Holding her brother's gastric toxicological analysis report in his hands, Louie had been sitting in the car
for nearly half a day.
Although she had already foreseen something like this to come as a result, something still seemed to
drill into her heart and made her in pain when she saw the test report herself.
Her condition was too risk to drive back home herself, so she had no choice but to get back home by
taxi.
Yesterday, the whole place of the Hendersons was crowded and bustling, while everything seemed to
be extraordinarily quiet here today.
With slow steps, Louie got upstairs and looked around by the staircase.
Everyone was in their own room, while no one seemed to be coming out — even food was delivered to
their rooms by servants.
Pondering, she still chose to go to the room of Ryan at the end.
The door of his room was locked on the inside. Louie knocked twice at the door, and the deep voice
of Ryan sounded from the inside, "Who's there?"
With a sigh, Louie said, "It's me, grandpa."
A while later, the old man opened the door. He looked much better than he was yesterday, which
maybe due to that he was the first one in the family who chose to face up to the reality.
Louie went inside and handed over the report to the old man.
With a confused look in his eyes, he soon figured out everything with a quick look at the file.
He heaved a sigh, "The kid took things too seriously!"
Pitifully, Louie said, "How about we keep it as a secret of our own family?"
The cause of Jakub's death was still announced to be a car accident. Louie was afraid that the whole
family might be encumbered if the truth of her brother's suicide were ever to be publicized.
The old man agreed with her and nodded, "Don't tell anyone about this. We are the only two who know
the truth. By the way, have you gone through all the procedures in the hospital?"
Louie nodded, "It's all done. The body of Jakub is still kept in the mortuary of the hospital, and they told
us that it was our choice to choose cremation or to take it away from the hospital."
With a pause of consideration, the old man said, "Let's cremate his body. The last thing we can do is to
greet our last fairwell to Jakub in the cremation ceremony. You dad and mom would go crazy if they
were to catch sight of the dead body of their son."
It was quite reasonable.
Louie hummed, "I get it. Leave it to me, and I'll handle it."
Saying so, as she was about to turn around and leave, she still looked back at the old man and
said, "Hey, grandpa, go downstairs and take some strolls if you can. It worries me to see you locking
yourself inside of the room all the time."
With a reluctant smile, the old man smiled, "Relax, I'm old enough to get over any difficulties."
Sighing, Louie left directly.
It was at the moment when the old man, who was supported by his servants, went downstairs and
strolled.
Waiting until her grandpa was gone, Louie came out of her room and stepped inside that of the old man
with quick movements.
Opening the wardrobe, she again caught sight of the safe box, and the buttons were coated by some
sort of unknown liquid by Louie.
With a flashlight shining the buttons, she went through each of the buttons in detail, and finally, she
could vaguely distinguish several key numbers of the password, even though these numbers needed to
be permuted and combined.
Prudently, she then peeped at the backyard through the window.
The old man was supported by his servants, strolling around the backyard.
Assured a little, she soon focused back on the safe box again.
She failed decoding for the first two times, and as strain grew inside of her, she carefully tried the third
time.
Unfortunately, she still failed it again, and it was the next moment that the safe box sounded strident
alarm.
Covering the safe box with clothes and closing the wardrobe, she had successfully reduced the noise,
while the alarming sound was still clear enough.
Terrified, she hastily headed to the window and checked outside.
It was lucky that the old man was currently staying too far away from here to notice the peculiarity
inside of his room.
The alarming lasted for one minute before it stopped.
Louie went up, put back the clothes and tidied up everything inside of the wardrobe. Then, she closed
the wardrobe and walked out of the room.
A servant was standing by the doorway, and asked, "What happened, my lady?"
Louie ran her fingers through her hair and answered, "Nothing, something seems to be going wrong
inside of grandpa's room. I've turned off the weird sound."
Without putting too much stress on it, the servant turned around and left.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Louie considered that the safe box would no longer be reopened again in a
period of time.
Louie fixed her hair, and then went downstairs slowly.
Instead of going out for the old man, she chose to spread on the sofa with an absent-minded look on
her face in the living room.
She asked herself when she found out that something was not right about her grandpa. Strictly
speaking, she found Tomas was not right in the first place.
With observation and eavesdropping, she discovered that Tomas was just doing things under the
instruction of the old man.
Covering her face with hands, Louie felt loss inside, and failed to figure out any clues.
A while later, the old man came back. Strolling seemed to make him look better in terms of mentality,
while exhausting him at the same time.
In haste, Louie called up the old man and said she wanted to talk to him. Actually, she was just afraid
that the old man would find out what happened to the safe box.
Without thinking too much, Ryan accepted.
Taking the opportunity of an advantage, Louie asked him about how to handle the matter of Jakub.
Even though he was still young, rules were still necessary to be followed.
Turning around and looking outside for quite a long while, the old man uttered, "We shall consign the
cinerary casket of Jakub to the mortuary house. He died too young to be buried for the moment."
According to the old rules, as long as he and Tomas were still living, Jakub would then not be able to
be buried.
Neither did Louie understand these rules, nor did she care about such details.
If a man was not treated properly when he was still alive, then it would be meaningless to make up for
him with anything when he was dead.
With a yes coming out of her mouth, she then suggested the old man to persuade Tomas.
Although Tomas would tuff his ears and refuse to listen to the words of Louie, he would definitely listen
to the words of the old man, since he was a man with filial piety.
Looking at Louie, the old man said with a relieved expression on his face, "You're such a good girl,
Louie."
Staring at the old man for a while, Louie lowered her eyes and said, "That's what I should do."
As they sat for quite a while, the servant came downstairs and said that Mrs. Henderson was again
losing control.
Helplessly, Louie stood up and followed the servant.
When they reached the staircase of the second floor, she stopped, leaned to one side and casted a
glimpse at the old man downstairs.
With both of his hands putting on the top of his walking stick, he was seemingly thinking about
something. A while later, he took out his phone.
Without messaging or dialing anyone, he just simple checked it up.
Looking at him for a few seconds, Louie then turned around to the room of Mrs. Henderson.
Mrs. Henderson was currently out of control, raving and crying in pain.
She just kept saying that she saw Jakub was here for her and crying.
There was no better option — Mrs. Henderson and Tomas must now live separately.
They were all in bad condition, and if they were put together in the same room, things would be
complicated.
Louie walked up, held Mrs. Henderson in her arms and whispered deeply, "Think about your husband,
mom. He'll never get better if you keep being like that."
Hearing that, Mrs. Henderson burst into tears, "I don't care about what happened to that man! He has
hounded my son to death!"
