CHAPTER 245
Everyone wore black.Black clothes.Black shoes.Black faces filled with grief.The sky itself looked dull, covered with thick gray clouds, as if it was mourning too. The air was heavy and quiet. No birds sang. No wind moved the trees. Everything felt still, like the world had paused for this moment.Margret stood beside Richard.She wore a long black dress that covered her from neck to ankle. Her hair was neatly tied back, but her face looked tired and empty. Her eyes were red and swollen, as if she had cried all night. Still, she stood straight, her back stiff, her hands clasped tightly in front of her.She was a mother burying her son.Richard stood beside her in a black suit. His face was hard and unreadable. He did not cry. He did not move much. But his jaw was tight, and his fists were clenched. Anyone who looked closely could see the anger hiding under his calm face.In front of them lay the body.Robert.The coffin was placed at the center of the open space, covered with white
CHAPTER 244
Author POVPatricia walked slowly beside Margret as they returned to the house. Their steps were heavy, as if each one carried pain and sadness. The sky above them looked dull, covered with thick clouds, as though the world itself was mourning with them. The wind blew gently, but it felt cold against their skin.Margret did not say a word. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her face looked tired, older than it had ever been before. Her shoulders were bent, not from age, but from grief. Patricia wanted to speak, wanted to comfort her, but no words came to her mouth. Sometimes, pain was too deep for words.When they reached the house, the door was slightly open. Inside, Richard was sitting on the couch. He stood up immediately when he saw them enter. His face was filled with worry, and his eyes moved quickly from Margret to Patricia, searching for answers.Margret stopped just inside the door. Her hands were shaking. She looked at Richard, but she could not meet his eyes.“M
CHAPTER 243
Before anyone could stop him, Karvel walked toward the nurse with long, steady steps. His face was calm, but his mind was racing.“Please excuse me,” he said politely as he stopped in front of her.The nurse looked up, a little surprised. “Yes, sir? How may I help you?” she asked.Karvel leaned closer and lowered his voice. “I need to ask you something. It’s very important.”The nurse hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “Alright,” she said. “Let’s talk somewhere else.”They both walked a few steps away from the waiting area, stopping near a quiet corner of the corridor where no one could hear them clearly.The nurse crossed her arms. “I don’t know what this is about,” she said carefully. “So please, go ahead.”Karvel took a deep breath. “I’m here about a case that happened some time ago,” he said slowly. “It involved Margret’s granddaughter and her classmate. The child who died.”The nurse’s face changed immediately. Her eyes widened slightly, and she looked around the hospital as if

CHAPTER 241
Morrison walked toward Karvel’s office after the meeting. Most employees had returned to their desks. Some avoided eye contact as he passed, while others bowed their heads politely.He stopped in front of Karvel’s door and knocked once.“Come in,” Karvel’s voice said from inside.Morrison opened the door and stepped in. Karvel was standing by the window, his jacket already off, his sleeves rolled up. He looked tired, the kind of tired that came from carrying too many things alone.Morrison closed the door behind him.“How is Mrs. Elena’s father now?” Morrison asked gently. “Your wife mentioned he was sick.”Karvel turned slowly. “He’s feeling better now,” he replied. “The doctors say he’s out of danger.”“That’s good to hear,” Morrison said. “Illness can shake a family.”Karvel nodded. “Elena barely left the hospital for days. She was exhausted.”He walked back to his desk and sat down. Papers were stacked neatly, but he didn’t touch them. His eyes stayed fixed on one spot, like his t
CHAPTER 240
“This company runs on discipline and respect,” Karvel said as he walked beside Morrison. “If the workers start feeling unsafe or disrespected, everything will fall apart.”Morrison nodded slowly. “You’re right. Fear never brings loyalty. It only brings silence.”Karvel glanced at him. “And silence is dangerous.”They stopped in front of the large doors of the meeting hall. Karvel placed his hand on the handle but did not open it yet. His grip tightened, then loosened.“I don’t know how to fix this anymore,” he admitted quietly. “Every time I try to calm her, she feels attacked. Every time I stay quiet, she feels ignored.”Morrison studied his face carefully. “Sometimes people act out because they feel powerless.”Karvel frowned. “She isn’t powerless. She carries my name. She has a position here. People respect her.”“Yes,” Morrison replied calmly, “but power does not always remove fear. Sometimes it makes it worse. When someone feels they must always be strong, they don’t know how to
