The Woman From Hell
Chapter 523

Chapter 523

I began replaying past scenes of Cecilia in my head and thought of the last time I saw her. I waswith Matthew at the time. I saw Cecilia and Jerome arguing about something on the streets from mycar.

Why did I not get out of the car at the time?

Why did I not get out of the car?

Had I stepped out of the car and walked up to Cecilia t o flash her a smile while telling her that I wasokay and I would live on even though my child was gone, would Cecilia still be alive now? 1

Things were not what they used to be. Matthew, who was by my side at the time, was dead.

They all died because of me.

It was all my fault...

I blamed my selfishness and indifference for their deaths!

I kept knocking my forehead against the ground, and Heidi hurriedly pulled me up. "Don’t do this,Miss Wanda."

Her voice carried a trace of a sob. I had recommended Cecilia’s restaurant to her and after diningthere a few times, she grew closer to Cecilia as well. She would often drop by Cecilia's restaurant tohave a chat with her in her free time.

How could anyone not like such a bright and kind lady?

"Wanda."

Someone called out to me from behind.

I turned around, my vision blurred by my tears. I could vaguely make out two male figures but Icould not see their faces. Even so, I knew they were Jerome and Xander.

When they approached, I emotionally grabbed Jerome’s arm. "Why did you hide it from me?"

Jerome's face was full of grief. "I couldn't bring myself to break it to you. This was what Ceciliawished for too. You had just lost your child at the time and weren't in a good state. We were allworried that you wouldn't be able to take it if we told you."

My tears fell like raindrops. She was really nice to me and would always put me first every time. Sheknew that I would not be able to live on if I learned about her death because no one would be ableto stand the consecutive loss of the two most important people in their life.

"She told me to place the child under your care. He’ll b e your child from now on."

Jerome grabbed my hand, his voice quivering even more as he spoke, "We haven't even named thechild

yet because we wanted to let you do it."

God knew how many times Jerome had practiced saying these words in his head before he wasable to smoothly deliver them to me under such grievous conditions.

I had chills all over my body and forced myself to smile. "Since she placed the child under my care, Ipromise not to let her down."

Having said that, I pushed Jerome’s hands away and stumbled outside the cemetery.

"Cecilia." My vision was getting blurry. "My Cecilia."

Why did she leave me behind all alone? Why did she leave first?

In the past, no matter how bad things were, I would always think that it was okay because at least Ihad Cecilia with me, so I was not alone in this world.

People would come and go, but only Cecilia would stay forever. I would always be able to see herevery time I turned around.

However, she was no longer around. I was alone in this vast world, drifting alone without a place toreturn to.

"Where are you going, Wanda?" Jerome chased after m e.

I licked my dry lips. "I-I want to..."

I wanted to go to Cecilia's house to take a look. I wished so badly that after arriving at her housedoor and knocking on it, she would open the door and smile at me, saying, "You're finally here,Wanda. I’ve missed you!”

"Where are you going?” Jerome asked anxiously.

I opened my mouth, blood and gas surging up to my chest.

Crimson blood spurted on the ground, and everyone's countenance changed.
