Chapter 1876
“Chris, calm down! Keep her alive! The law will bring her to justice! Go check on your cousin first!”
Chris rushed to Toph.
At that moment, Toph seemed as if his soul had been drawn away. He clung to Harvey’s still-warm body, his face pale and his eyes staring blankly.
It wasn’t until Chris shouted at him and forcefully pulled him up that he saw the room filled with bloodstains, and the last string of tension within him snapped. The tears he had held back until then flooded out.
Jodie and the impostor doctors were arrested and taken into custody.
Outside the room, several police cars were parked.
Zuko stepped out of one, rushing over to give Toph a hug. “It’s all over now! It’s okay!”
At the same time, Harvey’s body, covered in white cloth, was carried out by the authorities.
Zuko was startled. Chris shot him a look and gently shook his head. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Zuko patted his brother’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. Our parents are here too… We’ll make sure justice is served!”
“I want to go to his studio,” Toph whispered. “I want to bring back the paintings he created…”
Zuko nodded, leading Toph into a waiting car. –
Cordelia and Zephyr rushed to Cumulus City. They found Toph sound asleep at the hotel, and only then did their anxious hearts ease a bit.
Cordelia sat by the bedside, tenderly caressing Toph’s head. He was curled up, almost wrapping himself entirely in the covers, trembling occasionally.
Her nose tingled, unable to hold back her tears. Toph had never slept like this since childhood. He was a carefree child, lying sprawled on the bed in a relaxed manner. He had only slept in such a sleep position, devoid of any sense of security, during the time when Renee attempted suicide…
Zephyr walked over, gently embracing Cordelia’s shoulders. “Let him sleep a little longer.”
Cordelia sighed and walked out with him.
Zuko and Chris had explained the situation’s ins and outs. Currently, Lina and Persephone were on Whitney’s island, and Daniel was bringing Maisie over to the hotel.
The successive occurrences deeply affected Maisie, filling her entire life with worry.
Daniel held her hand, comforting her gently.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
“I still can’t accept Harvey’s death…” she said in a low voice. “It’s too sudden. I…”
“Jodie will face the consequences,” Daniel said in her ear. “Everything will have its closure.”
“Everything?” Maisie looked up at him, sensing a multitude of unsaid words in his gaze.
Daniel smiled softly. “Maisie, I know you’re feeling uneasy now. But whatever happens next, you must gather yourself to face it.”
Maisie’s heart thumped as she cautiously asked, “There won’t be anything serious again, will there? Mr. and Mrs. Hamerton are here, and they’ll take things into their hands, right?”
Daniel hugged her, and she felt particularly attached to his warmth and the embrace.
He spoke in a low voice. “Just remember that I’ll stand by your side no matter what happens! Wilfred is rushing to the hotel and Aunt Whitney’s coming too. The truth will come out, not just for Harvey but for you too!”
“What?”
“Maisie, listen carefully.” Daniel took a deep breath, enunciating each word. “I’ve actually known your identity for a while now… You’re not your mother’s daughter. You have no relation to the Squires!
“Your father is Wilfred Newhouse, and your biological mother…” He looked into her eyes. “You’ve seen her in my aunt’s photo album!”
