Chapter 573 Menu âBlood...â Fiona stuttered, her lips trembling incessantly.âSo much blood... Suicide... Jumping off the building...â
Did someone jump off the building to commit suicide?
Marie was surprised.
âFiona!â Just then, Darryl rushed into the ward and lifted the frightened Fiona.
Darrylâs face was full of worry as he held Fiona. He softened his voice to gently comfort her,âFiona, donât be afraid. Iâm here.
Donât be afraid...â
Fiona trembled in fear all over, tightly gripping Darrylâs collar with both hands. Her pale face was tearâstrewn, Marie felt a wave of guilt, wishing she had known earlier and prevented Fiona from going out.
Judging by her appearance, she must have witnessed the tragic scene of someone jumping off the building.
How much psychological trauma would that leave?
Darryl comforted Fiona for a while before turning his head to look at Mariela.
To Marieâs surprise, Darrylâs complexion was no better than Fionaâs.
Darryl looked at Marie, took a deep breath, and slowly said, âRoyce jumped off the building and committed suicide... Madam Stark had a heart attack and died suddenly due to the shock...â
Maricâs eyes widened in shock.
When Lennon just returned to the Stark family, he learned the news of Royceâs suicide.
Almost immediately after he refused Royceâs request, he committed suicide.
He just jumped off the building.
Bella and Royce were in the same hospital.
The news couldnât be kept under wraps. Bella couldnât handle the shock, and the stress and grief triggered a heart attack right then and there. She was gone before they could even try to save her.
All of this happened too suddenly.
But it was also expected.
After hanging up the phone, Lennon stood silently in the courtyard of the villa for a long time.
Within one day, two members of the Stark family passed away successively, causing sighs of sorrow.

< Chapter 573 Lennon quickly blocked the news of Royceâs suicide.
Menu When Royce jumped off the building, he was skinny and lost almost all of his hair, which was a far cry from his usual appearance. Even the very few people who knew Royce did not recognize that it was him.
As for the news of Bellaâs sudden death from a heart attack, the Stark family did not make it public.
This was what Robert meant.
If the sudden death of Bella was announced just after Royce jumped off the building, it would inevitably raise suspicions.
When Robert learned about the news of his son and wifeâs passing, he was still in Europe and couldnât come back immediately.
After Robert finished talking to Lennon on the phone, he was distraught and sat on the sofa all night without closing his eyes.
As for Lennon, according to Robertâs intention, he would hold the funeral for Bella and Royce after Robert returned to America.
The bodies were temporarily stored in the hospitalâs morgue.
Late at night, everything was silent.
Marie lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
What had happened today was truly shocking.
Marie knew that Bella couldnât handle any stimulation. She was in her eighties and already in poor health, so it was not surprising that she had a sudden heart attack and died.
But why did Royce suddenly jump off the building?
Was it related to Nikolas?
These days, Deandre did not allow Lennon to see her, and her friends who came to visit her did not mention Lennon or anything related to the Stark family in front of her.
Therefore, Marie was unaware of Royceâs poisoning.
Lennon had been busy assisting the police in investigating the poisoning case and organizing evidence of Nikolasâ other crimes.
It had been a long time since he last contacted Marie.
Marie tossed and turned in bed, hesitated for a long time, and finally took out her phone to send a message to Lennon.
âIâm so sorry for your pain. Let life carry you through this.â
A long time passed, and there was no reply.
She didnât know whether he was sleeping or busy dealing with the Stark familyâs matters.
Marie sighed and was heavyâhearted.

< Chapter 575 Although she was unwilling to admit it, she knew deep down that she had not completely let go of Lennon.
With the tragedy befalling the Stark family, she was very worried about Lennon She thought he must have been very sad.
When dawn was approaching, Marie began to feel a little sleepy.
As she was about to fall asleep, the phone screen lit up for a moment.
Lennon replied to the message.
âIâm good. Go get some sleep.â
Marie looked at this message, and the worry in her heart did not diminish.
How could he be okay?
One was his father, and the other was his grandmother.
She wanted to say something to comfort him.
She rubbed her eyes, forcing herself to keep a clear head.
She typed.
Then she deleted the words.
She typed again.
And then, she deleted them word by word again.
In the end, Marie didnât say anything.
It was pointless to say anything.
The overwhelming drowsiness made Marie unable to keep her eyes open.
She fell asleep holding her phone.
She had a dream.
In the dream, a boy looked at his father holding another boy, with sadness and envy in his eyes. She walked over and found that the boyâs eyes were the same as Lennonâs.
âLenny...â murmured Marie.
The boy lowered his head, his face full of disappointment, and whispered, âBut I am also his son...â
Marieâs heart ached intensely.
She reached out and touched the boyâs head, gently saying to him, âItâs okay. You will meet someone who loves you very much.
That person will be your redemption.â
The boy looked up at her and asked, âIs that person you?â

âHe died.â Marie heard him speak softly.
Then, he continued, âThere will never be another chance in this lifetimeâ
Marie knew that he would never have the chance to feel Royceâs fatherly love again in this lifetime.
She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she couldnât say anything Lennon stood quietly in the pouring rain, like a cold statue.
âLenny...,â Marie murmured as she woke up.
The feeling of heartache was clear.
The sunlight shone through the cracks between the curtains, and a new day began ***
On the third day after Royce jumped off the building, Marie saw Lennon.
It was a rainy night.
Lightning flashed and thunder crashed as the storm raged on.
The trees thrashed in the dark, their shadows twisting into screaming monsters.
Marie got up and walked to the window in her slippers, wanting to pull up the curtains.
Suddenly, she saw a person standing in the pouring rain downstairs.
She couldnât be more familiar with that person.
It was Lennon.
The scene was the same as in the dream.
Marieâs hand paused.
She stood there, silently watching the man in the rain.
In the end, she sighed and turned around, pushing open the door of the ward and walking downstairs...
