Chapter 319 The Crime Scene
"It doesn't hurt. I just feel sad. I don't even know the truth about my mother's death." Violet's tears fell
off, and it just fell on Stanley’s thumb.
Stanley let go of her hands and wiped her tears.
Violet threw herself directly into his arms after he wiped her tears off. She said with sobs, "Stanley, I
don't have my mother anymore..."
"I know." Stanley hugged her and patted her back gently, "But you still have me, two children, and
Steven."
"Steven?" As if being reminded of something, Violet pushed him away, raised her arm, and wiped away
tears with her sleeve at will, "You are right. Steven, I almost forgot to notify Steven."
With that, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Steven's number.
Steven was sleeping right now. After all, it was still night abroad. Hearing the phone ring, he got the
phone beside the bed sleepily. He didn't even look at it. He just put it to his ear, "Who is it?"
"Steven, it's me." Violet was helped by Stanley to sit down.
Stanley also sat beside her, took the file in front of her, and flipped through it again.
Abroad, Steven smiled when he heard Violet’s voice. His smile was very quiet and gentle, like an
angel, "Sister, what's the matter?"
"Steven, I..." Violet moved her lips, not knowing what to say.
Steven said in a puzzled voice, "Sister?"
"Steven, mom..."
"What's wrong with mom?" Hearing the sorrows in Violet’s tone, Steven completely woke up in an
instant. He sat up from the bed and asked eagerly, "Sister, what happened!"
He urged.
Violet's hand holding the phone was shaking, "You have to be calm, okay?"
Although Steven's heart had undergone bypass surgery, there was still a problem with his heart after
all. Violet was very afraid that after hearing the news of their mother's death, he would not be able to
stand the stimulus and had a heart attack.
"I see. Don't worry, sister, I’ll be calm." Steven took a deep breath and said.
Violet put her hand on Stanley's arm, trying to borrow some courage from him. Then she said cryingly,
"Mom, she... is dead!"
Thud!
Steven only felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was dumbfounded. It took a while to speak.
The voice was already very hoarse, "Sister, what are you talking about?"
"Mom is dead!" Violet bit her lips and said again.
The phone slipped from Steven's hand and fell onto the bed.
Violet stood up in shock when she heard the noise on the phone.
Stanley became serious when he saw her like this, "What's the matter?"
Violet didn't answer him, but tightly grabbed the phone and shouted into the phone, "Steven, Steven,
are you okay? Don't scare me, Steven!"
Listening to Violet's eager shouting on the phone, Steven finally came to his senses and went to pick
up the phone on the bed.
It was just that his hand trembled so badly. He picked up the phone several times before getting it.
Then he raised it to his ear tremblingly. When he spoke, his voice was choked, "Sister...why is it like
this? Why is mom dead? She called me yesterday!"
Listening to Steven's cry, Violet couldn't help but cried again. She buried her head on Stanley's
shoulder, and told Steven what happened.
After hearing it, Steven muttered, "It was me... I killed mom. If it weren't for me, mom would not go to
the Hunt’s. It was all me. Sister, it's all my fault......"
"No, Steven, it's not your fault." Violet raised her head and said quickly.
However, Steven couldn't listen to it. He thought it was his fault and blamed himself all the time, just
like Violet did yesterday.
Stanley took Violet’s mobile phone, "Rather than blaming yourself there, you might as well go back to H
Country and deal with your mother's funeral."
"Who are you?" Hearing it was not Violet but a man on the phone, Steven suddenly asked with a low
voice.
Stanley looked at Violet, "Your brother-in-law."
Violet was blushed.
Steven said in surprise, "Are you my brother-in-law?"
"Yeah." Stanley nodded slightly, "I have heard the conversation between you and your sister just now.
Your mother's death has nothing to do with you. You should blame Eason and Talia. But before that,
you have to come back. Your sister also needs your company. Besides, about your mother's lawsuit
with Eason, you also need to come forward."
Lily was dead. Violet and Steven were the saddest people. They could comfort each other together.
This was also a lot beneficial for Violet to get out of grief.
"Got it. I will buy a ticket to return home immediately." Steven sniffed and said.
Stanley gave a hmm and returned the phone to Violet.
Violet said something else to Steven, and then hung up the phone.
After that, the two left the police station and went to the Hunt’s to check the scene of Lily's accident.
The scene was sealed off by the police station. There were some police officers investigating inside.
Violet had a certificate from the police station, so they could go in.
As soon as they went in, Violet saw the figure drawn by the police officer with white lines on the
ground, which was exactly where Lily lay after falling down the stairs.
Looking at that place, Violet squatted down directly, covering her face and crying.
Stanley stood beside her, silently accompanying her.
After crying for a long time, Violet took a few deep breaths, blinked her red and swollen eyes, and was
pulled up by Stanley.
"I want to go upstairs to have a look." Violet raised her head and looked upstairs.
Stanley nodded, "I will accompany you."
"Okay." Violet was helped upstairs by him.
She couldn't walk without being supported. She had cried a few times. She had no strength a long time
ago.
In addition, she just squatted for too long, and her legs were numb.
Soon, the two went upstairs. Violet stood at the railing and looked down.
Although this villa had only two floors, it had a height of more than ten meters. Falling down from such
staircases, she knew what would happen.
Violet tightly grasped the railing with both hands, staring at the figure downstairs. Then she said
hoarsely, "Stanley, how painful and hopeless my mother was when she fell from here. "
Stanley's eyes flickered. He didn't speak.
Violet didn't have to ask him to answer. After all, she just sighed with emotion.
The two stood here for a while, but they found no suspicious clues. Then a police officer came to urge
them to leave.
After all, it was the scene of the crime. Although they got permission, it was also time-limited, which
was one hour.
Now that one hour had passed, it was time to leave.
Violet did not embarrass the police officer. She left the Hunt’s with Stanley and returned to the villa.
Because of Lily's death, the two children also asked for the leave. They didn't go to kindergarten and
stayed in the villa. Seeing Violet and Stanley came back, they rushed over, holding them. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Mommy, we don't have Grandma anymore?" Arya asked with red eyes, raising her head.
Violet touched her head and pretended to be strong, replying, "No, Grandma will always be Arya's
grandma. But Grandma will no longer be with Arya in the future. She just had gone to the heaven."
With that, she pointed to the sky.
Arya blinked ignorantly, "Really?"
Stanley picked up Arya, "Really. Grandma has turned into a star. Arya can see it at night. The brightest
one is Grandma."
"Dad is right." Calvin also nodded.
He was much smarter than Arya, and was still studying high school courses, so he knew exactly what
death was. He was unlike Arya who was half-knowledge.
So just let him be sad alone. He hoped Arya would be happy forever. After all, she was the younger
sister he vowed to protect for the rest of his life.
