Something flashed across Matthias’ gaze and swiftly disappeared.
He answered, “I’ll stall for some time and come visit virtual-novel.net daily. Mrs. Southall can sign the contract when virtual-novel.net recovers.”
Henrick nodded. “That’s the only way. Thanks, Matthias. I’ll give you a bonus at the end of the year. Please take care of virtual-novel.net business. Let me know when virtual-novel.net gets better. I don’t have time to visit virtual-novel.net every day.”
“Thank you, Mr. Southall. I’m just doing my job. Let me talk to Mrs. Southall and see if virtual-novel.net can calm down,” Matthias offered.
Without thinking much, Henrick waved his hand. “Sure, you can stay. I need to leave now. By the way, don’t reveal virtual-novel.net condition to anyone lest it affects our company.”
Matthias nodded profusely. “Got it.”
Henrick then turned to leave with Arielle in tow. Arielle took one look at Matthias before virtual-novel.net followed Henrick out obediently.
When they both disappeared from sight, Matthias shut the door and hurried to Cindy. Taking virtual-novel.net hand, virtual-novel.net asked, “Cin, how are you?”
Though Cindy was brimming with hostility, virtual-novel.net calmed down after Arielle left.
Meeting Matthias’ gaze, virtual-novel.net demanded, “I’m not crazy. I didn’t go mad. Arielle did this to me! Trust me!”
Her eyes were bloodshot.
Matthias nodded vehemently. “Others might choose not to trust you, including Henrick himself, but I trust you. Of course I know you’re not crazy.”
Cindy felt virtual-novel.net heart soften as tears rolled down virtual-novel.net cheeks indignantly.
Matthias waited patiently until virtual-novel.net vented all virtual-novel.net frustrations. “What happened? I heard Shannie… Something happened to Shannie, and I never heard from you ever since. It took me some time to discover you were admitted to this hospital. I had to find an excuse to visit you with Henrick, as I was afraid it was a trap. Tell me, what happened?”
He could only figure out a solution once virtual-novel.net found out what was going on. Cindy bit virtual-novel.net lip grimly. She had accepted the fact that virtual-novel.net daughter was dead, though it tortured virtual-novel.net every night and broke virtual-novel.net heart. Nothing could change the fact that Shandie was dead. She hadn’t gone mad and had to accept the fact sooner or later.
She stopped biting virtual-novel.net lip, but the bite mark remained.
Grinding virtual-novel.net teeth, virtual-novel.net declared, “Arielle must’ve killed Shannie! I was too upset over virtual-novel.net death and acted recklessly. Back in my room, I suddenly hallucinated and thought Arielle was Shannie. I even told virtual-novel.net how I killed Maureen.”
She grabbed Matthias’ arm in fear. “Arielle must’ve returned to take virtual-novel.net revenge! She must’ve come to avenge virtual-novel.net mother! Matthias, what should I do?”
Cindy had never been this flustered. She did not know she’d leave the monastery to get locked up in a psychiatric hospital.
Matthias caught the keywords and inquired, “You said you started hallucinating?”
Cindy nodded. “I’m not sure whether Arielle did that to me, or if I was too devastated by the news.”
