"I know, but I just want to see my mother one last time. Please, let me in.""Madam Regina is gravely ill. She can't even get out of bed to see you."Zyla's face paled with worry. "What did you say? My mother is sick? How did this happen?""Didn't you hear about Mr. Morris and Mr. Daniel's plane going missing?"The guys in the family hadn't instructed anyone to keep the news a secret. So Penny casually brought the topic up, hoping to make Zyla leave. However, Zyla was stunned when she heard Frederick and Daniel's plane gone missing. Her vision darkened, and her mind went blank.Dazed, she took a while to process the news and stumbled a few steps backward.She wondered where their plane had gone.Did that mean the plane crashed and they hadn't been found yet?She didn't understand how this could happen.Before she could ask anything more, Penny had already turned away, leaving her alone.She stood there with tears streaming down her face.Unable to believe what she had ju
Zyla was convinced it was Royce's doing.Royce wanted to ruin the Morris family but lacked the means to do it directly. So, he decided to first target Frederick and Daniel.While the Morris family was grieving their losses, he planned to strike back.Zyla thought it had to be that way.She gritted her teeth as her eyes turned red. She then shouted at him, "I'm not listening to you anymore. I thought you only wanted to reclaim your power, but I never expected you'd go so far as to kill my dad and Daniel. Royce, I know you're the one behind this. I'm going to tell Calvin. Your scheme won't work!"With that, she hung up the phone.She immediately tried to call Calvin, but one of the bodyguards sitting in the front suddenly turned around and snatched her phone away.Zyla was stunned. "What are you doing?"The bodyguard said, "Duchess, Duke Evans has ordered that if you show any signs of disloyalty to the duke, we must take immediate action to control you."As he finished speaking,
That night, Margot stayed by Regina's side and didn't leave.In the middle of the night, she fell asleep with her head resting on the bed.Suddenly, Regina, who was wearing an oxygen mask, regained consciousness and opened her eyes.As the room was brightly lit, Regina could clearly see Margot by her side.She wanted to say something, but seeing Margot asleep, she couldn't bear to disturb her.So she just quietly gazed at her. Mustering the strength to lift her hand, she gently touched Margot's pale and delicate face.Feeling the touch, Margot woke up in alarm.Seeing Regina awake, she excitedly called out, "Mom, you're awake! Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat or drink? I can get it for you."Hearing Margot calling her "Mom" brought tears to Regina's eyes. A faint smile appeared on her pale, aging face.It was comforting.Being able to hear Margot call her "mom" before she died, she felt she could die without any regrets.Summoning the last of her strength and con
Natalie didn't understand why all of this was happening.She had just married into the Morris family, and now, Frederick and Daniel were missing, while Regina fell ill and passed away.She wondered if she was a jinx.How could all these terrible things happen at once?She didn't know why this was happening to her.Natalie wept uncontrollably at the bedside.Soon, the household staff and the doctor rushed over.But their presence was of no use. In front of everyone, the doctor officially declared the death of Regina.Margot was devastated upon hearing the news of Regina's death from the doctor and fainted.Natalie quickly instructed the doctor to carry Margot back to her room. She forced herself to manage her grief and focus on making arrangements for Regina's funeral.Luna kept her composure. She hurriedly left the room and called Gabriel while wiping her tears.It was three in the morning. Gabriel, who was in Emeria, was worried to receive Luna's call. "What happened? Is so
By the time Curtis and the rest arrived in Amberville, it was already the next morning.Calvin and Anthony rushed to see Regina.The two brothers fell to their knees at the doorway and crawled on their knees to Regina's bedside. Holding her cold, lifeless hands, they cried uncontrollably.Curtis also approached Regina's bedside. After grieving briefly, he quickly stood up to check on Margot.Stanading at the side, Natalie and Luna couldn't hold back their tears either as they watched the two brothers sobbing on the floor.Seeing the brothers sobbing in remorse, Natalie stepped forward and pulled Calvin up before embracing him tightly."Cal, the dead can't come back to life. Please stay strong. I'm sorry. It's my fault for failing to look after Mom."Calvin looked up with a dazed expression, his bloodshot eyes filled with sorrow as he gazed at Natalie."I remember asking you before how Mom was doing. Didn't you say she was fine? How did this happen so suddenly?"Natalie spoke t
Regina's figure began to fade away as well. Gradually, she disappeared into the darkness."Mom, Mom…"Margot tried to reach out to grab something but caught nothing.Overwhelmed by sadness, she woke up and couldn't help but cry.Curtis hurried over, pulled her up, and held her in his arms before comforting her, "Margot, don't be too sad."It was only then did Margot realize he had come back.She leaned against him and began to cry even harder."Curtis, my mom is gone. My dad and Daniel are gone too. Why is this happening to me? Why do I have to go through so much pain? Curtis, I regret it so much. I regret not going back to Emeria with my parents sooner. I regret holding grudges against them and blaming them. They'll never come back. They've all left me. I'm in so much pain. I feel so lost."Thinking about everything Margot had gone through over the years, Curtis held her even tighter.She had suffered too much.She had already had a tough time from losing him, Lilac, and the
Royce's handsome face turned dark when he saw Zyla storming into the main hall.He waved his hand to dismiss his messengers and subordinates before casting a cold glance at Zyla and sneering, "Your mother's death is a stroke of luck for me. Even God is helping me out. How could I afford to show them any mercy?"If he still couldn't turn the tide in his favor this time, he would be failing not only himself but also God.Zyla questioned him, "What are you planning to do?"She had made a grave mistake.She should never have helped Royce steal Frederick's confidential documents.Now, Frederick and Daniel were still missing, and Regina had passed away. Not to mention the Morris family was on the brink of collapse. She couldn't let Calvin and Anthony fall into Royce's hands. She knew he would show them no mercy.She had to find a way to escape and warn her brothers of Royce's treachery before they brought Regina's body back.Royce stood up and slowly approached her, his gaze sharp an
Zyla was speechless.It turned out that she was nothing more than a pawn for him to destroy the Morris family in his heart.She meant nothing at all to him.Zyla felt as if needles were stabbing her heart. She couldn't believe that the man she had loved for over 20 years, for whom she had even lost a child, saw her as nothing more than a pawn.Now that she was no longer of any use, he discarded her like a worn-out shoe."Haha…"Zyla sat there feeling completely drained and laughed in despair.As she laughed, she burst out into tears.Lying on the ground, she bit down hard on her own hand, as if punishing herself for betraying the Morris family's kindness in raising her.At some point, a pair of elegant shoes appeared in front of her.Zyla looked up.Through her tear-blurred vision, a beautiful and delicate face slowly came into view.The woman held out a handkerchief to her with a sympathetic expression."I know Uncle Royce is going out of hand, but he's doing this for the
