Chapter 220


    It was the neighbors who had called the police.


    Since an ident had urred in Coralie Chariott''s house before, the neighbor called the police when


    Skr arrived.


    Logically speaking, Yohan and Skr should have been brought to the police station, but Skr had


    suffered a gunshot wound, so they had to send him to the hospital first.


    Fortunately, Skr''s injury was not serious as the bullet didn''t hit his vital organs.


    After his wound was dealt with, Harvey went to the ward to see him. The first sentence he said was,


    "Skr, you and Coralie''s family are definitely like oil and water. I have never seen youing out in


    one piece every time you go there."

    It was Howard thest time, and this time, it was Yohan.


    It was a knife wound then, and now, it was a gunshot wound.


    Skr didn''t pay attention to him. After a while, he said, "I have to get out tonight."


    "Are you crazy?" When Harvey heard this, he immediately refused. "Even if you are not seriously


    injured, it doesn''t mean that you can leave the bed. Absolutely not!"


    Skrid there and did not resist. He said, "Save your breath. I must get out."


    "If you leave the bed now, the wound will definitely reopen. Don''t you even try it!" Harvey said.


    "It''s the first week after Coralie''s passing. Perhaps she''ll show up. I''m thinking of going to the dam to


    see whether she''lle back."


    Skr''s voice was full of sorrow.


    His eyes were looking at the ceiling. It seemed that he had yet to ept the truth that Coralie would


    nevere back again.


    "You..." Harvey lost his temper when he heard this. He scolded, "You''re going to be wasted because of


    her!"


    "I really hope I could die with her. In this way, we can finally be together."


    Skr had lost a lot of blood from the injury. Although he was slowly recovering now, he didn''t have


    much strength left. If he insisted on going to the dam in his current condition, another surgery would be


    waiting for him when he came back.


    Harvey didn''t know why Coralie died. He really thought it was not worthwhile for Skr to do all this.


    "Skr, to be honest, is there anything more important than one''s life?"


    "Ha."


    Skr couldn''t helpughing when he heard Harvey''s words, but his smile was aching with mncholy.


    He continued, "You''re right. What''s more important than one''s life?"


    "Stop ming yourself. Her death was an ident," Harvey said.


    "Harvey, Yohan told me today that the reason Coraliemitted suicide was because he forced her to


    remove my child. Shemitted suicide in order to keep the child. When I''m fully recovered, I''ll


    definitely kill him."


    Skr said slowly.


    However, Harvey picked up some clues in his words. He pointed it out, "This is illogical. At that time,


    she was already away from Yohan''s control. Why didn''t she run away directly? Why did shemit


    suicide?"


    Skr looked at him and seemed to see the point in Harvey''s words.


    "Skr, how are you?"


    Harvey wanted to say something.


    However, Lillian Ford, who came back from abroad, rushed to the hospital as soon as she heard that


    Skr was ill.


    "Mom, why are you here?"


    Skr didn''t expect Lillian to return to the country.


    The rtionship between Lillian and Anthony Hond was dreadful. To avoid having a conflict with


    Anthony, she went to the south ind for vacation with the excuse that the weather was too cold. She


    did it for her own good.


    She went on a trip after that and was finally back in the country that morning.


    "Why can''t Ie here?"


    Lillian was still well-dressed.


    She had never thought of herself as a member of the Hond family, so she pretended that she didn''t


    know of Grandmother Hond''s burial.


    "Please leave," Skr said.


    "Leave? Won''t you see for yourself, who cares about you except for me? I heard that you were


    attacked when you were at Coralie''s house, weren''t you? I told you she''s a jinx, bringing bad luck to


    her husband..."


    "Enough!" Skr shouted.


    Lillian had just returned from abroad, and no one had told her the news of Coralie''s death.


    She thought that Coralie was still alive. Seeing how Skr defied her, Lillian immediately said, "What''s


    wrong? You''re now severely injured because of her. Can''t I justin a little?"


    Harvey couldn''t stand it anymore and kindly spilled it to her, "Auntie, Coralie passed away a few days


    ago."


    "Passed...what?"


    Originally, Lillian did not understand what Harvey meant at the moment, but soon she realized what


    Harvey was talking about.


    "Auntie, please respect the deceased..."


    Harvey was respectful and courteous to Lilian, but he knew that if she went on talking, Skr would


    probably lose his temper.


    Lillian didn''t know why Coralie died all of a sudden, but she still lowered her voice and pretended to


    Although she said so, Lillian''s joyful expression was hard to hide.


    "You can leave now. You don''t have toe to see me anymore."


    There was no way that Skr hadn''t seen or heard how pleased Lilian was.


    She had always disliked Coralie, thinking that it was Coralie who stood in the way of Valerie''s marriage


    to Skr. Now that Coralie was dead, the biggest obstacle did not exist anymore.


    "Skr... I really didn''t know what happened to Coralie. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have said those words."


    Lillian still wanted to exin.


    However, Skr knew his mother too well. He squinted at Lillian with a cold expression. "I will never


    marry Valerie. It''s impossible in this life. You can go now."


    "Skr, she''s dead. Are you going to leave the Hond family with no descendants?"


    When Lillian heard the resolution in Skr''s tone, she was immediately displeased.


    Harvey pushed Lillian out and said while they walked, "Auntie, Skr needs to rest now. Don''t disturb


    him anymore."


    He took a long time to send Lillian out. When Lillian exited the ward, she grabbed Harvey by his arm


    and asked, "How did Coralie die?"


    "Auntie, please leave."


    Harvey changed his impression toward Coralie when he knew that she jumped into the dam to keep


    Skr''s child.


    On top of that, Lillian''s attitude had also sickened him.


    "Why are you all so mad at me? Can''t I just ask the reason? Forget it, I''ll go back and ask Valerie."


    Lillian saw that Harvey was simrly indifferent to her and her anger was stirred up again.


    Then she walked away.


    ......


    That night, with Skr''s insistence, Harvey used a special van and sent Skr to the dam. Skr sat


    in a wheelchair and got out of the car with its attached facility.


    At 12 o''clock midnight, Harvey parked the car close by and pushed Skr towards the dam. He


    glimpsed a faint light around the spot where Coralie fell into the water.


    Someone was praying.


    Harvey pushed Skr closer to that person.


    Yohan was there alone. He was muttering something while lighting up some candles.


    "Corrie, will you me me? I only want to be with you."


    "Corrie, did you remember how they all bullied me when I was a child? They told me I was fat and I ran


    slowly, so they didn''t want to y with me. You were the only one who didn''t refuse to y with me and


    even called me Yonn."


    "Did you know? I''ve been fond of the letter ''Y'' since then, and even mypany''s logo has a letter ''Y''


    in it."


    Skr and Harvey stood next to each other and were taken aback at the sight of it. After all, they had


    never seen Yohan behaving like this. Yohan, who looked sinister and scheming, was crying like a child


    at this moment.


    He was speaking in his standard ent.
