Chapter 421
‘Zy died?’
That struck Olivia like lightning. She was shocked
She felt as though she had stopped breathing once she heard the news.
Unwilling to believe it, she looked at Ken, trying to say something, but in the end, she gave up.
Tears streamed down her cheeks and dripped onto her hand. The feeling of it snapped her out of her sorrow. Awake from her daze, she grabbed Ken and roared as she questioned, “You promised me she would be fine!
“Why did you lie to me? Zy won’t die! She won’t die!”
Just as she was expressing her devastation, the nurse pushed out a bed with a white cloth over it covering Zyla.
Olivia froze and turned around to look at the white cloth. She bit her lips and let go of Ken.
She limped to the bed and lifted the white cloth with her trembling hands. All she saw was Zyla’s pale face.
After staring at it for a few seconds, she gently touched Zyla’s face.
It was still warm.
She grabbed the nurse’s hand and screamed like a lunatic. “Nurse, she’s not dead. Her body is still warm. Why did you lie to me that she’s dead?”
Her actions startled the nurse. “Calm down, Miss. The patient is dead. I’m sorry.”
“No!” She cried and shook her head, hammering her hand against the wall. “You lied! You lied to me. She
isn’t dead.”
As she shouted, she looked at Zyla and pounced on her as she wailed, “Zy, please don’t pretend to be asleep, okay?
“I’m sorry I ate your cupcakes. I’ll never do that again. I’ll never crawl onto your bed and cuddle you. Zy. please wake up. Stop sleeping… It’s not funny.”
However, the girl never answered, no matter how much she screamed.
The girl who had been smiling all throughout her bitter life was now gone.
