My Wife Defended Her Father’s Killer

My father-in-law, Luther Smith, got into a car accident and was sent to the emergency room.

I called my wife, Meg Smith, who was a lawyer, more than twenty times before she picked up.

“What are you doing now? Hugh ran into trouble, and I’m helping him. Please don’t be a nuisance.”

I suppressed my feelings and said, "Dad got into a car accident, and he needs a hundred thousand dollars for surgery."

However, she believed Hugh’s words instead. She said viciously, “It’s your father who got into the accident. What does it have to do with me? Don’t covet my money for your family. Stop harassing me. I’m busy.”

She then quickly ended the call. They did not manage to save Luther, and he died.

Three days later, in court, I saw Meg defending Hugh as his defense lawyer for his drunk driving case.

She was extremely good at her job, so she managed to win the court case for Hugh due to insufficient evidence. Hugh was acquitted.

I was extremely disappointed. After the court session, I asked for a divorce.

She started to panic.

“My dad is so kind to you. He’ll be very upset if you divorce me!”

I sneered and threw the hospital receipt and death certificate at her face.

What an idiot. She did not know that she no longer had a father.

I was a little dumbfounded when I received the call from the hospital.

My father-in-law, Luther Smith, had just brought my wife Meg Smith’s favorite food over. He had just left when he got into a car accident.

I immediately rushed to the hospital. On the way, I kept calling Meg.

She was a lawyer, and she was usually very busy. It was normal for her to ignore my calls.

However, this time, it was important that she pick up the phone. Luther was in a critical condition in the hospital!

I called her again, but she still did not answer. I put my phone down with a frown. Then, I rushed to the emergency room and panted as I asked the nurse.

“H-How’s Luther?”

The nurse sighed and said, “He’s still receiving emergency treatment, but it doesn’t look great. Please be prepared for the worst.”

I was extremely anxious. I quickly gave Meg another call.

She finally answered the call, but she sounded really impatient. “Easton, what are you doing? Why are you spamming me with calls? Don’t you know I’m busy?”

I was about to speak when I heard a man’s voice. “Meg, please don’t go. Can you accompany me for a little longer?”

Meg immediately comforted him, saying, “I’ll be here with you. I won’t go anywhere.”

It had been a long time since she had used such a gentle voice to speak to me.

At that moment, I felt my heart suddenly turn cold.

My voice was a little hoarse. “What’s keeping you busy?”

Meg clicked her tongue impatiently over the phone.

Even though I could not see
