On the other hand, Walter didn't care much for Charlotte's whining. Instead, he was quite impressed with her.
This woman actually had the audacity to spit on him!
Charlotte cursed madly at him in her heart, yet she couldn't say anything.
What did this b*stard want to do to her?
Then, Walter brought Charlotte to the columbarium deep inside the cemetery and flung her onto the floor.
The cold floor made Charlotte shudder involuntarily.
Then, she looked up to see the many urns around her and it frightened her so much that she became pale with shock.
"Mmmm..."
She kept shaking her head at Walter.
However, Walter said with a smile, "Do you really think that you can escape unscathed after you provoked me? Let me tell you, if it weren't for the fact that you're Mango's best friend, I would have beaten you up so badly that even your parents wouldn't be able to identify you."
"You f*cking son of a b*tch!"
Charlotte glared angrily at him as she cursed Walter in her heart.
Walter seemed to know what she was saying, but he didn't seem to care at all and he teased, "I forgot to tell you, the custodian is on leave today so there isn't going to be anyone here until tomorrow. See, I'm being so nice to you. I didn't hit you nor did I yell at you, plus I even found some people to accompany you throughout the night. All right, I'll have someone pick you up in the morning. Have fun!"
After that, Walter got up and left.
Then, Charlotte completely panicked.
What did he mean?
Was this b*stard going to leave her here alone?
He wouldn't do that, right?
Charlotte struggled hard, but unfortunately, Walter had bound and gagged her. Hence, she became so hysterical that she started to cry, but Walter did not have an ounce of pity for her.
It didn't matter how pitiful she looked, Walter didn't want to help her at all. Furthermore, Walter had always thought that Charlotte was a domineering woman.
Would a woman like her be afraid of a cemetery?
Of course not!
Walter was satisfied with his own justifications and he left the cemetery soon after.
Meanwhile, Charlotte was extremely pissed off. If she knew that she would get herself into this mess, she wouldn't have come out in the first place.
The wind gradually became stronger as fear gripped Rainie's body.
"Boohoo!"
Who was going to save her?
However, no one had any idea about the situation she was in, and Zion, the main culprit behind her predicament, had already entered Rita's ward. He was quite overjoyed to see his sister.
"Brother!"
Rita cried out happily, but Zion quickly shushed her.
"Shh—"
He put a finger on his lips to signal Rita to be quiet before he gently tiptoed to the room where Mango was resting. Then, he felt very distressed when he saw her swollen face.
How was that the result of a cosmetic allergy?
Zion was full of suspicions as he walked out of the room.
Then, Rita grabbed his arm happily and said, "Zion, did you get anything nice for me?"
She couldn't help but be disappointed when she saw Zion empty-handed as she was far too bored in the hospital.
Then, Zion took out a small game console from his pocket and gave it to Rita.
"Here, I designed it myself. Let's see how many levels you can clear in this game."
"Is this for me?"
"Of course!"
Hence, Zion couldn't help but show his unconditional love for Rita.
Rita lay on the bed and she happily began to play the game.
After that, Zion looked around as he felt that there must be something that was making his mother unhappy.
Mommy wasn't a person who liked to dress up, and she didn't use much makeup even when she attended the award ceremony. So, why would she apply makeup while she was in the hospital?
Zion thought about this for a moment before he asked Rita nonchalantly.
"Rita, who else is admitted in this hospital aside from you?"
"An auntie is also warded here. I heard from grandma that she donated the kidney to me. Furthermore, grandma wanted to take that auntie in as her goddaughter, but I'm not sure if they really went through with it or not."
She replied Zion rather off-handedly as she wasn't listening too closely, but Zion was far more alert than her.
Then, Zion frowned.
"Where is this auntie staying?"
"Room 315, it's not too far away from here.”
Zion's eyes narrowed as Rita said that.
"Did Mommy go and see her before this?"
"I think she has. When grandma came to see me, Mommy had visited that auntie before she left to get and some apples for me. When she came back, she already had makeup on her face, but grandma said that Mommy got an allergic reaction to the makeup. Brother Zion, do you think that Mommy's face will have a scar?"
Rita finally lifted her head from the game console and she looked at Zion worriedly.
"I don't think so. Well, you can keep playing the game on your own, I have to be out for a minute."
Then, Rita pouted at Zion's words.
