Chapter 2
I stood there in numb shock, watching Charlotte sob as she held Emily, blood streaming from her nose and mouth.
When the paramedics arrived, they informed us that Emily showed no signs of life.
“That’s impossible. My child has always been healthy. How could she just suddenly die?” Charlotte screamed hysterically.
The doctor looked at me with a complicated expression.
Charlotte became even more furious. “I don’t believe she died just from calling out ‘Daddy’ once. I demand an autopsy. Even if it was a sudden illness, I need to know exactly what kind of disease it was.”
After the lights in the autopsy room went out, the doctor sighed and said, “We couldn’t determine what sudden illness caused
the child’s death.”
Looking at Emily’s small body covered in incisions, Charlotte’s eyes were bloodshot as she confronted me: “Why? Why did Emily suddenly die so mysteriously after calling out ‘Daddy’ just once? What did you do to my child?”
Facing her accusations, I could only shake my head: “I really don’t know why she died. She’s my child too. I want her alive more than anyone else.”
I collapsed to the floor in despair.

themselves.
One man said: “When his first two children died, I felt sorry for him. Now I see he deserves it. He knows he can’t have children, yet he keeps having them. His ex-wife Aurora remarried and now has a healthy son and daughter. The problem must be with him.”
A woman said: “I’m starting to suspect he’s directly involved in these children’s deaths. Otherwise, why would he keep having children when he knows they might die?”
Another woman added: “Even if he didn’t kill them, maybe his enemies deliberately killed his children to get revenge on him.”
Another man sighed: “Actually, his wives and children are the ones who suffer most.”
When Jaxon and Nora rushed over, they found me sitting on the ground, weakly defending myself.
Gray-haired Nora protectively stepped in front of me and addressed the crowd: “Everyone, the police have already investigated. The child truly died from a sudden illness. We failed to take proper care of the child. This has nothing to do with Jonathan.”
Nora then quietly begged everyone to leave me alone.
The onlookers sneered: “Nothing to do with him? If one child died from sudden illness, that wouldn’t be strange. But why do all his children die this way? And they all died right after
aling out ‘Daddy’ once. Even the doctors can’t identify what5:15
Charlotte suddenly looked at me with a cold laugh: “Jonathan, do you really not know why Emily died?”
Before I could respond, Nora said to Charlotte: “Charlotte, we’ve wronged you, but this truly has nothing to do with Jonathan. I know you’re heartbroken over the child’s death, but Jonathan is hurting too. Let’s go home and talk this through, okay?”
Charlotte violently shook off Nora’s arm: “How long are you going to keep protecting Jonathan? When his three children died mysteriously before, you begged people on camera not to discuss it too much, afraid it would affect Jonathan. This monster could actually bear to watch you two plead with others, and you still want to protect him.”
Charlotte sneered as she looked at me: “Jonathan, would you rather watch your parents, at their age, humble themselves and beg everyone like this than tell the truth?”
