Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 

In the darkness, I could still faintly hear some voices. I could hear Rachel’s cries as well as Zion’s and the doctor’s anxious shouts. 

“Stephanie, hang in there…” 

“Stephanie!” 

“Stephie!” 

“She’s been holding on for too long. We found her too late… Maybe, maybe if we were one day earlier … Just one day… she would’ve survived.” The doctor’s voice broke, and his eyes turned red. “She was pregnant too…” 

As a spectator, he seemed to be unable to believe what had happened to 

1. me. 

“She must have been in such despair.” Phil looked away. “If only we had found her earlier… Two lives were lost from this! That animal!” 

“She was tortured so badly that her finger bones were shattered. And just to make her look more delicate, he injected her with a huge amount of drugs. Her skin is even paler than a doll’s now. 

“That psycho… displayed her like a piece of art in this glass case!” One of the female officers also broke into tears and looked away. 

Sitting on the ground, Michael’s breathing grew heavier. As though he’d gone insane, his eyes were bright red. “She won’t die… She won’t die. She’s lying to me! She won’t die! Didn’t she want me to marry her…? I’ll marry her, so come back! Don’t die!‘ 

“If you 

and Yasmin hadn’t obstructed the police’s investigation, Stephie wouldn’t have died!” Rachel sobbed while hitting Michael. She wanted to kill him. 

The female officer tried to stop her, but Zion held her back. 

Zion also resented Michael. 

Stephanie could have lived. 

“Even if we were earlier by just one day…” Rachel cried weakly, kneeling on the ground. 

Just one day would have been fine. 

“You and Rachel are the reason she’s dead. Go to hell, Michael! Just die!” 

“She’s not dead… She won’t die!” Michael suddenly lost his mind, like he didn’t believe that the person in the glass case was me. He ran away as quickly as he could. 

How laughable. Didn’t he wish I was dead all this while? Now that I was, what was he going crazy for? 

“Officer Landon, we found a lead! Stephanie’s parents were the philanthropists funding this orphanage back then. The day they died in a car accident was the day when they were on the way to 

attend a celebration at the orphanage! 

“Also… on the same day, there was a huge fire at the orphanage that ended with a lot of casualties.” An officer jogged over into the basement. He was holding a photo of me and my parents at the 

orphanage. 

“The orphanage…” 

Suddenly, my head hurt. The memories of the car accident flooded my mind. The face of the person frantically trying to save my life at the scene slowly changed from Michael’s face to another person’s. “Steve…” Why was I suddenly thinking about that murderer? Wasn’t it Michael who saved me? 

Did I lose that many memories from that accident as I thought? 

“This can’t be a coincidence. The death of Stephanie and her parents might not have been an accident! “Zion slammed his fist against the wall. “I’ll catch that bastard for sure… I won’t let Stephanie’s death be in vain!” 

My consciousness was fading. I slowly stopped being able to hear… 

It turned out that my parents‘ deaths weren’t an accident! It was orchestrated! It was definitely tied to the murderer who killed me. 

The moment death came, a roaring wave of hatred and thirst for the truth nearly tore me apart. 

The Grim Reaper gave me time but not the chance to leave behind any regrets. 

My life was just beginning!
