Chapter 3946
He nuzzled his face against the baby girl’s, his eyes brimming with affection.
The little girl clumsily reached for the buttons on his shirt.
Raphael’s heart melted at the sight.
However, staying in the morgue for long wasn’t suitable, especially for a child.
So he returned the baby girl to Olivia’s care.
They stood facing each other.
Looking at Olivia, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
“Thank you for bringing Leyla here, Olivia.
My mother can now rest in peace.
”
Olivia remained silent in response.
Although it was an open secret, she was reluctant to broach the subject.
Instead, she would keep it to herself until the end of her days.
Near the door, Raphael’s assistant eavesdropped on their exchange.
She was astonished.
At that moment, a doctor approached her from the far end of the corridor and said something.
Subsequently, the assistant gently tapped on the door and relayed, “Mr.
Jones, there’s a doctor requesting your presence.
It concerns your mother.
”
A doctor wished to discuss his mother with him?
Raphael was taken aback by this revelation.
Before he could respond, the doctor had already entered the morgue.
After briefly inspecting the deceased, he fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly, “Mr.
Jones, I was informed about your mother’s accident by one of my colleagues.
In fact, she was under my care as a patient.
”
The doctor then retrieved a test report from his pocket and passed it to Raphael.
“Your mother was gravely ill.
It’s possible she didn’t have the opportunity to inform you.
She had been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer.
”
After saying that, the doctor left.
Maybe his true intention was to offer Raphael some comfort.
However, holding the medical report, Raphael was so shaken that his hands trembled.
He knew his mother intimately.
Thus, the car accident appeared far more complex than it initially seemed.
In reality, it was a suicide.
Kiley opted to end her own life in this manner to reunite him with Olivia.
After discovering the truth, Raphael was in immense pain.
He paced back and forth with the report for a prolonged period of time.
Finally, he gazed at Kiley’s body and uttered in a hoarse voice, “Why?”
Why didn’t Kiley value her life and conceal her illness from him?
She didn’t realize that it was pointless to do so.
He and Olivia could no longer be together, not due to the feud between their parents and families but from the growing distance between them over the years.
