Chapter 4

After Natalya hung up Kate's call, I floated to Kate's place based on my feelings.

Kate and Libby, my sister, were standing in a funeral hall, each holding a box of ashes and crying uncontrollably.

I was anxiously pacing around them. Intending to comfort them, I was powerless.

Libby asked Kate angrily, "Have you contacted that bitch, Natalya?"

Kate shook her head, saying with suppressed anger in her tone, "No. She no longer answered my call later. I don't know where she went with Matthew."

Libby cursed angrily, saying, "In high school, she made Asher her loyal follower for three years. In college, she would go after Asher every time Matthew dumped her. Finally, they got married. She was as shameless as ever. Now that Asher and Linda are dead. Is she satisfied?"

The other relatives in the funeral parlor quickly changed the topic, saying that the police had intervened. the killer who had harmed me and Linda would be caught soon.

Libby finally calmed down a bit, but she couldn't stop crying.

The next day, Libby failed to reach Natalya.

She suppressed her anger and came to the seaside with my mother. Holding my ashes box, they slowly scattered my ashes into the sea.

After it was done, Libby sat by the seaside and burst into tears. I looked at her with heartache. I couldn't touch her head and comfort her like before.

I couldn't bear to continue watching. Then I drifted back to Natalya's side.

Natalya had been discharged from the hospital. She was choosing a cake with Matthew.

"Matthew, do you think Linda will forgive me?" Natalya picked up a huge strawberry cake.

Being careful with her actions, she sounded anxious.

Matthew sighed deeply, saying, "Natalya, Linda is not your biological daughter. You don't have to please her like this."

I was shocked by his words. "How come Linda is not Natalya's daughter?"

"How is this possible? I only had Natalya as my woman!"

"Linda was born from Natalya's ten months of pregnancy. I saw it with my own eyes!"

Natalya sighed, saying, "I was sad when I found out the truth. It turns out that Asher has never loved me."

"At that time, I had fallen in love with Asher. I didn't want to divorce him."

"Now, I keep in touch with you just to make him jealous."

Matthew was embarrassed.

"I watched Linda grow up. Even though she is Libby Shawn's daughter, I treat her as my adopted daughter."

I was dumbfounded. Seeing Matthew embracing Natalya, I couldn't bother to be angry anymore.

"Libby Shawn is my younger sister!"

"How could they have such a big misunderstanding against me?"

"No wonder Natalya has always disliked Libby. No wonder she is not concerned about Linda."

Matthew said with concern, "He doesn't love you at all. He loves your money. You should have divorced him!"

Natalya thought of something sad, and her eyes turned red.

"Don't mention this again. I won't divorce him until I find my biological daughter."

"I still love Asher, let alone the fact that I want to give my biological daughter a happy family!"

"If ghosts could shed tears, I would be in tears now."

"Linda! This is your good mother you have been thinking about every day! She doesn't treat you as her daughter at all."

"She's a fool! She believes whatever others say!"

"She keeps saying she loves me, but she doesn't believe me at all."

At this moment, watching Matthew tightly embrace Natalya, who was crying, I calmed down suddenly.

I was not jealous or sad anymore.

"After all, she's not worth it."

"Perhaps, this is what it feels like to not love somebody."

"Unfortunately, I only see through the reality after I die."

I watched Natalya buy a cake and walk towards home.
