CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Linda instinctively covered her stomach, palms sweating. She forced a smile, "I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of retribution."

Seeing them speak in riddles, Sally didn't quite understand. However, sensing something amiss with Nina, she coldly asked, "What are you doing here? I'm just trying to take a break and still run into you." Linda quickly replied, "I just asked, it seems Nina attended a funeral here, right in this place."

"A funeral?" Sally felt embarrassed and quickly pulled Linda away, saying, "Don't stand with her, it's ominous!"

Nina pursed her lips and remarked calmly, "The area you're in is all cemetery."

"In such a place? Linda, why would you come here?" Sally urged, "Let's go elsewhere, this place is too eerie, not good for the baby!"Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

As they conversed, Sue, who happened to be standing at the entrance of the cemetery, caught sight of them. She frowned at Linda's figure. It was that woman!

Sue clenched her fists, brows furrowed. Why was that woman here? Was she acquainted with Nina? Did they have a grudge? Suddenly, Sue recalled Nina's words about her father's death having another perpetrator, an instigator...

"Sue," Lily's hoarse voice interrupted, "What are you looking at?"

Just having gone through the pain of losing her father, Lily looked somewhat haggard. She was about to head home when she noticed Sue standing there motionless. Following her gaze, she caught sight of Nina's figure. The shadows of the others were nowhere to be seen.

"Look at her! Your dad's dead, not a single tear shed from her. She's just heartless!" Lily said bitterly.

Sue snapped out of her daze, looking at Lily with a distracted air. "Mom, let's go back," she said, head hanging low, her mind preoccupied with something she was not sure if she should share.

Back home, a photo of Xander hung on the wall, and Lily couldn't help but cry at the sight, her emotions stirred by the memories. The person who was here just days ago suddenly gone, leaving behind an eerie emptiness.

Crash! Sue accidentally broke a cup, startling Lily, who was immersed in grief.

Lily turned to her. "Sue, what's wrong with you? You can't even hold a cup steady! Our family is not the same as before. We have debts to pay, we have to tighten our belts. You have to be more careful." Sue's face paled, looking at Lily, who was crying heavily. She couldn't help but walk over. "Mom, have you ever thought about what Nina said?"

"What did she say?"

"Someone killed Dad."

Lily's tone intensified. "You believe her nonsense too?"

Sue hesitated, feeling conflicted. Lily noticed her silence, her distracted demeanor and continued, "Sue, from now on, it's just us. If anyone bullies you, tell me. Even though your dad is gone, I'm still here. I'll make sure this family stays strong!"

She was determined not to be looked down upon.

Sue anxiously picked at her fingers, then looked at Lily, her emotions welling up. "Mom, I'm sorry! It's my fault. Dad kidnapped Nina because of you! I should've stopped him, but I didn't. I didn't want Dad to die!"

As she spoke, she broke down in tears.

Lily's tears stopped, replaced by shock as she looked at Sue. "You need to explain yourself clearly."
