Chapter 1074 He Is Dead
......
After experiencing so many things together, Anderson no longer needed to worry about their integrity and loyalty.
The lives of so many people were at stake. He believed that they knew the seriousness of the matter and would not act recklessly.
Moreover, with Nora's help, there shouldn't be any problem.
Hence, Anderson was relieved to stay here to accompany Clarissa.
The news of Coby's death came on the third night.
Through the tracking device, they confirmed that Coby had returned to an island, and he was alone.
They pressed the button and detonated the bomb.
The explosion did not cause an alert. After all, it was on an isolated island, and Anderson had paid a lot of attention to the amount of a bomb.
Therefore, except for the fact that he was dead, there was no major damage caused to the island.
Jara and Emmeline led the people from the Thunderstriders to the island and found Coby's unrecognizable corpse that had been blown up.
No one would have thought that an old monster who had lived for more than a thousand years would die in such a way on the deserted island that no one knew about.
The next day, Jara and Emmeline came back.
He asked Anderson how to deal with Coby's body.
After a moment of silence, he replied in a low voice, "Bury his body together with Cara's."
Coby had harmed many people and done many bad deeds in his life.
But at the end of the day, it was all because of a romantic fantasy.
Since they could not give him the chance to fulfill his dream, now that he was dead, they helped him fulfill his dream.
Jara and Emmeline remained silent, but in the end, they got someone to do it.
Two weeks later, Clarissa finally recovered.
The conditions in this small town in the desert were too poor, and no one wanted to stay here any longer. So after a discussion, they decided to go back to Robert's castle. , They would only go back to Ascijan when Clarissa fully recovered.
On the second day after returning to the castle, Clarissa, Anderson, and the rest went to Coby's grave.
Because Coby and Cara originally met on this desert, their tombs would be set up in the desert.
There were no tombstones, only a small sand dune. Robert said that this was a rather common burial method there.
The desert's hot weather would completely evaporate the body's moisture, and in the end, they would likely turn into a dried corpse, which could be preserved for a long time.
When Clarissa thought of that scene, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
Anderson was afraid she would be frightened, so he quickly told Robert to stop talking about it.
When Robert realized Clarissa was afraid of it, he smiled with embarrassment.
"Clarissa, don't be afraid. Dried corpses sound scary. In fact, it's just like the mummy you saw on TV. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Hearing that, Clarissa was speechless.
Sierra pinched his waist and glared at him.
"I told you not to talk about it, and you had to stop."
In response, Robert helplessly scratched his head.
He was only introducing it to them as usual. What was the matter with that?
Then, they returned to the castle in the evening.
Robert's medical skills were amazing. Under his care, Clarissa had fully recovered.
Hence, Anderson decided to bring Clarissa back to Ascijan tomorrow.
Jara and Emmeline were also leaving as there were still a lot of things waiting to deal with in Blink City.
Previously, Emmeline's health was the main focus, so they put everything aside. Now that Coby was dead, and there was no hope for this. Therefore, it was better to go back early.
After all, life had to continue.
In a deep voice, Anderson uttered. "My men have found some Way Tree fruits on the island where Coby lives. When the time comes, I'll get someone to send them to Blink City. They should be able to support you for quite some time. As for what's going to happen next..."
Turning to look at Robert, he said sincerely, "Mr. Lane, I'm counting on you."
Robert waved his hand as if it was no big deal.
"Don't worry! Even if it didn't happen to Miss Illington, it involves so many people's lives, I will not ignore it. Hence, I will try my best to study the antidote to this disease. Although I can't guarantee that I will be able to figure it out, as long as I live, I will not give up."
His words surprised Jara and Emmeline.
In response, Jara said seriously, "Mr. Lane, you are a very righteous man. No words can express my thanks for your great kindness. I won't say any unnecessary words. In the future, if you need anything, feel free to tell me and I'll never turn you down."
Then, Robert said with a smile, "Okay. Mr. Holland, I'll bear your words in mind."
Only then did Jara and Emmeline leave.
After sending off Jara and Emmeline, Sierra decided to prepare a family dinner tonight because Anderson and Clarissa would also be leaving tomorrow.
When Clarissa found out about this, she was very happy as well. Thus, she helped Sierra to make the arrangements.
However, Sierra was worried that she would be too tired and that it would affect her pregnancy. So, she did not want Clarissa to help out too much.
Instead, she asked someone to bring a chair and put it next to her so Clarissa could sit and chat with her.
Sierra's culinary skills were amazing. Since it was a family dinner, she would naturally cook and eat at home.
Clarissa grew up eating food made by Sierra. She had always been very fond of her cooking and missed it very much.
During this period of time, she enjoyed being taken care of by Sierra and was actually very happy.
At the same time, Sierra was also happy to dote on her.
After all, Sierra had no children. Although Clarissa was not her own, she had raised her all by herself.
In her heart, Clarissa was her real child.
The feast in the evening was very lively.
Robert took out his treasured old wine. Since Clarissa was pregnant and could not drink wine, and Sierra was not good at drinking. Robert and Anderson were the only ones drinking.
The night was full of stars, and the dining table was set on the top floor's balcony. The family was drinking and chatting, while the night breeze was blowing, which was very pleasant.
At that moment, Clarissa's phone suddenly rang.
She took it out and found that it was a call from Anne.
Too many things had happened here recently. Clarissa and Anderson were worried about her and Marf, so they had already sent someone to send them back to Ascijan in advance.
The grandparents probably felt that something had happened here, and it involved the Thunderstriders. Therefore, they didn't ask anything further.
She had only asked a few questions about Clarissa's health and knew that it was nothing serious. Thus, she was relieved.
Clarissa picked up the video call, and Anne's pretty little face immediately appeared on the screen. Anne was shouting at her excitedly, "Mommy."
Smiling happily, Clarissa asked, "What are you doing?"
In response, Anne revealed her sharp little canine teeth.
"I'm accompanying Marf to watch cartoons. Mommy, when will you and daddy come back?"
At that moment, Anderson heard the clamor and came over to join the party.
When he saw the two munchkins in front of him, his gaze softened a little.
"What time is it? Why are you not in bed yet?"
Immediately, Clarissa looked at him reproachfully.
"What time is it? There's a time difference. It's still daytime in Ascijan."
Anderson had drunk a lot of wine, and he was already a little tipsy. Only then did he remember that there was a time difference.
