I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 777

Chapter 777: Let You Feel Guilty for a Lifetime

"She said she wanted to make me feel guilty and restless for the rest of my life, and it was me who drove her to her death," Zane's voice was soft, reaching Yanis' ears, causing her to startle.

Lucia had been bouncing between Nealon, Bruce, and Miller throughout her life. Whether it was for Zane's sake or against Neve, she was quite heartless. But deep down, the person Lucia cared about the most was Bruce. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone crazy trying to marry her daughter to her son.

Such thoughts could only have come from Lucia's mind. In order to achieve her goal, she resorted to conspiracies and calculations, but she couldn't help Yanis give birth to their first child smoothly.

Now it seemed as if Zane was the one who had wronged her. It was unfortunate to have such a crazy and stubborn mother, both for Neve and Zane. It even involved Anika in the middle.

But Lucia showed no remorse and placed the blame on Zane for almost everything. It seemed like everything had happened because of Zane, and she was the victim. That's why Lucia chose such a cruel way to end her life.

And Lucia's intense actions were all for the sake of Bruce. She wanted Zane to help Neve, help Bruce. Zane's refusal drove Lucia to complete collapse, so she took out the hidden fork and brutally killed herself in front of Zane.

She left behind the words, "Zane, remember this scene for the rest of your life. You drove your own mother to death!"

Yanis couldn't help but feel a pang of pain just imagining that scene. She felt sorry for Zane, who had witnessed such a bloody scene.

So after Zane finished speaking, Yanis reached out and embraced him. "Zane, don't dwell on it."

Zane didn't say anything; he simply held Yanis tightly.

The two of them stayed embraced on the side chairs.

It wasn't until people arrived from the crematorium that Zane released Yanis.

Now, there was no way to contact anyone from the Lucia family, and after Lucia divorced Miller, she no longer belonged to the Lawrence family.

So Zane had directly sent Lucia's body to the crematorium, preparing for the cremation tomorrow.

Zane had stayed here overnight, showing his filial piety.

"Zane, shouldn't we take her home first?" Yanis asked.

"The Lucia family won't take care of her. Let it be like this. This is the last thing I can do for her," Zane replied.

After all, Lucia had given him life, so this act could be considered as settling things between them.

Yanis didn't say anything more. "Okay, you take care of it."

Lucia's funeral was simple, and only Phoebe attended.

After all, Lucia was Phoebe's elder.

In the vast cemetery, besides the funeral staff, there were only Zane, Phoebe, and one other person, Yanis.

After taking care of Lucia's affairs, Zane suddenly fell ill.

He had a persistent high fever for several days.

Yanis was worried and didn't want to leave him at home, so she forcefully took him to the hospital with Albi.

They administered IV fluids and medication, but his temperature kept fluctuating without coming down.

This situation persisted for nearly a week before things started to improve.

During Zane's illness, Old Mrs. Lawrence and Old Mr. Lawrence visited twice, Dylan and Rachel came as well.

Finnley, Vincent, and even Haider came.

Bonnie came too.

It seemed like everyone they knew well paid a visit.

But the last person to come surprised Yanis.

When Adam showed up at the D-king Castle entrance carrying something, Yanis was taken aback.

Based on Yanis's understanding, Adam and Zane had no connection whatsoever.

Their relationship wasn't strong enough for Adam to visit carrying gifts.

"What's this? Miss Thompson doesn't intend to let me in?" Adam asked as he saw Yanis standing at the door, seemingly lost in thought.

Only after hearing Adam's words did Yanis snap back to reality and step aside, allowing Adam to enter.

"Do you need to change your shoes?" Adam stood at the entrance and turned to Yanis.

Yanis shook her head, "No need, just come in."

Adam didn't hesitate and walked straight into the living room.

When Zane came downstairs and saw Adam entering from the front door, he paused for a moment. "How did Mr. Bennet end up here?"

Adam raised the item in his hand when he heard Zane's voice. "I heard Mr. Lawrence was sick, so I came to check on him."

Zane walked from upstairs to the living room. "Have a seat."

Yanis approached to pour a cup of tea for Adam and then turned to the kitchen.

Zane hadn't been eating much these past few days, so Yanis planned to make some appetizing soup for him.
