Daddy, Mommy had been in Prison

“Back then, I’d already predicted that something might have been up with Robert’s body, but I didn’t care. If he married me, I’d have destroyed him anyway and inherited the property. But all my hard work and all my planning and he still suspected me. I guess that’s fate, Georgia. He never loved me, so after even a bit of doubt, he never gave me another chance.”

Having said that, Sierra’s expression was thoughtful, and no longer as madly twisted as before.

Georgia, on the other hand, felt truly pained. Sierra had already kept it simple. She hadn’t even described what Robert looked like when he was being tortured.

But Georgia could guess it all. She was a person who experimented in labs herself. She couldn’t have ever used humans, but how had she treated the lab rats during all those experiments breeding bacteria and fungi in them?

She’d never felt any pity. And that attitude was the same as the one held by those people who’d experimented on Robert in the lab.

Injecting all sorts of chemicals into a system without testing for concentration and content – the damage that could be done to a human body that way was substantial.

Georgia closed her eyes and a tear finally rolled down her cheek.

Sierra seemed to be tired from talking and didn’t even laugh at Georgia’s sorrowful appearance.

Georgia sat there in silence for a while and stood, about to leave.

Only then did Sierra speak again.

“I’m sure you must have taken Robert for a body check already. I don’t even have to think about it to guess what state his body is in. Just a ruined frame. He’s only acting strong at the end.

“I wish you a proper life as a widow, Georgia Lane!”

Georgia’s footsteps faltered at Sierra’s words.

She took a deep breath and felt the taste of blood close up her throat.

She didn’t turn around. She didn’t want to give Sierra the satisfaction. Slowly, she strode out of the basement.
