Chapter 640
When Samuel got to the seaside, firefighters had stopped searching the sea.
Ella had been found but she had no pulse and was not breathing.
Eric informed Samuel the bad news, causing Samuel to punch him on the face. Though angry at him, Eric did not show it. He
sent Samuel to see Ella's corpse.
At that moment, few people knew about what had happened to Ella. It was better to keep it secret.
Samuel mindlessly walked to the seaside. He pushed his way through the firefighters and looked at the body lying on the ground.
She still wore the ancient costume from the play. Her body was pale and swollen because of the seawater.
For a moment, he felt like his soul had been sucked away. He crouched before Ella and reached down to touch her face.
Her face was cold, which made his eyes bloodshot. His heart hurt as if someone had plucked and torn it from him.
Tears began to well up in his eyes. He murmured, "Ella, Ella..."
The crowd stared at him, slack-jawed.
