“Hey, Chloe! I’m here!”

When the devastated and ready-to-die Thomas heard Chloe’s yells, he immediately perked up.

At the same time, she saw his tear-stained face and hugged him tightly. “Thomas, how could those people be so mean? My mom has been dead for years, so why did they want to steal her ashes? Can’t they just come at me if they have anything against her? I can’t take it. I… I just want my mom to rest in peace!”

Her words resembled a mountain weighing on Thomas’ heart. This is all because of me. If I hadn’t offended the three great families, her mom’s ashes wouldn’t have been stolen.

If Chloe was sad, he was thousands of times more devastated than her!

“I’ve let my mom down. Zachary still doesn’t know about this. He will blame me too if he finds out. I failed to take care of Mom!” Her tears poured like rain. She could not remember how many times she had cried like this. It seemed like crying had become natural for the past two days, just like breathing.

After hearing what she said, Thomas felt extremely depressed. He did not know what to say and could only raise one finger to tap on several acupoints on her body, making her fall asleep. If he let her cry any longer, she might go blind.

“Phew!”

Wiping away the tears, he rose to his feet and violently shook his head, forcing himself to forget those thoughts. Then, he called Olivia. Though it was already midnight, he still had to make sure she was safe.
