True Love Waits

Chapter 1160 Died Of A Difficult Labor

"What did you say? She's dead?!" Tam's eyes opened wide in shock as he heard something his ears weren't willing to believe. His lips began to tremble.

"You don't even know about it. She's dead! She died while giving birth to Ethan. So tell me, Tam! Where the hell were you when she was crying out your name painfully in the hospital?" Erica bellowed. Tears welled up in her eyes as a painful memory came back and hit her along with the anger.

"But, that's impossible!"

"And yet it happened! So if you still have even an ounce of conscience left, go visit her tomb. I don't even know where she was buried. You can go to the Su family and ask them yourself; they were the ones who took care of her funeral." Not long after Ethan was born, Erica had left with the baby.

She was too young to manage a funeral. Unaware of what to do, she had merely sent people to inform the Su family.

"There must be some misunderstanding. She can't be dead!" Tam was still in denial.

"There is no misunderstanding. She is dead! You can go to the Su family's house and ask. Whatever you do, don't bother me anymore. I don't want to see you ever again, you hear me? Never!" Erica hated Tam so much, but he had still been pestering her with questions. Finally her patience had run out after a short while.

Tam still wanted to ask something, but the disgust in her eyes made him shut his mouth at last. He hesitantly kissed Ethan's soft little hand and then walked away dejectedly.

In retrospect, the man had looked rather calm and composed the whole time he had been talking to her, save for a little moment of excitement upon seeing Ethan for the first time.

It wasn't so impossible when one thought about it for a young girl to fall in love with him. He was rich and handsome, gentle and considerate, and seemed wise. But he was still a married man. It was morally wrong for Erica's friend, or anyone for that matter, to have an affair with this man.

The door was partially soundproof, which meant that although Matthew could hear someone speaking outside the inner chamber, he couldn't make out exactly what they were talking about.

However, he didn't come out of the inner chamber until the conversation outside had subsided completely.
