"Rhea is dead?" A strange female voice sounded.
Elijah was stunned for a moment and looked toward the source of the voice.
A woman cin through the door leading to the backyard.
She patted the dirt on her hands and washed them before coming over.
He watched her every move until she approached him and hesitantly looked at Dominic.
"Uncle Dom?" Dominic took a glance at Lily and rubbed his nose.
"This is my apprentice." "Hello, I'm Lily," Lily greeted Elijah politely.
Elijah felt that nsounded familiar, but he was more shocked that Dominic introduced her as his apprentice.
‘was this an acknowledgment that this woman was his secret apprentice?! | didn't expect it to be a woman!’ As Dominic's closest
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrelatives, they knew about him taking in a secret apprentice, and of course, they also knew it was not their son.
They did not know who it was.
Dominic never said anything, and they weren't close enough to ask.
Now that he had openly admitted it, Elijah was quite surprised.
"Just now...
Did you say that Rhea is dead?" Lily picked up a part of the conversation.
"I heard a little from outside the door." "Do you know Rhea as well?" Elijah was taken aback.
He glanced at the old man's face before continuing, "Yes.
My wife and | saw it with our own eyes.
Her body was being carried out of an abandoned factory that had exploded." “You saw it with your own eyes?" Lily raised her
eyebrows, surprised.
‘Is Rhea actually dead? Did she die...just like that?’ After thinking about it, Elijah said, "However, | can't be sure.
After all, that person is burnt beyond recognition.
| can no longer tell who itis.” “Then, how do you know that it's Rhea?" "Her clothes! Mrs.
Moore was wailing, saying it belonged to her daughter, but they were also unsure.
The body has been taken away for autopsy.
They need to run stests before identifying who it is." Sighing, he turned to look at Dominic.
"But | feel like things aren't as simple as they seemed.
Isn't the timing of this accident too coincidental, right?" Lily groaned and did not speak as she lightly drummed her fingers on her

Dominic glanced at her, then at Elijah, before saying, "It is coincidental, but there are many coincidences in this world.
You can't make a judgment based on this alone." "You're right.
That's why | will wait until | hear back from the forensic doctor.
Also, I've already..." “You don't need to tellall this.
You can settle your personal grievances on your own.
I'm an old man.
| don't want to interfere with these things; you know that," Dominic interrupted him.
Elijah paused for a moment before nodding in response.
"Okay! As for Austin..." Initially, he thought that once he found Rhea, he would not only help avenge his son but also get the
antidote from her.
