Chapter 196 Numbing Himself

"He's dead."

It was like a bolt from the blue.

Joyce's question wasn't even finished.

She froze there, looking at Elizabeth in astonishment.

"What?"

Elizabeth raised her eyes, looked at Joyce indifferently, and said calmly, "What?"

"De... dead?"

Joyce hadn't expected such an answer. After repeating it, she instantly became embarrassed and blamed herself.

How could she repeat her words after knowing that the man was dead? That was like rubbing salt into the wound.

Gosh.

Joyce blamed herself in an instant. She should have asked about Keith.

Now she realized why Elizabeth had never mentioned her past. When she asked Megan about it, Megan was hesitant every time. "This is her grief. You'd better not ask her about it."

Now she realized why Megan had described it as Elizabeth's grief.

And she understood why Elizabeth had lived alone with her two children.

"I... I'm sorry!"
