Chapter 821 Falling Into Despair
With that being said, Nicholas nodded and wheeled around to take his leave. Hathaway’s shoulders
flopped as she sat on bed in despair.
Although it was the expected outcome when she first let off her steam on Tessa, she had not expected
karma to find its way to her that quick. Within two days, she lost her only daughter and had to forsake
her best student. Anyone could tell how devastating it was to her.
Standing next to Hathaway was Blaire, who was at the end of her wits. In order to divert Hathaway’s
attention, she suggested, “Miss Hathaway, why don’t we visit Kathleen first? You’ve been here for so
long, but you haven’t seen her yet.”
Hathaway was in a daze momentarily before nodding slowly. “Right. I haven’t seen Kathleen yet. She
must be hating me for not looking for her. Please help me with the discharge procedure.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlaire nodded and left to sign the papers after which they headed straight to the Rorion’s mansion,
where Kathleen’s coffin was placed in the middle of the living room surrounded by white candles and
floral wreaths. The moment Hathaway arrived at the scene, she staggered as it was too much to take in
with her own eyes.
“Miss Hathaway, are you alright?” Blaire quickly held her and asked in concern.
PlayvolumeAd However, the woman was so much in grief that she uttered nothing. Shaking her head,
she pushed Blaire away and teetered toward Katleen’s coffin. After taking a few steps, Rorion called
her, “Stop right there! You’re allowed to come, but not anywhere near Kathleen.”
He glared at her in resentment while mocking, “I just don’t get it. Kathleen’s gone because of you and
yet, how could you bring yourself to see her?”
His roar hit her sour part as her face turned ghastly. It was as if someone was piercing her heart with a
sharp knife; it hurt so much that she could barely breathe.
“I didn’t get to meet her during her last moments. Can’t you at least let me see her?” Her voice was
quivering and she was looking at him with pleading eyes.
A glint flickered in his eyes, for it was his first time witnessing such a sorrowful Hathaway. In the end,
he did not even know why he agreed to her request. “Fine. Go ahead.”
Hearing that, she scurried to the coffin anxiously while Rorion was watching her with a cold gaze. “By
the way, about Kathleen’s funeral, I’m planning on holding a huge one for her the day after tomorrow.”
Hathaway’s hands trembled and her knees went weak when she heard that. Fortunately, she managed
to stand on her feet by placing her hand onto the coffin.
Lifting her head, she saw Kathleen lying in it. If it was not for the knowledge of her death, Hathaway
would have mistaken that she was just sleeping due to her fine complexion; it was not that of a dead
person. However, Hathaway soon wrapped her head around the situation. Considering how much
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKathleen cared about her beauty and Rorion loved her, he would make sure to let her go in peace.
“I’m sorry. I’m really, really sorry. I’m so sorry…” That was the only thing Hathaway could say at that
moment. Grabbing onto the edge of the coffin, she burst into tears.
Meanwhile, Rorion was vexed to see her behaving like that. He snorted lightly. “What’s the use of
apologizing right now? You were helping the outsiders when your daughter needed you the most.”
As though she could not hear him, she reached out her trembling hand to touch her daughter for the
one last time. Yet, she heard Rorion nervous roar the moment she lifted her arm. “Stop! What are you
doing?!”
She flinched in surprise before answering in a quivering voice, “I just wanna touch her.”
“No. Just let her rest in peace. Don’t touch or disturb her. I bet she won’t consent to it either. Don’t
forget what you’ve done to her. Ever.”
The stream of flowing tears on her face showed no signs of let-up after she heard that, for she knew
how much Kathleen resented her during her last moments.
