Bruce, that despicable man, was finally gone for good!


    "If it hadn''t been for Evelyn testifying that he had conned her out of over a billion dors, Bruce would never have received such


    a harsh sentence. It was all thanks to Evelyn."


    Hertha sighed with a heavy heart, "Such a shame that Evelyn paid with her life for it."


    At the mention of this topic, Thssa''s breathing becamebored with grief. The intricacies and the reasons behind it all had


    be too tangled to exin or unravel.


    "Thssa, Hertha, dinner''s ready,e and eat," Astrid called out, carrying a tray of food from the kitchen.


    "Coming!" Thssa quickly replied. She took Hertha by the hand and they both made their way to the dining table.


    Hertha took a bite of Astrid''s braised green beans andplimented, "Delicious, sweet and tender. It really tastes different from


    what | get in the city."


    Astrid''s face beamed with a smile as she said, "d you like it, help yourself to more."


    She served another helping onto Hertha''s te.


    Today marked the day Bruce was executed by firing squad.


    After the execution, the police notified his next of kin toe and im the body.


    Lucy, upon seeing Bruce''s body lying on the gurney, could no longer contain her trembling body and burst into loud,


    uncontroble sobs, throwing herself beside Bruce.


    "Oh, Bruce, you heartless wretch, you''ve let me down your whole life, and now in your old age, you go and leave me first. Why


    did you have to abandon me?"


    "Mom, get over here!" Susan pulled Lucy away before she could touch Bruce. Panting with anger, she said, "Get a grip. He had


    AIDS, and there''s blood all over him. Aren''t you afraid of getting infected?"


    Lucy looked at Susan through tears, "You don''t understand. Ever since your father knew he was sick, he''s kept his distance, to


    avoid infecting me, we''ve never been intimate since. Even though he always talked about divorce, his actions were always


    protecting me. Susan, maybe you can''t fathom what it''s like to love someone, but your father and | shared true love. | was never


    worried about getting infected because | wasn''t afraid. | loved him, and if | did get infected, then we''d just die together. | never


    imagined he wouldn''t die of the disease but would leave this way."


    Lucy said amid sobs.


    Susan listened with a twisted face, unable toprehend her parents’ so-called love. As far back as she could remember, her


    parents were always quarreling.


    Bruce had countless affairs with other women. Lucy was clearly upset, but she never brought herself to divorce him.
