Yvonne opened her mouth in surprise as her intention was seen through. Then, she nodded heavily. "Yes, I want to know how Henry is now.”
"I knew you'd ask this when you woke up." Sam straightened his shirt.
Yvonne's eyes brightened up. "So, did you ask for me?"
"Yup." Sam nodded.
"Then...Then Henry’s now..."
"He's alright, but he was in shock after he found out that you might be dead in the sea of fire this morning. He sent people to look for you on the scene all the time," Sam said. "But your nanny's blaming herself."
"You mean Sue?"
"Yes, she thinks that it’s her fault. She shouldn’t have trusted that phone call. If she hadn't gone out, she wouldn’t have been knocked out and you wouldn't have been taken away. Then, everything else wouldn't have happened."
Upon hearing this, Yvonne's eyes turned red. "Sue..."
She didn't expect that her accident would have such a big impact on Sue.
Knock knock!
There was a knock at the door.
Sam got up to open the door and his assistant stood outside. "Sam, there's news on the scene. The fireman found a corpse in the corner of the burned warehouse."
"A corpse?" Before Sam could speak, Yvonne exclaimed. Then, she thought of something and asked nervously, "Whose corpse is that?"
The assistant took a glance at Sam.
Sam nodded.
The assistant then said, "It's unclear for the time being. The body was badly burnt. I can't recognize the face at all except for the fact that it's a man."
"A man..." Yvonne muttered these two words. It felt like her brain was struck by thunder. Just when she was about to feel better, her face turned pale again.
When Sam saw her in this way, a gleam of light flashed across Sam's eyes. "Why? Do you know who it i s?"
Yvonne’s eyes were hollow and her body was shaking slightly. She looked scared and it took her a long time for her to speak, "If I guess correctly, it’s my brother..."
"Your brother?" Sam raised his eyebrows and quickly reacted. "Is he the one who kidnapped you?"
"Yes, it's him..." Yvonne closed her eyes painfully.
She didn't expect Jason Frey to be dead and he was burned to death by the fire! 2
For a moment, Yvonne's heart was filled with sadness.
How could Jason die...
Wasn’t it true that scourge lasted for thousands of years? Jacqueline and Dominic had done so many bad things and they lived well. How could Jason die?
No matter how much she disliked Jason and hated him, she never wanted him to die.
Yvonne wanted to cry.
She raised her arm to cover her eyes and her tears slid down the corner of her eyes. The tears fell on the pillow, making it wet.
"Jason..." she called the name sadly.
Someone once said that the lights went out when a person died. At this moment, she could clearly feel that her hatred towards Jason had disappeared all at once.
Without hatred, the warm and happy memories of her childhood and Jason emerged gradually in her mind.
She regretted it, very much so. If he didn't hand Yvonne over to the human trafficker, would the ending be different? Would they still be close siblings?
Unfortunately, there weren't any what-ifs or medicine for regret.
