NovelGoldChapter 388 "That's impossible. I don't believe it. Claire can't be dead. Go back in there and save her go! Save her!" Sean shook his head desperately, refusing to accept the brutal truth.
Jeffry, Liam, Victor, and Normand all stood frozen in place, stunned.
Claire...dead? How could this be? Why her? It just wasn't fair.
She'd never hurt anyone in her life-hardworking, bright, honest, and kind. Claire was one of those rare good souls. Yet from the moment she was born, her own father abandoned her. She barely survived fifteen years in an orphanage, only to return hand face cruelty, false accusations, and five years behind bars for a crshe didn't commit.
She finally got out, but life never let up. Again and again, she was targeted, framed, pushed to the very edge- until her life was finally snuffed out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWeren't good people supposed to be rewarded? So why did someone like Claire have to die such a miserable death? Why? Why her? No one could accept it.
Sean, nearly hysterical, shoved the doctor and screamed, his voice raw, "She promised to marry me! I haven't even brought her hyet. Save her just save her!" Jeffry closed his eyes, unable to bear it. "Sir... Ms. Linwood is gone." At that, a sharp, wrenching pain tore through Sean's chest. He doubled over-and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
It was just then that Mandy, finally regaining consciousness, staggered into the hallway and caught Jeffry's words.
She stopped in her tracks, her gaze locked on the doors to the operating room.
For a long moment, she didn't move. Then, slowly, she forced herself forward, step by step.
Liam spotted her and reached out. "Mandy..." But Mandy didn't hear him. She brushed past, numb, and walked straight into the operating room.
There, Claire lay motionless on the cold steel table, the harsh white lights overhead as bleak and unforgiving as winter snow.
Her hospital gown was stained with blood, her skin even paler than the sheets beneath her. Even her lips were marked by the dark traces of blood she'd coughed up just moments before.
Mandy gazed at Claire's lifeless form, grief flooding her eyes.
Those bright, lively eyes were now sunken and dull, blank with despair. She had no more tears to shed-she was simply... empty.
Mandy stood rooted, as if every ounce of strength had evaporated at the sight of her friend.
With trembling fingers, Mandy gently stroked Claire's face-so soft, so full of love and sorrow.

"My heart hurts so much. I want nothing more than to follow you, to die with you... but I can't. Not yet." "Claire, I'm sorry. I won't be able to keep the promise I made you, not now." "I just can't stand knowing the people who hurt you are still living in this world."
All the suffering Claire endured-the lies, the betrayal, the constant, om crushing despair-how Could Mandy just stand by and let the ones responsible walk free? How could she ever forgive?
"Claire, Sophia and Garnett Brown will pay for what they've done. Hl seen them dead and then I'll join you. Wait for me, okay?" "Just walk slowly, wait foron the other side." "If there's another life, I swear I'll find you sooner next time, and I'll never let anyone hurt you again." Her voice grew fainter, until it was almost a murmur.
For everything you did for me, I can never repay you.
Don't blme, Claire.
Mandy's gaze remained tender as she looked at Claire, but at the corners of her lips Xhint of m something dangerous crept in-a bloodthirsty smile that promised retribution.
