Chapter 755: He Was the Only One Who Didn't Know

Hearing Isabella's name, Selene became excited. "Where is Isabella? Where is she? Is she... still alive?" She could hardly believe it herself, so her voice was soft, afraid the answer would be disappointing.

Andrew was also agitated. "Quick, tell us, where is Isabella?"

"Dead," Spencer said, his voice trembling with fear of being misunderstood as the one who caused Isabella's death. He quickly explained, "She was too badly injured to be saved. The wound on her waist was so long it went through her body. She had many injuries, especially on her face, bitten by something in the sea. If my daughter hadn't rescued her, Isabella would have been eaten by sharks."

Dead. Isabella had truly disappeared from this world.

Selene and Andrew couldn't accept this answer. Even though they were mentally prepared, they still held onto a glimmer of hope.

Andrew's emotions ran high. "Why didn't you notify the Whitmore family?"

The police were also searching everywhere at that time; no one had given up looking.

Spencer said, "She didn't want us to notify anyone. She knew she wouldn't survive and didn't want to cause more pain. In that condition, not even a miracle could save her. The fact that she stayed conscious for a few days was already a miracle."

This was something Isabella would do. At that time, Sebastian was unconscious and couldn't see her one last time.

Often, people unknowingly see someone for the last time without realizing it.

Selene calmed down and spoke coldly, "Isabella is dead. Without evidence, who can prove your words are true? Do you have any proof that Isabella wasn't killed by you?"

Spencer urgently explained, "We really didn't harm her. We had no enmity with Isabella; why would we hurt her?"

Selene's tone was sharp. "Audrey had heart surgery during that period. Are you saying it has nothing to do with Isabella?"

"No, we didn't harm Isabella," Spencer repeated but dared not admit they used Isabella's heart.

When they sent Isabella to the hospital and found out she and Audrey had the same blood type, Spencer indeed felt pity. But it was after doctors confirmed they couldn't save Isabella that he pleaded for her heart to be used.

It seemed destined by fate; they were a perfect match.

Spencer didn't dare say this for fear of being misunderstood as having harmed Isabella to take her heart.

Anyone would think so.

"Where is Isabella's body?" Selene wanted to find the body first. If someone died, there should be a body.

"Buried in the cemetery," Spencer said. "The truth can't be hidden forever. Since you already know, I won't hide it anymore. I don't want my daughter living under someone else's identity forever. Do whatever you want; she's buried in the North Suburb Cemetery. You can go anytime."

"We want to see her now," Selene said urgently.

Spencer was silent for a moment and then said, "Wait."

He returned to the boat, spoke a few words to his companions, and then walked back to Selene and Andrew. "Let's go; I'll take you there."

Spencer headed straight for his van with Selene and Andrew following.

On the way, Spencer remained silent as he drove them to the cemetery.

At the cemetery, Selene noticed fresh flowers and partially burned paper money in front of a tombstone. "Is Isabella buried here? Who came to pay respects?"

"This morning Audrey brought Grandma Whitmore," Spencer replied. "Isabella has been cremated; I can't give you a body. She's buried here; believe it or not."

"Grandma Whitmore knows too?" Andrew was surprised.

He worried that Sebastian also knew.

"Yes, she knows," Spencer said. "She came with Audrey yesterday. Before you arrived today, Audrey called me about moving Isabella's grave back to Riverton." He continued, "There's no hiding it anymore; do whatever you want. Only Grandma Whitmore knows; Sebastian still doesn't know about Isabella's death."
