Chapter 468 He Died for Her

"Corona, it's your choice! Either let your uncle live on, or bring back his ashes!"

Choice, huh?

It seemed that the only thing laid before her was a dead end, she had absolutely no chance to choose.

Head down, move forward.

Corona half-lowered her eyelids, inching closer and closer to Linda's shoes.

It was truly disgusting, so disgusting that her stomach was about to turn inside out, especially when she heard Linda's exaggerated and unrestrained laughter, Corona's stomach was even more filled with acid reflux.

But no matter how difficult the journey had been in the past half month, she had to keep going!

So many people had already died for her, she couldn't owe her uncle another life. If so, she would never forgive herself.

Finally, having eaten all the scattered bone soup and ribs clean, Corona could no longer suppress the nausea. She rushed to the side of the trash can, vomiting so much that it felt like the sky was darkening.

"Interesting!"

Linda leisurely took a sip of milk, while Corona had been kneeling on the ground eating for so long that the milk had already cooled down. Yet, she found it exceptionally delicious.

Perhaps, tormenting Corona made her feel exceptionally good, and also greatly increased her appetite.

Normally, Linda would only drink half a cup of this milk at lunchtime at most. But this time, she surprisingly finished a whole big cup of it.

She rose from her wheelchair, walking over to Corona with the pride of a peacock. Seeing that the room's door was still wide open, she turned around, closed it first, and then returned.

"What, you don't like tomato soup? Alright, tonight, we'll have fish soup."

Linda's voice was so gentle. She half-squatted down and gently patted Corona's back, "Come on, let me help you smooth your energy! Once it's smoothed, you'll be able to enjoy the fish soup better tonight!"

"By the way, Corona, did I forget to tell you something?"

Linda gently brushed the loose strands of hair by her ear, her posture alluring and seductive, causing Corona to break out in goosebumps.

"Sorry, you've just wasted your energy for nothing. I suddenly remembered, your uncle is already dead! He's dead, no matter how much you try to please me, no matter how much you swallow your anger, it's all too late now!"

"What?!"

Corona suddenly widened her eyes, staring intently at Linda, "Linda, what did you say?! Who did you say is dead?!"

I said, "Your uncle has already passed away."

A malicious grin spread across Linda's face, "Your uncle died this morning! I'm so forgetful, I can't believe I forgot to tell you such an important thing!"

Corona's eye sockets turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her pupils were also a bright red. She stood up, gripping Linda's shoulders tightly, "Linda, my uncle won't die!"

"Mr. Burke had said, just half a month, as long as I work like an ox and a horse for you for this half a month, my uncle will be fine! Where is my uncle now?! Give my uncle back to me!"

"Devon had transferred your uncle to the central hospital, his body should be in that VIP ward now."

"A corpse?! Nonsense! My uncle was perfectly fine, how could he become a corpse! Linda, shut up, I won't allow you to curse my uncle!"

Linda had no intention of shutting up. She continued to speak with malice, "Oh, by the way, Corona, do you know why your uncle died?"

"Because of you!"

"This morning, I visited your uncle, and kindly informed him that we were using him to threaten you, forcing you to work like a beast of burden for us, making your life a living hell!"

"I didn't expect your uncle to care about you so much! To prevent us from using him to threaten you, as soon as I left the ward, I saw from outside that he had removed all the oxygen tubes and infusion tubes from his body. Tell me, he was so sick, he pulled everything out, how many minutes could he survive?!"

"No! You lied to me! Linda, you lied to me! I can't believe my uncle has already... I can't believe it!"

"Well, don't believe it then, let your uncle's corpse rot on the hospital bed, just like your grandmother's corpse, stinking and infested with maggots!"

"I didn't believe, I didn't believe..."

Corona kept muttering the same words over and over again. She didn't want to believe that her uncle was already dead, but deep down, she knew that this time, Linda wasn't lying to her. Her uncle was really gone.

Uncle loved her the most. Given his character, he would definitely do so to avoid implicating him!

Corona didn't want to cry, she didn't want to shed tears in front of this venomous snake that had hurt her time and time again. But the pain in her heart was just too much, too unbearable, even her eyes hurt. She couldn't hold back her tears, no matter how hard she tried.

Tears blurred her vision, making her sight somewhat fuzzy in front of Corona.

It was as if she saw again, in that earthquake, her aunt using all her strength to push her away. By the time she turned around, her aunt's figure had already been swallowed by bricks and stones.

My aunt and uncle were in a love marriage. In their time, they loved each other passionately. In their small town, besides the sea of peach blossoms in March, the most famous thing was the love between my uncle and aunt.

Aunt, did you see? I simply didn't deserve to live in this world.

You traded your life for mine, but, I ended up killing your beloved uncle.

Aunt, I failed you...

Uncle, truly the best uncle in the world, he loved his sister, her mother, the most. His love extended to all associated with her, treating her like his own child.

When she was a child, she was bullied by a group of naughty boys in school. Her uncle, behind her back, sought out those boys to settle the score.

The uncle, who was usually as gentle as jade, turned into a terrifying demon when he disciplined those little brats for her. The mischievous kids were so scared that they never dared to bully her again.

But such good uncle and aunt, they were no longer there...

Perhaps, without her, they might still be in some corner of the world, living happily and peacefully. But because she existed in this world, they, a young couple, were separated by life and death. Ultimately, the uncle even died tragically on his sickbed...

It was her who brought them misfortune!

Corona forcefully covered her mouth, but no matter how hard she tried to prevent herself from making any disgraced sounds, her throat still choked up like a small animal's mournful cry.

Seeing Corona in this state, Linda couldn't express how relieved she felt.

She looked down at Corona, who was in a pitiful state on the ground, "Corona, you really do look pathetic now!"

"Like... a stray dog abandoned by the whole world!"

"Corona, don't blame me. If there's anyone to blame, it's you for coveting what belongs to my Linda! You harbored thoughts you shouldn't have, so it serves you right that the people you care about died because of you!"

"Your grandmother, your uncle, and in the future, there will be Penelope, there will be Ethan, they will all die because of you! You will kill everyone around you!"

"Linda, you are the most damned person!"

Suddenly, Corona stood up, she grabbed a sharp piece of porcelain bowl that had fallen on the ground, and fiercely stabbed it towards Linda's face.
