Chapter 94
“After you both passed away, I was always fearful and on edge and couldn’t bear to push forward. So, I left,” Belle began, her voice trembling with the weight of her confession.
“In the years that followed, I felt immense sorrow every time I thought about Mrs. Felix’s death. I wanted to speak out, but I was too afraid. When I learned that Ms. Linda survived, I was overjoyed but still too frightened to reveal the truth.
“Yesterday, I was diagnosed with late–stage cancer. I don’t have much time left, so I came here to tell everything I know..

“I sent you an address. It’s a good spa. Take Chloe for a massage. Her shoulders must be stiff for having
to work at her desk a lot.”
Linda checked her WhatsApp and saw the spa address.

“Got it.”
