Chapter 1063 Sudden Death!
Hayden and Freya spoke on the phone at least three times a day ever since their university days.
Sometimes, when Hayden was busy, Freya would take the initiative to call him.
It was rare for them not to talk for a whole week like this.
Even when Hayden and Maura were engaged, and Freya had intense conflicts with him, such a
situation never occurred.
Hayden even went to check their last conversation record, but the result still showed it was a week ago.
Hayden decided to call Freya, but a mechanical voice told him, "Sorry, the number you dialed is
unavailable!"
"Unavailable? What's going on?" Hayden became increasingly anxious.
At that moment, his assistant, who had been hesitant to speak, finally said, "Mr. Gollust, there have
been escalating rumors on the internet about you and Miss Chambers rekindling your old romance. I
suspect Miss Mcbride might have seen this news and got angry."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What news? Let me see!" Hayden was furious.
In fact, Hayden had a hunch that Maura might have another move up her sleeve and had planned to
deal with it after he got out.
However, Hayden fell ill right after leaving the hotel, and he was sick until now.
The assistant quickly handed his phone to Hayden and said, "Reporters captured photos of you and
Miss Chambers entering the hotel together, and they also said that you two stayed there until dawn and
then left separately."
The assistant added, "What's strange is that after the news broke, netizens overwhelmingly criticized
Miss Mcbride as the third party. So I suspect Miss Chambers might have hired online trolls to guide
public opinion."
Hayden quickly skimmed through the news and realized that the assistant's analysis was correct.
He did need to hold Maura accountable, but Hayden knew what mattered more at the moment was to
meet Freya and make sure she was safe.
That was right!
Since Hayden heard that Freya's phone number had become unavailable, he felt extremely uneasy.
Hayden's intuition told him that Freya might not just be angry at him.
Therefore, unless he saw Freya standing in front of him safe and sound, Hayden couldn't calm down.
Ignoring the doctor and assistant's attempts to discourage him, Hayden insisted on checking out of the
hospital and then asked his assistant to drive him directly to Freya's hometown.
When Hayden's car entered the village, everything here seemed to be the same as before, but
Hayden's intuition told him otherwise.
Especially the way those villagers looked at him.
Those unfriendly looks made Hayden worried.
However, Hayden comforted himself, thinking that it was because the news had spread around the
village, so the villagers must have thought he was a heartless man. Hayden didn't think it would be a
big deal. He believed that as long as he explained everything to Freya and the villagers, everything
would return to normal.
But when his car arrived at the front gate of the Mcbride House, Hayden realized that things were not
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmas simple as he expected.
Hayden saw everyone inside the Mcbride House dressed in black.
This was a symbol of a funeral!
Who had passed away?
Hayden quickly pushed open the car door and rushed into the Mcbride House, only to see Duncan's
memorial photo displayed in the main hall.
Freya was in a black dress, sitting in front of a table, crying silently.
Maeve seemed unwell, leaning against a chair with the help of relatives.
Hayden's sudden entrance startled everyone, and they all looked at him in shock.
But Hayden seemed oblivious to their gaze as he stared at Duncan's photo in disbelief.
"No..."
Hayden still remembered that on the day he left the village, Duncan had told him that he temporarily
disagreed with Hayden and Freya's relationship, asking him to sort things out before making any
decisions. Yet, Duncan personally saw him off at the village entrance, repeatedly reminding him to drive
safely.
Hayden could tell that Duncan had already treated him like a son, genuinely caring for him!
But how could such a kind and compassionate person suddenly pass away?
