Chapter 524

Jerome leaned down to pick me up, saying urgently," Xander, get the car. Quick."

Xander nodded before dashing out of the cemetery with a pale face.

"Why did you bring her here?" Jerome glared at Heidi." Were you trying to kill her?"

Heidi sighed. "You can't lie to her forever."

Jerome gritted his teeth. "I would've lied to her forever if I could.”

I passed out before the car arrived at the hospital. I figured it was pretty good to just keep sleepinglike this because then, I would not feel any more pain, experience any more deaths, nor loseanyone important to me.

Nevertheless, I still woke up to face reality.

The white of the hospital ceiling was too dazzling to look at. Everywhere around me was dazzlingwhite. I turned my head to look at Jerome standing next to my bed. "How did she die?"

Jerome did not expect that I would ask such a difficult question as soon as I woke up. Heimmediately looked as though he was put in a trance.

"Stop asking, Wandy.” Xander came over to tuck the blanket for me. "What you need now is rest."

"I want to know." I insisted.

Xander lowered his head and fell silent. Jerome pushed him. "Go and buy something to eat."

When Xander left, he sat on the chair and held his head in both hands while muttering, "On the dayof your accident, Cecilia was brought to Whaldorf City by someone and left there. It was too hot that

day, so she fainted on the streets from heatstroke. Xander brought her back and I gave you a callbut someone kidnapped you when you left the house.”

I knew all this.

Jerome took a deep breath. "Cecilia didn't know about these things at first but someone told her thatyou left the house to replace her, which gave Petra’s men the chance to take you away. They also toldher in detail about the things that happened to you after you were taken away. Cecilia blamedherself, and her mood became really unstable. Coupled with the fact that she wasn't able to seeyou, she got into an accident."

I clenched my fists. "And then what?"

"On the way to the hospital, she had a feeling that she might not be able to make it, so she told meto let you raise her child if anything happened to her. She also wanted me to keep this from you andonly tell you after the child is able to walk and talk."

I could not help but cry again. As soon as I imagined Cecilia's face when she said her last words toJerome i n the ambulance, I felt grief and terror overwhelming me.

When I had cried enough, I took the tissue paper that Jerome handed me and wiped my face. I saidin a hoarse voice, "Do you know who told her?"

Apart from Matthew, the ones who knew the details of what had happened back then were Petra,Grayson, and Cindy. Matthew would never do such a thing, so it must be one of the three.

Besides, only the three of them were capable of resorting to underhanded tricks like that.

"Mason's assistant," Jerome coldly said.

After a pause, he clenched his right fist and continued, "That woman's name is Nadia Sherman."

Nadia Sherman?

I tried jogging my memory and recalled the woman who sat next to Mason at the clubhouse.

Jerome gritted his teeth. "She approached Cecilia, and Cecilia started acting weird after theirconversation. I asked her what they talked about and all she could tell me was some generalinformation.

"Oh by the way." He suddenly remembered something. "Cecilia also told me not to tell Mason aboutthe child.

It's best if he never replaces out."

Nadia was Mason’s assistant and Benny's cousin. The faces of many people emerged in my head.What role did Mason play among these people?

Mason...

Seeing that I was in a daze, Jerome asked worriedly, "D o you still feel unwell, Wandy?”

I came back to my senses and shook my head. "I'll investigate this."
