The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 653

Cassie's eyes were red from crying, her body curled up on the floor in pain. She couldn't lift her head, only able to glance sideways at Sheldon.

"Sheldon, you watched me grow up. Even if I'm not my father's biological daughter, don't all the years we've spent together mean anything?"

After asking this painful question, Cassie laughed again. But this time, her laughter was filled with mockery and regret.

"Why am I even asking such a foolish question? If you really had a heart, you wouldn't have tricked me into coming back to Holden Residence and locking up. Sheldon, the way you've chosen for me to die leaves no trace of me behind.

"First, I suffer unbearable pain. And after I die, there won't even be anything left of me. By the time I reach the other side, I doubt even my father would recognize me."

She continued bitterly, "Sheldon, you followed my father all your life. You never married or had children. After his death, you became so twisted, so inhuman. You're truly heartless."

Cassie laughed again after speaking, but this time, as her laugh turned to a cough, blood poured from her mouth. The blood was filled with disgusting, wriggling little creatures that were larger than before.

Cassie recoiled in disgust, not wanting these vile creatures to return to her body and continue tearing her apart from the inside.

Sheldon stood at the door, listening to her words without a single reply. He simply smiled and nodded, acknowledging her accusations.

"You're right, Cassie," he said calmly. "The truth is, neither of us are good people. I've lived longer and had more than you, but I'll die with you. You're not losing out completely. Once we're both dead, we'll still be able to fight each other in the afterlife."

Cassie didn't respond to him this time. Instead, she continued to vomit blood.

More blood poured from her mouth. The disgusting creatures crawled back into her body, feeding off her once again. Her attention shifted to the steak nearby. It was still steaming and giving off a tempting aroma.

She recalled Sheldon's words. Despite her pain, she crawled toward the steak. She sank her face into it, biting into it with no care for the blood pouring from her mouth. She chewed, swallowing the food despite everything.

When she finished the steak, she was completely drained of energy. She lay there, feeling her life slipping away slowly.

After a while, blood began to trickle down the corner of Sheldon's mouth. He held a remote and pulled out his phone, dialing Wesley for a video call.

Wesley answered after a short wait. Behind him stood the large maple tree in Holden Residence.

"Sheldon, where have you been? I've been trying to contact you," Wesley said.

The silence around him showed he was alone.

"Sheldon, why are you bleeding? What's going on? Tell me where you are. I'll come right now!"
