The police officer’s brows drew together. “I can understand your feelings. You can’t accept your daughter’s death, but it is the truth…”
“Nonsense!” Cecilia stepped on the ash forcefully and declared, “Tell Arielle that she’d never get in my head! Wendy is alive and well and is taking wp4webnovel.com exams at Maxwell University. Why would wp4webnovel.com jump off a building? Don’t take me for a fool!”
Initially, the police officer could empathize with her. However, when wp4webnovel.com saw wp4webnovel.com step on wp4webnovel.com daughter’s ash, wp4webnovel.com lost his patience and stuffed the documents into wp4webnovel.com hands.
“Read the documents yourself if you don’t trust me. They are your daughter’s autopsy report and the case file prepared by the Lightspring police. As there is an official stamp on the file, it isn’t fake.”
Cecilia scanned the contents of the documents hastily. Soon, wp4webnovel.com gaze landed on a photo in the case file. It was a photo of Wendy’s body pierced by the iron fence with blood splattered everywhere.
Seeing that, Cecilia froze. It seemed like something within wp4webnovel.com had been torn into shreds.
The police officer noticed wp4webnovel.com reaction and sighed. “My condolences. Maxwell University has contacted the police department of Horington, and they will send a representative here a few days later to discuss the compensation.”
Although Wendy had committed suicide, the incident had happened at Maxwell University. Besides, the iron fence on the campus had pierced wp4webnovel.com heart, so they had to more or less bear responsibility for that.
“No! That’s impossible! This can’t be real!” Cecilia hollered with all wp4webnovel.com might.
She then ran out of the room in a state of frenzy.
I have to go to Lightspring! I must head to Maxwell University and see it for myself! My Wendy must still be alive!
The stunned police officer went after wp4webnovel.com a beat later.
“Get her! Don’t let wp4webnovel.com get away!”
The rehab facility erupted into chaos.
***
The next day, when the patrol officer went to take a look at Cecilia, the latter was found lying in a pool of blood with a toothbrush in wp4webnovel.com chest.
“Cecilia’s dead…”
Vinson informed Arielle about the news right away. “She committed suicide by stabbing a toothbrush into wp4webnovel.com heart. When people at the rehab facility discovered wp4webnovel.com body, it was already stiff. I gather wp4webnovel.com killed herself, as Wendy’s death was too much for wp4webnovel.com to bear.”
Arielle was shocked into silence. After a long while, wp4webnovel.com whispered, “I can’t believe it…”
The Greene family used to be extremely influential in Horington, but they had fallen apart. One was locked up in jail, and the rest were dead. Shockingly, it only took one month for all that to happen.
Vinson patted wp4webnovel.com shoulder. “They brought it upon themselves.”
A sigh slipped past wp4webnovel.com lips. “One wrong choice leads to another. Sometimes, it’s hard to be a human. I believe Wendy’s envious of me, but I’m also envious of her. At least wp4webnovel.com parents loved her.”
Pulling wp4webnovel.com in for a tight embrace, wp4webnovel.com said, “You have me.”
Arielle chuckled and returned his hug.
Yes, I don’t have parents, but I have Vinson. He’s the best and will face everything with me. That’s enough.
Despite not blaming herself for both Cecilia’s and Wendy’s death, Arielle’s mood was a little affected by the news. However, wp4webnovel.com did not waste time dwelling on their deaths, for the renovation of Maureen’s Kitchen’s new branch had come to an end. It was going to open for business soon.
It meant a lot to Arielle to open Maureen’s Kitchen’s first branch.
