Chapter 768 Shirley Is Dead

While she gradually lost herself in copulation, she felt like she was drunk and was shooting for the

stars, floating in the air. Sometime later, she was tuckered out while leaning against Matthew’s chest

and lazily closing her eyes. “Matt…”

“Yes?” Feeling satisfied, the man was smiling as he hugged her in his embrace while rubbing her

cheeks with the pad of his finger.

“Hmm…” Veronica let out an almost inaudible groan between her breaths but did not speak because

she only wanted to call out his name.

“There, there. Sleep.” He drew a blanket from the back row and covered her body with it, patting her

back to comfort her like a child.

The worn-out Veronica then fell asleep in his embrace. She used to have insomnia, but it gradually

faded after meeting Matthew, which amazed her.

Back in Bloomstead, Shirley dragged her tired body back to her apartment and went straight to the

bathroom before filling the tub for a bath.

Recalling what had happened at the Brennan Manor, she felt endless humiliation and aggravation as

tears fell from her eyes. Just like that, she soaked in the tub for an unknown amount of time and did not

even realize that the water had gone cold.

Since she kept crying, she tired herself out and fell asleep.

On the other hand, Skyler unavoidably felt guilty when he saw her disheveled and sad appearance

after what he did.

After leaving Brennan Manor, he went to a bar alone to get drunk. However, no matter how much he

drank, his mind was filled with the image of Shirley tearing up in aggrievance. Frustrated, he decided to

pick up his phone to call her.

He dialed her number, but no one answered the call. So, he dialed it again but had the same results.

Even after repeating that five to six times, there was still no response.

A flustered Skyler felt his heart skip a beat while he had a bad feeling about this situation. Picking up

the wine glass before him, he downed the rest of the drink and got up to leave.

His first stop was the company, but he could not find her there, so he went to the hospital where

Wade’s mom was staying, but she was not there either. In the end, he went to the apartment Shirley

was renting.

Since Skyler had stayed here before, he knew that she had kept her spare keys hidden under the mat.

He found the key and opened the door before dashing inside. “Shirley?”

The living room was empty, so he went to the bedroom but found it empty as well. Looking at the bag

and phone on the couch, he knew that she was obviously at home. Then, his eyes landed in the

direction of the bathroom, so he walked over.

The door to the bathroom was ajar, so he called out to Shirley without receiving a response. At that

moment, he felt a heart-wrenching pain spreading all over his body and even his fingertips were

trembling slightly.

“No, that’s impossible.” A bad thought appeared in his head, but he quickly brushed it off.

Skyler carefully pushed the door open and walked inside. His actions looked like they were captured in

slow motion. It was not until he entered the bathroom that he discovered a person was floating inside

the bathtub.

Boom!

Feeling his body stiffen up, he stared horrified at the floating woman in the bathtub, his face instantly

turned ashen.

“S-Shirley?” He used every ounce of his strength to call out her name, but who would have expected

that his voice sounded as deep and raspy as a duck’s quack? His voice was so soft that it was almost

inaudible.

Although he wanted to move forward, his legs felt like they were made of steel and were so heavy that

he could not lift them. He wanted to call out her name but realized that he could not speak.

The scene from the bathroom at Brennan Manor reappeared in his mind, and one after another, the

scenes in his memory began to turn black and white.

It was the first time Skyler felt so much guilt for something he had done. Have I gone overboard?

“Shirley… Shirley?” It took him some time to return to normal before he dashed over to her body and

embraced her out of the water.
