"Darren, wake up! Darren!"Caroline's cry echoed from the room. Harry and Robert heard and breathed a sigh of relief.After all, none of them wanted to murder even if the subject person was in a vegetative state that was bedridden for years.At the balcony, Sonya held the urge to cry and hid at the balcony with Chad while eavesdropping.Harry and Robert entered the bedroom.Robert did a brief check on Darren and confirmed his death.Harry looked at Darren's body, feeling like a weight was taken off his shoulders. He comforted Caroline. "Caroline, I'm sorry. Please take care!""Harry, it's okay. I've thought about it for a long time. I knew this day would come, sooner or later. It's good that he's gone. It's a relief."Then, she started cleaning up Darren's remains.Harry helped as everyone remained in silence.After changing Darren into a suit, Caroline said, "I'll give Sonya a call and tell her to come home. Darren said he didn't want to be cremated."So we've bought a ce
Without a thought, Chad said, "I'm not in the Hall of Herbs. You can just tell me if there's anything.""Dr. Jennings, I heard you have great skills. I greatly admire you and I'd like to treat you to a meal."Before Chad could reject the invitation, Harry even told him the appointment venue."I'll await your arrival this evening, Dr. Jennings!"After hanging up, Chad slightly frowned and glanced at Darren's remains."Better not keep his body at home!"Sonya wanted to ask the reason but Caroline quickly responded, "Are they going to report on us?"Chad kept quiet. After all, burial was not permitted at that time.Once Darren's death was made known, the authorities would immediately come to the house and enforce the cremation of the body."Then what if the Walt family asked why we buried him in a hurry?"Caroline's concern made the situation chaotic. Sonya simply had an idea."Just tell them that the authorities from the neighborhood requested us to cremate Dad. We didn't ha
"Nope. It's only been a few hours."Chad said as he lightly twisted a few needles.Darren was perplexed. Before he asked, Chad explained, "I asked for a favor from my friend to get me an unclaimed body and got buried on your behalf."The morgues at crematoriums were used to store the bodies of people who died due to accidents.Some bodies were left there without even being claimed by their families.Through Fentanyl, Chad got such a body to trick Harry and Robert."Stay here at my place for a few days. We'll see when you're almost recovered."Chad then removed all the needles.Darren was utterly grateful. "Thank you, Chief Jennings!"Chad chuckled. "What Chief. I'm just an ordinary man."Darren smiled and teased him, "Out of the 99 doctors in the Mystic Pavilion, there's only one of the greatest. Eight years ago, the organization suddenly emerged and shook the medical industry. Chief Jennings, how are you an ordinary man?"Chad forced a smile. "Rest well. Call me if you need
Chad's and Matilda's divorce became outspread in Bloomington over the past two days.He heard many remarks of that such. Chad could not be bothered by those people and continued talking to the attendant."My reservation's at Sunny Winterland."After making verification, the attendant allowed Chad in. "Sir, this way please."As Chad was about to enter the restaurant, a handsome man stood before him."Don't go! Chad, I haven't seen my classmate for years. I wonder if you remember me!" "Sorry, I don't know you. Please get out of my way."Chad looked at the man and he was certain he did not know him."You may not know him. But I'm sure you know me!"Jojo walked up to the man and held his arm. "This is my boyfriend, Joe Willow. I'm sure you're no stranger to that name.""Joe Willow?"Suddenly, Chad recalled the man standing in front of him as the most handsome guy in Bloomington College.During their college years, Joe once pursued Matilda.However, Joe was a complete scumba
However, Chad remained silent, unwilling to explain anything. Bob also felt uninterested. He exchanged a glance with Joe, deciding to wait until more people arrived before teasing Chad. So Bob changed the subject. "Hey, have you heard? Danton from the Tatum Supreme Group has passed away!"Jojo was shocked. "How is that possible? I saw him yesterday."Joe chimed in, "Yeah! On our way here, Jojo mentioned she was discussing a partnership with Danton yesterday."Bob asserted confidently, "Is that so? But Danton died last night. My cousin is Gerard's secretary, so it is absolutely true."Now Jojo was unsettled. "No way! Why don't I remember anything?"How could she remember? Jojo woke up this morning and found herself already at the company.She asked Matilda how they got back. Matilda only mentioned that Bill from Sangrea Group gave them a ride back."Really? Could it be related to Danton's death… ""Stop that! Matilda and I were just discussing a partnership with Danton."Seei
"There's no Dr. Jennings here, but there's a Dr. Loser!" Joe joked as he glanced at Chad, feeling that Violet must have got the wrong place.Meanwhile, Bob saw that Violet's gaze had been on Chad since they entered the room. However, he could not believe it. After all, Chad was his college classmate. He was certain that Chad definitely was not any kind of 'doctor'! Moreover, back in college, only a few students took out student loans, and Chad was one of them. In the eyes of these people present, Chad back then was just a poor graduate without any family background!"Chad couldn't possibly be some kind of doctor. You must have come to the wrong place!""Hey, young lady, you're not looking for a Dr. Freeloader, are you?"The remark elicited laughter from the crowd. However, Violet ignored these remarks and went straight to Chad, speaking respectfully, "Dr. Jennings, Mr. Pulmano is waiting for you at the Golden Glasshouse. Please grace us with your presence."Everyone could not be
However, Bob could be certain that Violet was a cautious person. She could not possibly have mistaken the identity of the individual. So Bob confirmed that the 'Dr. Jennings' mentioned by Violet was indeed Chad. However, Bob had no intention of explaining it further. After all, it might only make things worse to delve into it. It was better to just admit to it.When he had the chance, he would ask his cousin Violet about it and naturally learn the truth."Haha, my apologies! I didn't expect you all to be so perceptive and see through my little trick. Dinner tonight is on me!" Bob laughed heartily, decisively owning up to the situation as he raised his glass."It seems I was right. You've been using Chad to hype up your internet celebrity status!" Jojo said proudly with a cold smirk."I shouldn't have shown off in front of you, Jojo. I'll drink to that!" Bob complimented, raising his glass and finishing its contents in one gulp.With that, the atmosphere lightened up again, with
The night was beautiful with its serene scene. A stone table sat under an old tree by the fence, a tranquil stream flowing through the small garden, all illuminated by the gentle glow of the full moon reflecting off the river. However, despite the picturesque setting, an unsettling air lingered in the atmosphere.Alexander's face, marred with the stains of death, twisted into a grotesque grin. The eerie scent in the air masked the stench of decay.Chad took a deep breath, composed as he stepped into the courtyard, casting a cold gaze at Harry and Robert."You have rather peculiar tastes, dining with corpses," he remarked coolly.Robert narrowed his eyes slightly, his left fingers swiftly moving in circles. Alexander stiffly rose from his seat, retreating to the dark corner of the garden."You have keen eyes to be able to spot my freshly crafted masterpiece!" Robert exclaimed.Chad glanced in the direction where Alexander had disappeared, then seated himself at the stone table in
