Chapter 460 She’s Smiling!

Alexander took Elise’s phone. Then, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace with one arm while

he covered her hand with the other, warming her hand up.

“Cameron, step on it,” Alexander stated solemnly.

Elise leaned against his chest. She couldn’t describe the panic she was feeling. She had thought that

she was already used to death, and she was also distant toward her family. And yet, now that this

moment was actually here, all she could think of was all the various times Trevor had been nice to her.

There was the time when he brazenly avoided Faye and acknowledged her as his only younger sister,

the time when he had summoned the courage to return to the company and fight for her status for her,

how he had viewed Alexander as his nemesis, how he wanted to stay at her side forever to protect her,

all those times when they chatted over meals, when he called her his sister, and when there had been a

sense of camaraderie…

Elise vigorously shook her head. She forced herself not to think about them. As long as I’m indifferent to

it all, I won’t be upset.

She kept repeating those words to herself. But when she finally reached the hospital and saw Trevor

lying in the bed with his entire body bloodied, Elise still lost it.

“Claude! Where’s Claude?” Elise whipped herself around to find him, only to realize that Claude wasn’t

here. “Danny, weren’t you watching him?!” she asked in a panic.

“I… I was with you all the whole time. That guy slipped away so quickly that I couldn’t keep up with him!”

Elise shook her head. “No way. Claude is one of mine. Bryce knows our movements like the back of his

hand. It’s impossible for his men not to discover that one of us is missing…”

So, they had to be purposefully hiding the truth. Or, Claude had actually been kidnapped by Bryce’s men!

However, Elise didn’t get the chance to keep mulling this over; the heart monitor showed that Trevor’s

heartbeat was getting weaker.

“Alexander!” Elise grabbed him as she said frantically, “I’ve used up all my needles. Find me some

needles, quickly. Trevor can’t die. My brother can’t die!”

She finally called Trevor her brother.

But he couldn’t die without hearing her call him that!

Seeing how upset Elise was, Jeanie once again broke down after she had managed to control herself.

“Yoyo.” She tamped down her emotions as she stepped forward to support Elise. “Calm down a little.

Your brother will be happy that you acknowledged him. This isn’t your fault.”

“No, I can save him! I can still save him!” Elise didn’t know how to explain herself. All she could do was

look at Alexander and beg him with her eyes. “Please believe me. Alexander, bring me the needles!”

Alexander and her locked gazes for a few seconds. His eyes darkened. Then, he turned around and

vanished down the corridor.

Every scrap of Elise’s strength left her that instant, and she collapsed to the ground in despair. Does he

not believe me?

Behind her, the waves displayed on the heart monitor grew smaller and smaller. A minute later, all that

was shown was a flat line.

All at once, tears streamed down from her eyes and splashed to the ground. Elise stared at the world

through her hazy tears. A massive weight of helplessness crushed her.

At this moment, the sound of running footsteps could be heard from the corridor.

Elise lifted her head and looked in the direction of the sound to see Alexander running toward her. His

side still hadn’t healed yet; he even had to press a hand to the injury on his side.

And yet, he still kept running with all he had.

“Hurry.” Alexander came to a stop at last and handed over the bag of silver needles he was holding.

After a moment of staring, the despair in Elise’s eyes cleared. She quickly took the needles and turned to

charge into Trevor’s room before locking the door from the inside.

Knock, knock, knock—

“Please calm yourself! The patient is no longer showing any signs of life!” The nurse calmly knocked on

the door. As nurses, they were already used to seeing people die.

Jeanie had a hand over her mouth as she burst into tears. However, she still forced herself to rein in her

emotions, sobbing as she tried to advise Elise through the door. “Yoyo, please don’t be like this. Let

Trevor pass on peacefully. Please don’t cling to him like this…”

Alexander quietly stepped forward and blocked the door. “The patient’s family still has something to tell

him. You can leave them be.”

The nurse looked at him up close. She bit her lip, too shy to meet his gaze. However, her voice softened

drastically. “Then, please console her.”

“Don’t worry. She’s my fianceé. Of course I know how to take care of her. I don’t need you to remind me

about that,” Alexander stated, his tone brooking no argument.

At the mention of the word ‘fianceé,’ the nurse’s expression did a one-eighty. Gritting her teeth, she

dashed off angrily.

Not long after that, Austin arrived at last. Jeanie ran over and wrapped her arms around him. “Austin,

Trevor is gone. Our son is gone…”

Austin nearly collapsed then, but he still forced himself to hold back his grief as the sole pillar of the

family. He held his wife and quietly comforted her. “It’s okay. I’m still here. This family won’t break down

as long as I’m here.”

“It’s Faye!” Jeanie accused. “It has to be her. She wants to kill you and our son. Look at what happened

to Trevor in the end. You can’t let anything happen to yourself. No, we have to drive her away and out of

the Anderson Family!”

“Jeanie…” Austin’s voice trailed off as he released her. “Don’t let your anger get the better of you.”

“I’m not just saying this because I’m upset!” Jeanie stubbornly whipped her arms back. “Ever since that

woman joined the family, the household hasn’t known peace. She was practically sent to torture us. Why

haven’t you seen the truth yet? Don’t tell me that you also want Yoyo’s life to be threatened as well?!”

Tears were welling in Jeanie’s eyes as she laid out her accusations. Her gaze went over Austin’s

shoulder to see Faye standing by the entrance to the elevator behind him. A crazed smile hung on

Faye’s face.

“She’s smiling!” Jeanie grabbed Austin’s arm in a panic and attempted to make him turn around.

Austin struggled in place. Only after several moments of hesitation did he finally turn around. However,

all he saw was Faye with a look of concern on her face as she dashed over.

“Mom, Dad, how’s Trevor?” Faye furrowed her brows as she asked, an uneasy look on her face.

“No! It wasn’t like this!” Jeanie pointed at Faye in fear as she spoke. “I saw it clearly just now—she was

smiling! Austin, that woman was smiling even though Trevor is dead! She’s far too terrifying. You can’t

stay around her!”

But Faye sniffled and put on a pitiful look. “Mom, why are you still accusing me during a time like this?

I’m also heartbroken because of Trevor’s death. Do you have to rub salt into my wounds?”

“That’s enough…” Austin was already worn-down from losing his son at a young age. There was no way

he could handle both women now, so he pulled Jeanie over to the side to talk to her. “Jeanie, listen to

me. Faye isn’t as awful as you say she is…”

Jeanie couldn’t process anything he said. Her fists clenched tightly as she looked at Faye. She didn’t

dare to shift her gaze away for even a moment.

Just as Jeanie expected, Faye’s expression changed the moment Austin turned his back to her. It

transformed into one of insanity, of demented unrestraint.

Faye was the one behind Trevor’s death. Jeanie was sure of it.
