Chapter 220
It was the neighbors who had called the police.
Since an accident had occurred in Coralie Chariott's house before, the neighbor called the police when
Skylar arrived.
Logically speaking, Yohan and Skylar should have been brought to the police station, but Skylar had
suffered a gunshot wound, so they had to send him to the hospital first.
Fortunately, Skylar's injury was not serious as the bullet didn't hit his vital organs.
After his wound was dealt with, Harvey went to the ward to see him. The first sentence he said was,
"Skylar, you and Coralie's family are definitely like oil and water. I have never seen you coming out in
one piece every time you go there."
It was Howard the last time, and this time, it was Yohan.
It was a knife wound then, and now, it was a gunshot wound.
Skylar didn't pay attention to him. After a while, he said, "I have to get out tonight."
"Are you crazy?" When Harvey heard this, he immediately refused. "Even if you are not seriously
injured, it doesn't mean that you can leave the bed. Absolutely not!"
Skylar laid there and did not resist. He said, "Save your breath. I must get out."
"If you leave the bed now, the wound will definitely reopen. Don't you even try it!" Harvey said.
"It's the first week after Coralie's passing. Perhaps she'll show up. I'm thinking of going to the dam to
see whether she'll come back."
Skylar's voice was full of sorrow.
His eyes were looking at the ceiling. It seemed that he had yet to accept the truth that Coralie would
never come back again.
"You..." Harvey lost his temper when he heard this. He scolded, "You're going to be wasted because of
her!"
"I really hope I could die with her. In this way, we can finally be together."
Skylar had lost a lot of blood from the injury. Although he was slowly recovering now, he didn't have
much strength left. If he insisted on going to the dam in his current condition, another surgery would be
waiting for him when he came back.
Harvey didn't know why Coralie died. He really thought it was not worthwhile for Skylar to do all this.
"Skylar, to be honest, is there anything more important than one's life?"
"Ha."
Skylar couldn't help laughing when he heard Harvey's words, but his smile was aching with melancholy.
He continued, "You're right. What's more important than one's life?"
"Stop blaming yourself. Her death was an accident," Harvey said.
"Harvey, Yohan told me today that the reason Coralie committed suicide was because he forced her to
remove my child. She committed suicide in order to keep the child. When I'm fully recovered, I'll
definitely kill him."
Skylar said slowly.
However, Harvey picked up some clues in his words. He pointed it out, "This is illogical. At that time,
she was already away from Yohan's control. Why didn't she run away directly? Why did she commit
suicide?"
Skylar looked at him and seemed to see the point in Harvey's words.
"Skylar, how are you?"
Harvey wanted to say something.
However, Lillian Ford, who came back from abroad, rushed to the hospital as soon as she heard that
Skylar was ill.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Skylar didn't expect Lillian to return to the country.
The relationship between Lillian and Anthony Holland was dreadful. To avoid having a conflict with
Anthony, she went to the south island for vacation with the excuse that the weather was too cold. She This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
did it for her own good.
She went on a trip after that and was finally back in the country that morning.
"Why can't I come here?"
Lillian was still well-dressed.
She had never thought of herself as a member of the Holland family, so she pretended that she didn't
know of Grandmother Holland's burial.
"Please leave," Skylar said.
"Leave? Won't you see for yourself, who cares about you except for me? I heard that you were
attacked when you were at Coralie's house, weren't you? I told you she's a jinx, bringing bad luck to
her husband..."
"Enough!" Skylar shouted.
Lillian had just returned from abroad, and no one had told her the news of Coralie's death.
She thought that Coralie was still alive. Seeing how Skylar defied her, Lillian immediately said, "What's
wrong? You're now severely injured because of her. Can't I just complain a little?"
Harvey couldn't stand it anymore and kindly spilled it to her, "Auntie, Coralie passed away a few days
ago."
"Passed...what?"
Originally, Lillian did not understand what Harvey meant at the moment, but soon she realized what
Harvey was talking about.
"Auntie, please respect the deceased..."
Harvey was respectful and courteous to Lilian, but he knew that if she went on talking, Skylar would
probably lose his temper.
Lillian didn't know why Coralie died all of a sudden, but she still lowered her voice and pretended to
comfort Skylar, "Skylar, a dead person can't come back to life, don't be too upset about it."
Although she said so, Lillian's joyful expression was hard to hide.
"You can leave now. You don't have to come to see me anymore."
There was no way that Skylar hadn't seen or heard how pleased Lilian was.
She had always disliked Coralie, thinking that it was Coralie who stood in the way of Valerie's marriage
to Skylar. Now that Coralie was dead, the biggest obstacle did not exist anymore.
"Skylar... I really didn't know what happened to Coralie. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said those words."
Lillian still wanted to explain.
However, Skylar knew his mother too well. He squinted at Lillian with a cold expression. "I will never
marry Valerie. It's impossible in this life. You can go now."
"Skylar, she's dead. Are you going to leave the Holland family with no descendants?"
When Lillian heard the resolution in Skylar's tone, she was immediately displeased.
Harvey pushed Lillian out and said while they walked, "Auntie, Skylar needs to rest now. Don't disturb
him anymore."
He took a long time to send Lillian out. When Lillian exited the ward, she grabbed Harvey by his arm
and asked, "How did Coralie die?"
"Auntie, please leave."
Harvey changed his impression toward Coralie when he knew that she jumped into the dam to keep
Skylar's child.
On top of that, Lillian's attitude had also sickened him.
"Why are you all so mad at me? Can't I just ask the reason? Forget it, I'll go back and ask Valerie."
Lillian saw that Harvey was similarly indifferent to her and her anger was stirred up again.
Then she walked away.
......
That night, with Skylar's insistence, Harvey used a special van and sent Skylar to the dam. Skylar sat
in a wheelchair and got out of the car with its attached facility.
At 12 o'clock midnight, Harvey parked the car close by and pushed Skylar towards the dam. He
glimpsed a faint light around the spot where Coralie fell into the water.
Someone was praying.
Harvey pushed Skylar closer to that person.
Yohan was there alone. He was muttering something while lighting up some candles.
"Corrie, will you blame me? I only want to be with you."
"Corrie, did you remember how they all bullied me when I was a child? They told me I was fat and I ran
slowly, so they didn't want to play with me. You were the only one who didn't refuse to play with me and
even called me Yonn."
"Did you know? I've been fond of the letter 'Y' since then, and even my company's logo has a letter 'Y'
in it."
Skylar and Harvey stood next to each other and were taken aback at the sight of it. After all, they had
never seen Yohan behaving like this. Yohan, who looked sinister and scheming, was crying like a child
at this moment.
He was speaking in his standard accent.
