First Loves Return Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573 

Menu 

“Blood…” Fiona stuttered, her lips trembling incessantly.“So much blood… Suicide… Jumping off the building…” 

Did someone jump off the building to commit suicide? 

Marie was surprised. 

“Fiona!” Just then, Darryl rushed into the ward and lifted the frightened Fiona. 

Darryl’s face was full of worry as he held Fiona. He softened his voice to gently comfort her,“Fiona, don’t be afraid. I’m here. Don’t be afraid…” 

Fiona trembled in fear all over, tightly gripping Darryl’s collar with both hands. Her pale face was 

tear–strewn, 

Marie felt a wave of guilt, wishing she had known earlier and prevented Fiona from going out. 

Judging by her appearance, she must have witnessed the tragic scene of someone jumping off the building. 

How much psychological trauma would that leave? 

Darryl comforted Fiona for a while before turning his head to look at Mariela. 

To Marie’s surprise, Darryl’s complexion was no better than Fiona’s. 

Darryl looked at Marie, took a deep breath, and slowly said, “Royce jumped off the building and committed suicide… Madam Stark had a heart attack and died suddenly due to the shock…” 

Maric’s eyes 

widened in shock. 

When Lennon just returned to the Stark family, he learned the news of Royce’s suicide. 

Almost immediately after he refused Royce’s request, he committed suicide. 

He just jumped off the building. 

Bella and Royce were in the same hospital. 

The news couldn’t be kept under wraps. Bella couldn’t handle the shock, and the stress and grief triggered a heart attack right then and there. She was gone before they could even try to save her. 

All of this happened too suddenly. 

But it was also expected. 

After hanging up the phone, Lennon stood silently in the courtyard of the villa for a long time. 

Within one day, two members of the Stark family passed away successively, causing sighs of 

sorrow.

Lennon quickly blocked the news of Royce’s suicide. 

Menu 

When Royce jumped off the building, he was skinny and lost almost all of his hair, which was a far cry from his usual appearance. Even the very few people who knew Royce did not recognize that it was him. 

As for the news of Bella’s sudden death from a heart attack, the Stark family did not make it public. 

This was what Robert meant. 

If the sudden death of Bella was announced just after Royce jumped off the building, it would inevitably raise suspicions. 

When Robert learned about the news of his son and wife’s passing, he was still in Europe and couldn’t come back immediately. 

After Robert finished talking to Lennon on the phone, he was distraught and sat on the sofa all night without closing his eyes. 

As for Lennon, according to Robert’s intention, he would hold the funeral for Bella and Royce after Robert returned to America. The bodies were temporarily stored in the hospital’s morgue. 

Late at night, everything was silent. 

Marie lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. 

What had happened today was truly shocking. 

Marie knew that Bella couldn’t handle any stimulation. She was in her eighties and already in poor health, so it was not surprising that she had a sudden heart attack and died. 

But why did Royce suddenly jump off the building? 

Was it related to Nikolas? 

These days, Deandre did not allow Lennon to see her, and her friends who came to visit her did not mention Lennon or anything related to the Stark family in front of her. 

Therefore, Marie was unaware of Royce’s poisoning. 

Lennon had been busy assisting the police in investigating the poisoning case and organizing evidence of Nikolas‘ other crimes. It had been a long time since he last contacted Marie. 

Marie tossed and turned in bed, hesitated for a long time, and finally took out her phone to send a message to Lennon. 

“I’m so sorry 

for your pain. Let life carry you through this.” 

A long time passed, and there was no reply. 

She didn’t know whether he was sleeping or busy dealing with the Stark family’s matters. 

Marie sighed and was heavy–hearted.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, she knew deep down that she had not completely let go of 

Lennon. 

With the tragedy befalling the Stark family, she was very worried about Lennon 

She thought he must have been very sad. 

When dawn was approaching, Marie began to feel a little sleepy. 

As she was about to fall asleep, the phone screen lit up for a moment. 

Lennon replied to the message. 

“I’m good. Go get some sleep.” 

Marie looked at this message, and the worry in her heart did not diminish. 

How could he be okay? 

One was his father, and the other was his grandmother. 

She wanted to say something to comfort him. 

She rubbed her eyes, forcing herself to keep a clear head. 

She typed. 

Then she deleted the words. 

She typed again. 

And then, she deleted them word by word again. 

In the end, Marie didn’t say anything. 

It was pointless to say anything. 

The overwhelming drowsiness made Marie unable to keep her eyes open. 

She fell asleep holding her phone. 

She had a dream. 

In the dream, a boy looked at his father holding another boy, with sadness and envy in his eyes. She walked over and found that the boy’s eyes were the same as Lennon’s. 

“Lenny…” murmured Marie. 

The boy lowered his head, his face full of disappointment, and whispered, “But I am also his 

son…” 

Marie’s heart ached intensely. 

She reached out and touched the boy’s head, gently saying to him, “It’s okay. You will meet someone who loves you very much. That person will be your redemption.” 

The boy looked up at her and asked, “Is that person you?”
