Chapter 376
Even After Death
Marina was quickly transported into a truck.
There was professional medical equipment in the truck, and doctors as well. It was like an
ambulance.
As soon as she got into the truck, someone began treating her. An oxygen mask was placed on her
nose, and she took in large gulps of air.
She wasnât quite conscious, and her eyes couldnât focus. She could only see a few people tending to
her wounds.
She had lost a lot of blood, so she knew that she would die for sure.
Many memories surfaced in Marinaâs mind. Her last memories were of Chloe looking weak and
powerless, and that day when she pushed Olivia off the ship.
She felt like she saw the snow dancing in the air again, and the cold sea breeze blew the snowflakes
right at her.
The sea was very cold that night. Olivia lost her child because of that.
This was probably Marinaâs punishment for hurting others.
But Marina didnât understand why she would do this.
The truck stopped moving at an unknown location. Then, the people moved Marinaâs body out of the
truck.
Marina still hadnât fainted throughout the ordeal. She knew that she would see that person again. She
just wanted to ask that woman why she had to be treated this way.
Roses filled Marinaâs vision. The woman was wearing a black cocktail dress. Her bare legs were
crossed.
Her skin was fair, and her figure was slender and charming.
She had exquisite makeup on her face. She lazily gazed at Marina.
Marina was wearing the oxygen mask, and her lips trembled. Her breaths turned into white fog that
spread across the mask, and her voice was so small that no one could hear her.
Standing up, the woman glided toward her. She didnât look the least bit compassionate when she saw
the bloodied Marina.
Marina reached out, trying to grab the womanâs wrist. But her hand was too weak.
The woman curved her lips into a charming smile. âLet me guess. You want to know if I had
arranged the traffic accident, right?â
Her nails were painted with red polish. Her fingers touched Marinaâs face. âYes, it was me. Iâve already
reminded you, but youâre the one who disobeyed. Disobedient children should be punished.â
Marinaâs eyes widened. She could hardly believe the truth, for it had completely overturned her
understanding.
Beside her, the man told her about the examination results. She had compound fractures on her body,
and the glass on her chest was the most dangerous injury.
They had to get the glass out with an operation as soon as possible.
The woman waved her hand. âTake it out, then. No need for anesthetics. She should watch it with her
own eyes.â
Marina raised her hand to express her dissatisfaction. The woman sneered. âAre you curious why I
would treat you like this? Thatâs becauseâ¦â
The woman leaned in and whispered in Marinaâs ear.
Marinaâs expression shifted. She reached out to take off her oxygen mask, and her fingers touched the
glass in her chest. She looked like she wanted to pull it out to kill both the woman and herself.
But she had no energy, so she couldnât do anything. The woman looked quite pleased. âEnjoy what it
feels like to wish you were dead!â
Marina was taken away. The woman even told them, âYou donât have to be too nice to her. Just make
sure sheâs still alive.â
âUnderstood.â
The woman casually picked a random rose that was blooming vibrantly. Holding it to her nose, she took
in its scent. âWhat a wonderful day.â
young woman walked out of the shadows. She was wearing a white dress, and she had long lowing
hair.
ler face was pretty and exquisite. Her eyes were identical to Ethanâs.
he walked out from among the roses. She was so beautiful that she looked like she had walked ut of a
painting.
topping before the woman, she said in a respectful tone, âMadam, we just received the news. he head
of the Carltons, Chris Carlton, wants to see you.â
Chris, huhâ¦â
The woman smiled. âSure. Arrange a time for me.â
The young lady was a little stunned. She didnât expect the woman to agree so readily
The woman seemed to be in a good mood, She let go of the rose. The petals flew in the air as she
stepped mercilessly on it.
âUnderstood.â
The woman patted her on the shoulder.
âRemember this, Leia. Once you walk down this path, you wonât have the chance to turn back
anymore. Even your brother will be no more than a stranger to the likes of us.â
The young lady lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes hiding the shadow in her eyes. Like a puppet
void of expression, she said, âI understand.â
