Exposing the Charade of Deep Affection (PDF) novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485 Social Death 

Hermosa Hinton was the full name of Hermosa, and she was usually doted on by everyone. 

Emma’s face was already streaked with tears, looking at Hermosa whose expression was 

Sull full of disappointment. 

Hermosa sobbed as she wiped her tears. This time, she didn’t pretend to be ignorant. Instead, she said, “I didn’t want to kill her. I just wanted to teach her a lesson. She stole dad from us and caused your divorce. She’s a bad woman. If she really died, she deserved it. Bad people should die!” 

“Hermosa Hinton!” Emma shouted angrily, raising her hand to strike Hermosa again. I quickly grabbed her. 

Knowing she was angry at that moment, I looked at Hermosa and said, “Hermosa, your mother is doing this for your own good. Whether she is a bad person or not, it’s not your place to decide her fate. By acting this way, aren’t you becoming just like her? Turning yourself into a bad person because of another bad person, do you think that’s right?” 

Hermosa pursed her lips, tears still falling down. After all, she was just a child. Seeing her mother so emotional and knowing the trouble she had caused, she clung to Emma’s clothes, crying and saying, “Mom, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have hurt her. I’m sorry, I really know I was wrong. I promise I won’t do it again.” 

Emma’s eyes were already red as hell, and upon hearing Hermosa’s words, she couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. She hugged Hermosa and started crying. 

I stared blankly at the mother and daughter, my mind filled with the

words I had just said to Hermosa. Because of a bad person, I had ultimately turned myself into a detestable bad person as well. Was it worth it? 

Rachel was fine, she just passed out briefly due to the extremely low temperature in the morgue. She wasn’t exposed for long, so there was no substantial harm. The shock might have also played a part in her losing consciousness. 

It wasn’t long before he woke up. Emma brought Hermosa to his hospital room. Upon seeing Emma, William was slightly taken aback, then looked at Hermosa with a somewhat guilty expression: 

“Hermosa,” he said, “Daddy might not be able to play chess with you today. Can we do it tomorrow?” 

Hermosa didn’t respond to his words, but went straight into the ward. Seeing this, William wanted to stop her, but was held back by Emma. 

Judging by William’s reaction, it seemed that Rachel hadn’t told William anything yet. 

Outside the ward, William looked at Emma, puzzled, and asked, “What happened?” 

Although Emma was reluctant to talk to him more, she still told William about what had just happened. After hearing it, William was also taken aback. 

He probably never imagined that his own pattern of starting and abandoning things would lead his daughter to do something so 

extreme. 

Seeing that Rachel was fine, I didn’t go in, just took a glance and left alone. The corridor was empty, and I was somewhat lost in thought. 

When I heard a noise coming from the stairwell nearby, I was still somewhat unresponsive.

It wasn’t until a few seconds later that I came to my senses and recognized it was Walter’s voice. He seemed to be speaking to the other person with little patience, and I faintly heard a “Marjorie”. 

I couldn’t help but stop in my tracks, listening intently.
