Tears fell from Olivia’s eyes as they rolled down her cheeks like broken pearls. “He wouldn’t have died if it weren’t for us.”
Eugene’s voice was choked as well. “I know we owe him. Don’t you worry. I’ll go take a look.” She wiped her tears and said anxiously, “I’ll joint you.”
He was genuinely concerned that she wouldn’t be able to handle it after seeing such a gruesome scene, so he reassured her, saying, “You don’t need to go. Blake and Hector are still in the hospital, and they need someone to protect them.”
Olivia agreed after a moment’s thought. “All right. Call me if there’s anything.” Eugene responded with a hum before leaving for the hospital to go straight to Mason’s house.
She stood outside the hospital room. Her mind was buzzing, but her ears were unusually sensitive because she seemed to have heard the conversation between Blake and Hector about the upcoming surgery in a few days. It also seemed like she was hearing the sunny and cheerful young man say, “I’m glad I can help you. There’s no need for any compensation. I’m still studying abroad now. If possible, can I work at the Nolan Group after I graduate?”
She could never have imagined that such a kind-hearted young man would lose his life simply because he had decided to be a good Samaritan. Olivia looked up at the ceiling and was determined not to let the tears fall.
In a while, she would still have to go into the hospital room. She would have to come up with a reasonable excuse to tell Blake that Mason couldn’t perform the surgery with him anymore.
Blake would still have to continue drinking his disgusting medicine and might even undergo chemotherapy in the later stages. If they were lucky, they might be able to find a suitable bone marrow match again.
Or… they might not. Still, how could she tell the child that Mason was murdered just because Mason agreed to donate his bone marrow to him?
Her eyes turned bloodshot, her hands clenched into fists, and her heart filled with boundless hatred. She had underestimated human nature and definitely underestimated that heartless woman. Blood Rose, just wait. I will definitely kill you for these transgressions!
The lights on the ceiling seemed to be spinning in circles, making her dizzy, and the bright light in front of her became increasingly blurred as it gradually faded away until it disappeared.
Suddenly, Olivia collapsed to the ground with a thud. Meanwhile, when Eugene and Kyle arrived at Mason’s house, the police had already arrived and examined the scene. There were marks on the window from the steel wire, confirming that they were the same as the strangulation marks found in the doctor’s duty room when Brett Jams died. This confirmed that it was the work of the same murderer.
Moreover, they had also found steel wire on the wall of the alley during the previous attack on Jewel and Olivia.
This meant that these three cases were all the work of Blood Rose alone. They were doing everything possible to capture her, but this woman was extremely cunning as she kept slipping through their fingers like a slippery eel.
She was able to enter and eliminate any of her targets even if the victims were under witness protection. Plus, Blood Rose didn’t have any enmity against this particular victim, so why did she have to kill him with such a cruel method?
Eugene shared his suspicions with the police. He informed them that she did it because Mason was the bone marrow donor for his son and it was because of this reason alone that Mason suffered such a cruel death at Blood Rose’s hands. She did it for revenge.
In the end, his voice was stern and unyielding as he demanded that the police capture the culprit and punish her severely.
The police dared not utter a word. Not only was it obvious that Eugene was infuriated that Blood Rose was still roaming free, but they also felt embarrassed by their lack of progress. This one woman had caused such a stir, and despite their efforts, they had not captured her and allowed her to strike again and again, which only demonstrated their dereliction of duty and incompetence.
They immediately pledged to do their utmost best to catch the culprit. Eventually, they sealed off various transportation departments and vowed to capture Blood Rose.
Eugene stood in front of Mason and looked at his corpse deeply for a long time. The guilt in his heart made him secretly swear that he would avenge Mason.
Suddenly, his phone rang, and it startled him, jerking him out of his thoughts. As he was just faced with Mason’s death, he was now on edge and somewhat paranoid. He was terrified that something might happen to Olivia and the children.
He became even more nervous when he saw that it was Shannon calling. Thus, he quickly answered, “Shannon, what’s wrong?”
Shannon’s voice was troubled as she babbled, “Mr. Nolan, where are you? Mrs. Nolan fainted, and the doctors are trying to save her.”
