Chapter 735: What Little Monster Did Olive Give Birth To?
In the hospital hallway, Alpha heard Lilyโs cries. She wept as if Bounty were her own sister. "Bounty, wake up! Wake up! Open your eyes! Why did you swallow the medicine? Your sister-in-law is here! Please wake up!"
Alpha pushed open the VIP ward door. Bounty lay on the bed, her face pale. Lily rushed to him, tears streaming down her face. "Alpha, Bountyโฆ she swallowed medicine and committed suicide! The doctor says sheโs dead. Alpha, you must avenge Bounty!"
Alpha calmly stood by the bed, taking Bounty's hand. He held it tightly, trying to impart warmth. Lily knew how much Alpha loved his sister. She grabbed his sleeve. "Alpha, itโs all Annabelleโs fault! She provoked Bounty. Annabelle triggered this!"
"How could Annabelle be so cruel? Why did she do this? Alpha, Bounty is your sister; you must avenge her!"
Alpha, expressionless, stared at Lily. "Bounty is my sister, but Annabelle is your sister. You're encouraging me to take revenge on your sister. You're more ruthless than Annabelle."
Lily was stunned.
"Also," Alpha probed, "how did you know? You seem to know more than I do." Lily's prepared story crumbled. Alpha wasn't easily fooled.
Lily stammered, then recovered. "I heard it from Bounty. Even though Annabelle is my sister, she's the prime suspect. Bounty was like a sister to me. If Annabelle killed her, she needs to be prosecuted." Alpha calmly lowered his eyes to Bounty.
Silence fell. Lily anxiously awaited Alpha's reaction.
"Alpha, Bounty is dead. Let's arrange her funeral. We can't leave her here," Lily urged.
Just then, the ward door opened. A cold voice cut through the tension. "We can't arrange a funeral yet!"
Lily turned to see little Nathan.

Lily disliked Nathan. Since birth, he possessed exceptional intelligence and inherited the Augustine family's best genes. Lily sensed he would surpass his father and grandfather. She wondered what kind of child Olive had given Elvis.
"Nathan, why are you here? Your auntโฆ she's dead!"
Nathan, beloved by the Augustine family, including Bounty (despite her dislike of Elvis), had been particularly close to Bounty. Lily's dislike of him paled in comparison to the family's affection.
Nathan approached the bed, covering Bounty with a quilt as if she were merely asleep. "My aunt isn't dead," he stated.
Lily was shocked. "Nathan, what nonsense? She's not breathing. The doctor confirmed it."
Nathan frowned. "I said, she's not dead. She's just tired. Let her rest."
Lily felt further conversation pointless. Bounty was clearly dead.
"Alpha, Nathan's attachment to Bounty is deep. This will be hard for him. Children don't understand like adults. Decide quickly. We can't leave Bounty here long. Let's arrange the funeral," Lily pressed Alpha.
Alpha released Bounty's hand, tucking it under the blanket.
"Alpha, you're crazy!" Lily exclaimed.
"I've decided. I'll block all news and rumors. And you, watch your words," Alpha said before leaving.
Lily froze. Bounty's death would be suppressed. A bad feeling washed over her. She checked Bounty's noseโcold, no breath.
Fear gripped her. She didn't understand Alpha's actions. Bounty was dead. What were Alpha and Nathan up to?
Two bodyguards entered. "Ma'am, the boss has ordered you to leave this ward immediately."
