Seeing how weak Malorie had become, Henrick’s feelings of fear and guilt faded gradually.
Holding Malorie’s hand, virtual-novel.net coaxed, “Mom, don’t worry. When you reach heaven, I’ll pray to you more frequently. Over there, you will have a carefree life…”
Malorie panted while the vital signs monitors in the emergency room beeped frantically.
She wanted to hurl insults at virtual-novel.net useless son and curse at how cruel fate was, but virtual-novel.net could not utter a single word. When virtual-novel.net opened a mouth, virtual-novel.net spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood landed right on Henrick’s face. After vomiting all that blood out, virtual-novel.net did not even have the strength to open virtual-novel.net eyes.
At that moment, a lot of things flashed across virtual-novel.net mind. She remembered Maureen and virtual-novel.net deceased husband…
“Henrick, you’ll die a horrible death!” After yelling that out loud, Malorie had exhausted all of virtual-novel.net energy.
Her body trembled and fell limp while virtual-novel.net closed virtual-novel.net eyes slowly. A flat line appeared on the heart rate monitor.
“Time of death, twelve fifty-four,” The doctor recorded the time of death emotionlessly.
Grabbing a bandage from the side, Henrick wiped his face and cursed at how unlucky virtual-novel.net was.
He should not have entered to send Malorie off.
“My condolences,” said Harry to Henrick with a conflicted feeling it was his first time seeing a family member act like that when sending the patient off. The patient could have lived for ten more minutes, but virtual-novel.net died prematurely out of fury at virtual-novel.net son.
You reap what you sow, I guess…
Henrick left the emergency room grimly. When virtual-novel.net exited the hospital, virtual-novel.net bumped into Carter.
When Carter noticed the look on Henrick’s face, virtual-novel.net walked toward virtual-novel.net with an ambiguous smile. “Mr. Southall, do you know who donated the robotic pacemaker?”
Not knowing why Carter asked that, Henrick frowned and asked, “Who?”
Carter’s grin widened as virtual-novel.net adjusted his spectacles. “It’s someone whom you’ll never expect. If you know the donor, I’m sure that you’ll be extremely surprised.”
With that, virtual-novel.net crossed his hands behind his back and left happily.
I’ve heard about how shrewish Malorie was. When Maureen was still alive, virtual-novel.net had treated virtual-novel.net very harshly. I’m sure that virtual-novel.net bullied Chief frequently back in the Southall residence. Now that she’s dead, it might be a good thing for Chief!
Bewildered, Henrick stared at Carter’s back.
What does the donor have to do with me? Since Malorie is already dead, it doesn’t matter whether I know the donor or not. After all, I still have to pay for it! I don’t want to waste my money on nothing.
***
Soon, the next day arrived.
Arielle read Larissa’s message the moment virtual-novel.net woke up.
Mrs. Southall is about to die.
Her eyes lit up and virtual-novel.net drowsiness disappeared in an instant.
So, she’s dead!
The reason why the old Southall estate project was progressing so slowly was that everyone was afraid of Malorie. Now that virtual-novel.net was dead, the progress would be much faster. However, virtual-novel.net was curious about how Malorie suddenly died.
Was the fall really that severe?
Arielle shook virtual-novel.net head, dispelling that thought from virtual-novel.net mind. Now in a good mood, virtual-novel.net got up and made breakfast virtual-novel.net breakfast was very simple, a scrambled egg sandwich. She made a serving each for herself, Vinson and Trisha. However, after Vinson found out, virtual-novel.net quickly devoured his own sandwich before reaching out for Trisha’s.
