Chapter 1163 Motherless Kids
Like a cub that had lost its mother, Sophia kept hitting and biting Samuel all over. Her emotional outburst prompted the other four to break down in tears as well.
Franklin, Xavian, Clayton, and Yumi all began wailing at the top of their voices. “You meanie! How could you not keep your promise?”
“Give Mommy back! We want Mommy back!” “I don’t like this! I don’t want Mommy to die!” Instead of explaining anything to the kids, Samuel simply stood there and repeatedly apologized, “I’m sorry… It’s all my fault…”
Of course, the kids didn’t actually hate Samuel. They just couldn’t accept the fact that Natalie had died. Jerome’s heart ached as he stood there and watched from the side.
Emma spent the most time around the kids, so seeing them cry their hearts out like this brought her to tears as well. Ms. Nichols’ death was so sudden… These poor kids lost their mother at such a young age…
Just like that, the five kids knelt before Natalie’s corpse and cried until they were exhausted.
Even then, they continued to kneel and refused to get up. While they were too young to understand what paying their last respects meant, they wanted to burn Natalie’s appearance into their memories as much as possible.
Meanwhile, at the Leitz residence, Helma had just received word about Natalie dying in prison.
Shock filled Helma’s eyes when she first heard about the news. Once the shock wore off, however, she let out a disdainful chuckle and muttered, “Heh… I can’t believe this woman actually broke under the intense interrogation and bit her own tongue to kill herself! And here I thought she would surprise me with some trump card up her sleeve… Tsk, tsk, tsk… This is such a disappointing ending!”
Of course, disdain wasn’t the only emotion she displayed.
Helma was also gleeful that Natalie’s life ended in tragedy.
