Chapter 1355

Bruce, that despicable man, was finally gone for good!

“If it hadn't been for Evelyn testifying that he had conned her out of over a billion dollars, Bruce would never

have received such a harsh sentence. It was all thanks to Evelyn.”

Hertha sighed with a heavy heart, “Such a shthat Evelyn paid with her life for it.”

At the mention of this topic, Thalassa’s breathing beclabored with grief. The intricacies and the reasons

behind it all had bectoo tangled to explain or unravel.

“Thalassa, Hertha, dinner’s ready, cand eat,” Astrid called out, carrying a tray of food from the kitchen.

“Coming!” Thalassa quickly replied. She took Hertha by the hand and they both made their way to the dining

table.

Hertha took a bite of Astrid’s braised green beans and complimented, “Delicious, sweet and tender. It really

tastes different from what get in the city.”

Astrid’s face beamed with a smile as she said, “Glad you like it, help yourself to more.”

She served another helping onto Hertha's plate.

Today marked the day Bruce was executed by firing squad.

After the execution, the police notified his next of kin to cand claim the body.

Lucy, upon seeing Bruce's body lying on the gurney, could no longer contain her trembling body and burst into

loud, uncontrollable sobs, throwing herself beside Bruce.

“Oh, Bruce, you heartless wretch, you've letdown your whole life, and now in your old age, you go and leave

“Mom, get over here!” Susan pulled Lucy away before she could touch Bruce. Panting with anger, she said, “Get

a grip. He had AIDS, and there's blood all over him Aren't you afraid of getting infected?”

Lucy looked at Susan through tears, “You don’t understand. Ever since your father knew he was sick, he’s kept

his distance, to avoid infecting me, we've never been intimate since. Even though he always talked about

divorce, his actions were always protecting me. Susan, maybe you can’t fathom what it’s like to love someone,

but your father and | shared true love. | was never worried about getting infected because | wasn’t afraid. | loved

him, and if | did get infected, then we'd just die together. | never imagined he wouldn't die of the disease but

would leave this way.”

Lucy said amid sobs.

Susan listened with a twisted face, unable to comprehend her parents’ so-called love. As far back as she could

remember, her parents were always quarreling.

Bruce had countless affairs with other women. Lucy was clearly upset, but she never brought herself to divorce

him.

How could Lucy call this distorted marriage love?

Susan couldn't see a shred of love between them, only betrayal, stubbornness, and endurance. Bruce betrayed,

and Lucy stubbornly refused to divorce. This suffocating marriage should have ended long ago!

“Don’t talk toabout your disgusting love. It’s grating on my ears!” Susan spat with revulsion.

Lucy, with tears welling up, glanced at Susan, then reached out a trembling hand, wanting to touch Bruce one

last time. There was a bullet hole on his forehead, the fatal wound.

Her hand touched his face, her cold fingertips felt a lingering warmth.

That touch ignited something within her, her shaking intensified and her breath caught.

In that moment, her heartbeat seemed to sync with his last. As Lucy's tears fell, she whispered, “Bruce, did you

think death would free you from me? Wait forfor just a few would free you from me? Wait forfor just a

few hours. | won't leave your side even as a ghost.”
