Chapter 585

Madeline:

“You’re going to be alright,” I told him.

Those were the kind of words everyone said to a dying man.

Even through the pain, he gave me a broken smile and shook his head.

“You’re so kind, Madeline,” he began, then started to cough. “But I know my time is up. It should have been up a long time ago, long before I started committing crimes for the sake of my stupid son, who has gotten himself into such a mess that I do not even know how I am ever going to save him,” he whispered, his voice cracking.

Every time he spoke, a wheezing sound came from his chest, and it sounded so painful.

“But I have to make a confession before I am gone,” he said, barely able to keep his

senses.

“What confession?” I asked, turning my head to look at the council leaders, who were as confused as I was.

There were some warriors and some Alphas standing there as well, just to note the confession.

He had specifically asked for me, along with the others, but he did not want anyone else to come apart from me.

“Ron did not kill his grandmother.”

The moment he said Ron’s name, I already knew.

I was on the right track.

I had guessed it right all this time.

“How do you know he did not kill her?” Lady Abigail grew impatient, rushing over

and standing beside the bed, watching her co-worker.

“I… because I did.” As soon as he said that, the gasps grew louder.

“I was so wrong for it, but I had grown blind to right and wrong. I wanted my son to have everything.”

It felt relieving, but sad at the same time.

“I want to apologize.” As soon as he said that, I closed my eyes and hugged myself.

“Lady Riva was an innocent woman, doing nothing but minding her own business. How could you kill her just to get rid of Ron, as if her life meant nothing?” I demanded, my voice breaking as tears rushed to my eyes at the memory of the kind old lady.

“I know,” Lord Eldon uttered before he started coughing. “I know I did wrong,” he continued. “I’m sorry for it. I regret it. What happened to my son is karma coming back to us,” he added, crying and sniffling.

Then he took a deep breath.

“I also want to…” He paused as his eyes widened, like someone taking his last breaths.

“What? What more do you have to say?” Lord William approached him, making me step aside so he could speak with him.

“Tell me, what is it?” he pressed.

“I did not…try to end my life.”

As he said those words, I looked at Lady Abigail, who also rushed towards the bed.

At that point, I had already started to figure it out, but I still did not know

what else could have happen vedno

Was it an accident? But why was he emphasizing it, even if it was?

“Then what happened?” Lord William asked him.

“I was…” Lord Eldon said, coughing his body starting to turn stiff. Even 1 began to feel anxious wh

watching him in that state. Co

“Pushed,” he said, his fist clenching as his body started to shiver.

“Call the doctors!” Lord William shouted to the warriors and helpers, who immediately got to work.

But Lord Eldon started to shake his hand, as if letting him know that nothing more could be done.

“It was Robinson, and he…” His eyes stilled his body stiffened, and that was when I watched his

relax. , y

Lord William turned to me and quickly pulled me into a fatherly hug so I would not

stare at him.

He was gone.

Lady Abigail started to cry.

He had just confessed to killing someone, but they had worked together.

It was probably because they had never really known each other.

Soon, the room filled with doctors and nurses, along with the Alphas from the other packs who had arrived.

But I slipped out to get some fresh air.

I immediately texted Yuvonne.

There is a bit of good news, and I do not know if celebrating it alongside the other news would be right.

Me: Lord Eldon is no more. He just passed away.

I sent her another text.

Me: RIP.

Yuvonne: Well, his son did not leave him a chance to live in this world anymore.

I took a deep breath and then typed another message.

Me: Well, he was not any less either. He confessed to killing Ron’s grandmother in front of everyone.

The moment I hit send, I noticed Yuvonne had quickly read it and started typing immediately.

Yuvonne: Wait, does that mean…

She did not finish the sentence.

Me: Yes, that means Ron will be free by the morning.

I smiled at my own text, feeling like things were finally falling into place.
