After a moment of contemtion, Dorothy took a deep breath as if she had reached a decision. She pushed down all her emotions and retrieved her phone to call Wayne. Wayne wasn''t cold-hearted enough to ignore the call. The phone rang for only a few seconds before he answered.
Wayne said, "Hello."
Dorothy''s fingers trembled slightly as she gripped her phone, particrly at the sound of Wayne''s calm voice. It felt like a knife twisting in her heart, intensifying the sense of injustice over her daughter''s death. She tried to calm her voice. "The verdict was out. Do you know?"
Wayne was silent for two seconds before he said, "I know, my condolences."
Hearing this, Dorothyughed, and then she cried whileughing.
Dorothy said, "Wayne, that was our daughter. How can you be so calm?"
"What do you want me to do? Should I weep at her grave ormit suicide to join her? Would that satisfy you?" Wayne''s words were heartless and carried a hint of anger.
Soon, Wayne regained hisposure and spoke to Dorothy with a serious tone. "Dorothy, the deceased cannot be brought back to life. No matter how sorrowful or distressed we feel, they will not return. However, for those of us who are still living, we must continue moving forward. Don''t you agree?"
Just listen, how grandiose yet cold-blooded and selfish those words were.
"Yes, you''re right." Despite the tears streaming down her face, Dorothy''s voice was eerily calm. "I''ve lost everything now. My daughter is dead. Wayne, what should I do?"
Dorothy was once married to Wayne, back when her parents were still alive, and she had her own home.
Now, her parents had passed away one after the other. Her older brother had inherited her family''s wealth. Her rtionship with her brother had be distant now that he had his own family, and he even had his eyes on the shares she held. Dorothy had sought her brother''s help, but he had only given her perfunctory responses, leaving her to bear everything alone in the end.
Dorothy truly had nothing left.
Wayne sighed. "I''ll send you some money. Take care of yourself. Life is short. Don''t spend the little time you have left on those who have passed."

Hearing this, Dorothy almost crushed her phone.
She suppressed the urge to kill and calmly said, "I want to see you. Can youe and stay with me?"
Wayne was silent for a while but eventually agreed.
Wayne said, "Send me the address."
Dorothy said, "Okay."
Dorothy hung up the phone, unable to control the surging hatred in her chest, which all surfaced on her face and turned into overwhelming murderous intent. Since thew couldn''t avenge her, she would do it herself!

Before he went, he could never have imagined what awaited him.
The address Dorothy gave was quite remote, an old vi district.
Wayne sat in his car, gazing at the old vis, and suddenly felt a wave of nostalgia. He recalled the time when he and Dorothy had lived there, and they had been very happy together. Unfortunately, Dorothy had injured her body when giving birth to Valerie and could no longer have children. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have ended up divorced.
If only Dorothy could have given him a son, there would be no ce for Alexander and the others now.
Thinking this, Wayne shook his head and sighed, got out of the car, and walked towards the vi.
The vi door was ajar. Wayne stood at the door, pondering for a long time before pushing it open and walking in.
Wayne was a sentimental man. At this moment, what he was actually thinking about was how to face Dorothy, whom he hadn''t seen in a long time.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
