After a moment of contemplation, Dorothy took a deep breath as if she had reached a decision. She pushed down all her emotions and retrieved her phone to call Wayne. Wayne wasn't cold-hearted enough to ignore the call. The phone rang for only a few seconds before he answered.
Wayne said, "Hello." Dorothy's fingers trembled slightly as she gripped her phone, particularly at the sound of Wayne's calm voice. It felt like a knife twisting in her heart, intensifying the sense of injustice over her daughter's death. She tried to calm her voice. "The verdict was out. Do you know?" Wayne was silent for two seconds before he said, "I know, my condolences." Hearing this, Dorothy laughed, and then she cried while laughing.
Dorothy said, "Wayne, that was our daughter. How can you be so calm?" "What do you wantto do? Should I weep at her grave or commit suicide to join her? Would that satisfy you?" Wayne's words were heartless and carried a hint of anger.

No matter how sorrowful or distressed we feel, they will not return. However, for those of us who are still living, we must continue moving forward. Don't you agree?" Just listen, how grandiose yet cold-blooded and selfish those words were.
"Yes, you're right." Despite the tears streaming down her face, Dorothy's voice was eerily calm. "I've lost everything now. My daughter is dead. Wayne, what should I do?" Dorothy was once married to Wayne, back when her parents were still alive, and she had her own home.
Now, her parents had passed away one after the other. Her older brother had inherited her family's wealth.

Before he went, he could never have imagined what awaited him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe address Dorothy gave was quite remote, an old villa district.
Wayne sat in his car, gazing at the old villas, and suddenly felt a wave of nostalgia. He recalled the twhen he and Dorothy had lived there, and they had been very happy together. Unfortunately, Dorothy had injured her body when giving birth to Valerie and could no longer have children. Otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up divorced. If only Dorothy could have given him a son, there would be no place for Alexander and the others now.
