Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 205

Hearing my instructions, Hannah immediately grabbed the phone and dialed the number.

As I suspected, she knew Logan.

Ever since Hannah arrived, she’s been calling me ‘Ms. Wilburn’, which I found comforting.

I understood perfectly the intentions of Ronan placing Hannah by my side. This way, he could check on my condition at all times.

Hannah referring to me as Ms. Wilburn subtly indicated that she was on my side.

However, she was still new to me and didn't know me well yet.

The state of my health was like a car long overdue for an overhaul, unable to withstand the slightest wear and tear. It was not that I was not strong enough inside, but that my bodily functions didn't allow it.

Like now, even though I had mentally prepared for the worst, the sight of those ignorant netizens hurling abuses at me made my heart race uncontrollably.

I could fully understand the impulse to do something irreversible out of anger. But I was certain that Marissa's death was not a result of an impulse.

After hanging up the phone, Hannah returned to me, scrutinizing my face, and carefully asked, "Ms. Wilburn, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," I reassured Hannah, explaining, "It's just my health acting up."

She poured me a glass of water and handed it to me, "She died on the spot."

I nodded, "Falling from such a height, Marissa's survival was impossible. But what I want to know the details."

"I understand, don't worry!"

He reminded me of a few more things, and then hung up the phone.

While I was on the phone with Ronan, Hannah received a call too. After seeing me hang up, she came over and said, "That was Logan. The preliminary investigation shows that Marissa fell from the 24th-floor rooftop. The security footage suggests that she went up to the rooftop by herself via the elevator, and nothing unusual was found in the room. We'll have to wait for the coroner's findings for any other factors."

"Let's wait then. I'm sure there's more to this. I don’t believe that someone who has been provoking me would jump off a building."

"This family sure is peculiar, like they're under some curse." Just as Hannah finished her sentence, a deafening thud startled me...
