Chapter 420

Charles's eyes widened in shock, disbelief washing over him like a tidal wave. How could it possibly be Dahlia?

The nurse's aide took a step back, visibly shaken by the icy aura that seemed to emanate from Charles. She had already spilled the beans about Dahlia, and there was no going back now. Her fear of Charles was palpable. Between Charles and Evelyn, Evelyn was the more approachable option.

"Ms. Evelyn, I'll tell you anything you want to know-just please, let me go," she pleaded, desperation lacing her voice. The last thing she wanted was to end up behind bars. "Please believe me, I never meant to harm Ms. Josephine. It was Dahlia who offered me so much money that I lost my senses and did something terrible."

"I have elderly parents and young kids to support. If anything happens to me, my family will fall apart. You have such a kind heart; you wouldn't let that happen, right?"

The aide's voice was earnest, her eyes pleading. When the plan was still under wraps, the money could have gone towards a down payment for her son's house, and she could have continued working as a nurse's aide. But now that the truth was out, she hoped to play on Evelyn's compassion to get off lightly. After all, her mother wasn't dead-just in a coma, with a chance of waking up someday.

Evelyn's gaze remained steely as she looked at the aide. Her pleas stirred no sympathy, only a sense of irony. Her compassion wasn't for people like this aide, who could put a price on someone's life.

Evelyn kept her thoughts to herself, her voice cold as she asked, "What exactly did Dahlia have you do?"
