Chapter 486 Do You Blame Me?
“Nothing serious. I’ll tell you about it later tonight.” “Okay.” His eyes scanned the two children in the room. Some topics should never be brought up in front of the kids.
At night, after the children were in bed, Selena went to meet up with Pierre. He had found an empty area downstairs for smoking since the pediatric ward was a smoke-free zone. She silently walked to him and asked, “So what’s up?”
He threw the cigarette butt onto the floor and stomped on it. When she heard that it was a call from the police, her heart sank because she figured it must be related to the case.
“The police said the case is considered closed since Helen has been sentenced to death. We can bring home Dad’s body now.” She felt a rush of sorrow after hearing his reply.
When Pierre left, John was still sitting in the host seat, congratulated by the guests. After Pierre was gone, John suddenly passed away, and they didn’t even have an intact corpse now.
“Pierre, do you blame me?” She felt a tinge of guilt regarding this incident. Pierre lost his mother at an early age. He had no one on this earth except for his father—John was his only family.
Occasionally, Selena would feel very sorry for him. Even though Cecilia passed away too soon and Roland was a negligent father, she at least felt comforted by Roland’s existence in this world.
He turned and looked at her. “Why would I blame you?” He pulled her into a hug. “I’m sorry, Selena. It’s all my fault.”
“No, it’s all my fault. I was too careless and fell into the trap. Had I realized it sooner, I would have been more prepared, and the tragedy would not have happened.”
“No, it’s not your fault. Please don’t blame yourself.”
Her self-blame added to his remorse. My woman is too kind! This tragedy is no-one’s fault, but she always wants to shoulder the responsibility.
He hugged her tighter while she stayed in his arms without a word.
