Chapter 245 - How is this possible?

Closing her eyes, Hannah took a deep breath to calm herself down. Whenever she thought about the whole incident, it made her shiver in fear. She wanted to save both of them and not just Yifei but she couldn't. She was already feeling very weak and vulnerable after being down with fever for so many days and the cold water made everything worse.

"It's not your fault Hannah, in fact, it's no one's fault." Pausing for a while, Meili sighed, "The accident happened because it was meant to happen."

"Mei is right, no one wanted the accident to happen but there are somethings that you can't control," Nuying added.

Looking at Ning, Yichan sighed, "I should have told Roger the minute she told me those things, if I had done that maybe—"

Cupping his face, she shook her head, "It's not your fault, don't blame yourself for whatever happened Yi."

Resting his forehead on hers, he asked, "You don't think that I am at fault, right?"

Vigorously shaking her head, she answered, "No I don't, you are not at fault."

Pulling her into his embrace, Yichan breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why he hadn't told her about the whole incident was because he was scared that just like Roger, she would also blame him for Angella's death. The fact that Roger had asked him to take care of Angella in his absence but he didn't fulfil his promise had always made him feel super guilty.

Initially because of the guilt, he kept overlooking the things that Roger kept doing but later when his actions kept getting aggressive and fatal, Yichan couldn't take it anymore and started retaliating. How could he just sit back and watch him hurt people who were around him?

"The person who was affected the most by the entire incident after Hannah is Yifei." Pinching the bridge of his nose, Yufan sighed, "It was really very tough to handle her." With both Hannah and his sister going through the whole guilt trip, it was very difficult for Yufan to take care of them.

Though Angella's death had nothing to do with any of them and everything happened because of her aggressive and self obsessed nature, everyone still felt very guilty after the young girl lost her life and they had been feeling the same since so many years.

Keeping quiet for some time, Ning inquired, "Do you guys have a picture of her? I mean, a picture of Rogers' sister." For some odd reason, she wanted to see how Angella looked. The fact that she ended up losing her life made Ning feel sad too but the fact that everything happened because Angella was self obsessed and too aggressive made Ning pity her more.

"I don't have one," Yichan answered before looking at others.

"I deleted all the pictures years ago," Yuri added.

Taking out his phone, Muchan frowned, "I have a folder of all our trips, let me see if there is one where Angella is present."

"Don't bother, I have one," Lucas stated before passing his phone to Ning. "We took this picture a couple of months before she passed."

Taking the phone in her hand when Ning saw the picture, she scrunched her brows, "This—" Stopping midway, she zoomed the picture and kept staring at it for a couple of minutes.

Placing her hand on her back, Yichan inquired, "What happened honey?"

Keeping quiet for quite some time, she inquired, "Are you sure that she is Roger's sister Angella?"

Looking at the picture, Yichan answered, "Yes honey, this is Angella."

"How can this be?" she muttered before zooming the picture again.

"What is it Ning? Is something wrong?" Brother Bojing inquired.

"I have met this woman," Ning answered.

"What?" Everyone shouted in unison, very reluctant to believe what Ning had just said.

Scrunching her brows, Yuri stated, "How is that possible? Angella is dead, we all saw her drown."

"Exactly honey, are you sure you aren't mistaking her with someone else?" Yichan inquired.

Ning shook her head and explained, "No, I clearly remember meeting this woman and she also told me her name—" Thinking for a while, she snapped her fingers, "Ruby, yes she told me that her name is Ruby."

Without waiting for anyone's reply, she added, "And I did not meet her once but twice. First time, I bumped into her in Bruce's store and the second time, she voluntarily approached me in the supermarket meat section." Grabbing Yichan's sleeves, she exclaimed, "It was her Yi, I am very sure that it was her."

"But how is that possible? Angella di—"

Cutting Lucas off, Bojing stated, "Only the doctor told you all that she is dead, right? You guys did not see her dead body and neither did she have a proper funeral or cremation so we can't be one hundred percent sure that it actually happened. Lucas being her brother wasn't invited to one, isn't that suspicious?"

"But what about Roger? If Angella is still alive then why is he creating a chaos for so many years?" Guiren frowned.

"Maybe because Roger doesn't know that Angella is alive, maybe he thinks that she is dead just like you all," Ning answered.

"I don't know—" Cutting Guang off, Yuri added, "I think Ning is right, I also think that Roger is a victim just like us and even he is unaware of everything that has happened."

"Honey, what are you saying?" Guang frowned, Roger had once kidnapped her and ever tried to harm her. He couldn't understand why his wife was taking his side and thinking of him as a victim.

Placing her hand on Guang's shoulder, Yuri tried to explain her point, "I don't know if I will make sense here but until date, whatever Roger did wasn't anything fatal and actually harmed anyone physically."

"He did try to harm Yifei and if not for Shaofeng and his men, they would have succeeded in their plans," Yufan stated.

"Except for what happened with Yifei, whatever Roger has done till date wasn't anything very dangerous or grief, right?"
