Chapter 431 The Truth Revealed
The boy's words became the hope of Ophelia.
His description just now was very much in line with Dovie's situation.
The boy was frightened by Ophelia and dared not speak. The woman stood in front of the boy, looking alertly at Ophelia. "My son doesn’t know what he is talking about. He often talks nonsense."
After saying that, the woman wanted to take the boy away to avoid more trouble related to the dead.
"Wait." Ophelia grabbed the boy and said to the woman, "I just want to ask a few questions. This is your son, right? I want to know what your son saw and when he saw it. Don’t worry, it won't involve you. I’ll pay for the ask questions.”
Money could solve all problems.
When the woman heard about the reward, greed welled up in her eyes, and she said, "How much would you like to pay? Let's make it clear first. My son is young so you’d better not pay much attention to what he says. Don’t get my son involved in your issue."
Although the woman was serious, she still loved her son.
Ophelia asked, "How much do you want?"
The woman looked Ophelia up and down, seeing her dressed plainly and pregnant. She did not ask for too much. "Ten thousand dollars!"
"Okay," Ophelia eagerly said, "I'll give it to you now. Let's find a place to sit down. I’ll ask the questions."
The woman was straightforward. She wanted to earn that money, so she agreed.
Ophelia and Tate, together with the woman and the boy, went to a beverage shop next to the hospital.
Ophelia transferred ten thousand dollars to the woman through PayPal. When the woman received the money, she smiled. Ahe said to Olivia, "You can ask my son whatever you want. Son, tell this lady what you saw. "
The boy nodded. "Okay, Mom."
Olivia looked at the boy. "Yes, just say what you saw. I'll show you two photos. And I’d like you to identify them."
Olivia showed the boy photos of Natalie and Dovie. Fortunately, although the boy was timid, he had a good memory. He remembered the faces of Natalie and Dovie.
Seeing the photos, the boy nodded and pointed. "It's the people in the photos. This lady was sick in bed, and this one was standing by the bed at the time. I heard them arguing."
The boy saw Natalie killed Dovie.
At that time, the boy and his mother were visiting some relative in hospital. When got bored and wandered around, he heard voices coming from the intensive care unit. He curiously leaned against the window to look.
The boy saw Natalie adjusting the IV tube, and later, Dovie couldn't make it. Dovie was weak and sick, so she couldn't stop Natalie.
The boy was very scared, so he ran away.
At that moment, there was a blind spot in the corridor's surveillance, and the video did not capture the boy leaning against the window.
The boy told his mother, but she didn't believe him. Thinking her son was talking nonsense, she told him not to say that again.
Today at the hospital, Ophelia happened to overhear the boy's words.
Everything seemed destined.
Ophelia discovered the truth and felt a mix of anger and heartbreak. Tears welled up in her eyes as sadness overtook her.
"Ophelia." Tate handed her a tissue to comfort her. "Take care."
Ophelia was deeply upset, struggling to accept the reality that her mother was killed by Natalie.
It was only then that the woman beside her truly believed her son's words and the existence of such a tragic event.
The woman asked Ophelia, "Who was the one that died? This is a considered murder. Are you going to call the police? Will my son be involved?"
"The victim was my mom," Olivia sniffed and said, "Don't worry, your son won't be implicated. But I need your son to tell the police what he just said again. Please, help me find the murderer who killed my mom. She needs to be punished. I hope my mom could rest in peace. I won’t forget your kindness."
Seeing Olivia cry so sadly and sincerely, the woman agreed to let her son tell the truth to the police.
