Karen finally couldn’t help but interrupt Cheyenne. “Cheyenne, don’t say anything. Your father won’t wake up so soon. We’d better wait for some time. Hurry up and go home to get some rest!”

Cheyenne shook her head. “Mom, I’m just sitting here and chatting with Dad. I’m not tired. You should be much more tired than us since you’ve been staying in the hospital for the past few days! Let me stay by Dad’s side tonight. Go home and get some rest!”

Karen immediately shook her head. “No, I’m not tired at all. I just help your father wipe his body and call the nurse. I’m not of much help. Unlike you two, I don’t have to go to work in the day and come to the hospital at night to talk to your father. It’s more tiring for you guys. Look at you. You’ve lost so much weight in the past two days.”

She touched Cheyenne’s face and seemed really heartbroken.

Cheyenne immediately felt touched. “Mom, it’s been hard on you too!”

She said sincerely, “Once Dad’s situation stabilizes, I’ll speak to Lucas. You can move back in with us. Before Dad comes to, he might have to remain hospitalized. You can’t stay outside alone for the long term, so you’d better move in with us.”

Karen was instantly overjoyed. “Are you serious?”

The reason she wanted to kill William was precisely to find a chance to move back to the villa and live like the wealthy.

Cheyenne nodded seriously. “Of course I’m serious. But Mom, Lucas isn’t like what you think. He’s actually very nice. When we live together later, can you be nicer to him and not target him anymore? After all, the villa belongs to him, and if your relationship is strained, it won’t be good for anyone.”

Karen immediately shook her head but then nodded vigorously. “Definitely. Actually, I’ve figured out a lot of things during this period of time. Since you are already married and also have Amelia, I won’t be mean to him anymore on your account. Rest assured!”

It’s just a verbal promise anyway. Not a big deal.

Once I go back to the villa, I will make sure it gets transferred to Cheyenne. No, I’ll transfer it to my name and then kick Lucas Gray out!

Cheyenne naturally didn’t know these dark thoughts in Karen’s mind, and she still thought that her mother had really repented.

When the sky turned dark, Karen started to urge Cheyenne to hurry home. “Cheyenne, it’s late. It’s not safe for you to go home alone too late at night. You’d better head home soon. Just leave your father to me.”

She was thinking about how to kill William without anyone else finding out. But with Cheyenne here, she couldn’t find any opportunity at all.

But after hearing what she said, Cheyenne insisted, “I’ll stay by Dad’s side tonight. Mom, go back and get some rest!”

The ward William was in was considered the best VIP ward in Orange County. But there was only one other bed inside for visitors, so normally only one person could stay the night.

“That won’t do. I’ll be alone even if I go home. It’s better if I stay here with your father. At least I’ll have peace of mind,” Karen said.

Cheyenne hesitated for a moment but nevertheless said, “How about you move back to the villa tonight? Charlotte is tied up with work and doesn’t have time to come over now, but she’ll be at home at night.”

During normal times, Karen would have immediately agreed to Cheyenne’s offer of letting her return to the luxurious villa.

But she couldn’t do so today because she had yet to get rid of William, who could wake up at any time. How could she give up such a rare opportunity?

Who knew when the medical expert Lucas invited would come? She had barely any time left.

In the end, neither of them convinced the other, and so they had no choice but to stay together for the night.

One of them had to sleep on a sofa on the other end of the ward.

It was soon late at night.

Karen naturally slept on the visitor’s bed, which was closer to William, while Cheyenne slept on the sofa, which was further away.

Because Cheyenne had been busy in the company all day and had spoken a lot with William at night, she was already exhausted and quickly dozed off.

Laying on the bed, Karen quietly listened for any movement from Cheyenne. After a long time, she tried to test the waters by calling out to her and found that there was no response. Only then did she confirm that Cheyenne was already asleep.

She quietly sat up from the bed and looked at William lying on the bed not far away. A twisted and maniacal joy mixed with murderous intent filled her eyes.

It was finally her chance to kill William!

She stood quietly in front of her husband, whom she had lived together with for decades, without any emotion or feelings of attachment in her heart.

She hadn’t married William because she loved him. After they got married, William not only failed to provide her with the luxurious life that she had imagined, but he was even a good-for-nothing, which made her feel ashamed all the time.

Even when she finally managed to live the life of her dreams in the luxurious villa thanks to Cheyenne, William had ruined it for her again.

She hated him!

During these two days in the hospital, Karen genuinely felt irritated.

She had no good feeling for William at all, let alone feel any desire to take care of him and help wipe him down.

But in order to pretend to be a qualified wife and mother in front of Cheyenne and Charlotte, she could only pinch her nose and bear with it.

Moreover, ever since Lucas said those words in front of her, Karen’s heart was overwhelmed with panic and fear, afraid that William would suddenly wake up and reveal everything she had done!

So she had been on tenterhooks for the entire day, and time seemed to crawl by for her.

Now, she finally had a chance to kill him!

Karen slowly stretched out her hand, which was trembling, perhaps out of excitement or fear.

There were two thoughts running through her mind simultaneously. She had never killed anyone before, and she was so nervous and terrified that she almost wanted to give up. But if she didn’t do it now, she would be ruined for the rest of her life once William woke up!

She eventually reached out her trembling hand and pinched the oxygen tube.

With one hard pull, it wouldn’t be long before William would be dead!

“Go to hell!” Karen clenched her jaw as her heart thumped rapidly. Finally, she gave the oxygen tube a hard tug!

“What are you doing!?!”

Before Karen could even smile, an angry roar full of astonishment came from behind her..
