Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 183

Chapter 183

“Julie!” Daphne called out as she chased after her.

Lionel, left with no choice, pulled his hoodie over his head, picked up his shoes, and followed.

When did he start fetching shoes for other people’s wives?

Daphne followed Julie, calling her name. She watched as Julie walked past the operating room and stopped outside.

“Is this the patient from the explosion at the old factory at Enchanted Pathway?” The doctor asked the nurse at the entrance of the operating room.

The nurse nodded, her expression serious.

“Has the victim’s identity been confirmed?” The doctor asked.

“The victim is six foot two, the CEO of Simpo Co…” The nurse began to reply.

Before she could finish, Julie collapsed by the bedside, startling the nurse and the doctor.

Daphne, who was about to come over, was shaking her head in disbelief. “No way… It can’t be…”

“The victim has been burned beyond recognition…”, The nurse gently reminded Julie, whose hand was resting on the edge of the white bedsheet.

She didn’t say a word, but tears kept falling like pearls off a broken string.

Her hand remained on the sheet, but she didn’t lift it.

Her hands were trembling, the fingertips of the hand gripping the sheet turning white. Tears streamed down her face.

She bit her lower lip until the last bit of color faded.

Seeing Julie like this broke Daphne’s heart. After all, the victim was the man Julie loved the most…

“Julie…” Daphne choked out, stepping forward to support Julie. She comforted her gently, stroking her back.

“We don’t have to look anymore, Julie… okay?” Daphne said, freeing one hand to gently hold the one gripping the sheet.

“No… It’s not him!!” Julie growled out. Ignoring Daphne’s attempt to stop her, she yanked off the sheet covering the body.

A strong smell of blood hit their noses instantly. Daphne quickly turned her face away. She couldn’t bear to face this scene, let alone look at the charred body of Kieran.

Seeing the unrecognizable man didn’t stop the tears welling up in Julie’s eyes. She tried to touch his face with her trembling fingers, but she couldn’t.

I don’t believe it!” Julie shook her head. She grabbed Daphne, her voice hoarse as if someone was choking her. “Daphne, tell me it’s not him, right?”
