Chapter 899
"No! He was in a car accident and died on the spot..." Joanne's heart beat fast as she spoke.
Since she became a member of the Atherton family, she would pay attention to news related to their family.
Just two hours ago, Joanne suddenly saw the news that Eugene, who was being taken to the police station from the hospital, was killed on the spot by an out-of-control truck.
Even though it was just right outside the hospital, the doctors did their best but still failed to save his life, and his death was soon announced.
Catelyn was stunned, and after a while, she answered calmly, "I see."
"That's it?" Joanne asked suspiciously, as Catelyn was way too calm.
"What do I have to do then? Hug him and cry for his death?" Catelyn sighed helplessly, but she was a little shocked.
She thought he would serve in jail for the rest of his life, but a tragedy happened and took his life just like that.
She had wished for Eugene's death so badly when she and her grandmother were kidnapped.
Thinking about it in hindsight, Eugene was her uncle after all, and her grandmother would surely be reluctant to attend his funeral.
No mother would want her child to pass away before her, no matter how heartbreaking the child was.
Joanne started analyzing the situation. "Chill, I'm just asking. But don't you find it suspicious? He was killed in a car accident as soon as he was discharged from the hospital and taken to the police station-"
"Do you think someone hit him to death on purpose?"
"I did not say that! Forget it. Maybe I've watched too many thrilling shows... ’ Joanne muttered, "Hey, I asked for a leave from the crew, and I'll be right back to accompany you on Christmas. Cat, wait for me!"
"Okay." Catelyn smiled softly.
The landscape was filled with snow, indicating Christmas was around the corner. Silently, Catelyn hoped that next year would be a good year.
In the evening, Cedrick brought Miles and Ollie to pick up Catelyn for dinner.
It was the same restaurant where the two of them had a candlelight dinner last time.
Miles and Ollie were present, so they could not have a romantic dinner.
Cedrick had a slightly annoyed face.
Sylvie did not mind him being with Catelyn anymore, so he made an excuse to send the two little guys back to the Mason Chateau, but they both refused.
Hence, they were still living in Atherton Manor. Every time he went to find Catelyn, Catelyn would bring them out.
The two little helpers became the third and fourth wheels!
"Mummy, I'll peel the shrimp for you!" Ollie picked up a crayfish from the plate in disposable gloves.
Not wanting to be outdone by Ollie, Miles offered to pour juice for Catelyn.
