Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 458

If the nurse hadn't come in to check on Dexter, he would have suffocated to death.

Dexter thought he would have to comfort Myra after telling her the truth, maybe even endure her wrath. Yet Myra remained unusually calm after the initial shock. She didn't refute him, nor did she blindly defend Kayla.

Dexter was both surprised and uneasy, fearing this was the calm before the storm. But instead, Myra gave him a weird look. "I guessed as much."

Yes, she had guessed it. So, she had been avoiding Kayla and quietly questioning the nurse who had checked on Dexter when the incident happened.

Later, she stayed by Dexter's side to take care of him. Using the excuse of being considerate of Kayla, she forbade her from coming to the hospital or even getting close to Dexter.

Myra even secretly took Dexter to seek medical treatment without Kayla's knowledge.

Myra's eyes watered and she sobbed. "I guessed it. I just didn't want to believe it."

It wasn't until she heard Dexter's recount that she gave up.

Myra was heartbroken. She had seen the video of Ruben dying. In that video, Kayla coldly ordered Shawn to strangle Ruben before calmly staging the crime scene. That image of her smiling while doing so was terrifying.

But Ruben was merely a driver to them. The guilt they felt was quickly dismissed after compensating Ruben's family with money.

It was different this time. Kayla had tried to kill Dexter! Myra couldn't let this slide.

She heaved with anger. If Kayla were here, she might not have been able to resist hitting her! The slap Kayla got this afternoon was not enough!

And now, Myra found it laughable how Kayla had gone off with her so-called aunt and reconnected with her biological parents.
