SWNOVELS Chapter 163
Chapter 163
When Edith heard this, she felt a little guilty because she had stayed with Carlos closely a few days ago.
She didn’t know how to tell Daniel that she was in love with Carlos now.
She had said she knew what she was doing and was just taking advantage of Carlos…
She felt conflicted and said cautiously, “Although he didn’t deal with it well, it’s not all his fault. I was originally criticized much because I got a work for Sarah’s help.”
“Why are you still defending him? I am very anxious about you. You can’t be so silly. Carlos is not a simple person. I’ve investigated him and found out something bad.”
Daniel frowned slightly and spoke with a severe expression.
Hearing this, Edith’s heart trembled and her eyes lit up. She was very curious about what that so–called bad thing was.
“Carlos had a fiancée before, whose name is Natalie Huffam. She is that celebrity Meggie’s older sister. However, something seems to have happened between them five years ago. Natalie left with someone, humiliating Carlos. Rumor has it that Natalie left because of Carlos‘ unpredictable temperament. Otherwise, why would she give up a life of luxury like that and leave with someone else?”
“Daniel, where did you hear the rumors? Didn’t you dislike gossip before?”
“Don’t mind where I heard it from. He indeed has a fiancee who left him. It’s also true that he acted brutally during those five years. Many people are afraid of Carlos. Don’t provoke such a man. He is far more dangerous than you think. Do you understand?”
“I also heard that Carlos has offended many people over the years. He hid from the light to the dark to avoid a fatal disaster. His fiancée was almost killed because of him, so she turned to someone else. Carlos… is really dangerous!”
Daniel’s expression was incomparably grim as he stared at Edith.
Edith was a simple–minded girl. When she heard those words, she became frightened.
She clenched her fists nervously, and her palms were covered with sweat.
She had always known that Carlos was dangerous but did not realize that he was so scary.
Would she… be able to endure it?
She believed in Daniel, but… she also trusted Carlos!
She took a deep breath and said, “Daniel, thank you for telling me this. Don’t worry about me. The relationship between Carlos and me is still in its early stages. I just want to leave the Lawson family!”
She feared that Daniel would be worried, so she resorted to saying that.
Daniel was skeptical, but he didn’t force the matter.
He couldn’t interfere in Edith’s affair so much, so the rest would be up to her.
After dinner, they left the cafe. However, after they left, someone also quietly left with evidence in hand.
Edith took on the bus and felt uneasy all the way.
She did not know what had happened back then and how baseless the rumors were. However, since she had decided to give herself a chance to choose Carlos to welcome her happiness, she could not allow these rumors to knock her down. Hence, she had to hold on!
She took a deep breath and then got off the bus. She would reach the villa after she walked a little further.
As Edith walked, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be someone following her.
She turned around warily, but someone suddenly rushed forward and covered her mouth and nose with a white cloth.

A strange smell entered her nose, and she felt dizzy instantly. In the end, everything went black, and she couldn’t see anything.
When Edith woke up, she found that she couldn’t move at all, and her face was covered with a white cloth.
The surrounding air was freezing, making her feel very cold.
It was so cold…
But she couldn’t make a sound. Ropes wrapped around her body, firmly trapping her on the narrow bed.
Edith thought. “Where am I? Why is it cold? Is it in the cold storage?”
“Who kidnapped me? What was the purpose?”
It was probably because of what Daniel had told her that Edith felt that the kidnapper was targeting her due to her connection to Carlos.
Could it be that some malevolent person had targeted her?
The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. At this moment, she heard the heavy sound of the iron door opening.
Someone was coming!
“Number 1 is the innermost one. Hurry up and get it out. The family members are going to take it away.”
“Dr. Andrews, there are still so many unrecognizable bodies in the morgue. What should we do?”
“The bodies should be cremated, of course. What else can you do? Alright, hurry up and get the body out of here. It’s freezing cold here. Normal people would be numb after staying here for a few hours.”
When Edith heard this, she couldn’t believe she was in the hospital’s morgue.
She thought, “Then wouldn’t corpses be lying around me?”
“Am I in a pile of corpses?”
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She wanted to call for help, but she could do nothing.
She heard the footsteps slowly recede.
The entire morgue was terrifyingly quiet, with the iron door creaking shut again.
She could only hear her breathing rising and falling.
Countless terrifying scenes appeared in her mind, and the zombies she had seen in horror films as a child popped up.
The corpse herder, the zombie tamer, and the ghost of the dead…
She now felt she was in hell, surrounded by dead people, and her nerves were weak.
Who on earth was that man? Why was he doing this?
At first, she only felt that her nerves were tortured, but as time passed, she realized that fear was not a sharp weapon to kill
someone.
The icy coldness made her temperature drop bit by bit. She couldn’t move, couldn’t produce heat. If this continued, she would freeze to death, ultimately becoming one of these corpses!
No, she didn’t want to die!
But no matter how much she prayed, no one came to save her.
She shivered in the cold, and in the end, she was a little delirious.
It was so cold…
It was so cold…
Chapter 163
All she was wearing were some light summer clothes.”
She would freeze to death.
She would become an ice–cold, stiff corpse. Maybe no one would recognize her, and she would be cremated with this group of poor unknown corpses. In the end, her bones would be scattered over the sea.
On holidays, no one would light a candle for her. Maybe she would still be poor in the afterlife, living a hard life and being bullied.
Edith thought, “Would anyone care about me if I died?”
“Sarah would definitely miss me, and so would Daniel. Maybe Summer as well.”
“What about my uncle? Maybe he would. After all, he raised me for more than 20 years. What about Vanessa? She wouldn’t miss me for sure. If I died, she’d probably be thrilled. Johann… Forget it, I don’t even want to know.”
“What about Carlos?”
“Would Carlos miss me?”
