Chapter 486 Do You Blame Me?

"Nothing serious. I'll tell you about it later tonight." "Okay." His eyes scanned the two children in the room. Some topics should never be brought up in front of the kids.

At night, after the children were in bed, Selena went to meet up with Pierre. He had found an empty area downstairs for smoking since the pediatric ward was a smoke-free zone. She silently walked to him and asked, "So what's up?"

He threw the cigarette butt onto the floor and stomped on it. When she heard that it was a call from the police, her heart sank because she figured it must be related to the case. "The police said the case is considered closed since Helen has been sentenced to death. We can bring home Dad's body now." She felt a rush of sorrow after hearing his reply. When Pierre left, John was still sitting in the host seat, congratulated by the guests. After Pierre was gone, John suddenly passed away, and they didn't even have an intact corpse now. "Pierre, do you blame me?" She felt a tinge of guilt regarding this incident. Pierre lost his mother at an early age. He had no one on this earth except for his father-John was his only family. Occasionally, Selena would feel very sorry for him. Even though Cecilia passed away too soon and Roland was a negligent father, she at least felt comforted by Roland's existence in this world. He turned and looked at her. "Why would I blame you?" He pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry, Selena. It's all my fault."

"No, it's all my fault. I was too careless and fell into the trap. Had I realized it sooner, I would have been more prepared, and the tragedy would not have happened."

"No, it's not your fault. Please don't blame yourself."

Her self-blame added to his remorse. My woman is too kind! This tragedy is no-one's fault, but she always wants to shoulder the responsibility.

He hugged her tighter while she stayed in his arms without a word.

In the past, he always went against John. He blamed John for causing Josephine's death and for turning him into a motherless child. However, he came to realize that John cared a lot about him, and that he regretted his past actions.

That was why John treated Helen very well and stopped flirting around with other women. What he had owed to the late Josephine, he tried to make it up by being a good husband to Helen. "Selena, I only have you and the kids from now on."

His words made her cry. He only has us from now on. We're all that he has.

"Okay. Let's live a good life together."

"Okay."

They hugged each other tightly in the hospital, for they did not know when would be the next time they could do so.

Helen was sentenced to death and would be executed two months later. Meanwhile, Pierre retrieved John's body-instead of a body, it was more like a heap of remains sewn together.

Once that was done, he organized a grand funeral for John and buried him at the family cemetery of the Fowlers.

Jude and Wyatt attended the funeral too. The event was fairly streamlined, but due to the large number of attendees, it dragged on a little longer than expected.

When Jude went to the restroom, Wyatt came up to Selena and stammered, looking as if he had something to tell her.

"What's the matter? Mr. Spencer, just tell me." She sensed his hesitation, for he was never good at hiding his feelings.

"I wonder if I should tell this to Jude." He had been bothered by something for the past few days.
