Chapter 1135 Dr. Quirk paused after he spoke, then added, “There are many others who are very worried about
you... and Stella.”

He did not refer to Stella as a dead corpse right away and maintained a natural and casual tone as he spoke.
“Stella has many friends who want to see her too, you know. Shouldn’t you let them meet her for a short while?”
“No.” Weston quickly refused very decisively. “She doesn‘t need those friends of hers. She only needs me.”
He stroked her hair and gazed at her closed eyes. Emotions seemed to be churning inside his eyes... but he quickly
recovered and regained his composure. When he looked up at the man in front of him again, all the tenderness in
his eyes vanished, and only icy coldness was left.
“If that‘s all you came here to say,” he told Dr. Quirk,” then you can leave now.”
Dr. Quirk knew that this was his last opportunity to get through to him. If he failed to persuade Weston this time,
there wouldn‘t be another chance.
“Mr. Ford,” he began, “I know you still can‘t accept the truth, but you can‘t change the past. You can only move

“When she was still alive,” he hastily added, “you‘ve always neglected her needs and desires. Now that she‘s dead,
will you continue to treat her so poorly?” His words managed to make Weston instantly freeze in his tracks.
Weston‘s eyes were clouded over as if a gloomy storm was brewing inside. He turned around and looked straight at
Dr. Quirk.
“She has to always stay by my side,” he said solemnly.” She‘s not allowed to go anywhere.”
“But that was not what she wanted, right? She must‘ve
uffered severe depression before she died. That‘s why she decided to...”
“Back then, you told me that she might have Stockholm syndrome, which made her fall in love with her captor,”
Weston taunted him in a sarcastic tone. “And now you‘re telling me that she was suffering from severe depression?
You can‘t blame me for questioning your credentials now, can you, Dr. Quirk?”
At this point, there was no longer any need for Dr. Quirk to keep on pretending. –“I confess that I lied to you about
Stockholm syndrome,”
he admitted, “but it was only so you would drop your guard against her... because I knew that she had a plan in
mind. I just didn‘t know that her plan was to...”
Commit suicide.
“So you‘re partially responsible for her death too,” Weston suddenly rushed up towards him with an intimidating air
surrounding him.

It was undeniable that this man exuded a mighty aura. Even after cutting all contact with the outside world for so
many days, that cold and terrifying aura around him didn‘t weaken in the slightest.
“Mr. Ford...” Dr. Quirk took a step back without even thinking. “I came here today just to try to persuade you to
change your mind. If you want to seek revenge, then go ahead.”
He then took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and added, ” Let her go. Do her one last favor.”
“Everything I‘ve done,” Weston clenched his fists, “I did it all for her. What right did she have to leave me just like
that? No, I‘ll never let her go.”
“But she is gone!” Dr. Quirk could not help reminding him. “All that‘s left by your side is a corpse! A corpse, do you
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmunderstand?! It‘s time to give her a proper funeral. If souls really do exist, then surely she wouldn‘t be willing to be
chained to you after her death...”
Those were the last words that would send Weston off the rails. He punched Dr. Quirk in the face and told him, “Get
out of my house.”
Dr. Quirk let Weston hit him without fighting back. “It doesn‘t matter even if you punch me to death,” he said. “The
truth remains...”
“Weston,” continued Dr. Quirk. “Let her go.”
Weston was panting heavily as he glowered at the doctor with red, burning eyes. For a long time, it seemed he
didn‘t hear what Dr. Quirk had said. He pursed his lips tightly and pulled Stella into his embrace.
Then, looking at her face, he leaned down and kissed her forehead, his voice turning warm and gentle as he said, “
Let‘s go back to our room.”
As soon as he said that, he turned and strode away.
