NovelEnglishPaul's mother was a director at a private hospital, specializing in plastic surgery, and his father was a renowned surgeon. With their wealth and status, it wouldn't have been difficult for them to control a woman like Dillon, who had no support or connections.
Keegan couldn't even bear to think about what this couple might have done to Dillon after she lost her husband and son.
Aldor was stunned. The thought of it was horrifying. Could people really be that cruel? But he felt that Keegan's theory might be close to the truth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn order to avenge their son and keep his memory alive, they might have transformed Dillon into their "son" and kept her close.
Why didn't she resist? Perhaps she tried, but failed. Or maybe she gave up, allowing herself to be controlled, believing it was ssort of atonement.
One of Paul's parents had passed away, and the other had been sent to a nursing hrecently due to worsening dementia.
After two years of freedom from their control, Dillon was diagnosed with a serious illness.
Since returning to Hustuabourg, aside from donating to the welfare hand regularly visiting the hospital, Paul often visited temples. Every time, she knelt down devoutly and made a donation, as if seeking solace in her final days. Perhaps she believed that her past actions had brought about the suffering that followed, and now she sought forgiveness.
Aldor felt that Keegan's story fit with the details they had uncovered.
"But after all she's been through, wouldn't she want revenge? She must hate them, especially knowing her colleagues died. How could she not wonder if the fire was an accident or something worse? Then why won't she admit her identity? If she cforward and exposed the person who bribed them, they could finally bring the murderer to justice." Keegan repeated his earlier thought, "Because her beloved, Paul, was burned to death." Aldor was taken aback, and Keegan explained further, "Paul is now a foreign national. Even if there's evidence that Darcie instigated the fire, do you think she'll be brought to justice? The laws over there might not even classify it as first-degree murder. The murderer could end up with just a few years in prison, maybe none if they find a good lawyer. Do you think Dillon would accept that? She doesn't have tfor a long legal battle. Even if she did, how could a few years in prison make up for being burned alive?" Aldor finally understood and whispered, "She wants to take revenge herself, doesn't she?" Keegan didn't answer. This was the only explanation that made sense for Paul's actions.
If her lover had suffered and died in such agony, even a death sentence for the murderer wouldn't be enough. Paul would want to end it on her terms. From this perspective, Keegan understood why Paul wouldn't admit her identity or cooperate with them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf Darcie and the others were brought to justice first, Paul would never have the chance to kill them herself.
Keegan had assumed Paul would cooperate with them, that regret over her past actions would drive her to jqin their cause. But they had underestimated the complexity of the human heart and overlooked the trauma Paul had endured.
Keegan recorded the conversation from dinner and sent it to Trevor with the message. "Receive the betrothal gift."
A few minutes later, Trevor responded with a dynamic sticker of a hen running around the yard, "clucking" after laying an egg. RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
