Chapter 618 Stopped
Seven days had passed since Melissa’s death.
Thomas attended the funeral but skipped the repast. It seemed as though he hadn’t lost his daughter.
Similarly, Yara pretended as if nothing had happened right after the burial since she was never close to Melissa.
Only Yvonne seemed affected.
She stared at her daughter’s black-and-white photo all day long in tears.
Since it was such an important day, she invited the most respected priests to recite mantras. She was not stingy
with the money she spent to mourn her daughter.
Despite so, she was the only person crying in the mourning hall.
After midnight, the priests left the Nichols residence, and silence filled the house.
Yvonne did not turn the lights on and quietly sat on a couch. After the incident, her heart broke. She felt as if she
had aged. She was no longer as bright as she had been.

“Why are you sitting there in the dark? Are you trying to scare me?” He tugged on his tie in annoyance.
“You are finally back,” Yvonne croaked. She had cried so much that her voice became hoarse. “Why were you only
present at the burial? Where were you this whole time? What do you have at work that is so important you can’t
even be there at your own daughter’s funeral? Melissa is watching your every move from wherever she is. How can
you be so cruel as a father?”
Turning on the lights, Thomas glanced at his wife in frustration.
“I thought I already told you over the phone. There was a problem at work. I couldn’t leave!”
Yvonne carefully placed Melissa’s photo down and slowly walked toward Thomas.
A woman’s gut feeling tended to be accurate. Since Yvonne had nothing to lose, her intuition was sharper than
others.
Within seconds, she spotted half a lipstick print on his suit. She took a long deep breath before she scoffed, “This is
a lipstick print! Where did you get it from?”
Thomas glanced around and finally noticed the mark on his suit. Thinking that it was Yeva’s trick to declare her
control over him, he was caught in a dilemma. After all, Yeva was the only one who could bear a child for him. On
the other hand, Yvonne did not have Yeva’s youth or aura, and as a mother, she also did not educate Melissa well
enough. The combination of all those factors made him upset.
“It got there by accident!” Thomas replied.
“It was by accident? I don’t believe it.” Angrily stepping forward to grab his shirt, she snarled, “I thought you were
busy at work today, but you were busy fooling around with other women. Melissa is our daughter! Our only
daughter died. Doesn’t that mean something to you? How could you do something so shrewd while mourning for
her? You are unworthy as her father!”
After all that screaming, Yvonne reached the peak of her anger.

Instinctively, Thomas pushed Yvonne onto the floor and cradled his face in pain. “You must have gone crazy after
our daughter died. There is no way I can stay with a raving mad wife like you here!”
As Yvonne had fallen quite hard, she could not stand up by herself.
However, Thomas ignored her. He continued to cover his face while phoning someone.
Moments later, a psychiatrist in a white coat arrived at the Nichols residence with a medical box in hand.
“Take her away!”
“I am not crazy! He is the insane one.” Yvonne’s eyes turned red with anger as she struggled against his grip.
She was extremely aggressive, and in the eyes of a third party, she looked like a madwoman.
Given the situation, the psychiatrist tied Yvonne up with a strap before carrying her into an ambulance. They took
her away in the dark.
Soon after, Natalie received a message on her phone.
She was lying in Samuel’s arms at that time as he mindlessly played with her hair.
When she heard the notification, she reached for her phone. However, the man stopped her.
