Chapter 1415 Returning the Favor
“Hehehe…” Anthony suddenly let out a howl of laughter that echoed through the cemetery. He looked at the photo on the tombstone, shaking his head, but his laughter was so wild that tears streamed down his face. “You women, are you all heartless like this?”
Kisa, who was leaning on her crutches, was taken aback by the sudden outburst of laughter. She scowled and crouched down to meet Anthony’s gaze. “We are heartless because you men hurt us first,” she shot back in a low growl.
“Athadale isn’t a very nice place, and I don’t think Lea would like it here. Take her ashes with you and go. She loved the mountains that touch the sky, the rivers that flow freely, and the grasslands that stretch far and wide. But Athadale was never her cup of tea. It hurts to imagine her ashes
stuck here, amid all this sorrow.”
Anthony’s his expression lit up. “Take her away?”
“Yes, live your life to the fullest and show her all the beautiful sights this world has to offer.”
Anthony looked down at Lea’s photo once again and nodded slowly. “Okay. I’ll do it.”
Kisa let out a sigh of relief. She did not like Anthony, but she owed him her life. After all, it was his intel that helped Gilbert find her in the collapsed basement. So, in a way, she was returning the favor by helping him now. Besides, considering the agonizing love Lea had endured, it was only fair that Anthony should spend the rest of his life in remorse for his misdeeds.
As she was about to leave, she turned to Anthony and asked once again about Adrien’s situation. Unfortunately, even Anthony did not know Adrien’s background or why he would go after her and Gilbert. It seemed that Adrien’s secrets were truly hidden deep away.
As she made her way down the hill, Kisa was lost in thought. She was so distracted that she did not notice someone standing in her path until she bumped into him.
Looking up, she was surprised to see Adrien staring down at her.
Kisa’s heart skipped a beat. ‘Adrien is here at the cemetery too? Was he here all along, or did those two bodyguards fail to complete their task and inform him to come?’
