Chapter 33: Mother’s Death
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The strange-looking man was very optimistic about Tiffany’s way of doing things and found her very interesting. He took the name card from the bodyguard’s hands. The word ‘Eiffel’ entered his sight, and he also muttered it out loud.
As he watched her leave, a different feeling arose in his heart. He couldn’t tell what was different, but he felt weird.
Olivia was in a very good mood on the way home. The white poplar outside the window receded one by one. Looking at the moving vehicles, she finally felt a little comforted.
Olivia suddenly saw the hospital, so she hurriedly stopped the car. She wanted to see if her mother’s nanny, Allie, was still there. She mustered her courage and walked into the white ward, but she didn’t see Allie’s figure for a long time.
Olivia found a nurse and asked, “Where’s the person that was here?”
The nurse was puzzled by the question. People came and went from the hospital. There were all kinds of people who were hospitalized and discharged every day. How would she know which one?
“Allie.”
Only then did the nurse carefully think about it. Then, she said calmly, “She passed away. The corpse is still in the morgue. The family hasn’t come to claim it yet. Are you her family?”
Olivia was stunned.
‘Allie is dead? How is that possible? Allie looked well before! How could she have died just like that!?’
Olivia felt that the nurse was joking with her and asked again, “It’s that sweet-looking, 40-year-old Allie who was on this bed.”
The nurse nodded solemnly. The people working in the hospital were indifferent to life and death. Olivia’s expression was also within her expectations.
Tiffany felt that Allie’s name was very familiar. It took her a long time to remember that she was the nanny of Olivia’s mother. She looked at her cousin, who was feeling a little uncomfortable and pulled the nurse aside.
“It’s like this. Madam Allie is my aunt’s nanny. Since no one came to get her, let’s help her with the burial procedures. My cousin can’t accept it at the moment, so don’t agitate her.”
The nurse was in a difficult position. “The hospital has a clear rule. If you’re not a family member, you can’t do this. I’m just a nurse and can’t make the decision. You should ask the director. I’ll bring you there.”
Under the guidance of the nurse, Olivia walked forward step by step. As she looked at the people coming in and leaving the hospital, she suddenly felt emotional. When she was young, she especially hated hospitals—this was the starting point of life and death. Every time she came here, it would be very depressing.
Unknowingly, they arrived at the hospital director’s office. The nurse explained the situation, so there was no need for Tiffany to say much.
“The situation is like this. We’ve been to Allie’s house several times, but no one was home. We were prepared to deal with it ourselves, but since you’re here, I’ll leave the corpse to you.”
Only then did Olivia accept the grievous news of Allie’s death. She couldn’t help but ask, “How did she die?”
The director took out a folder and placed it in front of Olivia. “Take a look for yourself. It’s very detailed.”
Olivia’s hands trembled as she flipped through the documents page by page. The more she read, the more agitated she became. Allie’s death was exactly the same as her mother’s death.
Tiffany sensed that something was wrong with Olivia and started to show concern.
“Olivia, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you’re feeling unwell, you can do a check-up here at the hospital. The remnants of the LSD may be still in your body.”
Olivia shook her head. “Cousin, I’m not feeling unwell. It’s just that Allie’s death is similar to Mom’s. It can be said that it’s almost exactly the same. I feel that Mom’s death isn’t that simple. I talked to Allie before, but she’s gone now.”
The director was a little scared upon hearing this. Wasn’t this a very normal natural death? Why did it become a serial murder case in the mouth of this beautiful woman?
He was a little afraid of involving the hospital, so he was busy getting them to take the body away for burial.
“This is your family matter, and I’m not too interested in the outcome. I hope you can bury her as soon as possible. If you want a quiet cemetery, I know one and can help you contact them. Of course, if you need the hospital’s cooperation in the future, we’ll do our best.”
The director’s intention to chase them away was so obvious that Tiffany didn’t know what else to say. She asked him to help her contact the cemetery and bury Allie. The burial ceremony was very quiet, with no family by her side.
If anyone really cared about Allie, they wouldn’t have left her alone in the hospital for so long. Perhaps this was also a form of release.
Looking at Allie’s tombstone, Olivia started to cry.
“Cousin, Mom’s death isn’t that simple. The mastermind can’t sit still anymore and has already started to take action. Do you know what happened to my mother in the past?”
Tiffany expressed that she didn’t know either. The light in Olivia’s eyes dimmed again.
“However, Dad should know something. But he’s in Philadelphia. I’ll settle the matters at hand first before asking. Do you want to go back and meet Grandpa and Grandma?”
Tiffany’s words were somewhat probing. She wanted to hand this responsibility over to Olivia, but she was greatly disappointed. Olivia shook her head.
“Now is not the time. My womb is getting bigger by the day. Let’s talk about it after I give birth to Mia.”
‘Mia? She has even thought of the child’s name.’
Tiffany was indeed very happy. Since Olivia had said so, Tiffany wouldn’t force her. When Olivia was willing to face it, Tiffany would face it with her.
“Okay, let’s get some flowers for Allie.”
Olivia picked up the flowers and bowed very sincerely. She touched Allie’s black-and-white photo and swore in her heart, ‘Allie, don’t worry. I’ll find the culprit who harmed you and Mom. I’ll make their life a living hell.’
…
In the Ford Corporation’s highest level office building, a man sat with his legs crossed, staring at the computer with a serious expression.
“What did Mrs. Ford do today?”
Paul looked at his boss’ face and confirmed that he really wanted to hear it. Then, he started talking. “Mrs. Ford went to investigate the video today and buried a woman named Allie.”
Brian suddenly raised his head. “Oh? Go and check Allie’s background. I want detailed information on her. Let our men secretly protect Olivia. If anything happens, you can all retire.”
Paul nodded and walked out of the office. He ran into a secretary who had come to deliver documents.
After the secretary saw him, her face turned red, and she stuttered, “Mr. Paul, can I have dinner with you tonight?” She brushed her hair that was scattered in front of her.
Paul frowned and moved to the side. “I don’t feel like eating tonight. You’d better hurry up and deliver the documents. Otherwise, Mr. Ford will scold you if you’re late.”
He then left in a cool manner.
The secretary snorted. “You really think too highly of yourself. Letting you eat with me is an honor for you. You don’t know what’s good for you!”
