Chapter 194 A Different Cause of Death
The news stumped Nicole. Lydia went to her mother’s ward five years ago?!
No way would she believe that woman went with good intentions. Could it be…
A possibility flashed across her mind, and at that, her gaze dimmed as her fists clenched on her lap.
Seeing her grim expression, Betty continued, “Nicole, I only saw her walking out. It can’t prove anything, but I’m sure she was up to no good. I’m just worried that…”
Nicole turned her head to Betty, who wore a hesitant look. At that, she tucked away her ire and smiled a little. “I know what you’re trying to say, Ms. Betty. Don’t bother yourself with this anymore. I’ll get to the bottom of it whenever I can.”
Betty nodded upon that, then sighed under her breath. “Madam must’ve been bewitched into marrying William, that weasel!”
Nicole also agreed that b*stard was unworthy of her mother.
The two talked about many things, from the heavy topic in the beginning to the happy moments in Nicole’s childhood. All in all, Betty still cared deeply about Nicole as she was glad to learn the girl had grown to support herself over the years.
Whitney, on the other hand, said nothing, keeping her eyes on the road until they arrived at Betty’s home.
At that, a reluctant Betty bid Nicole goodbye. “This is it, Nicole. Let’s chat some other time.”
Nicole nodded and asked, “Okay. Ms. Betty, why don’t you give me your number? I’ll call you by then.”
After doing so, Betty slowly shuffled out of the car.
A hint of sobriety crept up Nicole’s face after Betty left and she lowered her eyelids, her mind a mess.
