Chapter 226 I Should Be Crying

Did I kill her?

Finished

Owen’s head buzzed like a hive of bees, his whole body feeling like his soul had been yanked out.

Lily was also kneeling on the ground, head tilted back, her face hollow and empty, like something had been scooped out of her.

She felt numb. She didn’t even know what she was feeling.

She was a little sad, but somehow, part of her actually felt relieved.

Relieved that no one would fight with Elsie anymore. That from now on, all the Saunders family’s resources would go to Elsie.

But when she realized she had thought that, it felt like someone had smashed a stick over her head. Panic surged.

The only sound echoing in the morgue was Elsie’s loud sobbing. She kept trying to help Lily, then Owen, stumbling between the two.

But she couldn’t lift either of them.

Both of them were like people in shock, collapsed on the floor, their faces frozen in grief and numbness.

He wasn’t related to Yunice, but he had spent just as much time with her as anyone in her family

had.

Paul had gotten used to her being around. And now these people were telling him she was gone.

Paul felt like he was being heartless. Maybe he really didn’t love Yunice anymore.

It was the only way he could explain why everyone was grieving so deeply while he felt nothing at all.

with disappointment, and walked out without saying

“A whole family! A real brother, a real mother, and never mind those two outsiders–none of them even pulled back the sheet to see if it was really her!”
