Chapter 721 The Truth
Nancy heard everything from the other side of the door. 'Leda?
Who the hell is she?'
Nancy suddenly felt blindsided with everything that was happening around her. Derrick grabbed Anna by her arm, which caused the knife in her hand to drop to the floor.
"Anna, I'm a fool and a madman. You come to my ward with a knife. After killing you, I can tell everybody that I was merely defending myself. Do you want to die like this, Anna? Do you want to die in vain? I won't even get any punishment for this!" As he finished speaking, Derrick was about to stab Anna with the knife.
Anna, who seemed to have had the upper hand, was freaked out.
"Help..." That was all she managed to do. Derrick covered her mouth before she could utter another word.
Hearing everything, Nancy forced the door open, breaking it in the process.
"Derrick, what are you doing?" Nancy shouted as she grabbed the knife from Derrick's hand.
"Nancy, she went here to kill me! I was so scared. This is on her, I swear!" Derrick exclaimed. He was surprised to find Nancy there with them.
Anna, who was clinging dearly for her life, looked pale. She knew she had just dodged death by a second. "Nancy, don't listen to him. Derrick is the epitome of evil"
"Don't twist the situation here! Doctor! Nurse," Derrick cried. He had an aggrieved look on his face. It was as if he had just escaped Anna's wrath.
A doctor and a couple of nurses ran quickly into the ward.
They were surprised to find Nancy in that ward.
"Director Nancy, what happened here?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"I don't know either. When I came in, I saw Derrick waving a knife at Anna. That's it!"
"No, she wanted to kill me! Anna wanted to kill me! I'm not lying!" I know nothing. I was staying in the room. It was this woman who wanted to kill me with a knife. I was defending myself!" Derrick argued.
"Derrick, do you plan to play dumb all day long?" Anna sarcastically said. "Everyone, I'll only tell you one thing; Derrick is pretending to be a madman. He has been recuperating in this hospital instead of being put to jail! That man has taken lots of lives. Don't let all of them die in vain, and bring this man to justice!"
Derrick was scared as Anna seemed determined to expose him.
Now that she was not even afraid of death, what else would she be afraid of?
"Ah! My head hurts, doctor!" Derrick helplessly held his head, knowing full well that he might not get out of that trouble.
Just in time, Colten marched in with an arrest warrant in his hand. "Derrick, you are under arrest. We have known that you've been pretending to be a madman. You need to go with us. By the way, Nana is awake. It was also you who hired a person to meddle with her medicine. You wanted to kill her."
"You are all working together! I did not do anything wrong! Why would you guys want to frame me?" Derrick continued to struggle. "I want to see my father. Let me go! Dad! Help me, please..." He stood up from his wheelchair and began to run.
Before Derrick could even make it out of the ward, Colten managed to stop the culprit. "You're coming with us!"
The captain took a pair of handcuffs and restrained Derrick.
Derrick knew that once he was held in custody by the police, there was a slim chance for him to get out.
He had been pretending to be a madman all these days. If not for his father, he would have been imprisoned a long time ago.
At that moment, his father was Derrick's only hope.
He would surely be miserable and worthless without his father.
"Derrick, only God can save you from your sins now," Colten sneered.
"Who do you think you are? You're but an ant in this city!" Derrick said arrogantly. His ferocious eyes made him look like a demon.
"Derrick, no one escapes the law no matter how powerful your family is. You should take responsibility for your crimes. It would be best if you cooperate with the police," Nancy said.
Derrick spat, "Nancy, who do you think you are? Enjoy your remaining hours with Charles. Do you think he'll still want you after what you've done to me? Dream on!"
"My relationship with Charles is none of your business! I want you to pay for all the crimes you've committed. Judging by what you've done with Nana, you're a ruthless animal! There must be lots more who suffered far worse than her. It's useless to argue with me, Derrick. Captain Colten will squeeze the truth out of you." As Nancy spoke, she turned and look at Captain Li. "Am I right, Captain Colten?"
"You are right, Director Nancy." Captain Colten nodded. "Derrick, to tell you the truth, there is nothing Charles can do to save you. Of course, there is also Frederic. They are all righteous people, unlike you."
"Dad, please come here. They are all plotting against me!" Derrick shouted at the top of his lungs.
As soon as he finished his words, Hardy came as he rolled Frederic in.
Derrick's hoarse roars woke Frederic from his rest.
Frederic was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. In a hurry, he asked Hardy to push him to have a look.
Frederic understood what was happening when he saw Captain Colten.
In the end, the truth was exposed.
The father had a calm expression on his face. "What's going on, Derrick?"
"Dad, look, I didn't do anything. This police said I did something wrong. I am innocent, I swear!" Derrick reiterated as he sobbed.
Tears started to stream down his face.
Derrick cried like he was the victim.
"Sir, we got a tip that your eldest son, Derrick Fu, was involved in the club's case. We have to take him to the police station for interrogation. If he's truly innocent, he'll be back here in no time. If he turns out to be guilty, we must abide by what the law dictates," Captain Colten said politely.
The captain truly respected Frederic.
"Derrick, you have done so many vile things. With Nancy as a living proof, how else could you deny your crime?"
Anna spoke hastily. Somehow, she was afraid that Captain Colten would let Derrick go.
"Nancy, tell me what happened." There was a hint of expectation in Frederic's eyes. Undoubtedly, he hoped that Nancy would take Derrick's side.
After all, Nancy was involved in the case.
