Chapter 187 Derick's smile froze at my question. He probed, "Uh, why do you ask?" I expressed, "I'd like to visit him." He examinedwith a strange look. I didn't explain any further, let alone mention Chris' involvement with lan's death. I was confident Derick was in the dark about this, or he would've decisively ended his friendship with Chris.

"What happened to you?" He didn't answer my question but showedconcern instead.

"Why don't you takethere?" I steered the topic back. Since he was worried about me, I let him tag along Sensing my strange demeanor, Derick nodded and broughtto lan's grave.

Coincidentally, we saw lan's parents there and could hear their cries from afar. Other than sobbing, we heard scurses too. Although I didn't catch who they were cursing at, I figured it would be Jewel. Knowing it would be an inappropriate tto walk over, Derick and I waited until the couple left.

While walking past us, Alex Goodwin held his frail wife, Teresa Milford. They both looked pale and helpless. Teresa sobbed, which tugged at my heartstrings.

They did not glance ator Derick, as if the world did not matter anymore when they had lost their son.

Derick watched their retreating figures and sighed. "lan sure has put them through a lot." My chest tightened at that comment. "It's not lan's fault." If he had the chance to choose, he wouldn't have put his parents through such misery. He died in a car accident because he had been greatly shocked and overwhelmed by what he saw. "Hm?" Derick did not understand me.

Without saying anything, I walked up to lan's grave with a bouquet in hand. In his picture, lan wore a smile so dazzling that it could light up the world.

Yet, a man like him had experienced the most humiliating betrayal. I could only imagine how his world had crumbled when he found out.

"How's it over there, lan? Is there a billiard hall? Are you still good at it?" asked Derick. I stayed quiet because I had nothing to say.

After expressing his thoughts, he noticed my silence and told lan in my stead, "You used to ask Maddie up with Chris." when she's getting married every tyou see her. Well, ask no more. She's broken He said nothing after that. Throughout the visit, I stood silently and stared at lan's picture on the grave. Somehow, I saw his smile slowly fading into sadness, grief, and even anger... Taken aback, I instinctively stretched my hand out but my arm tensed up. The next second, Derick's voice sounded. "Madeline, are you okay? Are you dizzy or feeling unwell?" "Huh?" I turned to look at him.

"You don't look too well. Plus, you lost your balance and almost fell just now." His words surprised me. Did that really happen? I didn't notice a thing.

Considering my state, Derick decided to sendhome. As we walked, he advised, "You should cto these places less often. There are many spirits here, and your frall body might not take it well." Chapter 187

I was speechless. I didn't believe in such concepts, but I did feel om physically sick. As such, I sent Xander a leave request and went home. That day, I was in a deep slumber. By the tI woke up, the sky had darkened.

I could vaguely hear sdoor sounds outside, so I got out of bed and opened the ador. Indeed, someone was х
