Let's Get Married novel Chapter 298

Everyone is shocked by her words. Rex, as well as all the judges and procurators all shift their gaze on her in shock.

They have seen some people who retracted their testimony during the court session. But Lily’s testimony is so inconsistent with that of her attorney.

The chief judge takes a glance at the document in her hands and frowns, “Please restate your testimony on the basis of the evidences you prepared.”

This is the bravest thing she has done in her life. She thinks she is a river prawn that is deliberately put into the deep sea by someone – although she is clear that she can’t change anything, she still desperately fights against the fate, “I said I didn’t kill her.”

She repeats the sentence in an assuring tone.

She didn’t kill her. She is clear that she didn’t violate the law.

All of a sudden, Rex’s expression turns gloomy. He is always the most calm and thoughtful person in the court, however, this time, he can hardly retain his composure.

Things are progressing towards an uncontrollable direction, and Rex doesn’t like the feeling of losing control of something.

He raises his hand to motion the judge, “I apply for a ten-minute adjournment…”

“No need.” Lily rejects his proposal as soon as he finishes the words, her chest rising and falling violently. If someone takes a closer observation, he may find out that her shoulders are slightly trembling. She takes a deep breath and tries to say in a calm voice, “I know that there is little evidence to prove my innocence, but even so, I have to declare, on my personality and health condition, I didn’t kill anyone, neither did I premeditate to murder someone. Melly’s death has nothing to do with me. I gave the injection with the intention to save her. And the one who told me that the injection could save her life is Marina, the plaintiff.”

The original smooth process is disrupted by her sudden speech. The chief judge is not skilled in dealing with such kind of situation; she raises her hand to adjust her glasses, asking, "You are repudiating the proposition of Mr. Rex, right?"

Hearing this, Lily steals a glance at Rex. The two were neither too far nor too close. They are clear that once Lily gives the answer “Yes”, it will change the judgment of the case.

Lily knows that Rex hopes she can act as he said before, but…

She turns to look into the eyes of the judge determinedly, “Yes.”

“Then do you have any evidence to support your argument?”

Her powerful words make the court fall into silence and intension. Lily’s hands, which are put at the sides, get so cold that she can seldom straighten her fingers. She grits her teeth and tightly wrinkles her eyebrows, “No.”

The judge's expression changes slightly. She looks down at the document to reassure that the defendant hasn’t provided any evidence to support her argument and then says in a solemn voice, “Please state your argument with the support of evidence.”

Lily, raising her head proudly from the very beginning, doesn’t lower her head, “Justice naturally inhabits man's heart. I didn’t kill her, and this is the truth. So I won’t admit the accusation, nor will I plead guilty.”

“Do you have other supplementary arguments?”

Lily shakes her head and thanks her politely, “No, thanks.”

Finishing her speech, Lily turns off the microphone and stares thoughtfully at the desk. Indeed, she is worrying about Rex’s reaction in heart. Although she can’t see his expression, she can imagine how gloomy he would be.
