Chapter 1606
"I know..." Jeremy looked up and saw Ashlynn standing at the entrance. He was so shocked, and he immediately stood up.
"Why...are you here?"
Ashlynn stood there dazed. She looked at Jeremy, then the person who spoke earlier. "What do you guys mean when you talk
about my parents' soul resting in peace?"
"Nothing. We were talking about someone else."
Ashlynn could tell from their faces that they were clearly panicking. She was not deaf. She heard what they said clearly.
Her face turned pale, and she immediately searched for her phone. She did not have it on her, so she rushed to the car.
"Ashlynn!" Jeremy ran after her and stopped her. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to call Mom and Dad."
"They are traveling. Don't disturb them."
Ashlynn looked at him. "Jeremy, tell me honestly, why aren't Mom and Dad coming home? Don't lie! I have always felt it was
strange. Why haven't they come home when I'm already so far along? Something is wrong, isn't it? Did something...really
happen to them?"
Jeremy looked like he was holding something back. "Don't ask anymore..."
"Jeremy Hilton! If you don't tell me, then you're no longer my brother anymore!"
Jeremy knew he could not lie to her anymore. He should not have come home. Those high-ranking executives should not have
come to the mansion and spewed nonsense.
"Yes, Mom and Dad are gone. They had been murdered when you were three months pregnant."
Ashlynn fell backward. Jeremy quickly supported her. "Calm down! Dad and Mom won't want anything to happen to you. I was
afraid you couldn't accept it, so I didn't tell you when I laid them to rest."
Tears streamed down Ashlynn's face, and she looked at him in disbelief. "You are my brother! How could you not tell me? My
child is important, but so are our parents! You..."
Ashlynn, who was severely shocked, fainted.
"Ashlynn!"
She was in the hospital when she woke up. Corentin and Jeremy were by her bed, looking at her with concern.
As soon as Ashlynn opened her eyes, she thought of what Jeremy said before she fainted. She sat up and said, "Where are
Mom and Dad buried? Take me there."
"Your body is very weak now. Stop moving." Jeremy was extremely anxious.
"I'll take you there," said Corentin.
Jeremy did not know why Corentin would say that. Why did he continue to egg her on?
However, would everything be alright if they did not bring her there? She would not be in a good state of mind either if they let
her make a fuss.
Therefore, they brought her to the cemetery.
Tears kept streaming down Ashlynn's face when she saw Beth's and Wallace's graves. She was so extremely saddened that she
almost could not stay standing. She needed Corentin to support her.
"Dad... Mom..."
Jeremy got teary-eyed, and he looked away.
"Why? Why?" Ashlynn shouted hysterically.
"Tommy was the one who killed them. He did it in the mountains. It was already too late when I got there. It's my fault," said
Corentin.
"No... I finally found my parents. I wanted to let them carry their grandchild. I don't understand. Why me..." Ashlynn was
extremely saddened.
She thought of her late adoptive parents. At that moment, her parents were dead too. Could it be that she did not deserve to
have parents in his life?
Ashlynn cried so hard in front of their tombstone that she fainted again. When she woke up in the car, she
realizednovelebook.com Corentin was hugging her. She pushed him away with resentment. "Don't touch me!"
"Ash!"
"You guys... You guys actually worked together and lied to me! Is it for the sake of the child in my belly? I'm not going to give
birth to this child anymore! I don't want to do it anymore!" Ashlynn could not calm down.
