“I have buried her and the child for you.”
“Don’t even think about seeing them, because you are not worthy. I don’t want you to pollute the last pure land for her and her child.”
Lucas‘ eyes widened, his whole body trembled, his lips turned pale, and he stepped back.
He covered his face, crying like a madman, repeating “Eleanor“, “child“, “I’m sorry“…
After that day, he locked himself in the room and never came out.
I didn’t eat or drink for three whole days, and I felt like I was dead.
Until the evening of the fourth day.
Scarlett returned from vacation with her children.
Lucas received the text message and actually went out and asked the driver to take him to the airport.
The driver said that Lucas was neatly dressed in a suit, even with a decent smile on his face, holding flowers in his hands, and waiting at the airport exit early.
Like nothing happened.
It was like forgetting the wife whose blood was pooled in the basement.
It’s like forgetting the children who died before they were born.
Mrs. Sterling’s face suddenly changed when she heard the driver say that.
“Where did you send them?! Hurry up and take the bodyguards with you, Lucas might be crazy-!”
Mrs. Sterling and her men had just arrived at the door of the villa.
With a loud “boom“, an explosion sounded and the flames engulfed everything.
Scarlett screamed and cursed, trying frantically to escape, but the doors and windows had been locked, and there was flames all around.
She cried and rushed to the window, but Lucas dragged her back by her hair.
Mrs. Sterling was stopped by the bodyguards and cried, “Lucas, don’t be impulsive! Open the door and let them in to put out the fire!”
Amid the flames and smoke, Lucas’s face was filled with bitterness and despair.
“I’m not going out, Mom. Don’t let them rescue me.”
“I once swore that if I ever hurt Eleanor, I would be cut into pieces and go to hell. Now, I should go to hell to pay back the debt I owe to Eleanor and the child…”
In the flames, his tears fell.
He choked up and murmured, “Eleanor, if one day I redeem myself in hell, will I be able to see you and the children again?”
The next second he closed his eyes and resolutely jumped into the sea of fire.
That night, the entire villa burned to ashes.
I learned the news on the day of Lucas‘ funeral.

The sky was gloomy and the wind from the south of the city made paper money fly all over the
sky.
Mrs. Sterling was standing in front of my door in plain clothes, asking me with red eyes if I wanted to go.
I held the living child in my arms and shook my head slowly.
Mrs. Sterling was silent for a long time before she whispered, “Now that Lucas is gone, he only has you and him as his only bloodline. I want him to be the heir to Monarch Group,”
I raised my eyes and whispered, “No need.”
“His last name is Shaw, not Sterling. Mrs. Sterling, thank you for your care and love for me, but he is gone now. I have nothing to do with the Sterling family anymore. I think we should not meet again in the future.”
After saying that, I took a step back and gently closed the door.
The wind blew outside the door, the spirit flags fluttered, and the faint smell of burning paper drifted into the house.
The child in my arms babbled softly, and I kissed his cheek and shed tears.
This time, my child, he can finally grow up.
