The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1821 Stop Being Such A Busybody

“Susan, you’re here!”

Unexpectedly, one of the girls from the dorm recognized Susan and ran toward her with red-rimmed eyes upon

noticing her arrival.

Susan froze for a moment, but she soon remembered who the girl was since she had a good memory.

“Oh, it’s you. You’re the girl who always hangs out with Zaylynn, right?”

“Yeah, we’re besties. Susan, we all ate the food Zaylynn brought, and we’re still alive and kicking. I don’t believe

Holly died because of the food!”

“Yeah! Everyone in this dorm room ate the food, but we all didn’t experience any discomfort at all!”

Susan was surprised to see so many of them defend Zaylynn. I guess Zaylynn is quite popular among these girls.

She tried to console all the anxious girls. “Calm down, girls. Let’s find out more about the case first, okay? We’ll be

able to analyze the situation once we’ve gathered more information about it.”

Susan even assured them, “I want you girls to know that I’ll be able to help Zaylynn if she really is innocent. You

have my word.”

After hearing Susan’s words, the few girls fell silent for a moment. Then, they gave Susan a better picture of the

incident.

The previous night, after dinner, someone had brought the leftovers to the dorm. The girls had all gotten excited

and started munching on the drumsticks and burgers.

As for the deceased girl, Holly Halford, she was actually not from the same faculty as them. She was a computer

science student, and she had come to their dorm to look for a friend.

“Since she was at our place, we offered her our food. It’d be awkward if we didn’t do that, wouldn’t it?”

“Yes.” Susan nodded in agreement.

“So that was why we shared our food with her. But somehow, she felt sick soon after she left the dorm. We ate the

same food, but nothing happened to us.”

The girls started to get agitated again.

Susan knitted her brows. That’s strange. They ate the same food, yet the girl named Holly was the only one who

lost her life because of it. How strange.

Susan then left the dorm.

While she was on her way to meet Ian and Timothy, she bumped into Yasmin, who had just returned to the campus.

With a backpack on her back and a stack of revision materials in her hands, Yasmin entered the dorm with a

solemn expression on her beautiful face.

“Good morning, Yasmin. You’re early today.”

Yasmin stopped in her tracks and looked at the dormitory warden who had greeted her. She asked in frustration,

“Why are our classes canceled? Did something happen?”

The warden immediately inched closer after hearing Yasmin and whispered, “Haven’t you heard the news?

Someone from your faculty died.”

“What?” Yasmin’s expression changed abruptly, and she blanched at the warden’s words. “W-What do you mean by

someone died? Who died?”

“A girl from the Faculty of Computer Science. She died after eating a burger that Zaylyann brought to the dorm last

night. You would have been in danger had you been here last night. Thank goodness!” The warden was relieved

that Yasmin was away the previous day.

Yasmin continued to keep mum.

It seemed that the news had shocked her to the core. She hugged the books close to her chest and froze right

there for quite a while, her face shockingly pale.

Susan walked over and stood in front of her. “Yasmin, you just got back?”

“It’s none of your business,” Yasmin said.

Since the fallout they had two days ago, Yasmin no longer had to put on a facade to pretend to be nice. She could

finally show her true expression.

However, was that a facade of Yasmin?

It did not seem like it, as she really thought she saw some hope during the few days.

“I’m trying to investigate the homicide case that involves Zaylynn. Students staying in this dorm, including you, are

potential suspects,” Susan explained patiently.

Upon hearing that, Yasmin unexpectedly let out a mirthless laugh. “Suspect? Do you think you’re a cop? Who are

you to question my whereabouts? Stop being a busybody!”

Susan knitted her brows and decided to ignore Yasmin.

No longer looking at Yasmin’s unpleasant face, Susan walked up to the dorm warden.

She suddenly pointed at a tiny black dot near the window frame of the room where the dorm warden stayed and

asked, “Madam, is that a surveillance camera?”

The dorm warden’s expression changed. “Um…”

“I won’t tell anyone about it. Don’t worry, madam. I merely want to check the surveillance footage to find out what

exactly happened when the person brought the food over last night,” Susan assured her, as she knew why the

warden panicked as soon as she saw the latter’s expression.

Obviously, the warden had secretly installed a surveillance camera in the common area to monitor students in the

dormitory so that she could slack off. In fact, the school authority had forbidden the installation of surveillance

cameras in the female dorm because it was a violation of students’ privacy.

Yet, that warden had gone against the regulations and installed a surveillance camera there. Not only that, she had

even aimed the surveillance camera directly at the interior of the building.q
