CHAPTER 390: CHAPTER 390: HOW DESPERATE ONE MUST BE TO CHOOSE SUICIDE?

Written in red ink above, it said: "Lida, Kylie, I miss you both so much. Living alone in this world is so cold! I’m coming to join you."

Daisy Taylor’s face turned pale with fright. Instinctively thinking of Kiki Jennings, she blurted out, "Kylie, Kylie isn’t dead. We should hurry and find Auntie to tell her this good news."

Mrs. Taylor was stunned: "Daisy, are you saying Kylie... isn’t dead?"

Daisy Taylor nodded very firmly: "Yes, she’s not dead. I even saw her a few days ago, and today she called me."

Seeing Daisy Taylor’s determined look, Mrs. Taylor couldn’t detect any lie. She was furious, raised her hand to hit Daisy but, being her own flesh and blood, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

"Foolish, you big fool, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Why didn’t you tell your aunt sooner? What are you all trying to do? Your uncle has already jumped into the river out of guilt, and now you want to drive your aunt to death too?"

Mrs. Taylor cried.

Daisy Taylor shook her head in panic: "No, we didn’t intend for anything like that. I only got the call from Kylie after Uncle died. Kylie said she narrowly escaped death... Mom, this is not the time to talk about this; we need to find Auntie! We can’t let anything else happen to her."

Mrs. Taylor grabbed Daisy Taylor who was about to leave. She said, "Your dad already called several friends to help search separately, but Ravenswood is so big. Finding someone is really like searching for a needle in a haystack. You should call Kylie right now and tell her to contact the reporters, informing everyone in Ravenswood that she isn’t dead, she’s still alive, and asking everyone in Ravenswood to help find her."

"Maybe... maybe your aunt will see the live broadcast on the TV. Seeing that Kylie’s still alive, she won’t be so desperate. Hurry up and make the call."

"Oh... okay, I’ll call now."

Daisy Taylor fished out her phone from her bag, about to dial Kiki Jennings’ number, when she suddenly remembered what Kiki told her—that she couldn’t reveal to anyone that she was still alive.

She glanced at Mrs. Taylor. If Kiki found out she told Mom, she would surely be angry.

Daisy Taylor said to Mrs. Taylor, "Mom, I promised Kylie I wouldn’t tell anyone she’s alive because someone wants to kill her... Oh! I can’t explain right now. Let me go outside to make the call and I’ll explain everything afterward."

Mrs. Taylor watched as Daisy Taylor rushed out and closed the door behind her. She frowned, "What nonsense is this? We live in a society governed by law now; murder means going to jail."

Outside, Daisy Taylor dialed Kiki Jennings’ number.

The call connected.

"What’s up?"

"Kylie, something terrible happened, your mom attempted suicide."

"What? Then why are you calling me? Shouldn’t you be stopping my mom? If even a hair on her head is harmed, I’ll never forgive you."

Daisy Taylor felt a block in her heart. She also wanted to stop Auntie from committing suicide, alright? But she didn’t even know where Auntie was! How could Kiki say she’d never forgive her?

How did she not notice before, that Kiki was such an irrational person?

Daisy Taylor didn’t have the energy to argue with Kiki about this. She urgently said, "I also don’t know where Auntie went to commit suicide. It’s my mom who went to Auntie’s place and found her suicide note. My dad has already asked friends to help search. But Ravenswood is vast, and it’s difficult for just a few people to find someone."

"Kylie, I suggest you contact the media now and ask them to call on the public to help find Auntie. That way, there might be hope for her."

Kiki fell silent suddenly.

Daisy Taylor’s heart sank. What time is it now? And Kiki’s still silent? Does she not want to step up and ask the media to help find Auntie?

"Kylie, stop hesitating. Saving a life is as urgent as putting out a fire!"

Daisy Taylor felt more anxious than Kiki, even though it’s Kiki’s mother! The emperor isn’t worried, but the eunuch is!

"I know, I want to save my mom too. But, have you thought about it? If I call the media, wouldn’t that announce to the world that I’m still alive? Then I’d become a joke, and those online attacks on Ivana Monroe would all disappear. My daddy has already paid with his life; how could you ask me to easily let Ivana Monroe off the hook?"

"No, way."

Kiki’s voice was resolute.

Daisy Taylor was stunned, finding it unbelievable: "So, you want to watch your own mother die? Kylie... you’re terrifying."

Kiki’s face twisted, her voice sharp as she yelled: "What do you mean I’m terrifying? Stop saying my mom will die. Let me tell you, Daisy Taylor, my mom isn’t as weak as you think. She’s the most afraid of death. In the past, whenever she had some minor illness or pain, she’d rush to the hospital faster than anyone. She values her life the most; she won’t die."

Kiki’s last words were not only meant for Daisy Taylor but also for herself.

Daisy Taylor was shocked by Kiki’s words.

Before, Auntie cherished her life because Uncle and Kiki were around, and life was good.

Now, Uncle is gone, and Auntie believes Kiki is gone too. She thinks she’s alone in this world, feeling hopeless, so she chose to commit suicide.

How desperate must someone as life-loving as Auntie be to make that choice?

Why can’t Kiki understand that?

Or is it that Kiki has become so selfish... that she doesn’t care about Auntie’s life anymore?

Daisy Taylor said in disappointment: "Kylie, when a person is in despair, they gain the courage to do things they wouldn’t usually dare to do. I sincerely advise you, seek help from the media! Don’t do something you’ll regret for the rest of your life."

Kiki immediately replied: "No, my mom won’t be in trouble, and I can’t involve the media. Don’t forget, Ivana Monroe wants to kill me! If she finds out I’m still alive, she’ll definitely send someone to kill me. This is all your fault; why didn’t you kill Ivana Monroe sooner? It’s your fault... yes, it’s your fault! And now you have the nerve to advise me to seek help from the media?"

Daisy Taylor felt that Kiki was rambling and lost all hope in Kiki.

She still wanted to say something, to make one last effort.

Suddenly, Kiki shouted, "Daisy Taylor, contact everyone you can right now and ask them all to help find my mom. You must find her, do you hear me?"

Daisy Taylor: "..."

"Kylie..."

"Enough, I don’t want to hear you anymore. Hang up. If you find my mom, give me a call."

With that, Kiki hung up.

Daisy Taylor knocked on the door.

Mrs. Taylor opened the door and asked, "How did it go? Has Kylie contacted the reporters now?"

Daisy Taylor shook her head: "She won’t."

Mrs. Taylor was utterly shocked, angrily cursing: "That ungrateful girl, her mother raised her for nothing. I’m calling the media right now to tell them that Kiki isn’t dead; she’s alive and well, and asking everyone to help find your aunt."
