Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 60

Julienne's departure was something I never anticipated. I was still in shock in my heart and couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, I asked with tears: "Bob, my mother..."

"She bled to death." Bob reached out and patted my shoulder, comfortingly said: "Emma, I'm sorry."

I closed my eyes: "I want to see her for the last time."

Bob helped me to the morgue. I reached out and lifted the white cloth covering her, and saw her look hideous and painful.

Julienne had been fighting with others her whole life, no matter whether it was a neighbor or anyone. All her life, she acted as she wanted and treated others in the same vicious way.

She always lied to put money in her one bank card, and she never spent too much of it. But all the money... What was the purpose of saving all that money? I blamed her, hated her, but pitied her even more.

I took her hand and shed tears and said, "Mom, you have treated me very badly since I was a child, and you have been beating and scolding me after growing up, so I hated you for many years. You never really had a place in my heart. And that day... I only said that I was your daughter anymore so that I could live a few peaceful days. I'm sorry."

She couldn't hear anymore. No matter what I said, it was useless. I reached out and wiped my tears and said, "Let's go and see my stepfather."

My stepfather is still in a coma. After all, Julienne was the woman he loved in his heart. It was a blow beyond description to him.

In fact, no matter how bad Julienne was, no matter how others hated her, my stepfather was the only man who would protect her.

Julienne has been very worthwhile in her life. She controlled the two men, 01' Shears and my stepfather, and she even beat and scolded them all she wanted. 01' Shears and my stepfather would not care about what she did to them and never even complained.

I told Jeanie: "No one will argue with you now. When your dad wakes up, don't speak ill of Julienne to irritate him. Help him get through this."

Jeanie said unpleasantly, "I don't need you to tell me that."

I went back to the ward, feeling distressed. Bob handed me my bag and said, "I just went to Elysia to collect evidence and saw your bag, so I brought it here for you."

I opened my bag and took out my phone to look at the time: "It's almost four AM already. You have to go to work tomorrow, so go back and rest."

"Zack told me to take care of you." Bob pared an apple for me and handed it to me to explain: "I will wait for you to sleep before leaving. Zack's still on the case."

I took the apple and said, "Charlotte's probably gonna turn herself in and confess everything."

Bob asked: "How do you know?"

"Charlotte is a lunatic. She is the kind of person whose sole purpose of life is her revenge. She killed my mother and wanted to kill me. She gave all of her property to the two men. She didn't even think about running away at all." I squeezed my phone tightly and said in fear: "If it weren't for Zack..."

If Zack didn't come to rescue me, then I...

I was literally on the verge of death, and my heart was full of fear. Bob didn't know how to comfort me. He suggested: "Emma, don't be afraid, do you want me to get September?"

I looked up and asked, "September still doesn't know about this, right?"

Bob explained: "I called her earlier but I couldn't get through. I can go to her house now..."

I shook my head and interrupted Bob and said, "Don't tell her about it. She's got s*it up to her neck herself too."

Bob nodded: "Then wait until she goes to work."

I nodded and said, "I'm gonna take a nap, you can go back."

"Okay, good night."

When I woke up early in the morning, my body was exhausted and sore. I opened my eyes in a daze and felt a terrible headache. I turned my head to see Zack sitting next to me and asked, "How are things going?"

Zack stretched out his hand to tidy the bedding for me, and replied softly: "Charlotte confessed and everything's over."

I asked anxiously: "Where are the two men?"

I could almost still feel how the two men kicked and beat me.

"They are in custody. This case will go to court and a specific trial will be held. Charlotte should be sentenced to death." Zack looked at me and explained: "She bought guns illegally, and... she's probably gonna spend the rest of her life in prison. But she's gonna get a mental check-up from a doc. If she's diagnosed with mental illness, she won't be sentenced to death."

"Zack, I..." I looked at him in horror, and guessed: "I am a psychology major. I can tell you for sure that she's got mental problems and she's most definitely paranoid!"

"Well, I will let you know the progress of the investigation." Zack stretched out his hand and rubbed my head, and said softly, "Don't get yourself too worked up by this. We can take care of the funeral tomorrow."

I was grateful: "Thank you."

According to the police department's regulations, Julienne's body was to be kept in the morgue for a few days before being cremated after the investigation by the police station was completed, but Zack said that it could be handled in the next day... He was always thinking about me.

"Zack, I have always been a little puzzled. Based on my knowledge of Charlotte, she wouldn't have accepted the compensation. She said that someone from the station threatened her. Was it you?"
