Chapter 603 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
Jamesâ death shocked everyone. They couldnât believe that the man who had been so full of life last night was now dead.
âNâno! It canât be! How could my brother be dead?â Dahlia shook her head repeatedly, her face full of disbelief. âPlease try and save my brother again! Iâm willing to pay any price!â
âIâm sorry, but thereâs nothing we can do. Our deepest condolences.â The doctor shook his head. âBut how could this be?â Tears streamed down Dahliaâs face, and she staggered backward. She couldnât believe that her brother had died just like that.
âOh, James! My son!â Florence wailed in anguish as Jamesâ body was wheeled out. She burst into tears at the sight of the lifeless body. She couldnât believe that her only son, whom she babied endlessly, had died so suddenly. What a tragic outcome!
âDoctor, my nephew was fine yesterday, so why did he die? Did you guys make a mistake during surgery?â Victoria questioned.
The patient suffered a severe head injury that resulted in intracranial bleeding. Weâve done everything we could.â The surgeon quickly explained.
Hearing this, Florence sprung up and swore. âItâs Dustin! That fucker did this! He killed my son!â
âYouâre right. James must have died because of Dustinâs violent assault last night. He even hit James on the head!â Julie exclaimed, a sudden realization dawning on her.
âThat goddamn bastard! How dare he kill my son! Iâll make him pay!â Florence roared.
âIâit canât be Dustin!â Dahlia was still in denial.
âDahlia Nicholson! Your brother is dead! Are you still going to defend that piece of shit?â Florence
was furious.
âThere must be a misunderstanding. There must be!â Dahlia kept shaking her head, unable to accept this shocking reality.
âDahlia, itâs true that Dustin did it. We saw the whole thing happen last night.â Julie stated
gravely.
âI was there too. This happened because Dustin assaulted James.â Victoria echoed.
âOpen your eyes and look at your brotherâs body. Look at what that bastard did to Jamesâ face!â Florence grabbed Dahlia by the collar and dragged her toward Jamesâ lifeless body. The bruises and swelling on his face that indicated his brutal assault were still clearly visible.
âWhy? Why did this happen?â Dahlia sobbed in anguish. Her brotherâs death was already a huge blow to her, but the fact that Dustin was the person who killed James hurt her far worse.
Although she wanted to deny this truth, all evidence pointed at Dustin, so she had no choice but to accept it. Now, she was at a loss for what to do.
Why had it been Dustin?
1/2
Why did he hurt her brother?
What will happen to her and Dustin?
âOh God, why are you doing this to me? Why?â Dahlia screamed in her head. She clutched her chest and felt as her heart shattered into a million pieces as she sobbed heartbreakingly.
Dahlia was eventually so overwhelmed that she collapsed, passing out on the spot.
In the afternoon, inside one of the hospitalâs wards, Florence and the others had started handling. things related to Jamesâ passing.
