Just as Nicole was struggling, Audrey woke up.
"What's going on outside?"
"I'm not sure. Mom, stay here. I'll go out and take a look."
Nicole did not want Audrey to be too tired.
Originally, Audrey wanted to go out herself. Considering her poor health condition, however, she had
no choice but to nod.
Nicole stood up and left at the sight of Audrey's nod.
Once Nicole was out, Audrey spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her stomach was burning with pain.
She struggled to get up, thinking that there should be a clue in the basement. How could she not find
it?
Audrey put on her shoes.
Everyone outside rushed to the main hall. Audrey tottered out of the side hall alone and went to the
basement again.
The basement was locked.
Audrey frowned.
There was nothing in the basement. Why would it be locked again?
Could it be that Lillian was caught back?
But if Lillian was caught back, why would everyone outside go to the main hall?
Audrey felt that there was something hidden in this basement.
She looked around to make sure that no one was there before taking out her tools to open the
basement door.
She learned this skill abroad from a gangster. She had not expected that she would use it here.
Audrey entered the basement again. With the experience before, she put on more clothes before
walking down.
Audrey followed the previous route cautiously and tried to find some clues, but she failed.
She walked all the way to the end, but she found nothing.
Impossible!
Audrey firmly believed that there should be some clues. How could she find nothing?
She continued to grope and suddenly touched something cold and stiff.
Audrey gently twisted it and the wall in front of her opened all of a sudden.
A secret door!
Audrey became excited at once.
After she walked in, the wall closed automatically.
Audrey felt that this place was even colder than outside. Did she reach the bottom of the sea?
Wait!
There should be a freezing machine here, because she heard the sound of the machine running.
Audrey cautiously walked in. Unexpectedly, this place was equipped with induction lamps.
She saw that there was nothing inside, but a round platform built in the middle. On the platform was a
crystal coffin.
Audrey's heart suddenly raced.
"Xander?"
She staggered over.
Xander was indeed in this refrigerated crystal coffin.
After more than two decades, Audrey finally saw her beloved man again.
He was still as young and handsome as before, but she had aged.
Audrey touched the crystal coffin lovingly, and tears suddenly streamed down her cheeks.
She was satisfied to have the chance to see him again in her life.
"Xander, you've been lying here alone for so many years. Do you feel lonely?"
Audrey muttered to herself. Obviously, there would be no response.
Now she could clearly recollect everything between Xander and her, even including the things that she
felt she had forgotten in the past.
"Xander, am I going to die soon? I guess that's why I could clearly remember everything between us.
Although you and I are destined to be a pair of star-crossed lovers this life, fortunately, we still have a
daughter. As long as our daughter could live well, we could be considered to have a perfect ending,
right?"
Audrey bent over his crystal coffin, not feeling cold at all.
"I really thought I would never see you again this life. At that time, they all told me that you were dead
and that they had cremated you before I came to see your corpse. I always felt that something was
wrong, but what could I do and say? I was not your wife nor your relative, so I had no say in how to
deal with your corpse. How helpless! I've been abroad all these years, living like a walking dead. I was
afraid that I would never see you in this lifetime. Fortunately, we meet again. I finally see you again."
While muttering, Audrey laughed and wept like a madman.
Xander was lying inside the coffin like a sleeping man, who had not aged at all.
Suddenly, Audrey found a stack of calculus papers pressing on the edge of the coffin.
She picked them up and read them through. Finally, she realized something.
"So this is why Elvis brought me and Nicole here."
Audrey's eyes turned as hard as flint.
She looked at Xander and suddenly said, "Xander, you also don't want Elvis to hurt our daughter, right?
Then let me go with you. The only pity would be that Nicole has never seen you, but it doesn't matter.
You will live in her heart forever, right?"
There still was no response, but Audrey smiled.
"Elvis originally planned to use the blood of you and Nicole to refine medicine for Una, so I guess there
are some traces of the experiment left on your body, right? This explains why Elvis furtively froze you
here. After being frozen, many things would be protected from being destroyed. However, you are
already dead, so your blood is cold. Even if you were thawed, your blood would remain useless. Nicole
is your daughter, so her blood should be useful. Elvis really could do anything for Una's sake."
Audrey finally understood the reason why Elvis had brought them here. She would not let Elvis
succeed.
"Xander, you must be very lonely lying here alone, right? I'm also about to die. I have cancer and I'm
suffering every day. If it wasn't for Nicole, I wouldn't be able to live one more day. Now that I've found
you, my wish for this life is fulfilled. Elvis hasn't found out yet. Would you like to get out of here with
me? We're not going to the cemetery. It would be great to die in the ocean, wouldn't it? Perhaps our
death could remind Samuel of Nicole's whereabouts. Nicole is our only child. She should live a happy
life. You don't know yet, do you? Nicole is going to be a mother, and you're going to be a grandfather
again. I don't know if Nicole is expecting a boy or a girl. I guess we won't be able to see it anymore."
Audrey was still muttering, but she had already taken out a lighter.
She took it out just in case she was frozen to death in the basement. Now it really came in handy.
Audrey looked around to find the power switch.
She glanced at Xander so as to remember his appearance.
She knew that Xander might not look the same as he was now once she shut down the electricity here.
He might turn into a dried corpse or rot, but so what?
She's going to die with him anyway.
With a smile on her face and tears in her eyes, Audrey finally pulled down the lightning switch.
An alarm sounded here once the switch was off.
Elvis' expression immediately turned pale.
"Who's in the basement?"
Nicole was slightly stunned.
Basement?
Mother?
She turned around at once, trying to run to the side hall.
Elvis noticed Nicole and hurriedly shouted, "Capture Nicole first."
"Let go of me!"
Nicole began to resist.
Harley didn't expect Nicole to be so skillful. Now she even became like a tiger out of worries about
Audrey.
However, there were plenty of guards. Even if Nicole was a skillful fighter, she was subdued under the
siege of these guards.
"Elvis, what are you doing?"
Nicole was sure that the person in the basement was Audrey.
Wasn't she resting in the side hall?
Why would she go to the basement?
Having no idea, Nicole became extremely anxious.
Elvis looked incredibly gloomy.
He said coldly, "What am I going to do? You'd better pray that Audrey hasn't caused any trouble,
otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
Elvis did not response. He ran towards the basement with his people.
The moment the alarm sounded, Audrey knew that she was exposed.
It was very likely that Elvis would soon bring people here.
Audrey kept calm and quickly opened the crystal coffin to carry Xander's corpse out. Only then did she
discover that Xander's corpse had already been dissected.
Many of his organs are sewn inside his body.
Audrey could not imagine what Xander had endured after his death. Her eyes turned red.
"I'm sorry, Xander. I'm late. You've suffered so much even after death. But don't warry, from now on, I
will accompany you. I will accompany you all the time."
Audrey found some gasoline and poured it on Xander and herself.
She really wanted to encourage Nicole to live well, but now there was no chance.
She could leave at ease, because she knew that with Samuel protecting Nicole, there wouldn't be too
many difficulties in Nicole's life.
Audrey carried Xander on her back and went to a corner of the basement.
She had checked that this place was relatively weak. When their corpses began to burn, the ice on the
wall would melt here. Audrey did not know whether they could die in the ocean, but with her beloved
man beside, she would even find the hell sweet.
Audrey lit the gasoline on Xander and herself.
The flames rushed up at once and quickly enveloped them.
Audrey could hear her skin sizzling and smell the smell of cooked meat.
She hugged Xander tightly with satisfaction.
She said, "Xander, I love you. I want to be with you forever. I don't want to be separated from you
again."
The fire was like a witness to their love and buried them together.
"Boom!" The basement collapsed.
The raging flames immediately illuminated the entire island.
"Audrey! I'm going to crush your bones into ashes!"
Elvis' eyes suddenly turned scarlet, like a ferocious beast that had been angered.
Nicole, on the other hand, had a bad feeling.
"How could there be flames? Where's my mom? Where's my mom?"
She grabbed Harley and asked, but Harley could not give her a satisfactory answer.
At this moment, Una was also awakened by the flames.
She looked at the sea of flames in astonishment and suddenly seemed to understand
something.
