My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 375

Unable to hold back his tears, the head of the house had to leave.

Margaret crouched on the floor to comfort Nico's mother. Tears were glistening in her eyes as she said, "My dear, please accept our condolences.”

"Boohoo, why is my life so difficult… We already told those fools not to go. Why didn't they listen to the old man’s words?!" Nico's mother cried in utter despair.

Seeing this, Old Perry turned to the people and said, "You all can leave for now. You can come by later tonight to help…”

After offering some words of comfort, the crowd gradually dispersed. After everybody left, the woman who had previously gone home to check on her husband brought the man with her.

The moment she entered the house, she anxiously said, "Bradley, please help check on my husband. He's been sleeping ever since he came back this morning and won't talk now. I'm so worried.”

The man the woman brought over was in his thirties. He was slightly chubby and had a stubble covering his round face. His colorless eyes stared blankly ahead.

Old Perry only needed one glance to recognize that his symptoms were the same as those of his son.

"Ah… Prepare for the worst.”

The woman felt as if the weight of the world had come crashing down on her. She immediately fell to her knees, bowing her head repeatedly as she begged, "Bradley, you must save my husband. Our family’s livelihood depends on him!”

With a mournful expression, Bradley replied, "If I could save him, my son wouldn't have died!"

The reality was he had noticed something amiss when his son and nephew returned that morning. He knew they were already dead but pretended not to know about it, even cooking a feast for them.

Nash looked at the man. Like the other two, there was a deathworm in his brain.

“Ahhh, what am I going to do? Honey, you can't leave us..."

The woman sat on the ground, clinging to her husband's legs as she wailed desperately. Even Yasmin could not help wiping away a tear. Derek, a grown man, also had tears welling up in his eyes.

They were all neighbors, after all. This was a small community where everyone knew each other. The loss of three lives in one day was hard to bear.
