Evan knocked on the door for a long time, but Nicole still did not open it.
He went to the kitchen to make dinner and got Nina to ask Nicole to eat, but there was still no response from behind the closed door.
The kids began to worry.
What’s wrong with Mommy?”
“No idea.”
“Does Mommy dislike this place?”
They looked at Evan, who made up the excuse that Nicole was unwell, and asked them to eat.
They obediently finished their dinner and returned to their own bedrooms. None of them made any loud noise for fear of disturbing Nicole while she rested.
Meanwhile, Evan did not knock on the door as he directly unlocked it and walked in.
When he saw Nicole who was lying on the bed, he was actually at a loss for words.
Will Nicole believe me if I say that it’s not my doing?
After all, the Seets are currently the ones that want Zane dead the most.
The Seets—
Could it be the doing of the other member of the Seets?
After much consideration, Evan thought that the most likely person was Russell.
Uncle Adam and Uncle Ryan still probably did not know who the murderer was.
While Jonathan had called him earlier thinking that it was his doing, so his dad was not the one who did this.
Could it really be Russell?
Based on how much Russell hated Zane, it was possible.
The thought made it harder for him to comfort Nicole.
Walking up to her, he placed his hand on her forehead. “Are you hungry?”
“Leave me alone.”
She gave him a light push and turned around to ignore him.
Zane’s miserable death and the image of his bloody mess kept replaying in her mind, hurting her.
She had to admit that Evan, who was known as Lucifer, used terrifyingly ruthless tactics to deal with people.
Evan didn’t say anything as he simply sat on the side of the bed and accompanied her quietly.
He didn’t go to the bathroom until she fell asleep.
At night, Nicole had a dream. She dreamed of the crash site, where Zane was howling in pain while the car was running over his body over and over again. It was an extremely tragic sight.
She yelled, “No—” She sat up sweating profusely.
Evan was jolted awake as he sat up and looked at her with concern.
“What’s wrong, Nikki? Did you have a nightmare?”
Nicole turned to look at him and wanted to say, Thanks to you.
But she hesitated and couldn’t bring herself to say so while being overwhelmed by mixed feelings.
After a long silence, she lay down after saying, “Let’s sleep.”
Lying beside her, Evan was unable to sleep. He was afraid that this incident would become an issue between them, and that it would affect their relationship.
The next day, Evan drove back to Seet Residence after sending the kids to school.
After he and Davin parked their cars in the garage, the latter walked to him in a secretive manner.
“I saw ghost last night, Evan. It’s so scary.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Evan glanced at him, not wanting to bother himself with him.
“Have you read the news about Zane’s accident? It clearly shows that the accident was in the evening, but Sheila and I actually saw Zane at nine o’clock last night.”
Davin hugged himself as chills ran down his spine.
A hint of surprise flashed across Evan’s eyes.
“What did you say?”
“I also suspected that I was seeing things, so I asked Sheila, and what she saw was the same as what I saw. We can’t both be seeing things, can we?”
How could it be?
Evan frowned. There were only two possibilities: the two of them had indeed seen things, or Zane did not die.
If the latter possibility was the case, Zane alone was absolutely incapable of putting on such a big show.
All the media outlets covered the news as if they had agreed to do so together.
There must be someone secretly manipulating it.
“Say something, Evan. What do you think is going on?”
Evan thought about it carefully. Everyone in the Seet family now thought that Zane was dead. If they found out that he might still be alive, there might be another turmoil.
He decided that it was better to keep quiet about this matter and investigate it secretly.
