Chapter 178
Regret? Xavier clenched his fist under his chin. He never knew the words "regret" and "regretful".
Yet, from this brief conversation, he had keenly sensed that Terence's feelings for Lily were more than just about
Maryanne,
Lily... really knew how to get him into trouble. One thing after another-first the situation, now a person involved...
Lily had reviewed the surveillance footage and immediately recognized it was Jasmine.
e was just an ordinary person, not smart enough or capable enough to track down which hospital Hayden was in,
let alone the exact ward. However, how she arrived at the hospital and avoided the nurses, heading straight to
Hayden's ward, meant someone must have pointed her in that direction
Her intentions were clear-she cfor money, accusing Hayden of being a murderer who had killed Bianca
Hayden went from explaining himself to silence, then painfully admitting, "I killed her. She was only in her 20s.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt's all my fault!"
The surveillance footage wasn't in a full 360-degree view, so it didn't show his expressions. But in those few
minutes, Lily couldn't imagine the amount of pain and mental pressure he had been under to the point of
contemplating suicide. Verbal provocation leading to someone's suicide would require distinguishing between
various situations to determine whether it would constitute a crime.
She took a screenshot of the footage, planning to send it to the police. Even if they didn't arrest Jasmine, she
wanted Jasmine to receive a warning.
She reached into her pocket and realized it was empty. Only then did she remember her phone was still in the
car.
She rushed downstairs, climbed into the car, and struggled to pull her phone from between the seats. There
were several missed calls, mostly from Nadia
She quickly returned the call. "Sorry, | had something urgent just now, so | couldn't cor answer the phone."
"Your brother's suicide isn't a small matter. Ms. Lynde understands. Just focus on taking care of him."
To Lily's surprise, Nadia wasn't angry with her.
She paused for a moment, her brows furrowed tightly. "How do you know my brother tried to commit suicide?"
"Ms. Lynde told me," Nadia replied, then suddenly realized something was off
Based on the timeline, Lily was on her way to the meeting when she received the call about Hayden's incident
and left.
However, she was with Sarah the entire time, and Sarah did not receive any calls during that period. How could
Sarah have known about Hayden's suicide attempt?
Then, she recalled how Sarah had chosen such a distant location for their meeting... A chilling thought crossed
her mind.
Lily's thoughts raced as she remembered Sarah mentioning Hayden that night, saying she would regret it if she
didn't care for him.
In that instant, she knew exactly what was going on. She hung up the phone with Nadia and ran her fingers
through her long hair, thinking deeply, Sarah wasn't just trying to make things difficult for her. She was playing a

taking the risk, where would the money Just as she was on edge, her phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar
number, but she recognized it-Hazel's new number. y cfr
from?
Without hesitation, she answered the call.
"Lily, | heard you paid for Hayden's medical bills. Did you also give Dr. Blackwood extra money? We really don't
have much left, apart from the house. Your father's card only has a five-digit balance left.
"If the money isn't enough, you can ask Xavier for more. Just make sure you don't upset Dr. Blackwood. If he
doesn't treat Hayden properly-
"Sell the house," Lily said coldly, her face bathed in the cold white light of the moon."
Hazel paused momentarily before saying, "We'll live on the street if we sell the house! You just need to ask
Xavier. It's only tens of thousands each month. Can't he give you that?"
Lily closed her eyes, her voice hoarse, "We're getting
getting a divorce, Don't expect anything fromin the future!"
