The Silent Wife

Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Janice’s voice sounded like the air before the rain-heavy and depressing.

“When I arrived at the scene immediately after receiving the news, the police team had already been dismissed. The ambulance was still there, but they didn’t manage to save Madam Tiller. She’s gone.”

Rachel’s head seemed to implode with a bang’. Grandma is… gone?

Brakes screeched on the street as the high-pitched noise pierced everyone’s ears.

Gloria turned back in a panic to see the color being drained from Rachel’s face. “Miss Rachel!”

Rachel didn’t hear Gloria’s voice as she snatched Victor’s phone from him. Rachel was in disbelief as she tried to communicate through the phone, but the only thing that came out of her open mouth was a heart wrenching ‘Aaaaaah!’

She couldn’t believe Janice’s words. How could Grandma be dead?

Nancy’s surgery was a success, especially after all of the hardship that they had to endure. Julian even informed that grandma would live a healthy and peaceful life from then on.

In the hospital morgue, as soon as the doctor removed the white cloth, Rachel fell to her knees with tears streaming down her face.

“Miss Rachel”

Gloria wanted to say something, but Victor interrupted, “Let’s head out first. She needs some time alone with Madam Tiller.”

No one had understood the feeling better than him-to have only one person left in the whole wide world to depend on and support. If his own grandmother passed away, he probably would have reacted in the same manner.

Upon seeing Nancy’s lifeless face, Rachel couldn’t breathe for a moment before she leaned against the bed and wept.

Her wails echoed in the corridor.

After what seemed like an eternity, arguments started to come from the corridor.
