Chapter 356
“I’ll sign on Sergio’s behalf. Do you have any other questions?”
“N–No,” the nurse quickly replied. “Then, please follow me upstairs to sign the documents.”

“It’s okay. I’m wearing heels, so it’s not that convenient. Get the death certificate from upstairs, and I’ll sign it here.”
“Okay. Then, I’ll head upstairs first. Ms. Stewart, please wait for a moment.”
The nurse left the morgue, leaving Clara alone.
Clara went forward and removed the white cloth. The woman under the white cloth was pale, with dark circles under her eyes. She looked so sick and nothing like a daughter from a wealthy family.
Looking at herself in her previous life, Maeve couldn’t help but laugh.
She had made herself suffer terribly because of Sergio in her previous life, but she still had such a miserable end. It was just unworthy.
“Maeve, don’t blame me for being cruel. I can only become Mrs. Brooks once you’re dead.”
Clara removed the ring from the body’s finger and studied it carefully.
Maeve remembered that this ring had been given by Hailey after she had become pregnant in her previous life.
Hailey had even told Maeve that she would only acknowledge her as her granddaughter–in–law of the Brooks family.
Everything seemed like a joke to her now.
“I didn’t expect Sergio to give you the ring. After all, it’s a family heirloom.”
Clara smiled as she put the ring on her finger. “It doesn’t matter. From today onward, I’ll be the owner of this ring.”
Maeve was shocked at the mention of family heirloom.
The ring had been given to her by Sergio. How could this be?
Maeve still remembered that she had happily informed Hailey about her pregnancy. Hailey had been concerned about her and had even wanted to prepare a gift for
her.
When Maeve had gone upstairs, she saw the ring on the table with a note. The note read, “It’s a gift for you.”
She wondered if Sergio had been the one to give her the ring and not Hailey.
Maeve soon dismissed the possibility.
Sergio had been so disdainful of her, so it was impossible for him to have given her the ring that was also a family heirloom.
Everything seemed so strange to her.
Maeve wanted to find out what had happened, but another scene emerged. She saw Sergio rush to the hospital in the evening. He yanked at the doctor’s collar and asked about the person who had signed the death certificate.
It was rare for her to see Sergio losing control. Just when she wanted to listen to Sergio, she suddenly woke up from her dream.
Maeve immediately sat up and broke into a cold sweat.
Everything in the dream felt exceptionally real, and she could remember every single detail.
She wondered if she had really dreamed of the ending of her previous life.
“Ms. Scott, are you okay?” Outside the room, the housekeeper asked worriedly, “Did you have a nightmare?”
“I’m fine.”
Maeve composed herself and switched on the table lamp next to her. She realized that it was almost dawn,
It was 5:30 am.
Maeve tried to go back to sleep, but she could no longer dream about what had happened next in her dream just now.
