Chapter 1307 To The Morgue
Lowering his eyes, Silas sighed. “Although I understand your feelings, Dr. Baker, I’m sorry to say that I wasn’t deceiving you. Jacqueline’s really dead, and her body has already been transported to Stanford Hospital.”
Stanford Hospital also happened to be Stanley’s previous place of employment.
When he heard Silas’ words, Jackson felt like his heart was being crushed. It hurt so much that it left him feeling short of breath.
He held the phone in a vice-like grip. “Why? How could it have happened so quickly? It was you lot who killed her, am I right?”
All along, Jackson was aware that Shane had no intentions of handing Jacqueline over to the police and that the man sought to procure justice for himself.
Hence, he thought it highly possible that Shane could have killed Jacqueline.
That got Silas’ brow bunched up into a frown. “You’ve misunderstood us, Dr. Baker. Although we did indeed plan to kill her, we aren’t responsible for it. She was the one who took her own life.”
“Took her own life?” Jackson’s eyes narrowed asudden in skepticism. “How… Why would Jacqueline kill herself?”
“That’s the truth of the matter, Dr. Baker. Ms. Graham knew that we are not going to let her off, so out of desperation, she chose to take matters into her own hands. Seeing how much you loved her, you ought to know as well as anyone her prideful and conceited nature. How would someone like that ever allow herself to be subjected to the judgment of others?” Silas said.
Mouth agape, Jackson was rendered speechless because he knew it was as Silas described. Jacqueline’s arrogance and egocentricity meant that she would rather die than place herself at the mercy of another.
So, Jacqueline must have really taken her own life!
That realization left Jackson dumbstruck. He sunk his head so low that no one could see the expression on his face.
His quiet sniffles, though, betrayed the fact that he was weeping.
That did not elude Silas, who could do little except sigh in response for he understood why Jackson cried so piteously. How could anyone not do so upon the death of one’s own beloved? Although Dr. Baker had stated that he was not in love with Jacqueline anymore and would not see her again, he could not have just let go of his feelings within such a short time.
