Meanwhile, the other three children started to eat. They thought that Susan and Maya had a good relationship since Susan often used candies to bribe their sister, so they did not dwell on it.
After the meal, they started to prepare for Patty’s class.
Juan asked Evan in displeasure, “Daddy, when will we get to go to school?”
“In another three days.”
In three days, Levant would return to K Nation. By then, Nicole would be out of prison, and she would never see him again.
Three more days? Juan sighed, returning to his bedroom with his head hung low.
Two days later, Evan suddenly received a call that shocked him.
“What did you say?”
“Mr. Seet, Ms. Lane passed away!”
Passed away?
Nicole was always in good health. Besides, she was equipped with medical knowledge. Why would she die out of the blue?
No, this must be fake news.
Like a mad man, he rushed out of his office without his coat. Concerned, John chased after him with the forgotten coat in hand.
“Mr. Seet, hold up!” he yelled.
He finally caught up to Evan in the parking lot. When Evan saw him, he immediately ordered, “Drive to the prison now!”
Mr. Seet wants to visit Mrs. Seet?
That’s great! He should have gone there a long time ago.
John obediently nodded. “Yes, Mr. Seet.”
As the car headed for the prison, Evan was trembling with an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach.
How did Nicole die?
It’s impossible for her to die.
She must be so bored in prison that she came up with a trick like that so that I would visit her.
That must be the case!
The more he pondered over it, the more he panicked.
By the time they reached the prison, the guard immediately reported, “Mr. Seet, we were unclear over the phone. Ms. Lane has been sent to the hospital.”
“Hospital? You should have told me earlier!” Evan roared hysterically.
“Mr. Seet, let’s go to the hospital then,” John suggested.
With that, Evan turned and rushed to the hospital with John. When they reached there, they realized that Stephen had taken her corpse away.
“Mr. Seet, Sir Musgrave collected Ms. Lane’s body.”
Evan took out his phone to call Stephen immediately.
“I have cremated Nicole’s body. Evan, she died because of you.”
After that short line, the call ended.
Thump! Evan’s phone slipped out of his hands onto the ground.
Is Nicole really dead?
How is that possible? How can that happen?
And she is already cremated?
How can all this happen so quickly?
And Sir Musgrave blamed her death on me…
I only wanted Nicole never to meet Levant again, so I sent her to prison. Obviously, someone set her up for Grandpa’s death. I know she is not the murderer.
However, I never thought of killing her. I only wanted to stop her from leaving with Levant.
I can’t lose her!
How is this even possible?
Slowly, Evan bent over to pick up his phone and called Stephen again. However, the call did not get through.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice. “Evan, you killed Nicole. Are you happy now?”
It was Levant.
Evan knew his voice all too well.
He looked at Levant with teary eyes and asked curtly, “What are you doing here?”
“Evan, since Nicole is dead now, her ashes have to be buried beside her mother’s. Shouldn’t you be at the memorial service?”
Evan felt as though his heart was being dug out.
Abruptly, he staggered. I thought Sir Musgrave was lying to me since his phone was switched off. Perhaps Nicole is not dead yet. However, now she is about to be buried?
Evan blacked out as his knees buckled, and he collapsed onto the ground.
“Mr. Seet!”
John quickly reached out to support him and called for a doctor. He could not afford to let anything happen to Evan.
