Chapter 691
Everleigh looked at Melissa, who was sitting on the ground crying. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Aunt Melissa, I'm sorry for your loss."
Hearing Everleigh's voice, Melissa turned her head and stared at her fiercely. She pointed at her with trembling fingers. "It's you. You killed my daughter! Give my daughter back to me!" Then, she rushed over and strangled Everleigh's neck.
Everleigh did not expect Melissa to react like this. All she could do was push her away. When Erine saw this, she quickly stopped Melissa.
"Let go! Everleigh has nothing to do with this matter." She pushed Melissa away with all her strength.
She shielded Everleigh behind her. There were red marks on Everleigh's neck and she was gasping for air.
Alexander was dissatisfied with this. He said coldly, "Aunt Melissa, everyone's sad for what had happened to Cynthia. Why are you trying to make things worse for others?"
"I'm making things worse? If it wasn't for her, would Cynthia have gotten into an accident all of a sudden?" Melissa continued to argue in a self-righteous manner.
Erine was furious when she heard this. She shouted at Fenna loudly, "Who are you to judge? Cynthia came here with a knife trying to kill Everleigh. If not for the fact that someone saved her, Everleigh would have been the one lying here. It's because of parents like you that you have such an arrogant and defiant daughter!"
Erine's words stunned all the people present.
Yeezoo and Melissa's eyes were wide open. No one knew what they were thinking.
Alexander was shocked as well. He had never dreamt that Cynthia would come to kill Everleigh. How was that possible?
Everleigh sat on the ground and looked at them blankly. She said in a low and determined tone, "I have not done anything wrong, so don't blame it on me. The only thing I can say about Cynthia is that she got what she deserved."
Yes, she was shocked by Cynthia's death, but she did not owe anyone anything, including Cynthia. This was all her cousin's own doing.
From the start, she was the one scheming against Everleigh. Now that it had turned out like this, there was no one to blame but Cynthia herself.
When Alexander looked at Everleigh's cold face, he felt relieved.
Initially, he thought that she would just keep quiet and take the blame for Cynthia's death.
Everleigh stood up from the ground and looked down at Yeezoo and Melissa. The sympathy she had forthem disappeared.
She walked away.
Erine followed behind her and left.
Only Yeezoo, Melissa, and Alexander were left in the corridor.
The sound of Melissa sobbing could still be heard.
Everleigh went straight to look for Revainge. He had saved her, so she had to take a look at him.
At the door of the operating room, she asked Christopher to come over and have a look. She was a little worried.
Revainge's hand had already been bandaged. He was sitting on the chair while receiving an IV drip. He would have to stay for observation. Christopher sat at the side while looking at him.
"Mr. Folks."
"Dr. Trevino."
"Thank you for your help," Everleigh said sincerely. However, she still did not like him in her heart.
Every time she looked at him, she had a weird feeling in her heart.
Looking at her face, Revainge sneered and said, "I just came here for my follow up, but I could not find a doctor. Dr. Trevino, I had no idea that you had that many enemies. Someone even tried to kill you in broad daylight.
She did not refute because it was fact.
However, Christopher was a little unhappy. "Sir, for someone who doesn't know what's going on, I think it's better not to comment. She's here to thank you, not to be satirized by you."
Revainge snorted and did not say anything else.
Everleigh frowned. "Anyway, I'm very grateful to you. I'll thank you some other day."
She had no intention of saying anything else.
He stared at her coldly and a complicated emotion welled up in his eyes.
Everleigh was not in the mood to care about them. After Cynthia's death, she had a lot of things to deal with.
When Saniogo and Missha heard the news, they could not believe it. When they arrived at the hospital, they saw Cynthia's body. Only then did they believe that it was true.
Missha walked over and looked at her niece with tears in her eyes. She still could not accept the reality.
"Cynthia," Missha called her name softly. Her voice echoed in the quiet morgue.
Everleigh and Alexander were also standing not far away. Looking at this, their hearts were filled with sorrow.
Alexander had sent Yeezoo and Melissa home. The couple was devastated and looked like they had aged a lot in an instant.
Alexander handled Cynthia's funeral on his own. On the day of the funeral, everyone was present, including the Meyer family. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Theodore stood beside Everleigh and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Everleigh..."
"Theodore, a life can end in the blink of an eye. I never thought it would be someone who tried to kill me. It's like I'm in a dream," Everleigh said in a hoarse voice.
He already heard what had happened to her that day. He did not have an ounce of sympathy for Cynthia. She reaped what she had sown and ended up killing herself.
She had no one else to blame.
Yeezoo and Melissa sat on the other side. They were not in the mood to pay attention to anyone who was present. They were filled with sadness.
Cecil walked to Everleigh's side and said softly, "Don't be sad."
"I'm not sad. Why should I be sad? They should be the ones who are really sad." Everleigh felt uncomfortable, but not sad.
Cecil raised her eyebrows. She did not believe her words. Everleigh cared about lives the most. Even when ordinary people died in front of her, she would feel sad for a long time.
However, since Everleigh said so, she would trust her.
Most of the guests had left. Only the Jenkins family members were left.
Alexander and Missha supported Yeezoo and Melissa, and were ready to go home. The following day was the day of the burial.
When Melissa looked at Everleigh, the sorrow in her eyes disappeared. Instead, they were filled with hatred.
"Why? Why didn't you die, you b*tch. You should have died with your parents in that plane crash," Melissa said in a harsh voice.
Everleigh's whole body trembled. "What did you just say?"
"Stop pretending. You know very well what I'm saying. Let me tell you, you're the person who should die the most. If it wasn't for you guys, the
Jenkins family would've had a peaceful life," Melissa said loudly.
Everleigh looked at her coldly. Before she could say anything, Theodore interrupted her, "I'll return these words to you. If you're all dead, the Jenkins family will be even more peaceful."
Listening to his words, Everleigh did not know what to say.
Alexander frowned and looked at Yeezoo.
"Shut up. You have no right to say anything." Melissa could not hold back her anger as she spoke.
"Why not? Everleigh is my wife. No one has dared to curse my wife like this," Theodore replied coldly. He knew that his words had made them all unhappy, but he would not let anyone insult his wife.
"Did I say something wrong? She should have died with Welment. Then, such a thing wouldn't have happened."
