Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 678

Yvette saw this. Her eyes could not help but turn red. However, Lindsey seemed like she was possessed. She constantly reached out to take the small black wooden box, but every time she touched it, she would retract all of a sudden like she was electrocuted.

"Ms. Juhl..." Felipe Jipson was at a loss for words.

Lindsey had simply tuned out all sounds from the outside world.

‘Is this...Zayn?’ She asked herself in her heart.

She then denied it immediately. ‘No...no way! He's such a big person, so how could he fit in this box that’s only as big as my hand?’

‘It must be fake! It's all fake!’

However, her fingers were out of her control. She tried time and time again to grab that small box.

"According to our forensics team’s preliminary examination of the scene, Zayn did not die immediately during the explosion. He was trapped in the fire after the explosion because all escape routes were blocked."

Felipe's voice seemed to sound like it was coming from another universe. At first, his voice was very faint, but then it gradually became louder in Lindsey's ears.

‘So, that means he was burned alive because he can’t escape?’

Lindsey felt a sharp pain in her chest and could not breathe.

She opened her mouth, but she could not make a sound. The tears welled up in her eyes reacted faster than her brain and smashed on the floor of the police station.

For some reason, Lindsey recalled the time when she saw Zayn in the orphanage. He told her to take care of herself then. Was that when he realized what would happen?

However, she was so stupid and oblivious that she did not realize anything.

"Ms. Juhl, I'm sorry for your loss..."

As Felipe's last words fell, Lindsey suddenly snatched the small black wooden box from his hand into her own.

She then held the box firmly in her arms and her heart throbbed painfully, so much so that she could only squat down and shrink herself into a tiny ball.

It was as if the little box in her arms could somehow return to that living person again. Her tears fell in big drops and stained the concrete floor.

‘He said he’d come back to give me an explanation! He told me to wait for him!’

‘This liar!’

A low roar emerged from her chest cavity and resounded through the police station. The woman's heartbreaking mournful cry was absolutely horrifying.

Outside the window, the sun was setting and stained the sky with a bloody red color. A few lone birds swooped up from the trees and flew off into the distance. Lindsey's mental state did not recover until the afternoon of the next day.

Her body was weak to begin with, especially with all her injuries, so she could not maintain her lucidity after crying for a long time.

Lindsey was engulfed by grief, which made her faint at the police station. She was then taken to the hospital and only woke up again the next morning.

However, this time, Lindsey did not get up in a hurry, nor did she look at anyone in the ward. She just laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling with unblinking eyes. However, tears started to well up in her eyes silently, which overflowed and soaked her pillow.

"Mommy!" A child's voice sounded at the door.

Dezi was carrying his small school bag. He had not seen his mother, Grandma, and Sieben for days. They were all sick. He wanted to come to the hospital to visit them, but Uncle Shaun said he was too young to go to the hospital. It would be inappropriate.

The boy never knew why it was inappropriate, but now he seemed to understand.

He had not seen Uncle Soren these days either, nor had he seen his dad. Dezi asked his teacher to secretly call his dad to ask him to visit Mommy and Grandma on his behalf, but his dad's phone was always unanswered.

Instead, Uncle Quentin came to school to see him once. For some reason, Uncle Quentin broke down in tears the moment he saw him. Quentin held Dezi in his arms and buried his head on the boy’s shoulder while he whimpered and cried softly.

At that time, Dezi wanted to remind Uncle Shaun that "men shouldn’t shed tears so easily".

However, Dezi somehow only managed to clumsily wipe Uncle Quentin’s tears from his face. As he wiped them away, he also started to cry along with Uncle Quentin.

For some reason, Dezi just felt so sad at that moment because he could feel that Uncle Quentin was also very depressed and upset.

In the end, Uncle Quentin patted his head and apologized to him, saying that he should not have lost control of his emotions. However, when Uncle Quentin left, Dezi suddenly felt that Uncle Quentin looked so lonely.

Dezi never had such a feeling before.

At this moment when he saw his mother, Dezi felt that despair again.

Everyone just seemed so sad...
