Chapter 152: The Truth Unveiled

(Elena Blackwood’s POV)

William Parker walked to the bedside and was about to sit down when he suddenly froze. His entire body

went rigid as if struck by lightning.

After a long moment, he slowly sat on the edge of the bed with his back to me, remaining completely silent.

The silence stretched between us like a heavy curtain.

I approached him directly, my heart pounding with anticipation. “William, I need to ask you about the 322

child k********g case.”

His shoulders tensed visibly at my words.

“Did you see the two werewolf pups who escaped to your village?” I pressed on, my voice steady despite the

turmoil inside me.

I described what I remembered with painful clarity. “The girl was wearing a goose–yellow top with white

overalls.”

William remained silent for what felt like an eternity. Perhaps due to his daughter’s current situation, his

conscience was finally being tormented by guilt and unease.

He finally looked up at me, his eyes filled with anguish. “I should have guessed that girl was you.”

The admission hit me like a physical blow. My breath caught in my throat.

I took a deep breath, steadying myself for what I needed to know. “Were you the person I sought help from

before losing consciousness?”

William’s face crumpled with remorse. “Yes, it was me.”

He began apologizing with deep, overwhelming guilt. “I’m so sorry. Our family was in such dire financial

straits back then.”

His voice broke as he continued. “The temptation of that money was too great for us to resist.”

William wiped away tears with his scarred hands. “I agreed to let Sandy impersonate Marcus Blackwood’s

savior.”

“I thought once we got the money, we could escape poverty,” he confessed. “Buy a big house in the city and

live a peaceful life.”
