The police car sped all the way. I even ran several red lights, but I didn't care. Along the way, Lily Davis kept asking me what was going on, but I didn't answer. I just kept thinking in my heart, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!
I sped all the way to the downstairs of Emily and Jason Miller's home. I rushed upstairs and knocked on the door, but there was no sound from inside the door.
"Ms. Brown! Ms. Brown! I'm the male police officer who came today. We still need you to confirm some things about your husband!"
With a creak, under my rapid knocking, the door was opened. The person who opened the door was none other than Emily.
After seeing Emily appear in front of me safe and sound, I let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was okay. I came in time.
Just as I was about to speak, who knew that Emily spoke first, "Come in and sit down. I know why you came."
Emily's tone was calm. These words made Lily Davis and I a bit confused. But then I understood what the other party meant by this sentence. A very bitter and helpless expression couldn't help but appear on my face.
Lily Davis and I were taken to the home by Emily. We were asked to sit on the sofa by Emily. Then the other party poured a glass of water for each of us.
"Yes, my husband was indeed killed by me."
Emily sat opposite us, took a sip of water, and then said in an extremely calm tone. It was still the same tone as before, but the words she said were different.
Lily Davis and I were so shocked by the other party's words that we couldn't speak. Why did Emily suddenly admit it this time?
"My husband and I trusted each other so much. How could I suspect that he was having an affair?"
Emily smiled slightly. This smile contained many meanings. It was a kind of smile that I still couldn't describe the feeling of to this day. But even though many years had passed since this case, I could still clearly remember that smile of Emily.
"This fool, he used his own bank card to pay for the medical treatment. Didn't he know that the mobile phone number bound to his bank card was mine?"
Emily was still talking. As someone who had experienced many cases, it was not difficult for me to hear that there was full of tenderness in the other party's tone.
"I just went to the hospital and asked and I knew his situation. Looking at his appearance of working hard at the end, I understood why he was doing this. Having been with him for so long, how could I not know what he was thinking?"
Emily picked up the intimate photo of her and Jason Miller on the table. Looking at the photo, the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing out.
"I couldn't bear it. I really couldn't bear to see him continue to suffer like this. He was in so much pain and still worked so hard. Several times he would wake up in the middle of the night from the pain. He made excuses to explain to me, but I couldn't bear to expose him.
I couldn't do it. I couldn't watch him continue to live for me in such pain. Coincidentally, I saw the news about the Red Spider Lily on the Internet that day."
At this point, I finally understood the whole situation of this matter. Lily Davis was still in a state of shock from this story and hadn't recovered.
And I was extremely calm and quickly analyzed and discovered a doubt in this case.
