Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 874 Murderer
âMs. Tanner, are you alright?â Emmanuel was taken aback by Xylieâs unusual behavior.
She appears to be perfectly fine. Why is she acting so strangely?
âI-Iâm fine!â Noticing that she had lost control of her emotions, she quickly wiped away her tears.
She forced a smile. âMr. Lowe, thank you once again for helping me. No one has ever been so kind to me.â
Realizing that she cried because she was touched, Emmanuel finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Xylieâs words startled him again. âIf I have a second life, I am willing to serve you for a lifetime! Itâs impossible for this lifetime. Please forgive me.â
Pfft!
Emmanuel, who had just relaxed, couldnât help but burst out laughing.
âMs. Tanner, are you sick?â he asked instinctively.
Putting his medical knowledge to use, he observed Xylieâs complexion. It didnât seem like she had a terminal illness. It could be slight malnutrition at most.
She shook her head before nodding profusely. âYes, Iâm beyond saving! No one can save me.â
He was really confused by her words. âI know medicine, so why donât you let me check on you?â
âNo, thanks! As I said, no one can save me.â She refused his kind offer and started eating voraciously.
He silently watched her.
He could tell that the woman in front of him was gentle and pure. Yet, she couldnât care less about her image at all. It was as if this meal was her last!
âMs. Tanner, take your time. Thereâs no need to rush.â Emmanuel couldnât help but slow her down.
Xylie burst into tears again.
âNow, now. You donât need to hold them back. Just let your emotions out.â He casually gave a tip to the violinist and asked them to leave the scene.
He knew that something was plaguing her. She might feel better after saying it aloud.
âMs. Tanner, if you have something on your mind, you can tell me if you want to. You can consider me a friend.â
Emmanuel felt that they had some kind of connection. They had met three times despite being complete strangers.
Xylie also felt the same way. Emmanuel had saved her three times today!
That was why she felt closer to him than others.
After thinking for a moment, she lowered her head. Tears were still pooling in her eyes. âMr. Lowe, donât be surprised by what Iâm about to tell you. I am a bad woman. I-I am actually a murderer.â
Oh
Heâsilently watched her.
He could tell that the woman in front of him was gentle and pure. Yet, she couldnât care less about her image at all. It was as if this meal was her last!

Oh my! How could Emmanuel not be surprised? He was shocked.
It wasnât that he was afraid of murderers. He couldnât believe that Xylie, such a delicate beauty, would be a
killer.
âWho did you kill?â he asked inquisitively.
âI-I killed my foster father.â Xylie didnât hide the truth.
She closed her eyes and breathed, âI took out all my savings tonight just to have my last meal here.
âI canât accept it. Why do I have to be mocked even for my last meal after living in poverty all my life? If it werenât for meeting you, Mr. Lowe, I might have been kicked out tonight. And wouldnât even get to enjoy my last delicious meal!â
So, thatâs the reason! Emmanuel nodded, finally understanding why she was having dinner here.
Indeed, there was always a reasonable explanation behind illogical things.
âBut why did you kill your foster father?â He was curious.
ââ¦â She found it difficult to speak up. After looking at him briefly, she lightly bit her lip and said, âHe was drunk that night and pinned me down. My foster mother saw it and fought with him. He beat her to a pulp, so L.. I
