Chapter 511: Pleasant Surprise

Lucas pulled Sarah up from the ground and said to her once again, ”I said I wont make you pay for it.

Instead, Ill help you cover the expenses of your daughters treatment.”

His clear voice reached Sarahs ears, and after she was dumbfounded for a while, a look of joy and disbelief appeared on her face.

“Re-really Youre not kidding me, are you” she asked cautiously to confirm it while staring intently into Lucass eyes.

Lucas nodded.

“Yes, since Ive said so, Im serious.”

Sarah appeared to be in a daze, and even after getting up from the ground, she still seemed to be in a dream.

“But… why My… my husband did something terrible to your family.

Why arent you making us compensate for it Instead, youre helping my daughter treat her illness.”

Lucas looked at the little girl hugging Sarah tightly.

She was emaciated, feeble, and extremely pale, looking as though she was about to fall at any moment.

This poor little girl immediately made Lucas think about his daughter, Amelia.

Both of them were almost the same age, and yet this little girl was so pitiful that Lucas couldnt help feeling a trace of sympathy for her.

Lucas admired Craig and Sarah as parents.

They might not necessarily be good or capable people, but they were indeed a pair of good parents who loved their daughter greatly.

Moreover, Lucas didnt want to see yet another person face impending death just because they couldnt afford to pay their medical expenses.

This was why Lucas decided to help this family—so that this little girl could live healthily in the future.

He reckoned that this little girls illness shouldnt have reached its worst yet.

Besides, tens of thousands meant nothing to Lucas now.

“Your daughter is about the same age as my daughter,” Lucas said lightly and then stopped talking about this subject.

He then said, “As I said before, I came to you to ask you some things.”

Sarah quickly wiped the tears flowing all over her face with her sleeve and then looked at Lucas with immense gratitude in her eyes.

“Okay, what do you want to know I will definitely tell you everything I know without hiding anything!”

In fact, even if Lucas hadnt offered to help her, Sarah would still tell him everything she knew out of the guilt flooding her heart.

Now that Lucas had become Chloes savior, all the more she wouldnt hide anything from him.

Lucas asked, “You said before that someone contacted your husband and gave him fifty thousand to run over my father-in-law with his car, right Who is that person”

Sarah shook her head with an apologetic expression.

“Im sorry, but I dont know who that person is.

That person contacted my husband outside, and I only learned about this matter on the night before the accident, so I dont know how and where that person contacted my husband…”

Lucas wasnt surprised to hear this, nor had he expected Sarah to be able to give him a clear answer.

“In that case, was the money given to your husband via cash or bank transfer Or was it through some other method”

“My husband received the money in cash,” Sarah said while pulling out a small and inconspicuous backpack from under the bed in the corner of the house.

She handed it to Lucas so that he could have a look at it.

“The fifty thousand in cash is all here.

I havent had time to take Chloe to the hospital yet, so its all still unused.” She hesitated for a moment before adding, “If this money will help you find some clues, you… can take it with you!”

Lucas could tell that she was feeling very conflicted at this moment.

She wanted to do her best to help him, but she was also reluctant to give away the money meant for saving her daughters life.

Although he had just assured her that he would pay for her daughters treatment in the future, they had just met after all, and she didnt even know his name and identity, so doing this was really risky.

Lucas could tell how sincere she was about giving help.

He smiled and shook his head without reaching out to grab the small backpack containing fifty thousand dollars in cash.

Since the other person was very cautious with the payment, it would be harder to investigate and find out their identity.

Even if Lucas brought the money back with him, it would be almost impossible to investigate using the serial numbers of the bills.

“Just put this money away for now.

How did that person contact your husband An in-person meeting, a call, or was it online” Lucas asked again.

Sarah thought about it and said sadly, “I think it should be through mobile because of my husbands limited literacy.

He… doesnt use his phone much to access the internet, and people usually contact him by calling him.

Moreover, the other day, my husbands condition became more serious.

Due to the pain, he could barely straighten his back, so he stayed at home for a few days.

But later on, he suddenly went out again, so someone should have called him.”

“Do you still have your husbands phone” Lucas asked.

If he could find the call records made in the past two days from Craigs phone, maybe the search scope for the mastermind could be reduced.

But Sarah said with a sorrowful expression, “No, I didnt see his phone when I packed his belongings at home.

I think he must have carried it with him, and it ended up getting destroyed in the car accident that killed him.”

“…”

The phone was destroyed, and this clue was naturally broken.

“So, did he reveal any other information to you”

“I… dont think so,” Sarah said, feeling extremely guilty and ashamed.

Lucas pondered about it quietly.

He could tell from the fact that the other party had paid for the murderous act in cash that they werent a fool.

But what baffled him was that William wasnt one to cause trouble.

So who exactly would be willing to spend so much effort and money to hire someone to kill him

According to the information obtained from Jordans investigation, William had been going to work and getting off work on time every day.

He didnt go to gambling dens or have any conflict with anyone.

Logically speaking, no one should have spent so much money to get him killed.

Seeing Lucas remaining silent, Sarah felt extremely guilty.

“Im sorry, I… Im not of any help to you.

If I had known earlier that this would happen, I should have asked my husband about it clearly!”

Lucas shook his head.

He was well aware that since Craig was willing to trade his life for money that could save his daughters life, he would certainly also protect the safety of his wife and daughter.

Thus, he would never have taken the initiative to disclose any information about the person who had paid him for murder.

Lucas was somewhat disappointed that there wasnt much useful information from Sarah.

But since he had given his promise to Sarah and her daughter, Chloe, he naturally wouldnt forget about it.

He pointed to Jordan beside him.

“Jordan, please help me settle Chloes treatment and arrange for her to be treated at the best hospital by the best doctor as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Lucas.” Jordan immediately agreed.

Then Lucas said to Sarah, “Sarah, hell help you with arranging Chloes treatment.

You guys exchange numbers later.”

Only then did Sarah dare to be certain that Lucas was really going to help them.

She was overjoyed and thanked Lucas profusely.

Lucas merely smiled lightly.

“Youre welcome.

Ill give you my number too.

If you think of any clues, please inform me.”

He handed a business card to Sarah.

After one last look at the thin and pitiful little girl, Lucas and Jordan left.

On the way back, Lucas could barely hide his dejection.

Without sufficient clues, trying to find the person who had tried to kill William was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Jordan suddenly said, “Right, Lucas, I suddenly remembered something.

My subordinates sent me a message earlier that said they found that Nikki Heron has gone to your father-in-laws apartment several times lately.

When he got into the accident, she also left the apartment before Karen did… Ah, I mean, your mother-in-law.”

Boom!

The news was like a bolt of lightning illuminating in Lucass heart.
