This was something she never saw coming. How desperate and hopeless must a person be to even consider taking his or her own life? Not only had Sarah killed herself, but she had also denied the child in her womb a chance at life.
Violette began to question Sarah’s accusations towards her. Sarah claimed that she had heard her voice at the time of her blinding... Could it be true?
Who was the real perpetrator behind Sarah’s suffering? Why was she being framed? Could it be Kaleb?
But Sarah was carrying his child. He had no reason to harm Sarah.
Could it... could the real reason behind Sarah’s torment be that the perpetrator was after her?! How else could she explain her voice being present when Sarah was blinded?
A cold sweat broke out on her back.
Mike arrived at her room carrying a bowl of warm soup. He found her sitting rigidly on the bed, and her eyes were vacant. She didn’t even notice him come in.
“Violette, what are you thinking about?” Mike placed the soup on the bedside table, waving his hand in front of her eyes. “You’re not still thinking about Sarah, are you?”
Violette snapped back to reality. She murmured, “Is she really gone?”
“Truly. The police have confirmed it. She drowned herself in the hospital bathroom.” Mike sighed, “It’s a terrifying thought. I could never do it. I’m terrified of death.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t always be clinging to Violette. He feared that his chronic condition might strike at any time, and being with her meant immediate help.
“Violette, don’t think about this anymore. Tomorrow, I’ll take you abroad. We’ll go clear our minds.” Mike held out the bowl of soup to her. “Eat something first.”
“It does have an impact. As far as I know, Violette and Elijah had another argument.” Melinda sneered, “Many couples break down due to constant quarrels. Elijah is tolerating her now because of the child. I wonder how long she can continue to be pampered! After she gives birth, she will lose her figure, and if she doesn’t change her temper, Elijah won’t give her the time of the day.”
“Melinda, you are right, but I don’t want to leave her alive.” Nora’s face darkened. “Once she’s dead, Elijah might start missing her and see me as her substitute.”
After a few seconds of silence, Melinda said, “Perhaps we can team up with Alexa. If something happens, we’ll have someone to take the fall.”
A day later, at a subway station in B Country, Ian noticed someone tailing him. He pulled his hat low and quickly ducked into a nearby diner. Immediately, he pressed the red button on his wristwatch.
Two seconds later, Mike’s watch emitted a sharp alarm.
