Chapter 72 It Was Your Birthday

Fros Come

“What do you mean I’ll never see him? What do you mean he’s in heaven? Tell me what happened to him

His eyes were bloodshot, and his swollen face showed a panicked, scared, and anxious expression.

racy stared at him for a moment, then broke into a smile. “If Angelic Etiquette Academy was really just a simple prison, do you think your smart and talented brother wouldn’t have been able to get a message out?”

Since he couldn’t help his mother become a legitimate wife and had to take care of his younger brother with a heart condition, Derek had forced himself to mature and learn many different skills.

His best skill was hacking.

This skill was the main reason Tracy was able to get out of the Angelic Etiquette Academy unharmed.

If the academy were just a prison, it would have been impossible for Derek not to be able to get a message to the outside world.

Chris’s face turned pale, and the hand holding Tracy’s shoulder loosened and started to tremble uncontrollably.

Tracy was satisfied with his reaction, but she still wanted more.

She continued, “Your brother, Derek, the one who protected you your whole life, but was sent to the Angelic Etiquette Academy by you, died half a year ago!”

Chris staggered, and his hand fell from Tracy’s shoulder.

But Tracy grabbed his wrist, stopping him from backing away. “He died right in front of me, eyes wide open, full of reluctance. He never closed them. He didn’t close his eyes even in death.

“And that day? It was your birthday.”

Forcing him to look at her, her voice turned cruel. “He told me that when you were a child, your birthday wish was always to spend all your future birthdays with him.

“But he’s gone. He died on your birthday. You will never see him again, and you’ll never be able to celebrate a birthday with him again!

“Chris, you’re the one who sent him to hell, and you’re the one who killed him!”

Chris couldn’t take it anymore. His legs gave out, and he collapsed to the floor.

A surge of panic, confusion, guilt, and fear flooded his mind.

“No… Impossible. I’m still alive, so how can he be dead? I didn’t want to kill him, I didn’t…

Chris suddenly clutched his chest, his face losing all colour.

He collapsed, gasping in pain, trying to say something.

His heart condition was acting up.

Tracy stood there with a blank expression, looking down at the suffering man.

He grabbed her ankle, his face full of fear and pleading, but her cold eyes stayed cold, like she was going to just watch him suffer and die.

Tracy couldn’t stop seeing images of Derek dying. She remembered the disappointment and the reluctance he felt when he talked about the brother he had protected, and it made her feel like Chris should go to hell for what he had done.

But then she remembered Derek’s last words.

She loosened her clenched hands, took out the medicine that Chris always kept in his inside jacket pocket, and went out to call for help.

Derek cared about only one thing in this world–his younger brother.

Even though his brother had betrayed him, Derek couldn’t bring himself to resent him, even in death. He wouldn’t let him die.

That day’s birthday party was supposed to be the Woodwards‘ big event, but Chris’s sudden illness threw it into chaos. Tracy used the opportunity to slip away.

No one noticed her leaving, and the Jackmans didn’t even know she had been at the party.

Only Walter, despite his age and running back and forth between the Jackman Villa and the hospital. noticed Tracy leaving early and coming home late.

At first, he thought she was just out having fun since she’d always liked running around, but she never stayed out overnight.

He trusted her to be responsible, so he never asked her about it.

But every now and then, when Tracy came back, he’d catch a strong, greasy smell on her.

She had always been a clean person and couldn’t stand strange smells on her body. So why did she keep coming home smelling like that?

Walter worried and finally decided to have someone quietly check on it.

He knew she hated people prying into her private life, but the Jackmans didn’t treat her like before, and since she never complained even when things went wrong, he was genuinely worried.

Tracy had no idea Walter had picked up on her odd behavior and was still unsure if she should visit Chris again.

Derek’s last wish was for Tracy to ask Chris a question and give him something.

But seeing Chris’s crazy and unremorseful behavior, Tracy didn’t want to tell him what Derek’s last wishes

were.

He didn’t deserve Derek’s genuine heart.
