Chapter 484 She Almost Became a Murderer

When his own daughter said this, William was slightly taken aback. He wanted to nod, but there was a hint of worry in his expression. However, seeing Hermosa's hopeful face, he still nodded.

Seeing William nod, Hermosa actually grinned happily, pulling William to walk towards the outside.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but speak up, "Brother... could you do me a favor first?"

William nodded, saying, "Okay, what's up?"

pointed to the staircase next to the hospital and said, "I left something over there, but it seems to lead to the basement, which I heard is the morgue. I'm a bit scared, could you accompany me to look for it?" "Auntie," Hermosa suddenly spoke, looking at me, "My parents and I have to leave first, you can ask Uncle to help you search."

"Hermosa!" Emma began, frowning at her, "Who taught you to talk to your elders like that? Apologize to your little aunt."

William was also looking at her, with a pleasant expression, he said, "Baby, daddy knows you want to play chess with me, but there's not rush, understand?"

Hermosa bit her lip, her face full of defiance. I thought, I probably guessed right.

Thinking of this, I abruptly turned around and walked quickly towards the basement. William, thinking it was an emergency, followed me. Hermosa, anxious, followed him, shouting, "Daddy, don't go."

Thus, Emma also came along.

The corridor on the basement floor was still chillingly eerie, but this time, thankfully, William and his family of three came along, so I wasn't as scared. I began to search along the lengthy corridor, having no idea where the morgue was, nor which sealed room Rachel was in.

Searching aimlessly like this was nothing but a waste of time. With this thought, I turned back to look at Hermosa. She was pursing her lips, her expression a mix of panic and resentment.

I knew, she knew what I was thinking.

Seeing me searching around like a headless fly for so long and then suddenly stopping, both William and Emma looked at me, curiously asking, "Tabatha, did you lose something?" Clearly, the two of them also realized that I hadn't actually lost anything at all.

Looking into Hermosa's eyes. I pursed my lips, but in the end, I didn't ask her. I just stopped talking and stood quietly in place.

Suddenly, it became quiet, a faint sound echoed again, "Bang..."

Upon hearing the noise, I abruptly turned towards the iron gate not far away. William and Emma initially froze, then seemed to realize something, and walked with me to the source of the sound. The door was jammed open, it could be opened from the outside, but the person inside really couldn't do anything.

Opening the door, a wave of icy cold air hit us, causing us all to shiver involuntarily. Seeing Rachel, who was lying on the ground, already frozen blue, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She no longer had the strength to speak, to William's surprise, he

picked her up in his arms and quickly went to find a doctor.

The temperature in the morgue was extremely low. Rachel probably hadn't been in there for long, so there was no immediate threat to her life.

Closing the door to the morgue, Emma and I stood in the hallway. She seemed to still be in shock from the unexpected discovery of Rachel, staring blankly at the retreating figure of William, who was carrying Rachel away.

As a woman myself, I naturally knew what she was feeling at that

moment.

With a slight sigh, I opened my mouth and said, "Let's go!"

Arriving at the first floor of the hospital, Emma suddenly stopped, turning her gaze towards Hermosa who was following behind.

The little one shivered in fright as she looked at him, opening his mouth to say, "Mommy...

Emma's face was cold, her voice heavy as she said, "Do you want to tell her yourself, or wait until she wakes up?"

The "she" Emma referred to, of course, was Rachel.

Hermosa looked at her with a blank expression on her face, asking, "Mom, what do you want me to say?"

"Slap!" Almost in an instant, when Emma slapped me, I was still stunned. It was only when I heard the sound that I was shocked enough to quickly grab her, '
