Chapter 200
You Hit My Heart
Mufron.
The driver was driving the luxury business car.
Casey looked at Luther in the back seat, and Luther's face was full of
shock, pain, depression, and disbelief. Casey did not hear exactly what
was said on the phone, but looking at Luther's face alone, he also knew
that something big must have happened. He did not dare to ask.
In the car, everyone felt like the air was getting thinner and thinner.
Gradually, they felt it hard to breathe.
Dead air. They had never seen Luther with such a terrible expression.
Casey did not even dare to breathe.
Luther looked at the dark phone screen and didn't say a word.
Karl hung up the phone, but he could never get back to himself from
the call.
His brain already went blank.
Did Grandma pass away? When he left, he had been told the new
targeting drugs had worked, and Grandma's health improved. Her
chest water subsided, her pain subsided, and Jamie said she could live
for a long time. Today he was suddenly told that his closest relative
passed away.
No matter how he tried, he just could not find a way to contact Joyce,
and as it turned out, she was taken away by the police and put into the
detention center.
Joyce was at the scene of the crime and was even listed as a suspect.
How was it possible, how was it all going on?
The worst thing was, neither of Jacqueline and Shelly had ever
informed him!
âLuther, what's wrong?" Casey finally couldn't help but ask with concern
when he saw Luther's livid face clouded with gloom.
Luther took a deep breath and sorrow dripped from his voice,
"Grandma passed away."
"Ah!" Casey immediately shut up. God, he didn't expect such a big
thing to happen to the Warner family. They came to Mufron for business
at such a time, and he was insistent that his boss meets with Professor
Williams.
The business car sped along. They were actually quite far away from
the private airport, and it would take another half hour for them to get
there.
Casey privately urged the driver, "Hurry up, it's an emergency.â
The driver understood what he meant, step on the gas, and
accelerated.
At that moment, Luther's cell phone rang again.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was Jacqueline calling. He
picked up the phone with a blank face.
Jacqueline and Shelly just got back from the detention center back to
the Warner residence, and Jacqueline rushed to call Luther. It had been
nighttime in Mufron and she was afraid that she could not contact
Luther if she did not do it now.
After the call was answered, Jacqueline deliberately squeezed her
thigh with great force, and she was almost sobbing, âLuther, there's
some sad news for you. Your grandmother, passed away yesterday,
oooh ..."
She was on the phone as if choking up.
âI know you grew up closest to your grandmother. You must not be too
sad and you will have to take care of yourself."
Luther interrupted and asked, "Why didn't you call me yesterday then?"
Jacqueline was stunned. From Luther's tone, it sounded like he already
knew? No, who could have told him?
"Yesterday, yesterday, we were all terrified ... then we didn't even have
the time for that. We just got too many things to deal with, just, just ...
so we did not tell you." Jacqueline stammered.
"Yes?" On the phone, Luther's voice was almost emotionless.
âLuther, I did not dare to tell you. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to
take the shock. I have been thinking about a better way to tell you the
news. Listen to me, don't get excited. Your grandmother died yesterday
afternoon around four o'clock, the police said. It was asphyxiation, and
think it could be a homicide. Joyce was at the crime scene at the time.
At that time we rushed back to the house, Joyce still had a gun in her
hand, she held the gun at us, your grandmother was lying on the
ground, not breathing.â Jacqueline began to add fuel to the fire, "Later
the police came in. They got Joyce and seized her gun. Hey, I was
really scared to death."
