Chapter 457 Heather Is Dead!
Lawrence had his hand on the ventilator tube, ready to yank it out!
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the ward door!
Lawrence jumped and quickly turned his head, asking, "Who's there?"
No answer from outside!
Another knock echoed through the room!
"Damn it! Always like this," Lawrence muttered, standing up to open the door.
But no one was there!
He stuck his head out and saw a figure hurrying down the hallway towards the corner.
A bad feeling washed over Lawrence as he thought to himself, 'Did someone catch on to what he was about to do?'"No way, I gotta find out!"
Lawrence didn't waste any time, shut the ward door, and chased after the shadowy figure!
As soon as Lawrence left, someone else appeared from the other end of the hallway.
He looked around, making sure no one was around.
He quickly opened the door and slipped inside!
This guy was all covered up, wearing a mask, a baseball cap, and white gloves.
He walked over to the bedside.
He glanced at Heather and let out a disdainful snort.
Then, he reached for the ventilator tube, then directly yanked it out! The ventilator started blaring an alarm!
The man quickly turned off the ventilator's power!
He looked at Heather on the bed, who started frowning and twitching from the struggle to breathe!
Without the ventilator, she'd be dead in less than two minutes!
"Go to hell! Only with your death can the Johnson family rise again!" the masked man murmured coldly.
Just as he turned to leave, Heather's eyes suddenly fluttered open, and she weakly asked, "Who are you?"
The masked man whipped his head around, a hint of horror in his eyes.
He didn't expect Heather to wake up!
The worst part was, that Heather was shakily reaching for the nurse call button!
Seeing this, the masked man lunged forward!
He slapped Heather's hand away and hissed, "Don't move. Just die quietly!"
Heather gasped, her voice raspy, "Who are you? Why are you trying to kill me?"
The masked man replied coldly, "None of your business! Just go to hell!"
As he spoke, he slapped Heather's hand away again as she reached for the nurse call button!
But what the masked man didn't expect was Heather suddenly lifting her hand and grabbing his mask!
The mask's strap snapped, revealing the face underneath!
The moment she saw who it was, Heather's eyes widened in shock.
Her sallow cheeks twisted, and her weak voice turned sharp and shrill. "It's you! It's really you!"
The person she saw was none other than her favorite grandson, Andy!
After being exposed, Andy's face showed a flicker of panic, but then it turned sinister. "So what? You're gonna die sooner or later, so why not let me do it today?"
Heather's eyes filled with tears, and she couldn't believe it. "Why? Why are you doing this? Haven't I treated you well enough?"
For over twenty years, Heather had always favored Andy the most!
When it came to resources or benefits, Andy was always her first choice.
Even though Andy had messed up a lot recently, making her frustrated and leading to some punishments, it was all in hopes that he'd straighten up!
No matter what, she never thought of cutting him off or taking away his right to inherit the Johnson family!
So, she couldn't wrap her head around why Andy would want to harm her!
Andy squinted, his tone icy. "Why? How dare you ask me why? You always said you'd make me the primary heir, so you should've stepped down early and let me take charge!"
He snorted and continued, "You talk a big game, but I know you're obsessed with controlling the Johnson family. As long as you're alive, you won't hand it over! And now, with Lawrence, Sandra, Abigail, and the others all eyeing the top spot, if this drags on, things will only get worse for me! So you have to die!"
Heather's face turned pale with panic!
Struggling to breathe, she was inching closer to death!
She definitely didn't want to die, so she pleaded, "Andy! Please, don't do this. If you spare me, I'll make you the head of the Johnson family right now. I'll even write a statement!"
Andy squinted, thinking for a few seconds.
He suddenly had an idea and nodded. "Alright! I'll give you a chance!"
He pulled out a piece of white paper and a pen from his pocket and handed them to Heather.
At the same time, he reinserted the ventilator tube and turned the power back on!
Heather took a deep breath, regaining some strength.
Under Andy's watchful eye, she wrote the statement.
It was simple: [From this day forth, Andy is the head of the Johnson family, and no one shall oppose this statement.]
She signed her name at the bottom!
Heather asked, "Is this enough?"
Andy put away the statement, a sinister smile curling on his lips. "Of course!"
As soon as he said that, Andy suddenly sprang up. Before Heather could react, he yanked the ventilator tube out again and turned off the power!
Then, he grabbed the pillow beside him and quickly covered Heather's face.
Heather let out a painful groan, her body instinctively struggling!
She tried to grab Andy, but he slapped her hand away with one hand!
Being old and weak, she was no match for Andy!
At that moment, scenes flashed through Heather's mind!
All those years of supporting Andy, excluding Sarah!
All the insults and repeated persecutions of Sarah!
Especially the constant confrontations with Ryder, who was in a matrilocal marriage!
She had hoped to pave a wide road for Andy, but it turned out like this!
If only she had been a little kinder to Sarah from the start.
Her thoughts gradually became blurred, and her body started to lose control.
Over a minute later, Heather fell completely silent!
Andy was drenched in sweat!
He nervously swallowed and slowly removed the pillow, revealing Heather underneath!
Heather's eyes were wide open, her mouth agape, her expression twisted!
Heather was dead.
