Chapter 865

In fact, if Anne had insisted, Anthony could not do

anything either.

After all, there were still three kids.

Anne stayed in her office but could not focus on her work.

Her mind was blank.

When she regained her senses, it was already the

afternoon.

She did not have any appetite, but she opened her office

door and left.

“Ms. Vallois, are you going for lunch?” Ken greeted her.

As though Anne did not hear it, she walked right past him.

Ken sensed that something was not right. Could it be related to Cindy's death?

Anne took a cab to the graveyard.

She kneeled before Nigel and Sarah's tombstones and cried loudly.

She suddenly could not replace the direction to live.

Not sure why, but the thought was particularly strong in

her mind.

She could not do anything well enough. She could not provide for her children, her parents weremurdered, and the murderer was walking free right in front of her, but she could not do anything...What was the purpose for her to live?

“Dad, Mom, please tell me... How should I live? I have nothing! I only have myself. If I died... I wouldnot feel the pain anymore...” Anne cried helplessly.

She cried and cried until she was completely drained and tumbled upon the tombstone.

She felt as though it was the end for her.

She could not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Back when she was a kid. She could feel a slight warmth as though she was by her parents’ side.She was still a kid.

Her peers were all coddled in their parent's laps, but her life was already so broken beyond repair."Anne? Anne, wake up, Anne..."

Anne opened her eyes and saw Lucas’ worried face in her weak vision. “Mr. Newman...”

"Why are you sleeping here?” Lucas asked her.

Anne was stunned, as though she did not know why she was there.

After a few seconds, she recalled, “I am here to see Mom

and Dad..."

“Don't sit on the ground. I will bring you back home.” Lucas helped her up, and his voice was asgentle as his

gesture.

Despite this, Anne still hissed in pain. “Ah...”

"What happened?” Lucas let loose of her arm and then rolled her sleeve up. He saw a long and deepwound on her fair skin. There were still blood stains around it.

What happened?”

Anne withdrew her arm and hid it under her sleeve again, “I tripped this morning.”

"Why didn't you get it treated at the hospital?”

Anne was silent.

“I will bring you to the hospital.” Lucas dragged her away.

At the hospital, the doctor helped her to treat the wound and wrapped it in a bandage. The doctorsaid there was not a big problem as long as she kept the wound away from water.

Lucas then held her hand and walked her out of the

hospital, almost as though he was afraid that someone bad would bring her away.

"Why did you go to the graveyard?” Anne asked.

"I called you, but you did not pick up. I went to your office, but you were not there either. So I triedmy luck here. I did not expect you to be here.” Lucas looked at her pale face worriedly. He wascertain that something major had happened to her.

However, he did not ask.

If Anne wanted to tell him, she would have.
