After My Daughter’s Death, My Lawyer Husband Defends the Murderer

Ever since Kate appeared, the relationship between John and I had been getting worse.

He always had all kinds of excuses to go to her. When I questioned him, he would scold me for being petty and unreasonable.

A month ago, we had a big fight. I proposed a divorce, and he never came back. Even when Dora was sick and hospitalized, he never called us.

Dora was a sensible child. I secretly cried behind her back, but she noticed it.

She coaxed me, saying that she would help me get back together with John.

Thinking that she was comforting me, I didn't think too much about it.

Unexpectedly, she was actually planning on it.

She knew that John loved writing. When his birthday was around the corner, Dora went to Ponset Resort to buy a pen exclusive available there.

She hid all of her plans from her. She didn't call me until she got there. I was on a business trip at that time. Fearing that it was not safe for her to go to such a remote place alone, I could only tell her to watch out.

I didn't expect that I would lose her forever after the phone call.

John's birthday was yesterday. She must have been worried that she would miss it, so she rushed home overnight. She didn't expect such a tragedy to happen.

I clutched my chest tightly. My heart was in so much pain that it felt like it was going to split apart.

At this time, Dora, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved.

I opened my eyes wide, not daring to miss a single detail.

...

Shaking her head in pain, she seemed to realize that she was in great danger. She struggled to support her body and climbed little by little to the emergency lane, holding the pen tightly in her hand.

There was a flash of light along with the sound of a car whistling over.

"No! No!"

I screamed as the car crushed over Dora's body in the video.

When she was rolled to the bottom by a truck, her body quickly disappeared from the sight.

"Dora... My Dora must be in so much pain..."

I collapsed to the ground, crying helplessly.

With the help of the police, I got up and sat down on a chair. The truck driver walked up to me and bowed to me a few times. He then said, "I'm sorry that something like this happened, but as you can see, your daughter must have been dead when she hung up under my car..."

"And I'm a victim... I rely on driving around to make money to support my family. Now, everyone knows about it. I was slandered for drunk driving by the media, and I inexplicably became a murderer. My car became an omen..."

As he spoke, he cried. "My wife is in poor health. She is waiting for me to make money to treat her... What should I do..."

"I can't pay for your daughter's death alone. Those who have crushed her must pay as well. Yes, the most important thing is that woman. She may be the first to hit your daughter! Who knows if she did it on purpose?"

As soon as I heard his words, my body trembled. I looked up at the police, asking, "Officer, have Kate been caught?"

The policeman paused before saying, "You know the woman?"

I nodded and asked, "How's the investigation going? Did she deliberately escape after committing murder?"

"The case is currently being investigated..."

The policeman's words were interrupted by a burst of ringtone. He walked aside and answered the call. After a while, he came back to me.

I looked at him eagerly. He was silent for a while before saying slowly, "Kate has been interrogated at the police station of Yrore and has been acquitted."

...

"Is she acquitted?"

I stood up abruptly, looking agitated. "Why?"

"She insisted that she had hit someone. The incident happened at about nine p.m. There was no light at the entrance of the resort, so she couldn't see the situation on the road clearly. She only remembered that her car shook when she passed by the roadside of Ponset Resort.

"She thought she had hit a stone. Your daughter was probably squatting on the side of the road at that time. The car hooked her clothes, so she was dragged all the way to the highway. Kate didn't know what happened next.

"There were no surveillance cameras on that road. No witnesses were present at that time. We went to the scene for investigation and found nothing else."

Seeing that I was getting more and more disappointed, he continued,

"Ms. Hill expressed her willingness to compensate for the damage thus caused."

"I don't want her compensation. I just want the truth!"

I asked, stressing each word, "Are you going to let her go just like that?"

The police officer was silent for a long time before saying in a low voice, "Her boyfriend is a top lawyer. After she confessed, the lawyer answered all the subsequent questions."

"A top lawyer?"

A bone-chilling chill rose from the soles of my feet.

"Is her lawyer John Smith?"

The policeman's face changed as he said, "You know John Smith?"

I sneered and said, "John Smith is my husband I just called."

The policeman was torn. He wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

"How about the driving recorder? Is there no driving recorder?"

I grabbed his arm excitedly as if I were trying to grab the last straw.

"... Kate said that she was frightened upon receiving our call and knowing that she had hit someone. On the way to the police station, she hit a tree on the side of the road and damaged the driving recorder."

I collapsed on the chair and forced a smile, saying mockingly, "Officer, do you believe in coincidences?"

The policeman looked at me, opened his mouth, and let out a long sigh.

"Ms. Lawrence, based on the preliminary investigation, your daughter's death was an accident. Please restrain your grief. However..."

He changed the topic and said in a low voice, "If you can provide me with some other evidence, we will do our best to seek justice for you!"

I understood what he meant.

If I could find evidence of John's having an affair with Kate, the nature of Kate's accident would be changed.

"I'll find it as soon as possible, officer."
