instantly drawn to the jade pendant.
When he stepped forward, he caught sight of a fruit plate on the bedside table.
“Roderick, come over here…”
Matilda croaked.
Roderick stopped one meter away, not moving a muscle, just staring at her coldly.
“Auntie said a few words to me before she passed away. She told me to tell you after we get married.”
Roderick froze up, then he snapped out of it and took a hesitant step closer.
He stood by the sickbed, slightly bending down.
“What did she say?”
“Auntie said…”
A cold light suddenly appeared.
The fruit knife stabbed straight into Roderick’s chest.
Roderick froze, instinctively dodged to the side, the blade grazed his

ribs, leaving a deep blood mark that exposed the bone.
The security guard outside the door heard a strange noise, and immediately broke in.
Matilda was pushed down on the bed, her hysterical laughter sounding particularly piercing.
“Andrea’s mom forced your mom to death, but you still love her to death, Roderick, you’re really a great son to your mom!”
“Shut up!”
