Chapter 1035 Weston responded and withdrew his gaze. He looked at Warren and greeted him.
“Grandpa…
“You finally came!”
Warren gave him an expressionless look and tried to
suppress his anger. “I heard that you took Stella away?” Weston did not answer his question. Instead, he walked to
Zachary and looked at him through the glass enclosure. Warren hunched over. “Zack is here. I don‘t want to say
anything harsh, but I‘m not going to forgive Stella.”
Weston still did not say anything.
He went over to the casket and put his hand on it. “Have you made arrangements for the funeral?”
No one answered him. Everyone thought that he was too cold–blooded for Zachary.
Only Wendy gave him a look and answered softly, “Dad said he didn‘t want to make a big funeral. He wanted Zack
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto leave quietly...”
There wasn‘t a greater sorrow than death. At this point, Warren barely had any energy to organize a big funeral.
Zachary‘s death seemed to have sucked his spirit away.
Warren said in an old voice, “The Cohen family will be here in another hour. We‘ll hold a short ceremony for Zack.
Be humble in front of the Cohen family. Zachary is their grandson too...”
Weston responded with a nod and said nothing more.
Most of the Ford family members were here. Xavier and Daisy were waiting for them outside. They understandingly
left some time and space for the people inside.
It was a human life, after all. Although Xavier was not close to Zachary, he felt sorry about his death.
Meanwhile , Daisy felt like she was in a dream. She even held Zachary in her arms two days ago and teased him.
She was thinking how amazing it was to see a little face that resembled Weston so much. She did not expect to see
Zachary lying lifelessly in a blink of an eye, unable to open his eyes again.
She breathed a sigh. “I didn‘t think Stella would be so cruel...”
Hearing that, Xavier looked up at her. He tilted his head slightly and leaned against the wall behind him. “You sound
like you‘re sure that Stella is the murderer.” His tone, however, was unclear.
Daisy looked up at him with some confusion. “In this situation, isn‘t it obvious that she‘s likely the murderer?”
The evidence was released to the internet at Warren‘s order. Looking at the way things looked, it was obvious that
Stella was the murderer. The rest had no motive to commit the crime.
The poisoning had been confirmed, and the only one who could poison Zachary was Stella. After all, Warren,
Wendy, Chris, Guinevere , and Weston did not seem capable of poisoning Zachary.
Smoking was prohibited in the hospital.
Xavier fished a lighter out of his pocket and played with it in his hand. He lighted it and put it out every now and
then.
“Do you really think she‘s the kind of woman who‘d hurt a child who‘s barely two?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXavier used to hate Stella and held a strong prejudice against her. However, the events at the engagement party
made him see her in a new light.
Although he still had a bad feeling about her, he believed there was no reason for her to take such a huge risk to kill
Zachary. No matter which way it went, there would be no benefit for her.
Besides, she had used oleanders to poison him. It was too obvious. She would undoubtedly be the first suspect
because she had a pot of poisonous oleander with her.
She did not have to do this at all.
Daisy frowned a little and thought about it. “I don‘t know. Maybe she‘s not scared of the suspicion ? Maybe she
thinks Weston will protect her for sure?” “Well, she‘s pretty confident of herself then.”
––
Xavier looked up nonchalantly and shot Daisy a quick glance. “You‘re a woman. What do you think is going on in
Stella’s mind?”
“I haven‘t the slightest.... A smile tugged on Daisy‘s lips. “Not every woman can do such a thing... After all, it‘s a
human life.”
