When Zeke did that, he was shocked to learn that Sherry's blood was still flowing, and her heart still had
movements, though barely. Her lungs were moving very faintly, too, meaning she was still breathing.
Yet, her heart and lung movements were so faint that ordinary people wouldn't be able to detect them.
It would appear Sherry merely entered a state of suspended animation.
Patting Gregory's shoulder, Zeke said, “We shouldn't waste any time and bury Sherry right away, Gregory.”
Zeke suspected that Yannick and Yoshua were the ones responsible for Sherry's fake death.
Once Sherry was buried, Yannick and Yoshua would likely rescue her and take her far away.
That was the reason Zeke wanted Gregory to bury her as soon as possible. It was to lure Yannick and Yoshua out.
Emotionally, Gregory rejected, “No, we can't do that! According to our customs, the body must stay here for three
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdays! Otherwise, the dead will become a wandering ghost in the underworld.”
His wife also insisted the same thing.
With no other choice, Zeke said, “You two, follow me inside. I need to speak to you two about something.”
Gregory and his wife exchanged a glance. Why does he always act so suspenseful?
In the end, both of them followed him deeper into the house.
Upon closing the door, Zeke said, “Do you two want to save your daughter?”
Gregory and his wife were confounded. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Williams?”
“I mean exactly what I said. Do you want your daughter alive or dead?”
That made Gregory a little angry. “Are you joking with us right now, Mr. Williams? My daughter is dead. Do we have
other choices?”
Zeke shook his head. “No, your daughter's not dead yet. She merely entered a state of suspended animation. She
can still be saved.”
“What?” Gregory and his wife gazed at him. “A-Are you sure, Mr. Williams? My daughter's not really dead?”
“Yes. I just confirmed it earlier.”
“How is that possible? How is it possible?” There was still disbelief in Gregory's tone. “The doctor examined her
earlier. How can she still be alive?”
“Since things have turned out this way, I'll just tell you two the truth. I suspect Yannick and Yoshua did this.”
The couple stared at him. “You mean it's likely that Yannick and Yoshua did this to our daughter, Mr. Williams?”
“Yes. As you two know, Yannick likes Sherry. He'll definitely find a way to take her away. If they had come to ask for
your daughter openly, you two would definitely not hand her to them. So, they came up with this plan. First, they
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmput Sherry into a state of suspended animation, making you two think that she's dead. Then, after she's buried,
they'll dig her body up, rescue her, and leave far away from here.”
Zeke's words made logical sense to them, so they believed him.
Undoubtedly, that made Gregory even more furious. “How dare that b*stard Yannick touch my daughter! If I find
him, I'm going to feed him to the dogs!”
His wife kneeled in front of Zeke. “Please save my daughter, Mr. Williams. I'm willing to do anything you want for
the rest of my life if you can save my daughter.”
Gregory kneeled in front of him, too. “Please, help us, Mr. Williams.”
“I'll save your daughter, sure. However, have you two thought about what'll happen after that? Even if I save your
daughter this time, do you think Yannick and Yoshua will just give up willingly? There's no doubt that they'll do
something similar in the future. I won't lie. There's no way either of you can protect your daughter from them.”
With gritted teeth, Gregory declared, “Then I'll chop them into pieces and feed them to the dogs. I bet they
wouldn't dare to take my daughter away again after that.”
