Chapter 294 The Last Gift
The only place without gasoline was where Matthew and Isabella were.
After Emma lost her lighter, she walked over, pulled a chair, and sat next to Matthew. She held Matthew's corpse, then took Isabella's hand and placed it on Matthew's cold hand.
Emma said, "The three of us can finally be together forever. Matthew, I brought Bella to find you. Don't go too fast. Wait for us."
Emma slowly closed her eyes, even a smile appeared on her lips. Moments later, blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
Isabella thought, 'Emma must have taken poison in advance.'
Tonight, Emma had no intention of living. Of course, she didn't intend for Isabella to live either.
"Mr. Landon!" Jack's voice rang out. He and a group of people were blocked outside by the fire.
Isabella suddenly snapped back to reality, only to see Seb walking through the wall of fire, straight to her.
"Seb." Isabella's voice was trembling.
Seb took off his coat, wrapped it around her, and held Isabella in his arms."Bella, don't be afraid. I'm here."
The thick smoke from the intense fire was suffocating.
Seb looked at the inferno, knowing they had to escape now or never.
He held Isabella tightly. "Bella, I'm taking you out."
Isabella was already too choked by the smoke to speak. She didn't even have the strength to nod.
Seb carried her through the wall of fire, the last thing Isabella saw was Emma and Matthew's bodies being consumed by the flames.
The fire raged at sea for a whole day and night. It wasn't until the last spark was extinguished that it finally sank into the sea.
Three days later, Charles received the news.
After that, he requested to see Isabella.
In the visiting room, Charles sat alone for ten minutes. When the door opened, he looked up to see not only Isabella but also Seb.
Seeing Seb, Charles frowned, his eyes filled with disgust. "Who let you in? Get out! I don't want to see you!"
Seb didn't care about his cold rebuke, so he didn't even respond. He pulled out a chair and let Isabella sit down first.
Charles looked at the loving couple in front of him, more infuriated. "How ironic, even the devil has love."
Isabella looked at him. After a few days of rest, she had regained her strength and was much calmer. "They said you were clamoring to see me. If you have something to say, please say it."
Charles raised his hand, pointing at Seb, and questioned Isabella, "Someone like him doesn't deserve love. Isabella, you've been deceived by him!"
Isabella remained calm. "I should know better than you what kind of person Seb is. If you slander him one more time, I will leave immediately!"
Charles was stunned, and then laughed out loud. "Ridiculous, truly ridiculous! Foolish, truly foolish!"
Isabella stood up. "It seems we have nothing to talk about."
"Isabella!" Charles became agitated. He suddenly stood up, his shackled hands banging on the table. "Do you really know the man beside you? Are you sure you know? The devil's offspring is still a devil. A deceiver like Anna could only give birth to a devil. But she probably didn't expect that it was this very demon she gave birth to that sent her to her death!"
Isabella suddenly turned around, looking at him in shock.
Seeing her reaction, Charles laughed. "He must have told you a beautiful story, making himself look clean, right? Then let me tell you the truth."
He slowly raised his left hand, pointing his index finger straight at Seb, and said word by word, "The abortion medicine back then, it was him who handed it to Anna. And It was him who watched Anna drink that bowl of medicine, then suffer from abdominal pain and bleed profusely. In the end, she died in front of the bed!"
Isabella looked at Seb in shock.
Seb just stood there silently, remaining silent.
Charles's maniacal laughter echoed throughout the room. "He killed Anna! The ridiculous thing is thatAnna begged me to spare his life before she died. Ridiculous, truly ridiculous!"
Seb suddenly chuckled.
Charles froze, then he stared at him. "What are you laughing at? How can you still laugh?"
Seb looked up, meeting those angry eyes. "Do you know what I regret the most over the years? It's that I stood by my mother's bed, holding a fruit knife, but spared your life. Charles, you're a madman!"
Charles shouted, "I'm a madman, then what about you? Seb, what are you? You're the son of a madman and a devil. Even if you killed Matthew, you'll never redeem yourself!"
Seb sneered. "Did you forget? I'm not your son."
Charles was shocked.
Seb continued, "When I was five, didn't you already do a paternity test? What, you thought I never knew?"
"Yes!" Charles gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead almost bursting, his eyes almost bloodshot. "You're a bastard! Anna cheated on me. You're a bastard, who can't see the light of day. No matter how high you climb, you're still a bastard!"
"Is that so?" Seb was noncommittal.
At this moment, Jack knocked and entered. "Here's the paternity test report you requested."
Isabella clearly saw the words on the cover:[ Paternity Test Report.]
Seb didn't even look at it. He directly threw it in front of Charles. "Take a look at this."
Those words came into Charles's view, but he was cautious and didn't move, instead, he asked Seb, "What is this?"
"A paternity test report," Seb said, "It's also the last gift I give you."
After saying that, he took Isabella's hand and said softly, "Bella, let's go."
Isabella nodded but couldn't help but look back.
Before they walked out, she saw Charles reach out and pick up the report.
The door closed, Seb stopped at the entrance.
After about two minutes, Charles's roar suddenly erupted from inside, "Impossible, this is impossible! Fake, this is fake. Seb, you lied to me; you lied to me!" The roar was heart-wrenching.
Two days later, Charles committed suicide in prison.
Isabella accompanied Seb to sign the papers. A prison guard came over and handed a letter to Seb. "Mr. Landon, this is a letter Charles left for you. He asked us to make sure it gets to you."
Seb glanced at it but didn't take it, instead, he said, "Please burn it with his body."
