Chapter 1849 Suicide
Just like that, we stayed by Summer’s side quietly until the ambulance came and took Jared’s body
away.
After watching Summer leave together with the ambulance, I caught a glimpse of Nathaniel from the
corner of my eye.
He was standing far behind the crowd as if he was a lonely spirit. Despite the distance, I could feel the
animosity he emanated that seemed to warn everyone to keep their distance.
Although we were standing far apart, I was certain that he was looking at me.
In fact, I figured that he was already watching when Ashton dived to save me.
Instead of confronting me about it, he just wanted to convey the fact that he was aware of everything I
was doing.
It was just like a husband who was unwilling to disturb the status quo despite knowing his wife was
cheating on him. Even though the betrayal was obvious to all, both sides chose to remain oblivious

Evidently, that was the choice he made.
By the time I reached home, feeling uneasy, Nathaniel was sitting on the sofa. He didn’t question me nor
did I say a word. The atmosphere was rather peaceful as if nothing had happened at all.
Since he didn’t bring up the matter, I continued to play dumb. Staying by his side, I waited for the next
opportunity to execute my plan.
The awkward tension lasted for about a week. One afternoon, Nathaniel came back home suddenly after
having just left.
When I saw him barge in, I couldn’t help but sneer, “What’s wrong? Were you not able to resist checking
on me? Are you going to revoke my freedom and privileges next?”
Nathaniel didn’t respond to my taunts. After a long silence, he muttered grimly, “Nick is dead.”
My body froze while still holding the remote. At the same time, I felt my heart sink.
The next moment, my heart pounded so fast that it felt numb, causing me to wonder if I had heard
wrong.
After more than ten seconds, I looked at him doubtfully and remarked, “This joke of yours isn’t funny at
all.”
He did promise me that as long as I didn’t cry, he would allow Nick to live.
Despite having a questionable character, Nathaniel was still someone who kept his word to me.
Hence, I assumed that it was one of his tricks to break the ice between us.
Unfortunately, Nathaniel furrowed his brows suddenly. With an apologetic look on his face, he stared at
me without rebutting.
His reaction caught me by surprise. I was looking forward to him telling me that it was nothing but a joke.
As panic slowly gripped me, I gulped and asked seriously, “Did you kill Nick?”
“Not me,” Nathaniel clarified instantly. “He committed suicide by jumping from the same spot his mother
did. Moreover, he didn’t hesitate at all.”
All of a sudden, I stopped breathing and could feel my heart squeezing so painfully that I could barely

As blood rushed into my brain, my nose began to fill with its stench.
Without any warning, I began to puke intensely. Holding onto the sofa for support, I was nothing but a
total mess.
It wasn’t until my stomach was empty that I finally stopped.
Meanwhile, when Nathaniel tried to comfort me a couple of times, I shoved him away. Just like a kid that
had done something wrong, he stood there helplessly.
Since Nick had told me that he would live on for the child, I came to the conclusion that Nathaniel was
behind his death. Pointing at him, I accused him in a harrowing tone, “It’s you! You’re the one that
pushed him down. You’re the murderer! I will never forgive you and will haunt you even after I’m dead! I
will kill you and dice you into pieces so that Nick and Rose can have their revenge!”
Just as I spoke, I charged at him and strangled him by the neck with all my might.
In spite of that, Nathaniel didn’t dodge and allowed me to suffocate him till his face turned red. Even
though his neck was resisting stiffly, he still didn’t budge. In fact, he broke into a smile as if he was
looking forward to it.
