Chapter 408 His Own Fault

1/5

Lionel personally escorted Nicholas to the hospital while Byron took Cora back to the hotel.

They immediately changed their clothes and took a shower, ensuring that the hotel staff promptly

attended to their

garments.

Cora trembled faintly, even after a long shower.

Byron held her in his arms and asked, “How did you know there was something wrong with that bowl of

water?”

“The smell. The water, the priest used earlier, had no scent, but the one that was brought up later had a

strange smell…”

Cora’s sense of smell was outstanding. She could distinguish the medications used in the hospital just

by their scent, let alone when something else was mixed into the water.

“I’ve already asked Carter to help with the burial at the funeral site and take samples.”

Byron reassured Cora, lightly patting her on the back. “It’s alright now. Once my aunt is laid to rest,

we’ll return to New

York.”

He had initially wanted to bring Cora here, not only to avoid the chaos in New York but also to help her

relax. However, he never

expected such a thing to happen.

The brutal image of Nicholas being mauled by hyenas was horrifying, and it haunted him whenever he

recalled it, let alone

Cora.

At this point, he didn’t want Cora to stay in Burcane any longer. Once his aunt’s funeral was over, he

would take Cora back to New York.

“Um.”

She must still be terrified by what had happened, as even though she fell asleep later, she continued to

have nightmares.

As Byron chain–smoked one cigarette after another, he couldn’t shake off the unease in his heart. Just

as he was lost in his thoughts, Carter called to give him an update.

“How’s it going?”

“The water indeed contained a drug that induces excitement in animals. If Mrs. Hansen hadn’t

discovered it in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable,” Carter reported.

“Okay. How is the burial going?”

“We’re almost done. I’ve booked the earliest flight, and we can leave by evening,” Carter replied.

However, Carter added with a heavy tone, “There’s news from the hospital. Nicholas… He’s dead.”

This news sent shivers down Byron’s spine.

If Cora hadn’t noticed the drug in that bowl of water, Nicholas‘ fate would have been Byron’s own.

“Understood. Once you’re finished there, meet me at the airport,” Byron said.

“Okay.”

As Byron put away his phone, he noticed that Cora had awakened and was looking at him pitifully.

“Do you want to go back to sleep?”

He approached her, embracing her shoulders while deliberately ignoring the curiosity in her eyes.

“I can’t sleep,” Cora replied.

After a pause, she couldn’t help but ask, “Is there news?”

Throughout her restless sleep, she had been tormented by vivid nightmares of Nicholas being attacked

by hyenas.

“Yes, he’s dead…”

Byron knew he couldn’t hide it from her any longer and finally told her the truth.

As expected, Cora trembled upon hearing the news.

In fact, when she saw Nicholas‘ mangled and motionless body at the funeral, she already knew this

wouldn’t end well.

But now, after learning that Nicholas was really dead, it was still a huge blow for her.

“His death was caused by his own actions. It’s not the others‘ fault.”

Byron reassured Cora as he gently rubbed her head.

“Yes, it’s all his fault. If he hadn’t intentionally wanted those hyenas to take your life, he wouldn’t have

ended up losing his own. But…”

Cora burst into tears.

The sight of such a vibrant life being devoured by hyenas right before her eyes had left her deeply

frightened.

“It’s alright. I’ll take you back to New York now. Don’t be afraid, and don’t dwell on it,” Byron reassured

her.

As for Lionel, Byron decided to deal with him later.

Sooner or later, Byron would make Lionel pay the price for deceiving his aunt and conspiring with his

son against Byron.

But for now, the most important thing was to take Cora far away from this place of conflict.

Chapter 408 His Own Fault

Byron was a man of his word, and that very evening, they returned to New York.

Little did they anticipate that as soon as they disembarked from the plane, Byron would receive a call

from an unknown number…
