Chapter 453: She Will Keep Hurting You

โ€œHe wants to know the exact cause of the female convictโ€™s death. Could you please inform him?โ€ said the prison warden.

Generally speaking, doctors maintain patient confidentiality. Hence, the warden obscured the truth, stating that Malcolm was Janessaโ€™s relative. This would encourage the doctor to disclose the information.

Sure enough, upon hearing Malcolm was a relative, the doctor nodded. โ€œThe cause of death was sudden cardiac arrest,โ€ he stated.

โ€œIs it really that simple?โ€ Malcolm was puzzled. โ€œDid you check for pre-existing conditions, how the illness was triggered, or if it was due to improper diet?โ€

โ€œI think so!โ€ the warden exclaimed. โ€œI recall the day she died; she seemed to have eaten some stale bread.โ€

Malcolm furrowed his brow. โ€œTake me to see it.โ€

โ€œFollow me,โ€ the warden swiftly led Malcolm and the doctor to Janessaโ€™s cell. The scene was undisturbed, with leftover bread scattered on the groundโ€”clearly the bread Janessa had eaten that day.

Upon seeing it, Malcolm asked the doctor, โ€œCould you please examine this bread?โ€

โ€œWill do.โ€ The doctor picked up the bread, ripping off a piece. He sniffed it, tasted it, then remarked casually, โ€œThis bread is made from starch and butter. Though it tastes unpleasant, it contains no harmful ingredients.โ€

โ€œThere was absolutely nothing wrong with that bread. I even saw Ava sneak a piece the other day, and sheโ€™s perfectly fine,โ€ a prison officer interjected. The โ€œAvaโ€ she mentioned was the officer who had stolen Janessaโ€™s bread and beaten her, but she had since been dismissed.

The warden nodded. โ€œMr. Schultz, I believe there should be no issue with this bread.โ€

The doctor agreed. โ€œThereโ€™s definitely nothing wrong with the bread, so I suspect this female prisonerโ€™s death was caused by depression and despair from incarceration. She couldnโ€™t eat or sleep well, which likely led to her demise.โ€

โ€œAre you sure?โ€ Malcolm found the situation peculiar, but he couldnโ€™t find anything suspicious.

Malcolm nodded. โ€œThank you. I now understand. I wonโ€™t trouble you further.โ€

โ€œNo trouble at all. Let me escort you out,โ€ the warden said, smiling warmly as she saw Malcolm off.

Unfazed, the doctor returned to the morgue, gently covered Janessa, and prepared to release her body to her family.

After completing the investigation, Malcolm returned to Lockhart Group and reported, โ€œMr. Lockhart, Iโ€™ve seen Janessaโ€™s body. She is indeed dead.โ€

Sebastian and Madelyn felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

โ€œDid you look into the cause of death?โ€ Madelyn asked anxiously.

Malcolm nodded. โ€œIโ€™ve looked into it. The doctor suggested Janessaโ€™s depression, triggered by her imprisonment, might have caused the sudden cardiac arrest.โ€

โ€œAll right then.โ€ Madelyn was speechless. Malcolm had personally investigated and seen the body; she believed there was no room for doubt.

After his report, Malcolm left. Sebastian, seeing Madelynโ€™s furrowed brow, pulled her into a comforting embrace. โ€œItโ€™s okay. Now that Janessa is gone, itโ€™s actually beneficial for you. Otherwise, she would have continued to hurt you.โ€

โ€œSheโ€™s still a person,โ€ Madelyn said, overwhelmed and on the brink of tears. Even though Janessa had killed her in a previous life, she couldnโ€™t believe Janessa was simply dead. A knot remained in her heart; it didnโ€™t feel right. She had anticipated their rivalry continuing after Janessaโ€™s release, but that was no longer possible. In the end, Madelyn accepted reality.

Meanwhile, with Janessa deceased, the prison released her body to the hospital morgue.

The doctor led Rachel to Janessaโ€™s presumed โ€œcorpseโ€ in the morgue. Upon seeing Janessa emerge, Rachel smiled joyously. โ€œJanessa, Iโ€™ve finally managed to get you out!โ€

The doctor smiled casually. โ€œMrs. Lowell, you truly are brilliant. Most people would never have thought of this scheme.โ€

โ€œOf course. If I didnโ€™t even know this little trick, wouldnโ€™t all these years have been lived in vain?โ€ Rachel smiled triumphantly. โ€œHowever, we owe a lot to you. They probably wouldnโ€™t have given up so easily if it werenโ€™t for your intervention.โ€

โ€œYou jest,โ€ the doctor said with a subtle smile. โ€œHow could I possibly be of any help? Iโ€™m merely a physician of modest skill, unable to determine the cause of Ms. Sherrittโ€™s death.โ€ He was clearly distancing himself.

Rachel was satisfied. โ€œI knew I didnโ€™t misjudge you. Donโ€™t worry. Once this matter is settled, your reward will be transferred to your account. Just sit back and enjoy the good life ahead.โ€
