Chapter 1343
Sonia walked out of the ward after tucking Toby in the bed. As she was leaving, she glanced back and was
unsurprised to meet the man's loving eyes. In retrospect, their situation was slightly ironic. So, when the man got
sick, he became more vulnerable and looked like a helpless child who couldn't bear to be separated from his
parents. Then, she gave the man a friendly wave and a smile while sitting on the outside bench. Soon, the
reluctance in his eyes dissipated when the man saw that she had sat down instead of leaving.
A while later, Tom dropped by to fill Toby in on what was happening at work. In addition to that, he also updated
Toby on the progress of Miles hypnotizing Harry Lore.
However, Sonia was unable to overhear their conversation and waited patiently outside. Eventually, when Tom
came out, he would report it to her.
It wasn't long before ten minutes had passed, and he rushed out from the ward. Before she could inquire, he
stopped in front of her and greeted, "Hello, Miss Reed."
"Didn't Mr. Snyder come to the hospital?" she inquired.
Tom readjusted his glasses and replied, "Mr. Snyder is in the hospital, but he didn't come over. He went to pick up
Mr. Quentin Snyder's heart and is planning to bring it back to their hometown after collecting it."
"I see." Sonia nodded in acknowledgment and asked, "Will he still come to the hospital in the future?"
"Yes, he will," he replied. "Tina hasn't been caught yet. Mr. Snyder already knew that Tina harmed Mr. Quentin
Snyder, so he asked us to notify him after we caught her. He will definitely come over again."
"That makes sense." Then, she sighed and continued, "It is a fact that Tina killed his brother. Although he may not
be able to feel family affection, their family hood will inspire resentment and vengeance toward the person
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtresponsible for his brother's death."
"You're right," Tom sighed. "After I made initial contact with Mr. Snyder and informed him about it, he remained
silent on the phone for an extended period. After a while, when the name Tina was mentioned, his tone was
noticeably more hostile than before. It demonstrates that he is not devoid of human emotions, but rather reacts
indifferently to them."
"That's the same case with Tim." Sonia smiled and added, "Although he is a Deficient Emotional Self-Regulation
patient who cannot feel emotions, I know they aren't completely emotionless. They merely don't know their
emotions are controlling them. The fact that Miles resents the murderer who killed his brother means he has
emotions projected onto his family. Meanwhile, Tim always looks after me because I saved him from drowning once
when we were young. That is enough proof that he is also a man with emotions who has gratitude and prioritizes
friendship."
Following that, he nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Tim, who wanted to approach them from the nearby corner, was taken aback by Sonia's sudden
reference to him and quickly retreated. As it turns out, she does not see me as some emotionless monster but
rather as a human being who possesses emotions. Then, he looked at his hands and grinned, sensing his heart
pumping with excitement rather than sitting there like a pool of stagnant water. This must be the joy and
excitement that people often talk about—being recognized and accepted by others.
Tim looked over at Sonia, then Tom, and silently walked away. He wanted to go back and sort out his emotions while
keeping track of all the changes brought on by these new feelings. Then, he might gain a deeper understanding of
the human emotional spectrum.
On the other hand, Sonia was unaware that Tim was nearby. So, when she had finished talking about him, she
looked at Tom and switched to a serious topic. "Did Harry tell the truth?"
In response, he immediately nodded in excitement. "Of course! No one can resist Mr. Snyder's hypnotism. After he
was hypnotized, Harry truthfully confessed when the police interrogated him. He was indeed the one who killed
Professor Randall."
Even though they had known the answer for a long time, she could not help but take a deep breath when it was
confirmed.
"I recall Harry and Professor Randall are both mentees of the same mentor. I still can't believe he killed his friend."
Sonia let out a sigh.
What had become of humanity?
"That's right, the two are indeed fellow mentees and have similar talents in economics. However, the mentors
usually preferred Professor Randall because he had a good character. Harry was obviously more cunning and had
always been envious of Professor Randall. Still, Harry was good at hiding his feelings. Before President Fuller chose
Professor Randall as his mentor, Harry did not make a move on his fellow friend. After all, Professor Randall was an
ordinary professor with a family background less superior to Harry's. Hence, while Harry was jealous of his friend,
he also had a sense of superiority to look down on Professor Randall. It wasn't until President Fuller chose Professor
Randall as his mentor that Harry completely lost his cool."
"Because if Toby had chosen Professor Randall, he would gain the support of Toby and the Fullers, and his
reputation would rise even higher. Therefore, Harry will be disregarded as time goes on," Sonia added.
Tom sighed and explained, "That's right. Since Harry was aware of that, his jealousy of Professor Randall grew.
Therefore, when Harry knew that none of the Lores' descendants had the power to reunite the Lores, he was even
more troubled. Soon, he devised the plan to overthrow Professor Randall and became President Fuller's mentor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith President Fuller as a mentee, even if the descendants of the Lores were not successful, they could rely on
President Fuller and the Fullers to prosper. Facts have proved that Harry was right. If the Lores hadn't grown
arrogant over the years and meddled in President Fuller's relationship issues, they wouldn't have angered President
Fuller. The latter would have helped them, and they could still enjoy freedom under President Fuller's protection.
Moreover, President Fuller would not even consider investigating the truth about Professor Randall's death."
"That means bad people always deserve bad endings. They can try to cover up their past bad acts, but eventually,
those acts will come to light. This is called retribution," Sonia uttered coldly.
Tom continued, "According to Harry, he didn't want to kill Professor Randall. He merely wanted to hurt Professor
Randall, so he couldn't attend the mentee appointment ceremony. By doing that, Harry would have a chance to
take President Fuller in as his mentee. So, he had everything planned out for that. He placed banana peels outside
Professor Randall's office, thinking that after the latter stepped on the banana peels and fell, he would be in a coma
or hospitalized. However, Harry never foresaw that the fall would end Professor Randall's life."
"Everything in this world is so unpredictable that nothing goes as planned. Even if it is roughly in line with one's
expectations, there will be some deviations. Even a slight change in circumstances will dramatically alter the nature
of the situation. Harry claimed he simply wanted to injure Professor Randall and never intended to kill him, but did
he not consider the possibility that Randall could die? After all, Professor Randall wasn't young anymore. Harry
probably considered it, but counted on his good fortune and perseverance, so he went ahead with his plan anyway."
"I knew it! It turned out to be what I expected."
Tom nodded. "After Professor Randall's death, Harry took swift action to erase any lingering signs of his presence
and contacted the investigating police chief. Since the police chief was a close family of the Lores, the investigation
into Professor Randall's untimely death was swiftly wrapped up and ruled as an accident. This case would not have
been closed so quickly if a different police chief had been in charge. Perhaps, the truth about Professor Randall's
death would have been revealed, and Harry would have been arrested by now."
