At that moment, outside the room.
All the Carter family’s disciples felt terrible after they witnessed that tragic incident.
For the next few days, the Carters rebuilt their mansion and increased its surrounding area's security. Security booths were set up every few feet around the estate, and a patrol team was initiated to guard the place.
Donoghue had escaped, but he might return someday.
So, everyone in the Carter family remained on full alert.
Suddenly, a slim figure appeared. She wore a face mask; sweat covered her forehead, and her bright eyes shone with worries.
It was Lily.
For the past two days, she had remained around the Carter mansion as she waited for Darryl's return. She had overheard the conversation between two Carter family's disciples that Darryl was on his deathbed. She was worried, and after some hesitation, she decided to see him.
"Stop! Who are you?"
Just as she arrived at the main door entrance, a few Carter family's disciples stopped her.
"I want to see Darryl!"
There was sweat on her face, and her eyes showed desperation.
The disciples checked Lily out, and one of them asked, "Who are you to him?"
His eyes were full of doubts.
After the Donoghue incident, the entire Carter family was on full alert. They would question any strangers they encountered on the family estate.
"I am his-"
Lily wanted to say that she was Darryl's wife. However, after a few words, she changed her mind and said, "I am his friend."
