Chapter 1249
“So, are you skeptical of the police investigation report?” Bruce asked.
“That’s one thing. Besides that, when the car was moving, Nicholas once said, ‘Why is it so hot in the car? Is there anything wrong with the air conditioning?’ But at that time, I actually didn’t feel so. To me, it was cool enough in the car and was even a little chilly. Even if everyone has different sensory sensitivity, it won’t vary that much.”
After a pause, Riley concluded, “I doubt that if Nicholas didn’t have physical ailments, could it be someone have tampered with his food in such a way that he would feel something different from ordinary people?”
“Do you mean Nicholas might be drugged?” Bruce narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
“These are the two things I can think of at present,” said Riley. That was what she finally realized after years of recalling the car accident over and over again in the psychiatric hospital.
Bruce suddenly snickered. “It’s been so many years. Why didn’t you bring these details up after the car crash but now? Why should I believe that you are not making things up?”
“What happened at that time messed up my mind. Besides… Nicholas died protecting me. At that time, I thought the car crash was mere accident. I didn’t even want to recall what happened during the c Riley answered.
“Then why did you recall it later?” Bruce asked sarcastically.
“During the days when I was locked up in the psychiatric hospital, I thought about many things, but most of them were the car crash. I e dreamed of the scene during the crash countless times and could eve recite every word Nicholas said to me..
At that time, it was also the doubt about the car accident that kept Riley from giving up on life.
That was because she still had to find out the truth about the car acciden and not let the truth of Nicholas’s death go unnoticed.
Bruce’s expression gradually became solemn. “Why didn’t you say it when you broke into the cemetery at night back then but insist on telling me now?”
“Because I was not a truly normal person in others’ eyes at that time, and I hadn’t received my consultation result from the hospital yet. But today, the result of the consultation has come out. I have no mental illness, so what I said is not insane babbling,” Riley answered.
At the same time, Riley knew very well that even if she was confirmed to be a normal person now, she had nothing left.
She might not be able to get those shares back smoothly. Besides, she had no financial resources and had lost all her previous connections. Even if Amelia and Rosalie were willing to help her, they were still based in Strico. The Griffin family would be the most suitable candidate to lend her a hand in Lommore.
Bruce always respected Nicholas and would do his best to find out the truth about Nicholas’s death.
Riley’s words made Bruce begin to ponder. At that moment, Rosalie, who was standing beside Riley, looked a little pale. “Excuse me. May I know where’s the restroom?”
“Oh, it’s at the end of this way,” Peach replied.
Before Rosalie could express her gratitude, she already covered her mouth and hurried to the restroom.
Calvin looked at Rosalie’s back, contemplating something. After a he also stood up and walked in the same direction.
Peach secretly heaved a sigh upon seeing that.
Peach mused, “Just as I expected! It seems that Mr. Gunner has not forgotten about Rosalie yet. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have intervened Riley’s matters at that time.”
Meanwhile, Rosalie rushed into the restroom, sprawled on top of the -sink, and kept vomiting.
Blaargh! Blaargh!
Rosalie’s vomiting voice sounded so clear in the restroom as if she wanted to regurgitate everything from her stomach.
What Rosalie did not know was while she vomited in the restroom, Calvin was worried about her.
Calvin’s face, which was initially cold, slowly filled with concern.
Calvin, the man who dominated the entertainment industry had never been so concerned about a woman, except for Rosalie.
Every move of Rosalie’s would move Calvin’s heart.
In fact, Calvin also kept telling himself that Rosalie and Jonathan lived happily now, and that was already enough for him.
The person Rosalie loved was Jonathan. Calvin knew Rosalie treated himself as a childhood friend, but his physical instinct transcended rationality.
When Calvin saw Rosalie rushing into the restroom with an uncomfortable look, he could not control himself from following her.
At that moment, Rosalie’s vomiting voice inside the restroom made Calvin restless, as Calvin feared that something might happen to Rosalie.
When Rosalie finally came out of the bathroom, Calvin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “How’re you feeling, Rosalie? Are you unwell?”
Rosalie looked at Calvin with a trace of surprise in her eyes. Then, she shook her head. “It should be Riley’s talk about the plot of the car crash just now that made me think of some bad memories in the past and caused some physical discomfort. I feel much better after throwing
Calvin’s face darkened. He thought the bad memories Rosalie refer should be the car accident conspiracy she had experienced. Althoug did not die in that car accident, she was imprisoned for three years.
Later, Calvin investigated and learned that Rosalie had been living a life in prison for the past three years. On the contrary, he had been constantly dating girlfriends with reminders of her and living an envi life.
“Sorry. I didn’t find you sooner,” Calvin murmured.
“It’s not your fault. Besides, those who created the conspiracy back then had already been punished as they deserved long ago,” Rosalie said.
However, Calvin did not feel any better but more regret upon hearing Rosalie’s words.
Calvin regretted they had missed out on each other.
“Where’s Jonathan? Why didn’t he come with you today?” Calvin changed the subject.
“He went back to Strico with the kids yesterday,” Rosalie replied.
“How can Jonathan leave you alone in Lommore?” Calvin was surprised when he heard that.
“Why can’t he?” Rosalie asked while maintaining her composure.
Calvin’s eyes flickered. He knew that Rosalie understood what he meant. It was just that Calvin never expected Jonathan to leave Lommore first and let Rosalie stay back alone. After all, Calvin was still around in Lommore.
Calvin thought, “If it were Jonathan in the past, he would never do that. Is he not afraid I will take this opportunity to get close to Rosalie and occupy her heart?”
