Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 388

"That’s impossible. I don’t believe it. Claire can’t be dead. Go back in there and save her—go! Save her!" Sean shook his head desperately, refusing to accept the brutal truth.

Jeffry, Liam, Victor, and Normand all stood frozen in place, stunned.

Claire...dead?

How could this be?

Why her?

It just wasn’t fair.

She’d never hurt anyone in her life—hardworking, bright, honest, and kind. Claire was one of those rare good souls. Yet from the moment she was born, her own father abandoned her. She barely survived fifteen years in an orphanage, only to return home and face cruelty, false accusations, and five years behind bars for a crime she didn’t commit.

She finally got out, but life never let up. Again and again, she was targeted, framed, pushed to the very edge—until her life was finally snuffed out.

Weren’t good people supposed to be rewarded? So why did someone like Claire have to die such a miserable death?

Why? Why her?

No one could accept it.

Sean, nearly hysterical, shoved the doctor and screamed, his voice raw, "She promised to marry me! I haven’t even brought her home yet. Save her—just save her!"

Jeffry closed his eyes, unable to bear it. "Sir… Ms. Linwood is gone."

At that, a sharp, wrenching pain tore through Sean’s chest. He doubled over—and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

It was just then that Mandy, finally regaining consciousness, staggered into the hallway and caught Jeffry’s words.

She stopped in her tracks, her gaze locked on the doors to the operating room.

For a long moment, she didn’t move. Then, slowly, she forced herself forward, step by step.

Liam spotted her and reached out. "Mandy…"

But Mandy didn’t hear him. She brushed past, numb, and walked straight into the operating room.
