Charles paused for a moment, reached out to take the document, and as he flipped it open, his face gradually turned pale. His fingers trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with disbelled “This. How is this possible?=
Rebecca leaned over and took a quick glance, her face instantly toming pale.
Her body shook for a moment, almost unable to stand steady
In the emergency room, Zachary’s consciousness hovered on the brink of life and death.
The image of Silvia kept appearing in his mind.
She was wearing a white dress, standing in the sunlight, with a radiant smile. She was being playful in his arms, her voice as sweet as honey. She was looking at him through the glass window in the prison, her eyes filled with despair and loneliness.
“Siria” his voice was so faint that it was almost inaudible, tears streaming down his cheeks, soaking the pillowcase
He didn’t believe that she would die, let alone that his hatred towards her all these years was actually a joke
Throughout, Silvia protected him and loved him in her own way. She didn’t say it wrong, she loved him the most in the whole world.
But he himself pushed her into the abyss.
The first aid lasted for a day and a night. Zachary was on the verge of death several times, but the doctors managed to bring him back from the brink. When he woke up again, there was only Trey in the ward. Trey had red eyes and a horse voice, saying, “Mr. Aldrich, you finally made it through
Zachan’s gaze fell outside the window, the sunlight streaming through the curtains, but unable to penetrate the darkness in his heart.
His voice was weak but determined, “Help me book a ticket to Flodino.”
Trey lowered his head, his voice choked with emotion, “Mr. Aldrich, according to Ms. Winston’s last wish, she has already had a sea burial. The mortician. said her soul is pure and will surely ascend to heaven. Besides, your current health is very weak, so even if you were to go, it would be of no use.
A hint of pain flashed in Zachary’s eyes. He closed his eyes, and tears silently slid down his face, but he still persisted.
“Help me book a ticket to Flodino!”
One day later
Zachary stood in the study of the Aldrich’s Villa, with the sunlight outside streaming through the heavy curtains, but unable to brighten the gloom in his
Charles sat behind his desk, his face pale, his fingers trembling slightly, his voice tinged with weariness and heartache, “Zachary, I know you’re hurting, but the dead cannot be brought back to life… Salvia is gone, no matter how much you struggle, she can’t come back.”
Zachary’s gaze fell outside the window, his voice calm yet unquestionably determined, “I wanted to go to Flodino.”
Charles furrowed his brow, his voice tinged with helplessness and pain. “How can you go to a place like Flodino, with its harsh environment, when you haven’t even fully recovered? If Silvia finds out that you’re pushing yourself like this for her, she won’t be at ease either.
Zachary still did not turn back, his voice coldly said, “I wanted to go
to Hodino
Charles clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. There was a hint of choking in his voice as he said, “Zachary, I know you’re hurting inside, but you can’t do this… You can’t destroy yourself for someone who’s already gone!”

Zachary finally turned around, his gaze icy and sharp, “I wanted to go to Flodina.”
Charles was stunned by his gaze, he opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything.
The atmosphere in the study was so oppressive that it suffocated people, as if there was an invisible sadness permeating the air.
Just then, the door of the study was gently pushed open and Rebecca walked in. Her face was pale, almost transparent, with a hint of exhaustion and pain
In her eyes. She glanced at Zachary, then at Charles, her voice soft but determined, “Sir Aldrich, you should let him go.”
Charles paused for a moment, furrowing his brow. “Rebecca, why are you
Rebecca lowered her head, her voice choked with a hint of sadness. “I know Silvia’s death has had a great impact on Zachary. He needs time to accept and face it. Just let him be, otherwise… he will never be able to move on in his life.”
Charles’s face changed and changed again,
ain, and finally he sighed heavily and waved his hand, saying, “Do whatever you want! I don’t care anymore!”
Rebecca walked up to Zachary, looked up at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions. “Zachary, could you apologize to her for me? I will remember

her for the rest of my life and be grateful to her. I have already donated a lot of blood these past two days, and I will continue to help others in this way… It Is the only way I can atone for my sins.”
Zachary’s gaze remained icy, as if he hadn’t heard her words. He turned and left the study, his back resolute and lonely.
