Chapter 199 When Righteousness and Morality Prevail

The woman lay on the stretcher, barely breathing. As she was wheeled past Angela, a strong smell of blood filled the air. The mole on her wrist hung down, giving Angela a sense of familiarity.

It’s her! The female driver Samuel killed last lifetime! Angela widened her eyes and glanced at the woman’s blood–stained face, but before she could get a better look, the woman was pushed into the emergency room. A group of doctors rushed in and out, frantic and busy.

Angela stepped aside and found a chair to sit down. Although she had had a second chance at life and learned medicine, she still felt uncomfortable when faced with someone soaked in blood. Moreover, she still harbored deep guilt toward that person.

In their previous life, Samuel drove under the influence, violated traffic rules, and hit that woman. Since there was no surveillance footage or eyewitnesses at the scene, her family wanted someone to take the blame. Angela, who was neglected by her parents, naturally became the best choice. It was one of the few instances of weak goodwill shown to her by her so–called family at the time.

“Angela, only you can help Samuel get through this.” Scarlet wiped her tears, holding Angela’s hand. “If Samuel goes behind bars, his whole life will be done for.”

But what about her life? Alas, nobody ever cared about her.

Angela kept a stern face, feeling somewhat unwilling.

James smoked, his brows furrowed, his face looking grim. “Angela, we’ll find the best lawyer to handle your case. It’s best if we can settle it privately, but if you end up going in… we won’t fail you. Still, don’t worry too much. I’ve got everything under control. Everything will be fine!” His tone carried a hint of assurance and coldness.

As reluctant as Angela was, for the sake of so–called family ties, she didn’t resist.

On the other hand, the main culprit, Samuel, behaved the most relaxed, lounging comfortably on the couch. “Angela, let’s say, worst–case scenario, if you end up inside, we’ll use money to smooth things over. We won’t let you get bullied in there. If you take this on for me, you’ll be my dearest sister henceforth.”
