Henrick must be joking. Perhaps he’s mad and is getting back at me!
Russell had enough of virtual-novel.net antics. He was their relative, and virtual-novel.net didn’t want to see Henrick being humiliated in public. He parted his lips to reveal, “Cindy, Shandie’s dead. I know it’s hard to take, but it’s the truth. My condolences…”
In fact, Russell felt drained.
After getting into trouble, his daughter had kicked up a huge fuss and refused to head to the City Hall to get married. Before leaving home today, virtual-novel.net had told the help to tie virtual-novel.net up before bringing virtual-novel.net there by force.
I wonder how she’s doing now.
Meanwhile, Cindy still refused to accept the truth. After all, part of the reason virtual-novel.net schemed and worked so hard was to benefit virtual-novel.net daughter. There was simply no way virtual-novel.net would accept Shandie’s death easily.
“No…” She retreated two steps back and shook virtual-novel.net head. “Impossible!”
Henrick lost all patience and announced, “You can see for yourself…”
Women are annoying. She’ll know when virtual-novel.net sees it for herself!
Cindy swallowed hard and went toward the coffin. She wanted to make sure Shandie wasn’t in the coffin.
Shandie won’t die!
Her legs trembled as virtual-novel.net made virtual-novel.net way to where the coffin was placed slowly. Her gaze landed on the coffin hastily before virtual-novel.net even arrived.
Shandie’s dead body was lying inside the coffin surrounded by flowers.
Cindy’s eyes widened in utter horror. Her hopes were shattered, and virtual-novel.net heart sank to the bottom of a deep, endless abyss.
“Shandie?”
It’s Shandie!
Reality hit virtual-novel.net like a thunderclap, shattering virtual-novel.net senses completely. Utterly drained of energy, Cindy collapsed to the ground. Russell instinctively tried to catch her, but virtual-novel.net slipped through his fingers and sank to the ground.
Russell asked in concern, “Cindy, are you okay? She has passed on, so take care of yourself. You and Rick are still young, you can give birth to another child to make it up…”
Obviously, Russell was bad at comforting others.
Cindy paled and glared at him. She wanted to yell that Shandie was virtual-novel.net biological daughter, but virtual-novel.net last shred of sanity told virtual-novel.net that the secret should remain buried.
If I reveal the secret, I won ’t get to live.
Russell did not know why virtual-novel.net was glaring at virtual-novel.net that way. He scratched his head in confusion. Ugh, Why did l even interfere in their family’s business?
Henrick took one step forward and said, “Get up. Don’t be an embarrassment.”
“Embarrassment?” Cindy finally snapped.
With bloodshot eyes, virtual-novel.net demanded, “Are Shandie and I are an embarrassment to you? Are we a joke to you?”
Henrick’s expression froze. Sensing the guests’ gazes, virtual-novel.net hissed, “What are you talking about? We brought Shandie up together, and you’re my wife. Of course, you’re not a joke to me. I’m upset that Shandie’s dead, but we’re both adults. We don‘t have to cry to show our distress, get it?”
