Zoey?!
Kevin didn’t expect to involve her.
But how did she know that Patricia had already died, and why did she take Patricia’s ashes?
These many doubts made people extremely frightened to think carefully.
Suddenly, he remembered Lena’s abnormal behavior. At noon, she was lying on the ground, constantly digging into the soil. It didn’t seem like she was lamenting the flowers, but rather like she was trying to hold onto something.
Could it be that…
Kevin’s heart trembled, his eyes gradually becoming sinister, emitting a chilling aura. He sternly said, “Go and find out for me! I want to know what she has been up to this week!”
A roar echoed in the cold morgue.
The assistant was suddenly startled and quickly walked out without daring to delay.
Kevin exploded in anger, then deflated like a balloon, quietly guarding ‘Lena‘, while the panic inside him multiplied rapidly.
“Lena, what happened?” He tightly grasped Lena’s hand, knowing in his heart what had happened, but still deceiving himself: “What did I do to make you not even want to live anymore? Please don’t punish me like this, okay?”

“Are you awake? As long as you wake up, you can scold me or hit me, you must not die. What will I do if you die? I can’t live without you. Kevin knelt on the ground, full of remorse.”
In the eerie space, there was no sound except for his increasingly loud crying.
His Lena had already passed away. Just like she had said in his dream, she really didn’t want him anymore, and she couldn’t come back.

Kevin clutched his chest tightly, his heart seemed to stop beating, even the dust in the air suddenly stood still. He collapsed to the ground with a thud, once again gradually losing consciousness.
When I woke up, it was already light outside.
Kevin sat on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the dawn outside the window until his assistant walked in looking exhausted. His eyebrows twitched slightly as he said, “Speak!”
The assistant looked at his expression, feeling nervous, but eventually managed to say, “I looked into the cause of Madam Marcer’s death. The people at the sanatorium said she had a heart attack triggered by seeing a news report, and that news report was about Mrs. Halden smashing Ms. Callen’s art exhibition.”
At the words, the person in the bed flinched.
He asked in confusion, “What?! Didn’t I tell you to withdraw that day? Why can mom still see it!”
“It wasn’t me, Mr. Halden,” the assistant shook his head and said, “It was Ms. Callen. She hired someone to go to Madam Marcer’s hospital room and turn on the television, and the news was so popular that all the channels were reporting it, so that’s how Madam Marcer saw it.”

“And, that night the nursing home called you, but they said you never answered. In the end, Mrs. Halden alone took Madam Marcer’s body away and instructed not to tell you.”
Kevin’s face turned pale as he searched through his memories.
What was he doing that night?

He was comforting the upset Zoey, even blaming Lena for being immature. In the end, he was completely fooled by Zoey’s cunning tactics.
Patricia’s death was something he could not escape blame for.
And his Lena… she must have been so sad at that time.
No wonder she didn’t come home those two days, he thought she was sulking, turns out she was dealing with her mother’s affairs.
Kevin clenched the sheets tightly, the regret and anger in his chest almost overflowing. The person next to him cautiously spoke up, “There’s
more…”
“Speak! he growled, his anger barely contained.”
The assistant tensed up and said, “I also found out about a man, the one who appeared at the club. He was not brought by Mrs. Halden, but was actually a former benefactor of Ms. Callen.”
“They had known each other six years ago, when Ms. Callen was still dating you. Later, she suddenly broke up with you because she went abroad with that man and became his mistress for five years.”
