Chapter 522

After breakfast, Heidi called me and said that she would be here soon.

I went to my room, changed my clothes, and went out o f the villa to wait for her.

When she arrived, I hopped in the car.

"Your dark circles are really heavy, Miss Wanda.” Heidi stared at me. "Why don't you rest at home

today and we'll go tomorrow?”

I shook my head. "I still have a lot of things to handle i n Whaldorf City. I'm short of time.”

Heidi did not say anything else.

The car drove all the way to the suburbs. I asked curiously, "Where are you taking me?"

Heidi pursed her lips for a very long time before saying, "You'll know when we get there.”

I disliked the unknown, and the discomfort in my body was making me even more irritable. Hence, I

rolled down the window to get some fresh air.

In the end, the car came to a stop in front of a cemetery.

After Heidi got out of the car, she took out two bouquets of flowers from the trunk and handed one

of

them to me. "Let's go in."

My mind was blank by now. I could already guess what was going on but was too afraid to admit it.

Upon entering the cemetery, I asked in a quivering voice, "Who are you paying your respects to?"

Heidi made no reply.

Tears welled up in my eyes. "Tell me who you’re paying your respects to, Heidi."

Heidi stopped in her tracks and turned to face a tombstone. "I’m really sorry, Cecilia. I brought Miss

Wanda with me."

Cecilia?

I stiffly turned to face the tombstone and felt my head explode when I saw the photo and name on

the tombstone.

"No way." My legs gave away. "No way."

I looked at Heidi and screamed furiously, "This is not true, right, Heidi?"

Heidi lowered her head. "Do you think this is fake, Miss Wanda?" 1

I looked at the photo on the tombstone again. No longer able to stand still, I knelt on the ground.

On the bottom right corner of the tombstone was the time of burial, August 18th.

On August 18th, my child had just died and I sank into a state of extreme depression. I did not

contact Cecilia, nor did she contact me.

I should have figured it out at the time. How could Cecilia not have contacted me?

I could not accept this cruel fact and looked up at Heidi. "Cecilia is definitely still alive. Tell me

honestly, you didn’t do this on purpose, did you?”

Heidi let out a long sigh. "I only learned about Cecilia's death after following Jerome and Xander

here two days ago. I did some research and found that she died during childbirth. She was brought

to Whaldorf City b y Petra's men the day you got into trouble. She fainted on the streets, and after

Xander carried her away, he gave you a call. That was why you left home and gave Petra's hitmen

the chance to take you away."

After a pause, she continued, "She blamed herself after learning about your miscarriage and was

constantly feeling down in the dumps. She didn’t watch where she was going and accidentally fell,

resulting in premature delivery. She passed away due t o hemorrhage.”

After hearing what she said, I bent down and placed m y forehead on the ground. My heart felt as

though it was being clenched by a broad hand, and a stifling sensation engulfed me.

How could a living person not stay in touch for so long?

I had a premonition a long time ago but refused to think about the worst-case scenario. With a dash

of hope, I consoled myself over and over again that she needed to recuperate after her delivery or

that she was mad at me, which was why she did not stay in touch. None of it mattered as long as

this possibility was out of the picture. 1

Heidi tried to pick me up but I pushed her hands away. "Let me be."
