Chapter 355
“Mrs. Brooks… is dead.”
Maeve, who was watching from the side, suddenly grew anxious, as Sergio remained silent.
She thought that Sergio would be glad to receive the news about her death.
Since she was dead, Clara could officially be Sergio’s wife.
Clara’s soft voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Sergio, who’s calling?”
The phone call was hung up, and the beeping sound rang out.
Maeve chuckled.
It was just like what she had expected. Sergio had barely shown any reaction after he had heard about her death.
Clara was his one and only love in his life.
Maeve felt as though something had been lifted off her shoulders. Just as she closed her eyes and was ready to escape the dream, she heard the doctor chiding,‘ Who took the type–A blood? Why didn’t you check earlier? Don’t you know who that person lying inside is?”
Maeve opened her eyes and saw the doctor raging.
Maeve was dead, and her baby suffered the same fate too.
One of them was the Brooks family’s daughter–in–law, and the other was the unborn baby.
The nurse stepped backward in fear and stammered, “I–I don’t know…”
“You don’t know? What about you? Don’t you know?”
The doctor asked another nurse. The latter lowered her head and cried, “I–It was Ms. Stewart.”
Maeve was taken aback when she heard that.
It was Clara, and not Sergio?
Maeve wanted to ask what had happened, but she couldn’t utter a word.

The nurse said to the doctor, “Ms. Stewart said that her relative needed blood urgently, so she transferred out all the type–A blood from the blood bank. We didn’t dare to go against her order.
Everyone in Seathburn City knew that Sergio loved Clara deeply.
Maeve was just his wife in name only.
No one in Seathburn City dared to go against Sergio’s woman.
“Fine. Since she’s dead, send her to the morgue. Quick! We’ll talk about this once Mr. Brooks is here!”
“Okay.”
The two nurses were horrified.
Maeve stood rooted to the spot and didn’t recover from the shock after a long while.
It wasn’t Sergio who had taken the type–A blood. It was Clara.
Maeve was in a trance. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the morgue.
Her body, which had been covered by a white cloth, was placed in a unit. Then, she heard the clicking sound of heels.
The nurse led the way for Clara, and she walked gracefully into the morgue.
She wore a customized white dress with her long hair draped over her shoulders. Her appearance was pure and innocent, and she looked slightly mature with some light makeup on. She held a branded bag and wore expensive jewelry, making her look elegant.
After returning from abroad, she was no longer the poor college student she used to be.
“Ms. Stewart, did Mr. Brooks tell you to come?”
Clara looked disgusted as she covered her nose with a handkerchief. The next instant, she returned to her usual self and smiled faintly. “Sergio is too busy, so he told me to come over. I’ve verified the body and can sign the documents now.”
“But her family…”
