Chapter 644 Death

Book:You Are My Mr Right Published:2024-6-4

Elijah sat calmly on the sofa, cradling little Bao in his arms, playing with his son as he spoke, “The old man is dead.”
Freya’s expression froze for a moment. “The old man is dead?”
Which old man?
“Surname Silverton.”
Elijah spoke nonchalantly, his tone devoid of emotion.
But Freya was shocked. She understood who Elijah was referring to as the old man.
“Dead? From illness?” Freya knew Jack was sick.
Although his condition was severe, he had been kept stable with good medicine, so it shouldn’t have happened so suddenly…
“Anger.” Elijah spoke without looking at her, his voice casual.
Freya’s eye twitched. “Did you anger him to death?”
“There is an indirect connection.” Elijah said.
Freya hesitated, then took the child from Elijah’s arms and handed him to Linda before dragging Elijah upstairs.
Once in the room, she immediately asked, “What’s going on?”
Elijah sat on the edge of the bed, lazily gazing at her, smiling, “Why so nervous?”
Freya didn’t understand Elijah’s current mood.
She knew he was deeply disappointed and resentful towards Jack, and she was aware of that.
But to not feel anything at all, or any sadness towards the passing of a blood relative?
“Aren’t you always asking me what I’m up to? Come here, I’ll tell you.”
He reached out to Freya.
Freya hesitated, then slowly walked over and placed her hand in his.
Elijah held her hand, then pulled her into his arms with a bit of force.
Freya settled on his lap.
Elijah wrapped his arm around her waist, leaned down to her ear and whispered, “Do you think I’m cold-blooded?”
“No.” Freya shook her head, wrapping her arms around his neck, “I know you’re a good person.”
Elijah was amused, “A good person? Is that a compliment?”
“It’s the best compliment, you don’t want to be a good person, do you want to be a bad one?” Freya gently stroked his cheek, looking deeply into his eyes, “Are you really okay?”
After all, Jack was his relative, and now he’s gone.
He’s lost all his blood-related relatives!
At least she still had her mother.
But what does Elijah have?
“I have you, don’t I?” Elijah said.
Freya hugged him, “Yes, I will take good care of you.”
Elijah scoffed, “Are you taking care of me, or am I taking care of you?”
Freya felt a lump in her throat, “I will resign.”
But things are not resolved yet.
Elijah held her hand, gently rubbing his thumb on the back of her hand, speaking very softly, “He asked me to release Thorne, but I refused. He got angry, had an attack, and died without timely treatment.”
“Thorne?”
Freya frowned slightly, “Wasn’t he in a confused state from medication before?”
“I’m not sure how he regained clarity, but he was behind what happened last time.”
Elijah suspected him.
But there was no evidence.
He had arranged his own people to monitor Thorne at the old mansion, and after some time, they found evidence!
When he went to arrest him, Jack stopped him.
A confrontation ensued, and Jack fell ill!
Freya pieced it together.
She stood up from his embrace, infuriated and upset, “It was him? He’s the mastermind behind it all, because of him, Sacha…”
At this moment, Freya hated herself even more!
She shouldn’t have been softhearted.
Shouldn’t have suggested medication for Thorne.
Should have been ruthless!
Because of her compassion, she caused this tragedy!
“Freya.”
Elijah held her hand, “This is not your fault.”
