Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304: Chapter 301: Grind His Bones to Dust

Bai Su frowned slightly, as if she had already guessed something.

Yelias’s expression was grim.

Luo’an’s death had not been peaceful.

He had been doused in gasoline and set on fire. Even after jumping from an upper floor, the flames weren’t completely extinguished.

Instead, after his body was mangled on impact, it continued to burn.

Yelias was trembling slightly.

Luo’an was his childhood friend, the only person he had ever trusted with his sister.

Even though Luo’an had resented him for all these years, in Yelias’s heart, Luo’an was still his old friend.

Bai Su led Kong Ji and the others to the rooftop to investigate.

A suicide note lay where Luo’an had jumped.

Bai Su frowned slightly as she picked up the note. The further she read, the darker her expression grew.

After a long moment, she took a deep breath and said to Kong Ji, "Go bring Yelias up here."

’This is something Yelias has to overcome. He has to face it.’

Yelias came up, his face pale, and took the suicide note from Bai Su.

It spanned several pages.

It started from when the three of them first met as children, to him and Yelias’s sister secretly falling for each other and confessing their feelings.

And then, to the day before the surgery, when he gave her that fatal dose to drink.

When Yelias read this, his whole body trembled, and his breath caught in his throat.

The end of the note was a message from Luo’an to Yelias.

"I’m sorry I killed Alice.

The truth is, I already knew what happened the day after Alice died, when I came to find you at the lab.

But you know I loved her more than my own life. I couldn’t bear the fact that I had killed her with my own hands.

So, I’m sorry that I didn’t step forward to clear your name when everyone accused you of being the murderer.

I chose to forget, to push all the blame onto you. It was the only way I could find the courage to go on living.

That is, until the day I found her diary in her room.

I was suddenly struck by the realization that all these years, I hadn’t just killed her—I had also been hurting the brother she loved most.

If Alice were alive to see how I’ve treated you, she would be heartbroken.

I can’t go on like this anymore. Living is just too exhausting.

I’m sorry, Yelias. I’m sorry for making you carry the burden of all the accusations, the insults, and the guilt for all these years.

Since I’ve apologized, please, bury my ashes next to Alice’s. Thank you."

Yelias’s hand, clutching the note, trembled.

He always maintained a composed and proper front for Bai Su, striving to present his most elegant and beautiful side.

But now, it was as if all his strength had been drained away. He hunched over and squatted on the ground, his body wracked with choked sobs as huge tears streamed down his face.

Bai Su’s heart ached for him. For some reason, her mind drifted back to when they first met.

He had been an elegant, gentlemanly guest on her livestream.

Almost all the fans were there to see him.

He was, they said, the Beast World’s youngest and most promising doctor, the most beautiful and elegant, the man of every female’s dreams.

He wore a smile that was both high-spirited and gracefully composed. His eyes were as beautiful as jewels, and every single strand of his hair was perfectly styled.

He had always been so immaculate and proper, as poised and elegant as a nobleman, never willing to show even a hint of impropriety in public.

But now here he was, crying so wretchedly before her, his long, pale fingers clutching the letter so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

Bai Su gently wrapped her arms around him, patting his back in a soothing gesture.

Back then, almost no one knew that the brilliant Doctor Yelias they all looked up to hadn’t relied on the Lanton Family to reach such heights.

By the time they saw him, he had already been cast out of the Lanton Family, branded with the infamy of having murdered his sister, and despised by his best friend.

Everything he had, he had built for himself from nothing.
