Chapter 375

Unable to hold back his tears, the head of the house had to leave.

Margaret crouched on the floor to comfort Nico’s mother. Tears were glistening in her eyes as she said, “My dear,

please accept our condolences.”

“Boohoo, why is my life so difficult… We already told those fools not to go. Why didn’t they listen to the old man’s

words?!” Nico’s mother cried in utter despair.

Seeing this, Old Perry turned to the people and said, “You all can leave for now. You can come by later tonight to

help…”

After offering some words of comfort, the crowd gradually dispersed. After everybody left, the woman who had

previously gone home to check on her husband brought the man with her.

The moment she entered the house, she anxiously said, “Bradley, please help check on my husband. He’s been

sleeping ever since he came back this morning and won’t talk now. I’m so worried.”

The man the woman brought over was in his thirties. He was slightly chubby and had a stubble covering his round

face. His colorless eyes stared blankly ahead.

Old Perry only needed one glance to recognize that his symptoms were the same as those of his son.

“Ah… Prepare for the worst.”

The woman felt as if the weight of the world had come crashing down on her. She immediately fell to her knees,

bowing her head repeatedly as she begged, “Bradley, you must save my husband. Our family’s livelihood depends

on him!”

With a mournful expression, Bradley replied, “If I could save him, my son wouldn’t have died!

The reality was he had noticed something amiss when his son and nephew returned that morning. He knew they

were already dead but pretended not to know about it, even cooking a feast for them.

Nash looked at the man. Like the other two, there was a deathworm in his brain.

“Ahhh, what am I going to do? Honey, you can’t leave us…”

The woman sat on the ground, clinging to her husband’s legs as she wailed desperately. Even Yasmin could not help

wiping away a tear. Derek, a grown man, also had tears welling up in his

eyes.

They were all neighbors, after all. This was a small community where everyone knew each other. The loss of three

lives in one day was hard to bear

“You can’t bring the dead back to life. Please accept my condolences.” Bradley said as he lit the half-smoked pipe

and took a couple of puffs. Then, he pulled out a tobacco pouch from his pocket and retrieved a bank card from it.

“There’s 300,000 dollars in this card. It should be enough for your family to get by.”

Three hundred thousand dollars?

The woman looked at Bradley in disbelief. Margaret was also taken aback. They knew Bradley had money but did

not expect him to be this wealthy. He was giving away 300,000 without even batting an eye?

Nico’s sorrow was momentarily replaced by astonishment. His grandfather was certainly a patient man. He was

over 20 years old, and yet, his grandfather had not told him the fact that he was second-generation wealthy. He

was even imagining now he would propose to Yasmin with luxury cars and a mansion.

“I-Isn’t this too much?” The woman accepted the bank card reluctantly. However, she then quickly tucked the bank

card into her pocket and continued to sob loudly as if afraid that the old man would change his mind.

Suddenly, there was a loud crash!

The woman’s husband fell to the ground, blood spewing from his mouth. A two-centimeter – long blood-coated

deathworm shot out from his mouth, landing on the ground. The worm had countless tiny legs and was beginning to

crawl toward Yasmin.
