Chapter 260 Terence Rose From The Dead
Chapter 260 Terence Rose From The Dead
At the hospital.
Miraculously, Nicholas woke up that afternoon.
Edmund let out a long sigh of relief. If Nicholas didn't wake up, Marcus would have committed another
crime for killing his grandfather.
Marcus was scared to death of what happened. He was so confused. 'It's impossible! What happened?'
He injected Nicholas with the poison himself but why did he wake up?
When Nicholas woke up, he turned to the white-faced Marcus who was standing at the back of the
room and waved to him.
"Come here, Marcus. I'm thirsty. Can you please get me a glass of water?"
When he heard Nicholas call his name, Marcus took a deep breath to calm himself down. With shaking
hands, he walked towards Nicholas.
When he reached Nicholas, his whole body began trembling because Nicholas was staring at him
intensely.
"G...grandpa, here. I brought you your water."
Marcus said while passing a glass of water to Nicholas.
Nicholas reached out to him and pretended to not notice Marcus' trembling. Then he said, "Please help
me get up, Marcus..."
Marcus immediately placed the glass of water on the side table when he heard Nicholas' order. Then
he stepped closer to help him sit on the bed.
Nicholas leaned back against the headboard and reached out again to slowly take the glass of water
from them. Then he began drinking his water while watching Marcus who suddenly turned pale
because of his nervousness.
"Marcus, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so pale? Wow, you're sweating a lot!" Nicholas
asked deliberately with the glass still in his hands.
Marcus took a step back to maintain some distance from Nicholas and said, "Grandpa, I'm worried
about you. You've been unconscious for a long time and the doctor said that you would... I was so
surprised that my face blanched with fear and I started sweating. Thank God you came around!"
While nodding his head, Nicholas placed his glass down on the table when he heard what Marcus said.
"Oh, is that so? Although I've been unconscious for a long time, I could still hear something in my
sleep. I'm not sure whether it's just my imagination or something but I think I heard you whisper in my
ear that you were eagerly looking forward to..." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Well, it must be your imagination, grandpa. I didn't say anything to you yesterday because when I
arrived here, you were already in a coma and I left immediately to check on something," Marcus
interrupted him at once. He was afraid that Nicholas would say something else.
Nicholas replied with an "Oh". He leaned back against the headboard and closed his eyes, "That's fine.
It seems that it's only my imagination. I didn't think you would say that to me anyway. You're my
grandson and it's not right for a grandson to curse his grandpa."
At that moment.
Race came in the room and approached Nicholas to whisper something in his ear.
Suddenly, Nicholas got excited and grabbed Race's hand.
"What did you just say, Race? Are you sure that you just found Terence? Are you not mistaken? Tell me
all the details, now!"
Race smiled widely to him while nodding his head. Then he turned to Edmund and said, "Mr. Nicholas,
Mr. Edmund, it's true. Our staff from NF told us that they just found Mr. Terence!
He is currently safe and being attended to. He's been hiding in a farmer's house near the OS River
because of some compelling reason. He already contacted me and said that he would be boarding a
plane to JA City today. I'm sure that he's already on his way here.
If everything goes well, he'd be arriving here tonight."
The information that Race brought made Edmund stagger because of excitement. He walked towards
Race and grabbed his hand tightly then asked, "Race, What did you just say? Say it to me again!
Terence is still alive? Is he well? Was he hurt? What else do you know? Answer me right now!"
"Yes, Mr. Edmund, Mr. Terence is still alive. He called me and I recognized his voice so I am confident
that it was him!"
Race answered him with certainty, "However, he was seriously hurt so he didn't contact us immediately.
He's been recovering in the farmer's house."
Edmund heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He took a step back and gazed at the sky outside.
"Thank goodness! I am extremely grateful to the ancestor of the Ans for protecting their descendants.
Terence in particular! Thank you! Thank you very much!"
However, an arrogant voice was heard at that moment.
Marcus snorted and said, "Impossible! Terence's dead body was already found. How could it be
possible for him to still be alive?
There's no way! I'm sure that that was not him!"
Suddenly, the air inside the room seemed to have solidified. Everyone became quiet suddenly.
Edmund and Nicholas only recovered themselves after a few minutes. They almost spoke
simultaneously using one voice.
"What did you just say?"
Marcus finally realized his mistake! He spoke aloud and everybody heard his declaration. However, it
was more important for him to make them believe that Terence was already dead than hide the
information that he has.
"That couldn't be possible. His body was found and analyzed with his DNA and it showed that he was
already dead. He's already dead..."
Marcus couldn't calm down. There was no way that he could suddenly come back from the dead.
He was sure that Terence was already dead. He made of it! He arranged everything! If Terence didn't
die, that could only mean that he was now in a lot of trouble. Marcus couldn't accept that!
Was it too late for him to run away now?
How could he possibly face Terence now? Everything that he did to him would be known to everyone.
He was going to be exposed!
"Marcus, do you have any idea what you are saying?" Edmund finally regained his composure. He
walked towards Marcus and asked.
Marcus shook his head and tried to compose himself. Then he said, "Grandpa, father, I didn't want to
hide the truth from you on purpose. I was only afraid that you couldn't bear it if I told you what I knew.
However, Terence's body was already found. I dealt with it without informing you because the body was
so decomposed that I was sure that you couldn't bear the sight of it.
That is why it's impossible for Terence to still be alive!"
Edmund turned sorrowful again when he heard Marcus. He could no longer distinguish the truth from
the lie in Marcus' words.
However, Race began to speak again.
"Mr. Nicholas, Mr. Edmund, I think that you should relax. The voice I heard on the phone was definitely
Mr. Terence's. I know him since he was just a little boy so I am sure that I was not mistaken.
Let's just wait for him. When he arrives in the evening, we will finally know the truth. What do you say?"
Race said while looking at Edmund and Nicholas.
Nicholas nodded his head and said, "Race is right. We will know everything when Terence is back."
Edmund thought for a while and said, "Race, since Terence is arriving tonight, you should give me his
flight number and I will go to pick him up in person."
"Yes, Mr. Edmund. I'm going to confirm Terence's arrival time and inform you once I get it," Race
replied then headed out.
He needed to report the situation to Terence so he could prepare.
Marcus stood there like a fool. He kept on murmuring "Impossible".
He couldn't understand. The body that they got tested was Terence's. Why was there another Terence?
Where did he come from?
'No, it can't be him!
He must be a fake Terence!
Yes, that's the only thing that would make sense.' Marcus consoled himself with the thought. He
decided to confirm it himself.
He couldn't believe that Terence would return to life. He was already dead! It was simply
impossible!
