My Three Darlings

Chapter 175

Eliza didn’t sleep well the enitre night. For several times, she woke up in her dream. In her dream were soaring flames and children’s cries. The fire on her body burned her skin and made her scream. “Ah-!” She woke up from her dream screaming. Beau, who was beside her, frowned slightly. The unhappiness he felt when he was woken up instinctively appeared on his face. But after a moment, his eyes softened, and he knew that Eliza must have had a nightmare. He took her into his arms, and asked in a lazy voice as he had just woken up, “What’s wrong?” His arms made her feel warm. Eliza leaned against his chest, silently closing her eyes. “It’s fine.” Probably because she paid too much attention to Chasity recently, she dreamed that she was burned by the fire. However … She began to be confused. Was Chasity the one who set the fire because of her postpartum depression, or… was it set by someone else? “Don’t worry too much.” Beau closed his eyes and held Eliza tightly in his arms. “Noah has already found out Joye’s cousin’s address last night.” “He has brought people to guard her house. When you are in a better mood, shall we go over?” Eliza turned around to look at him and a trace of emotion appeared in her heart. “Thank you…” After all, she was the one who wanted to find Chasity. If Beau wanted to find her, with his strength and power, it was impossible that he couldn’t find her after five years. However, he was willing to help her find someone that he had never looked for. Thinking of this, Eliza felt warm in her heart. “You don’t need to thank me.” Beau raised his hand and tapped her head gently. “Do you want to sleep for a while more or we leave now?” Eliza frowned and thought for a moment. “Let’s set off now.” “I’ll sleep a little longer on the way there.” She really didn’t sleep well. But the matter of finding Joye’s cousin was of equally important. Looking at her haggard face, Beau sighed. “I hope you can have a good rest after finding out about Chasity.” “I can’t.” Eliza yawned and got up from the bed to wash up. “Whether I can find Chasity’s whereabouts or not, I have to go to the mountain village for the shooting.” She sighed as she washed her face. “This is the only place I have to go for shooting for this movie. As the female lead, how can I not go?” Beau lightly furrowed his brows. While putting on his jacket, he chuckled, “You’re obviously very busy, yet you’re still meddling in someone else’s business?” “This is not someone else’s business.” Eliza laughed in a naive manner. “How can the matters of you and your children be

matters of others?” Her words made Beau’s hand, which was buttoning up his shirt, slightly pause. After a long while, he chuckled. “Yes.” Ten minutes later, the couple got into a car and headed to Joye’s cousin’s house. Joye’s cousin was called Bridget. Five years ago, after Joye’s mother went to jail, Bridget took over the psychiatric hospital. After becoming the director of the psychiatric hospital, Bridget bought a house in the villa area in the south of the city. After she got promoted from an ordinary psychiatrist to a director, she lived the luxurious life of driving a famous car and living in a villa. Eliza had reasons to suspect that the reason why Bridget was so successful was related to Chasity and her. Their hotel was far away from Bridget’s house. Sitting in the back seat of the car, Eliza was in a daze. As the car swayed, she leaned against Beau’s shoulder and fell asleep. After some time, she heard Beau answer a call in a daze. In her sleep, she did not hear what was said on the other end of the phone. However, she could hear Beau’s cold and terrifying voice as he asked, “When did it happen?” “Okay, I get it.” From his ice- cold voice, Eliza sensed that something wasn’t right. She frowned, yawned and looked up. She asked in a daze, “What’s wrong?” Beau took a deep look at her. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed. “Bridget is dead.” Eliza’s sleepiness suddenly dissipated. She opened her eyes wide. “She’s dead!?” How could it be possible?! Gloria’s investigation of Bridget was confidential. Moreover, even if it was not confidential, her relationship with Gloria was not considered good before last night. No one would relate the matter to her no matter what! How could it be… They were still on the way to look for Bridget, but she had already died? Eliza’s body began to tremble. She trembled as she looked up at Beau’s face. “How… did she die?” “Suicide.” Beau closed his eyes. “It just happened.” After saying these, he ordered the driver to turn around. “There’s no need to go there

anymore.” Eliza’s hands tightly grabbed the hem of her shirt. “What a coincidence.” “If we came directly to find her last night, we would be able to talk to her, right?” “It’s all my fault… I shouldn’t have rested…” “I shouldn’t have slept…” “It’s not your problem.” Beau took a deep breath and gently interrupted her. He took out his mobile phone and showed her the news this morning. “She committed suicide because of this.” Eliza pursed her lips and picked up the phone. The news showing on the screen was about the illegal profit-making. She saw Bridget’s name on the list of those people who made illegal profit. “She committed suicide because of this.” “The police had been searching for these people for a long time and

they managed to close the net last night. The crimes that Bridget committed were serious and she was probably afraid of being caught, so she jumped off a building early in the morning to end her own life.” Beau sighed, gently raising his hand to rub Eliza’s head. “It has nothing to do with us.” “Even if you arrived last night, she might not tell you the truth. Maybe she’s still going to die.” Eliza was too shocked to say anything. If not for this news… She would really think that Lucija and Joye were really capable that they knew she was going to look to Bridget and hence, they killed her! 2 What a coincidence! “Don’t think too much.” Beau sighed and pulled her into his embrace. “Didn’t you say you’re going to the mountain village for shooting?” “Get ready for that for the next few days. When you come back from shooting, I’ll accompany you to find her again, okay?” Eliza lay in his arms and nodded obediently. “Okay.” From the looks of it, this was the only way out. She leaned in his embrace in frustration and kept her eyes closed, but she could not fall asleep. “Honey, Bridget’s death really has nothing to do with us, right?” Beau looked up at the scenery outside the window, and his eyes were deep. “Yes.”

The Valentine family’s old house. Lucija listened to the voice on the other side of the phone in shock. “Bridget jumped off the building?” “Why did it happen so sudden?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“I…”

Before she could finish her words, someone knocked on the door. She quickly hung up the call and opened the door. Elias stood outside the door.

He walked in with a sullen face and kicked the door. “Elias…” Lucija bit her lips in confusion. “Why are you so angry early in the morning?” “What’s going on?” “What’s going on?” Elias coldly glared at Lucija. “If I hadn’t arranged someone to be Beau’s bodyguard, do you know what would have happened today?” 3 “Who gave you the courage to provoke Eliza?”
