Chapter 468 Oscar Is Still Alive
Oscar was taken away, while Gary and Ken led Zev off.
Kelly looked at Melody who was slumped on the ground and accompanied her silently.
Death wasn’t the most painful thing. The real pain was for those left behind.
Kelly had felt this kind of pain back in Solmaris … The agony of being separated by life and death.
The memory of Michael dying right in front of her was still painfully clear.
“Melody, let’s go home,” Kelly said, her voice hoarse as she reached out to Melody. “Right now, the most important thing is your health and the baby… You can’t let Oscar be left with nothing.”
Afelody sobbed weakly,
and as s
a broken laugh escaped her. “Just yesterday, they were all still fine
“My mother–in–law… I hated her. I did. But I never wanted her to die…”
Melody smiled helplessly through her tears. She was probably already heartbroken to the point of losing her mind.
Kelly pulled Melody up and held her tightly. “We’re adults now … We have to learn to accept it. Life is a constant process of letting go…
Five years as a hostage in Solmaris, returning home only to find her husband had remarried, her parents passed away…
Most people wouldn’t have survived that kind of devastation.
“Kelly, I can’t accept it,” Melody cried, burying her face in Kelly’s shoulder, her voice filled with despair.
And honestly, who could?
“I know … ” Kelly closed her eyes, unable to hold back the tears.
Who could accept losing the people they loved most in one day?
When Kelly was at her breaking point, Zev had been by her side….
But Melody–she had no one left.
“I’ll always be here for you, Melody. You still have me, you have Darren, and you have all of us …
At Kelly’s residence.
Kelly brought Melody back to her place, unwilling to let her go home alone.
At Melody’s place, traces of Oscar were everywhere.
The truth was, losing someone wasn’t the worst part–what was truly terrifying was… every day, every minute, every second, when the memories of the past cut through us like sharp blades, piercing both our souls and bodies.
Chapter 468 Oscar Is Still Alive
It made the entire body feel… like a bloody, mangled mess.
“Get some sleep. Kelly gently urged, helping Melody lie down before lying beside her.
Melody cried until exhaustion took over, but she couldn’t sleep.
She lay there, numb, staring out the window, her back to Kelly, not a word spoken.
Kelly wasn’t sleepy either. She watched Melody’s silhouette in the dark and quietly spoke, “Do you remember when we were in Solmaris? You never let me see you cry back then.”
Melody nodded, her voice too hoarse to make a sound. “Back then… besides Dr. Cooper, I was the oldest. As the senior, I couldn’t show you guys any negative emotions…”
Kelly wrapped her arms tightly around Melody from behind. “Life feels like a kind of trial. It’s like we’re trapped in a sea of suffering, and we can never escape.”
Melody was quiet for a long while before softly patting Kelly’s hand. “Do you remember what Dr. Cooper said to us back then? No matter what happens no matter how hard the road ahead, we can never give up on ourselves. We have to keep saving ourselves from destruction, time and again…”
…
Fate was in our own hands. To change ourselves was to defy destiny itself.
“Kelly, I believe in Oscar. He wouldn’t abandon me. Even if he’s no longer in this world, even if he’s gone, he’ll find another way to be with me …” Melody whispered, trying to comfort Kelly, but also herself.
She was the older one, and with that came a sense of responsibility.
Back in Solmaris, when Kelly was struck by Michael’s death and fell into a deep depression, suffering from anxiety and mutism, it was Melody who stayed by her side, guiding her like the older sister. Together, they had made it through the darkness of those five years.
“We made it through the hellish life in Solmaris … There’s nothing to fear!” Melody wiped her tears, and then turned to gently wipe Kelly’s. “Don’t cry! Stay strong… If we cry now, we’re giving the enemy what they want. They want to break us, but we’re going to survive–and thrive! We’ll show them we can thrive…”
Kelly couldn’t hold back her tears, but she suppressed them, nodding.
We must all live good lives–meaningful lives…
At Patrick’s residence.
Shawn barged into the living room, losing control as he grabbed Patrick’s collar, before the butler and bodyguards swiftly pulled him away.
Shawn’s body shook uncontrollably/his face pale and drained of color, and his eyes were red.
He couldn’t believe Oscar was dead.
As an illegitimate son, Shawn wasn’t close to his half–brother Oscar, yet the news of his death still left him with a sense of sorrow. For Shawn, it was like a sense of shared fate.
Oscar Wagner’s ending represented the position of these sons in Patrick’s heart.

If he could easily discard his legitimate wife and his son, who grew up right in front of him, what chance did Shawn, the illegitimate son, have?
“You’re crazy… You’re insane! Oscar was your son, your own flesh and blood! How could you do that? How could you?! You’re a demon, you’re nothing but a demon!” Shawn screamed, struggling against the bodyguards who were holding him back.
At that moment, Shawn realized just how foolish he had been all these years, striving to prove himself to Patrick,
He had been wrong.
Just like Kelly had said, he didn’t need to prove anything to anyone!
“That was Oscar…” Shawn shouted, his voice breaking as he turned to Patrick.
Why did you have to kill Oscar?
“Enough with the shouting…” Patrick groaned, massaging his forehead in irritation. “Have you taken care of the company issues?”
Shawn fought desperately to break free from the bodyguards, but he couldn’t escape. “Patrick, the shares of Wagner Group are already in Gary’s hands… He’s the one in charge now. Even if the executives and board members are on your side, no one will support you in going against your own brother!”
Shawn’s voice shook. “Patrick, all your plans over the years have failed … Ha … ”
He sneered at Patrick. “In the end, it’s all been for nothing! Zev isn’t dead, the Lockhart Group will never be yours, and now the Wagner Group belongs to someone else–you don’t own a single share! Remember when Osbert refused to give you the shares? He was protecting himself from you, he knew what you were- someone who could swallow his own flesh and blood without hesitation. You’re not human…”
Smack! Patrick threw an ashtray at Shawn’s forehead.
Blood began to trickle down Shawn’s face, but he only smiled sarcastically.
He broke free from the bodyguards and turned to leave. “Patrick… You’ll regret this.”
Once Shawn was gone, the butler sighed. “Sir, should we take Mr. Shawn with us?”
Patrick shook his head. “We need someone to stay behind in Seaville. Shawn is more resourceful than Oscar, so he’ll be useful for future work. Just take Oscar … and no one can know he’s still alive.”
Patrick was leaving Seaville. Beau’s child was now in the hands of the police, and whether the child lived or died, Beau would definitely betray him.
He had to leave.
Even a tiger wouldn’t harm its own cub, but Patrick couldn’t allow Oscar to remain in Seaville a. threat.
potential
He couldn’t bring himself to kill his own son, but with Oscar gravely injured and unconscious, Patrick would find a way to take him away, and imprison him abroad forever. He would care for Oscar, keeping him alive until he grew old and died in captivity.
It was just like how he once treated Zev, wanting to lock him away until he died.

Unfortunately, Zev escaped.
This time, though, with Oscar, he wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
