Chapter 614


    She was partly responsible during Monique''s death that year. If she came here brazenly like this, it


    probably meant that she had lived peacefully for the past few years.


    There was a trace of fear hidden on her face. She looked toward Josiah. It seemed like she wasn''t


    scared of Monique, but Josiah.


    What a joke. It turned out that Josiah still didn''t know about the truth of Monique''s death!


    "Miss Reid, I know you and Monique are good friends. But people can''te back to life after their


    death. Besides, aren''t people supposed to face forward and live on?"


    She actually spoke those words so openly.


    If I didn''t know her past, I would have thought that she must be an elegant and optimistic person.


    "One can''te back to life after death, but how does one die?" I looked at Josiah as Iughed


    derisively. "Josiah, have you ever wondered how Monique died?"


    "Miss Reid!" She probably didn''t expect that I would be asking Josiah directly. Chloe said urgently,


    "Didn''t Monique pass because she got worked up after your ident? It''s a long time ago. Why are


    you bringing up the past again?"


    Why did I bring it up again?


    I looked at her. My gaze fell onto her belly which was slightly bulging. I suddenly felt sympathy for her.


    After all, the child was innocent.


    "What''s going on?" Josiah asked as he saw that I kept my mouth shut.


    "It''s nothing. Josiah, you can find it out yourself if you want to know about it. You don''t have to ask me.


    Don''t get taken advantage of like a fool," I muttered.


    At the end of the day, Monique''s death involved too many people. Chloe deserved the worst, but if I told


    Josiah those words now, how much different would I be from her back then?


    We left home early in the morning and the cemetery was quite far from the city. I looked at Anne who


    was staring dazedly at the tombstone. I said, "It''s time to go home, Anne."


    Anne nodded as she nced over at Josiah. She hesitated a moment before she said, "Goodbye,


    Uncle."


    I was surprised for a moment while Josiah''s body stiffened. As if he was hypnotized, he replied,


    "Goodbye!" He sounded dazed.


    Anne and I walked down the steps of the cemetery. She was tiny, so she was slow. Atst, I carried her

    on my back instead.


    The stairs were so long, like there was no end to it. "Anne, did you like the uncle we met just now?"


    I knew Anne. If there was a stranger and I never introduced them, Anne wouldn''t have said anything.


    However, she called Josiah on her own volition.


    "I don''t like him much. But he feels different from the other uncles," the little fellow spoke with decorum.


    I couldn''t help butugh. They were blood-rted after all. I couldn''t avoid that no matter what.


    "Don''t you like that uncle, Mom?" she asked as sheid on my shoulder. She looked sleepy.


    Thinking for a moment, I shook my head. "I don''t like him, but I don''t hate him either. But he owed


    something to my most important person."


    "Oh..."


    She must be sleepy as a long yawn rang out.


    A ck Jaguar stopped at the side of the road. The window rolled down, revealing Josiah''s cold face.


    "Let me send you back!" he offered.


    I shook my head and refused, "It''s okay. It''s still early, I can take a taxi."


    I grimaced. I didn''t want to talk to her anymore. I said inly, "We''re fine on our own!"


    I frowned and I felt a little upset.
