Chapter 1531 Sorry For Your Loss
Dylan stayed in the hospital until the sun went down. It was only then that Vinson managed to convince him to head home.
Arielle’s identity had not been announced to the public, so it was inappropriate for the king to stay by her side for too long.
Initially, Dylan wanted to announce Arielle’s identity to the public since she was dead, but Vinson stopped him from doing so. They had not found the culprit behind Arielle’s murder, so even if Dylan wanted to reveal Arielle’s identity, he should wait until everything was settled.
Dylan found his words logical, so he patted Vinson’s shoulders and told him that he would definitely find the mastermind to avenge Arielle.
Hearing his words, Vinson remained silent. He barely has any power, so who knows when he’ll be able to find the culprit?
After Dylan declared that he was heading home, Matthew and the group of high-ranking officials escorted him back. Once the others were gone, Vinson became the only one left staying by Arielle’s side.
Vinson rubbed the bridge of his nose as he stared at Arielle’s body for a while. Then, he took out his phone and sent Harvey a text message. Forty minutes later, a black van stopped at the back entrance of the military hospital. After observing his surroundings, a man brought out the stretcher covered by a piece of white sheet and brought it into the van. Then, the van disappeared into the night.
The next day, Dylan came to the hospital again. Matthew and the others tried to tag along, but Dylan sent them away. Since the king was there to visit his daughter, he could not openly show his emotions if those men were to come with him.
‘‘How are we going to go about Sannie’s funeral?’‘ Dylan asked Vinson after chasing his subordinates away.
Although he was Arielle’s father, Vinson was her husband, so the latter would be the one to deal with everything after her death.
Staring at the body on the bed, Vinson suggested, ‘‘Let’s wait another two days before cremating her. We’ll be scattering her ashes into the sea.’‘ A pause later, he continued, ‘‘We’ll skip the ceremonies.’‘
Dylan widened his eyes when he heard that Vinson was going to scatter her ashes into the sea.
How can he do that? She’s my daughter, and more importantly, she’s the Princess. How can he scatter her ashes into the sea? No, I have to find a good place to keep her ashes.
‘‘We can’t scatter her ashes into the sea,’‘ Dylan grimly said to Vinson. ‘‘I’ll find a good place to bury it.’‘
Vinson froze upon hearing that.
He then parted his lips to say something, but a thought crossed his mind, and he closed his mouth.
Forget it. I’ll do as he says for now.
Besides Dylan, Sonia and Bella came over as well. Both were dressed in appropriate black clothes. The nurse then led the two women to Arielle’s ward.
The moment Bella’s eyes landed on the white sheet, they reddened. She then spun around to wipe her tears away. Aware that Vinson was Arielle’s husband, Bella walked over to him and said, ‘‘I’m sorry for your loss.’‘
Vinson took a glance at her as she was the only one aside from the doctor to say those words to him. After all, to the others, he was only Arielle’s bodyguard.
However, the moment she said that, he understood that the young woman in front of him knew who he was. He nodded and replied, ‘‘Thank you.’‘
The two of them had specially taken time out to see Arielle, and they would need to head to class later, so they did not stay for long.
Vinson remained in the ward for the entire day. Once the sun set, he stepped out of the ward. Not long after he left, the lights in the building went out. A figure then took the opportunity to slip into Arielle’s ward.
In the dark, a smile grew on Vinson’s lips. Finally, they’re here.
