Chapter 456
Isabe and James took a bus to Michael’s vige early the next morning. Because the vige was
smaller than they had anticipated, they needed little effort to get the information they needed.
An elderly woman was mending hers beneath arge tree near the vige’s entrance. She nodded
to the vige, “Go ahead, his house at the far east end of the vige. You arrived just in time! They
haven’t been here ina long time and came back recently.”
Isabe became depressed as they approached Michael’s house. She remained silent and worried.
“Michael’s left. Why do you need to see him?” Asked the woman drying her fis at the door, her
straw hat covering half of her face. She looked at them both warily.
Before Isabe could say anything, James said, “We’re here to pay back the money. Michael helped us
when we were in Birmingham. We’ve saved some money now that we’re both working, and we’d like to
repay him.”
James then took a wad of cash from his bag. The woman was no longer wary at that point and
immediately invited them inside.
And James added, “We borrowed money from him previously, but he keeps the notes. So, we still need
to see hi in person.”
The woman nodded but then frowned and sai
“He never told me that. He left before dawn today, and | have no idea why he went out. So I’m not sure
when he’ll be back.”
“It’s fine, we can wait.” Isabe gave James a wink. When James 455 Your Dad Is Dead realized what
she wanted to do, he rolled up his sleeves and asked, “You’re going to dry the fish in the sun, aren’t
you? Let me help you.”
The woman thanked James with a smile. Soon, Isabe crept into a room while they were busy.
Theyout of the house was very traditional. It had two bedrooms on opposite sides, a living room in
the middle, and a kitchen at the back. Isabe walked through the two bedrooms and seemed upset.
“What’s the matter?” When James realized she had spotted something, he asked her as he took a
break
Isabe leaned against the edge of the kitchen door, her arms crossed across her chest, saying, “I just
noticed a family photograph in the room to the left. We happened to meet the girl in the picturest
night.”
While tracing the shape of Sabrina’s haircut on his head with his hand,
James asked, “Do you mean…”
“Well, | remember the man called her Sabrina,” Isabe replied, understanding what he meant.
“Madam, please allow me to help you,” James said after a brief pause.
The womanid the fish on the floor after James carried them out of the small storage shed next to
him.
While they were busy working, James asked in purpose, “I heard Michael say that you have a daughter
named Sabrina. She’s not here, is she?”
“Sabrina sometimes stays at her friend’s house. She hasn’t returned since yesterday, so she would
maybee back home this afternoon. I’ll ask her to cook for youter. She is an excellent cook.” The
woman missed the hidden meaning in his question. When the woman mentioned her daughter, she
looked happy and proud, breaking Isabe’s heart. 455 Your Dad Is Dead
They eventually got all of the fish out of the warehouse. When James was about to take a break, he
heard someone shout from the doorway, “Something terrible has happened to Michael!”
When they arrived at the hospital in Sun Town, Michael had been dered dead. When Michael’s wife
saw the white cloth covering her, she was devastated. She passed out before she could even touch
him with her trembling hands.
The man who brought Micheal to the hospital said to them, “You better not look at him.”
Isabe didn’t even dare to look at him. While James lifted the white cloth to make sure the man wasn’t
Micheal before vomiting for ten minutes by the sink.
“It’s him,” James confirmed.
“What a coincidence!” Isabe said, handing him a tissue.
“That’s spooky.”
Micheal’s body was discovered by a man on the road from the vige to Sun Town. He was involved in
a car ident. And Micheal had stopped breathing when the man discovered him. Unfortunately, there
was no surveince along that stretch of road. Michael left the house early in the morning, so no one
knew what had happened to him.
Awhileter, a doctor entered with a sealed stic bag containing Micheal’s keys, wallet, and mobile
phone. His wife was simply too frail to grasp it. So, Isabe took the bag for her, and then something
struck her.
“Do you know Michael’s mobile phone password, Ma’am?” She asked Michael’s wife.
After getting his password, Isabe unlocked Michael’s phone. Then already shattered screen glowed
faintly. Isabe clutched that phone 455 Your Dad Is Dead tightly after seeing his text message.
She was conflicted, and she wasn’t sure what she was thinking. She dropped the phone and stormed
out of the hospital, furious.
Sabrina sent Micheal hisst message at 3 a.m. She told him she was in love with a married man and
was eloping with him.
Micheal responded at 3:05 a.m., saying, “Wait for me, III be right over there.”
Isabe’s eyes were filled with tears. She could imagine his terror as he walked down that dark night
road and his desperation when he was hit byacar.
Isabe’s entire body shook as she took a taxi to the hotel. As sad as she was, James gripped her
hand tightly.
Sabrina had already left by then. When Isabe asked about it with the hotel receptionist, the cleaning
lady who had just finished cleaning their room sniffed aside and said, “I thought I heard the girl say she
was taking the 3 p.m. train when | went to clean the room.”
At forty past two, Isabe and James arrived at the train station. The waiting room at the railway station
there was quite small, and they quickly spotted Sabrina. However, the situation was not what they had
anticipated.
Sabrina was sobbing. She dragged the man’s luggage around with both hands, refusing to let go. She
shouted, “You promised to take me with youst night!”

“I came here to see you yesterday to clear things up with you. You said some stupid things after getting
drunk. | only asked you toe here to say goodbye, but | didn’t promise to take you with me.”
The man became enraged when he realized Sabrina was still tugging on his luggage, and she
appeared very persistent. She didn’t seem to want 455 Your Dad Is Dead to do anything other than
follow him.
Then the man pped her across the face with all his might. He yanked at the luggage to leave as she
sat on the floor.
“Stop, you bastard!” Isabe yelled angrily as she walked quickly towards them. She quickly
approached them, picking up the warning sign on the ground. She pped the warning sign hard on
the man’s head before he could react.
The man staggered and almost copsed. “Who the hell are you?” he asked.
Sabrina was stunned, and she quickly became enraged. She had Isabe’s hair in her grasp and was
about to hit her.
“You’re a bastard, too!” Isabe pped her, waving her hand and blocking her attack.
They were both perplexed. Isabe pped Sabrina again just as she was about to fight back.
“Your father is dead,” Isabe yelled through the chaos.
