Saying that, Naomi took out a small syringe and extracted the drug she had in her bag. After that, she used her clothes to block the view of the camera before holding the tube hooked up to Francis and, without any hesitation, injected the entirety of the drug into the tube.
All it took was ten seconds for Naomi to administer the drug. Truly, what she did could be described as killing someone without leaving any trace of evidence. She then kept the syringe back into her bag before she sat back down and looked at Francis as if she had done nothing.
Anastasia tensed up, as she witnessed just how wicked a person could be right in front of her. She witnessed the person who had spent twenty years sleeping on the same bed as her father send her father to the jaws of death without so much as a sound.
At this point, Rey entered the room. “Miss Tillman, should we go in and
expose her now?”
Anastasia did not wish to wait any longer. especially since she had recorded everything as evidence. “Let’s go.”
Thinking that she had to quickly dispose of the syringe and the lethal drug in her bag, Naomi was about to leave when Anastasia entered. Upon seeing Anastasia, she said in a hurry, “Looks like you’re here. I have to go to the company now, so please take care of your father!”
However, the nurse who led Naomi immediately went to Francis’ side the moment she came in and checked on the contents of the indwelling needle. Unbeknownst to Naomi, the needle was not inserted into Francis but was merely taped onto him.
With an expression as cold as ice, Anastasia shot a chilling gaze at Naomi. “You are not to go anywhere from this very moment. Just what did you inject into my father’s IV tube?”
Naomi became nervous but managed to put on her poker face. “What are you talking about? I’ve only been accompanying your father and did
nothing of the sort.”
However, Rey hadn’t the intention of giving Naomi leeway to deny her crimes any further. He brought his iPad out and showed her the video of the moment Naomi committed the crime. “Naomi Lowell, we have recorded everything you’ve done in this ward. The evidence that shows you intended to murder Mr. Tillman is now in Miss Tillman’s hands.”
Upon looking at the video of her injecting the lethal drug. Naomi felt weak in her knees and almost fainted due to the shock. How could this be? she thought, as she did not expect what she had done in secrecy to be caught on tape by Anastasia. “Anastasia Tillman, you wretch! You set me up!” Shocked, she roared in anger upon realizing she had fallen into Anastasia’s trap.
“Naomi Lowell, you can save your piece
for the police, Anastasia said coldly. Just then, two uniformed officers entered and held Naomi by her arms. “Naomi Lowell, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of Francis Tillman.”
“Let go of me! I didn’t do it… It was all
Anastasia! She’s the one who set me up! I
didn’t do anything… Release me!” Naomi’s
screams, similar to the wails of a ghost,
resounded down the corridor.
Anastasia watched the nurse transfer the content of the IV tube into an empty bottle that would be sent to the police as evidence of Naomi’s crimes. Then, her heart ached the moment she noticed how pale her father’s face had become. Does he know what is going on?
After Anastasia stayed with her father for a while, she left the ward to find Elliot walking toward her. In his black suit, he gave off a very strong fearless presence that said as long as he was present, there was nothing to fear, as he could simply breeze through even the toughest of challenges. “Naomi is now locked up in
the police station. You did a great job.” Elliot praised Anastasia, as her plan had managed to cause Naomi to essentially self-destruct in the end.
“What I want is for all those who harmed my father to pay. It won’t end with just Naomi alone Anastasia knew very well
that Colin Smithers, Alex Hunter, and Erica Tillman were involved as well. Although Naomi was the one who had pulled the trigger, the others were all accomplices in Anastasia’s eyes.
Elliot’s heart ached, as he noticed how haggard and thin Anastasia had become due to the current ordeal she was going through. Then, he embraced her in his arms. “Take your time. None of them will go scot-free,” he said, with hints of power and chilliness in his voice.
Back in the Tillman Residence.
