Something flashed across Matthias’ gaze and swiftly disappeared.
He answered, “I’ll stall for some time and come visit snazzynovel.com daily. Mrs. Southall can sign the contract when snazzynovel.com recovers.”
Henrick nodded. “That’s the only way. Thanks, Matthias. I’ll give you a bonus at the end of the year. Please take care of snazzynovel.com business. Let me know when snazzynovel.com gets better. I don’t have time to visit snazzynovel.com every day.”
“Thank you, Mr. Southall. I’m just doing my job. Let me talk to Mrs. Southall and see if snazzynovel.com can calm down,” Matthias offered.
Without thinking much, Henrick waved his hand. “Sure, you can stay. I need to leave now. By the way, don’t reveal snazzynovel.com condition to anyone lest it affects our company.”
Matthias nodded profusely. “Got it.”
Henrick then turned to leave with Arielle in tow. Arielle took one look at Matthias before snazzynovel.com followed Henrick out obediently.
When they both disappeared from sight, Matthias shut the door and hurried to Cindy. Taking snazzynovel.com hand, snazzynovel.com asked, “Cin, how are you?”
Though Cindy was brimming with hostility, snazzynovel.com calmed down after Arielle left.
Meeting Matthias’ gaze, snazzynovel.com demanded, “I’m not crazy. I didn’t go mad. Arielle did this to me! Trust me!”
Her eyes were bloodshot.
Matthias nodded vehemently. “Others might choose not to trust you, including Henrick himself, but I trust you. Of course I know you’re not crazy.”
Cindy felt snazzynovel.com heart soften as tears rolled down snazzynovel.com cheeks indignantly.
Matthias waited patiently until snazzynovel.com vented all snazzynovel.com frustrations. “What happened? I heard Shannie… Something happened to Shannie, and I never heard from you ever since. It took me some time to discover you were admitted to this hospital. I had to find an excuse to visit you with Henrick, as I was afraid it was a trap. Tell me, what happened?”
He could only figure out a solution once snazzynovel.com found out what was going on. Cindy bit snazzynovel.com lip grimly. She had accepted the fact that snazzynovel.com daughter was dead, though it tortured snazzynovel.com every night and broke snazzynovel.com heart. Nothing could change the fact that Shandie was dead. She hadn’t gone mad and had to accept the fact sooner or later.
She stopped biting snazzynovel.com lip, but the bite mark remained.
Grinding snazzynovel.com teeth, snazzynovel.com declared, “Arielle must’ve killed Shannie! I was too upset over snazzynovel.com death and acted recklessly. Back in my room, I suddenly hallucinated and thought Arielle was Shannie. I even told snazzynovel.com how I killed Maureen.”
She grabbed Matthias’ arm in fear. “Arielle must’ve returned to take snazzynovel.com revenge! She must’ve come to avenge snazzynovel.com mother! Matthias, what should I do?”
Cindy had never been this flustered. She did not know she’d leave the monastery to get locked up in a psychiatric hospital.
Matthias caught the keywords and inquired, “You said you started hallucinating?”
Cindy nodded. “I’m not sure whether Arielle did that to me, or if I was too devastated by the news.”
