Chapter 599: Chapter 599 Hurry Up and Escape_1
Jade Carlson handed the phone back to Nathaniel Summers.
She looked at him nervously, “I’ve done what you said…”
Nathaniel Summers ignored her. After taking back the phone, he called emergency services and reported that someone had fallen down the stairs at home, asking for medical staff to come over.
It was only then that Jade Carlson dimly realized Evelyn Willard hadn’t died.
Evelyn Willard had merely passed out.
Jade Carlson breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t want to be a murderer, let alone the murderer of her own biological mother.
But the cigarettes contaminated with drugs that were in Nathaniel Summer’s hands were solid evidence, and given that Nathaniel had been cautious, who knew if there were surveillance cameras installed in her guest room?
Jade Carlson’s hope vanished.
Her body went cold, and, shaking, she curled up, enduring the excruciating pain of drug withdrawal.
Nathaniel Summers did not pay her any more attention, merely saying, “After the medical staff arrives, you can follow them and take care of her.”
He then walked back to his room, his back looking cruel and heartless.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Jade Carlson felt as if she’d been granted a reprieve. She scrambled back to her room, lighting a cigarette with an unbearable craving.
Exhaling plumes of smoke in rapid succession relieved the agony of the biting pain; Jade sat behind the door as reason slowly returned.
She began to think.
The path with Nathaniel Summers was clearly a dead end.
As for Evelyn Willard, even if she hadn’t died, she would probably have to spend a few days in the hospital. Evelyn Willard had brought her to this state; should she continue to play the dutiful daughter, tending to her at her bedside?
Jade’s heart harbored resentment. She suddenly felt that it would have been better if Evelyn Willard had simply died. Her previous thoughts were correct; this woman was a malignant tumor—the biggest one in her life!
If it weren’t for Evelyn Willard, would she have fallen to such depths?!
Jade took a deep drag off her cigarette. Before inhaling, she was suffering; afterwards, she was energized and bright-eyed.
She found a purse and started packing her things—phone, keys, wallet, all grabbed haphazardly and stuffed inside.
She couldn’t stay in Clearwater City. She had to escape quickly. Perhaps with a new identity, she could start over. But if Nathaniel sent her to jail, her life would be over.
Emergency medical staff arrived at the Summers Residence, and Jade followed them onto the ambulance.
All the way, she appeared tense, her complexion pale, lips pressed tight, not saying a word. The medical staff thought she was anxious about her mother’s safety.
In reality, she was thinking of her way out.
After leaving Clearwater, what should she do? Where should she flee? What did she need to prepare? … Money, she needed money! A lot of money!
Money was the only guarantee for her survival. Nathaniel’s credit card was still with her, but it could be stopped at any moment, or maybe it was already stopped. Where could she get money?
After arriving at the hospital, Evelyn Willard was immediately taken to the emergency room, while a nurse asked Jade to complete the admission procedures.
She was distracted, repeatedly thinking about how to make a clean getaway.
When she returned to the emergency room, the doors just happened to open, and doctors and nurses were talking as they walked out.
“This person looks like they’ve used drugs. There’s organ failure to various degrees and a lot of needle marks on her arms…”
“Should we call the police?”

“Let’s do a urine test first. If it comes back positive, we’ll call the police.”
“She seems to have come with a family member, should we ask them?”
Jade suddenly stopped.
She lowered her head, pretending to just be passing by, and hurried past the emergency room without a moment’s pause.
She couldn’t stay at the hospital any longer. She had to leave, and quickly!
