I Got Married Without You

Chapter 1579 Erin is dead 

They helped Stella take a bath and wanted to take her to a hotel to rest. However, Stella insisted on waiting for Henry’s surgery to finish because she was worried about him. When she heard from the doctor that Henry’s surgery was successful, she finally felt relieved.

Henry was still unconscious from the anesthesia. Once Stella knew he was okay, with Eva’s persuasion, she got up. But before she could leave the room, a bodyguard sent by James suddenly came in with a phone call.

“Mr. Evans, Erin is dead.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

James froze for a moment. Without waiting for the bodyguard to finish, he immediately hung up the phone and turned to look at Stella, who was slowing down her steps.

After hesitating for two seconds, he spoke, “Stella, Erin is dead…”

Stella’s body suddenly stiffened. Whether it was fear or something else, she felt her hands tremble in an instant, followed by her legs weakening and her inability to stand steadily.

If it weren’t for Amelia and Eva supporting her on both sides, she would have collapsed on the ground by now.

Her face gradually turned pale, and her once sturdy back that refused to turn also visibly slumped down…

She froze in place, not knowing how long, until James’ cold voice came again from her car, and she slowly turned her head…

“What?”

She didn’t hear anything clearly just now, as if the whole world had become silent, leaving only the ringing in her cars and the explosive wailing in her mind, preventing her from hearing what Mr. Evans said…

James held his phone tightly and took heavy steps towards Stella.

“The police temporarily won’t let anyone touch his body. If you want to see him, you can see him for the last time before they arrive.”

Erin died from a gunshot, which was a criminal case and required the crime scene to be sealed. In addition, the American police were also investigating Erin’s whereabouts, so the body couldn’t be easily taken away.

Stella, still in a daze, heard the words “body” and finally realized that Erin was really dead. But he was so skilled in medicine, how could this happen…

When he was young, he had once survived a gunshot wound in the wilderness, performing the surgery himself. Back then, he managed to pull through, so why now…

Stella lowered her gaze to her hands, which were already clean

with no traces of blood. But for some reason, she still felt like her hands were covered in blood…

After staring at them for a long time, she suddenly let go of Amelia and Eva’s hands, rushed out of the ward, and ran into the restroom. She desperately tried to wash off the “blood” from her hands, but no matter how hard she tried, it wouldn’t come off.

Feeling powerless, she leaned her hands against the edge of the sink; looked up at herself in the mirror-pale face, lips devoid of color, dark circles under her eyes…

She told herself that she had become this way because of Erin. If he died, she could peacefully live the rest of her life without anyone bothering her…

Thinking of this, Stella’s eyes unexpectedly turned red.

She raised her hand and slapped herself hard, feeling foolish. Why was she feeling upset and why should she be upset?

He’s dead, so what? Why should she feel upset?!

However, her tears continued to flow uncontrollably.

Erin was the person she had loved with all her might when she was young. She actually shot and killed him…

Stella slapped herself hard again. She shouldn’t be crying for a man who had bullied her since childhood and even took away her uterus. He deserved it!

She felt like she was being torn apart internally. After struggling repeatedly in her mind, she turned on the faucet, desperately splashing water on her face. After splashing herself awake, she grabbed a tissue and expressionlessly wiped the water off her face.
