Chương 197: Not a joke

The revelation left those that were not aware in shock and doubt. The sureness with which Phoebe delivered the news made it seem like she had personally witnessed the death.

Some like Emilia and Ekhart were in denial. Linda was still their daughter, however flawed she was.

"How dare you say that? You cannot just walk in here and utter such nonsense? You better back up your claims by providing evidence. Where is her body?" Ekhart asked.

Phoebe remained silent, her attention was focused on the old patriarch who was swallowing a pill to calm his nerves. He surprisingly accepted the news way better than she expected. Phoebe had thought the man would cry his eyes out or even collapsed but he had only shut his eyes for a second and then massaged his chest.

"So the dream was not just an ordinary dream. Ohh my dear girl, I was really hoping that you were alive somewhere." His lips trembled as tears rolled down on his wrinkled cheeks.
