CHAPTER 1475 KATHLEEN IS DEAD

The other reason was he wanted to repay Hathaway's help over the years. Even though he tried his best to tuck these thoughts away, Hathaway could still read his mind like a book. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

But she didn't say anything because she knew that he would do whatever she said right now, and that didn't affect her decision to hand over the band to him.

After they had finalized the discussion with the band, the sounds of footsteps echoed from outside the room again. Then, two officers came in with a stretcher, on which Kathleen lay underneath a white cloth after she had just been executed.

Hathaway staggered over with her hands hanging mid-air, but she lacked the courage to lift the white cloth. In the end, she held the hand that fell out of the fabric. "Kathleen, I'm here to take you home." Her eyes were red-rimmed, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

Mona watched the scene with a heavy heart and went forward to offer her help, but Hathaway turned her down. "Kathleen didn't like you. It's better if you don't touch her, or she may be unhappy even in death," she said and told Mona to leave.

Her words stabbed Mona's heart, and she thought, Apparently, Miss Hathaway is mad at me because of Kathleen's death.

Scott sensed something amiss, so he tilted his head at her and whispered, "Miss Hathaway is close to a mental breakdown. Why don't you return lest you agitate her further? I'll take care of things here and make sure that everything is okay."

The other reason was he wanted to repay Hathaway's help over the years. Even though he tried his best to tuck these thoughts away, Hathaway could still read his mind like a book.

Since Mona didn't have any better idea, she could only comply. After she left the prison, her chest felt stuffy and unbearable, and she desperately wanted to confide in someone. Hence, she took out her phone and called Tessa, "Kathleen is dead."

For a moment, Tessa fell silent at the news before she said solemnly, "Miss Hathaway… Is she okay?"

Mona immediately recounted what happened in prison earlier, "Miss Hathaway is passing the band to Mr. Brooks and plans to go on a vacation with Kathleen's ashes."

Tessa was dumbstruck as she didn't think that Hathaway would be willing to hand over her band. So, that evening when Nicholas returned home, he found her sitting on the bed looking troubled. "What happened?"

"Oh, you're home." Tessa got out of bed and helped him to remove his clothes.

Once he shrugged off his jacket, he pulled her into his arms and asked, "You didn't answer my question earlier. What was on your mind?"

"Nothing, actually. It's just that today is Kathleen's execution day." She draped his jacket over her arm and lamented at the news she received during the day. "I never imagined that Miss Hathaway would give away her band, not to mention that things would end up this way."

Nicholas looked a little helpless as he gazed at his sentimental wife. "Don't brood over it. All these have nothing to do with us anymore. Your priority now is to get well soon and keep yourself in high spirits

every day," he advised.

Tessa nodded, agreeing that all these things were unrelated to her. After all, regarding Kathleen, she had never goaded nor incited Kathleen into a fight. In contrast, it was Kathleen who kept messing with her.

…

Early next morning, after they had breakfast together as a family, Nicholas went to work while Tessa played with Gregory in the garden for a while, like usual, before dropping him off at school.

Then, she brought Gordon to enjoy the morning sun in the garden. While they were basked in the warm sun and feeling somewhat drowsy, Andrew walked over. "Madam, Miss Gulliver is here."

Tessa nodded in acknowledgment and asked him to lead her to the garden. When Sabrina arrived, she thought that the scene in front of her eyes was stunning. In the pretty garden, Tessa was seated on the rocking chair, rocking back and forth leisurely. Coupled with the elegance that was unique to her, Sabrina couldn't help but think that the scene had a unique serene charm to it.
