Chapter 342 She Was The Source Of Tragedies (1/2)

Hearing what he said, Rachel couldn't hold back her tears anymore. The deep feeling of being so brokenhearted, that overwhelmed her, was totally unexpected and bizarre. It seemed as it came out of the blue. So often Rachel had even thought that she shouldn't have saved Patrick and she could have let him die million times by now.

Regardless of what has happened in the past, the dark news that he was dead gripped her heart in deep grief.

Besides, the truth was, although Patrick has acted as a bad guy more than once and was very annoying sometimes, he had never hurt Rachel. On the contrary, he had always tried by all means to get to spend more time in her pleasant company. He had been attracted to her like a bee to honey and did all within his power to impress her with numerous presents. Nevertheless, she had never liked them.

In his own way, Patrick had always expressed his love for her.

”Are you crying for those, who are dead, or are you crying for him?” Hiram suddenly walked to Rachel and asked, gazing at her with his dark eyes. This questioning look felt like a ”knife”, penetrating deep to her soul and dissecting all her emotions.

Standing in front of this scary view, Rachel just closed her eyes and again could not answer to her husband's question.

No one really understood how she felt.

Many years ago, she had saved Patrick.

But now he was dead and the most devastating thing to swallow was that it was all because of her.

If it hadn't been for her, the conflict between Patrick and Hiram wouldn't have been so deep and Patrick would have been alive now.

The sequence of events clearly indicated that she was the source of tragedies that led to this fatal end.

”How come you don't know?! Maybe you can't answer yourself too. You have a crush on him, don't you?” Bitterly Hiram curled his lips in a ”crippled” smile and let her go from his strong grip.

After he had walked towards the clothes hanger, he left the suit he had just taken off, then headed to the bedroom.

Actually, he did admit that he had been involved in the death of Patrick.

In reality, he had never had the thought, nor the intention of taking Patrick's life away. Unfortunately, he hadn't expected that Marcia was so coldblooded to kill him o
