Wrong Marriage and Sweet Love

The coroner said politely to Karl in a hurry, “Please come with me. Although the scene has been cleaned, I have saved the photos and will show them to you together.”

“Good.” Karl turned to Joyce and said, “I’ll take a look at the scene, and you stay here for a while.”

“Well, I’m going over to have a word with Cecelia.” Joyce nodded and walked to the side.

Cecelia sat alone in the corner, her eyes empty as if her soul had been taken away, lifeless. She did not even notice Joyce, only immersed in the great pain.

Joyce stepped forward, bowed gently to Cecelia, and said respectfully, “Cecelia, I’m sorry for your loss.”

Cecelia woke up when she heard someone calling her, and when she saw that it was Joyce, she stood up quickly, “Joyce, it’s you, what are you doing here?”

“I happened to be with Officer Karl and stopped by and came in to take a look.” Joyce explained, “Cecelia, Karl is the most responsible detective I’ve ever met, and he came by to check out the scene. And he will do whatever he can to help.”

In front of her eyes, Cecelia had obviously cried, her eyes were red and swollen, her tears had not yet dried, and her sorrowful face could not hide the endless sorrow.

She nodded gently, “I see. I’m sorry I couldn’t receive you properly because of the accident in my family.”

Joyce wanted to ask if there was anything she could do to help. The Heath family was a warlord family, full of soldiers standing in the courtyard, so certainly they had no need for more hands.

She looked around and noticed a strange thing. In fact, she had felt strange since she came in just now. Why didn’t Charlotte see her after such a big incident at home?Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Cecelia, how come I don’t see Charlotte?” asked Joyce directly.

“Hey, don’t mention it.” Cecelia sighed quietly, “Today I had an urgent matter to go to the Capital. I did not expect that when I barely got halfway there, I got a call, and they told me Charlotte had an accident. She was hit by a car near the subway entrance, so I had to turn around and rush back to Khebury.”

“Charlotte was in a car accident? How come? I saw her at Skymall this afternoon.” Joyce almost blurted out. How could that be? Charlotte was obviously with Ricky, and it was obvious that Ricky would drive her home, how could she be near the subway entrance? And she got hit by a car?

“Yes, I heard her say that too. Charlotte was in a hurry and was stuck in traffic, so she took the subway. I didn’t realize the more I rushed, the more things went wrong. It all came together.” Cecelia said with remorse.

“Isn’t there a lieutenant with Charlotte? I saw him this afternoon, too.” Joyce was suspicious but concerned, “Charlotte, is she okay? She’s still pregnant.”

“Oh, you mean Ricky, who also happened to be urgently transferred back to the Capital this afternoon, and would not be back until sometime later.” Cecelia put one hand on her forehead, “All the misfortunes, all the misfortunes, all in one place. I came back in a hurry and visited Charlotte at the military hospital, but fortunately, she only fainted for a while and was not seriously injured, and the baby in her womb was saved. Then I rushed home again, I did not expect …”

In the end, Cecelia choked up.

“When I entered, Rodney had already passed away, and he was lying there. He had fallen down the stairs. I blame myself for not being able to take care of him at home all the time.”
