Chapter 18
Zachary’s hand suddenly trembled, and his phone almost fell to the ground.
He suddenly swayed, almost falling down, with Trey’s words echoing in his mind like a sharp knife, stabbing into his heart again and again.
“How is it possible? How is it possible?
His throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood suddenly sprayed out, staining the glass window in front of him red.
His body shock for a moment, and the world in front of his eyes started spinning. Then, he heavily fell to the ground
When Zachary woke up, he saw a bright white light in front of him.
The smell of disinfectant was pungent, and there was a constant ticking sound of instruments in my ears.
His head was dizzy and heavy, and his chest felt like it was being crushed by a huge stone, making it difficult for him to breathe
Trey sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes red and tightly catching a document in his hand. When he saw him wake up, he quickly approached and said hoarsely, “Mr. Aldrich, you finally woke up.”
Zachary’s vision was a bit blurry, and he struggled to focus as he looked at Trey. “What happened to me?”
Trey lowered his head, his voice choked with a hint of sobbing, “You were spirting blood and unconscious, the doctor worked tirelessly for a whole day and night. Several critical condition notices were issued.”
Zachary furrowed his brow slightly as fragmented images flashed through his mind – Trey’s voice on the phone, the news of Svia’s death.
His heart suddenly contracted, his voice weak but urgent, Silvia is she really dead?”
Trey’s throat rolled and he nodded, “Yes, Mr. Aldrich. Ms. Winston gut cancer, in the late stage. And before she died, she also donated all her blood to save Ms. Deruss. Her last wish was a sea burial, so I took time off to take her to Flodino for the sea burial. The mortician said she was a pure soul.”
“The pure one?” Zachary’s voice was hoarse, almost inaudible, as his fingers unconsciously tightened around the bedsheet, causing his knuckles to turn white with exertion
Seeing him like this, Trey’s eyes became even redder. He took out a document from his pocket and tremblingly handed it to Zachery, saying, “Mr. Aldrich, I… I couldn’t live with myself, so I investigated what happened back then. This document.. it’s the truth.”
Zachary’s fingers trembled slightly as he took the documents and opened the first page. As he read through the pages, his face grew paler and the shock and pain in his eyes were on the verge of overflowing

In order to protect the reputation of the Aldrich family, Silvia alone took on all the charges, even willing to be sent to prison by her own hands.
“She… She did it for me..” Zachary’s voice was hoarse, almost inaudible. His fingers tightly clenched the document, the knuckles turning white from the
force.
A sharp pain surged through his chest again, and he forcefully coughed up a mouthful of blood, staining the pristine white bedsheets. His body weakly collapsed back onto the bed, and the world before his eyes began to blur.
“Mr. Aldrich! Mr. Aldrich!”
The doctor and nurse hurriedly amved, and the emergency alarm sounded in the ward. Zachary’s consciousness gradually blurred, but he seemed to hear Silvia’s voice in his ears.
He remembered the hesitant look in her eyes, the forced smile she wore in front of him, and the countless times he saw her pale face.
His heart felt as if it were being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand, causing him unbearable pain and making it almost impossible to breathe.
Outside the emergency room, Charles and Rebecca hurriedly arrived.
Charles’s face darkened, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone, “Didn’t Zachary go to find Silvia? How did it turn out like this? That woman is indeed not a good person!”
Rebecca stood aside, her face pale, with a hint of unease in her eyes.
She was about to speak when Trey suddenly stood up, his voice cold and angry, “Ms. Winston is dead. She died from excessive blood loss while trying to save Ms. Deross.”
sell to some me?”
Rebecca was struck by lightning, and her body trembled suddenly, her face instantly turning pale. “What? She…she sacrificed herself
Charles, however, sneered and his tone was full of sarcasm, saying, “Good riddance! That kind of woman should have died a long time ago!”
Trey clenched his fist tightly, and his knuckles turned white from exertion.
