Fortunately, Edmund's hug and steady heartbeat calmed her down gradually.
“Why did Flora do that? She can’t be so vulnerable that she would kill herself because of being blamed for drugging others.” Chelsea was confused. Flora had experienced a lot of things, and she seemed like a tough woman.
Edmund wore a stern look. “It must be Eric. He must have done something. Don’t forget that he picked up Flora and brought her home.”
“He is the murderer,” Edmund judged without any hesitation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was convinced that Flora was forced to death by Eric, although he had no adequate evidence. The police autopsy report would reveal the truth.
Hearing the word “murderer,” Chelsea snuggled closer in Edmund's arms. He gently stroked her slim back and said, “Don’t sleep in the nap bed tonight. Sleep with me.”
He didn’t want to sleep separately from Chelsea, and he was afraid that she would be scared after what had happened.
Chelsea was indeed terrified, so she did not refuse. She nestled in his arms as soon as she got into bed, which made Edmund feel bittersweet.
Diane fainted on the spot when she heard the news that Flora had jumped into the sea.
Although she had often argued with her, she had never thought that Flora would die.
After all, she was her mother, and it was fake not to grieve.
After she woke up, Diane, accompanied by the police and Eric, went to see Flora for the last time.
After the white cloth covering Flora’s body was lifted, Diane immediately fell to her knees and cried aloud. “Mum!” She could never have imagined that one day her family would be ruined.
Now that she was in prison with her father, and her mother had died, what was it if not a broken home?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEric dragged her up into his arms, and his tone was sullen as he comforted her, “I’m sorry for her. She will rest in peace.” The staff then pushed Flora away. Diane cried so hard that she almost fainted.
Eric stayed by her side, holding her firmly.
Diane slowly calmed down, tears in her eyes, and asked, “Why did she do this? Even if she tricked me, why would she give up her life? If the truth that she had drugged you is exposed, she’d be ashamed, right?”
Now that Flora was dead, Diane couldn't ask anything from her.
Eric consoled Diane, genuinely meaning to help her, “I'll do my best to ensure you suffer less. Since you were framed, you might receive a suspended sentence, and that would be great.”
Diane cried, “Eric, you’re the only one | can trust now. Help me, please.”
Asuspended sentence would be ideal,” Diane continued. Probation was usually not enforced afterward, as Sonya’s sentence was suspended last time. Diane believed that she could have a similar outcif Eric did something about it.
Eric couldn't resist smirking at Diane’s words. Reduce her sentence? A suspended sentence? She was so naive. He wouldn’t let her out since she was in the police station.
Besides, he had even gotten Flora killed. How could he save Diane?
