Someone came in? Who are you speaking of\" She asked him. \"What did he look like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ned shrugged. \"I barely even looked at the person. I am not sure if it was a woman or a man. He was well covered. Only the eyes showed. Urma seemed very uncomfortable.

And when you returned he or she was gone yes?\" She asked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded. \"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And she seemed worried. Her demeanor had changed?\" Jasmine asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" He nodded. \"I tried to ask her what the issue was, but she insisted nothing was wrong. I had been walking back to the room when I passed the visitor in the hallway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And she did not say anything specific about it? Or anything at all?\" She asked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ned shook his head. \"No not at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t think Urma just died.\" Jasmine said . \"Something is wrong here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I checked her. There is no sign of foul play to indicate that someone did something to her.\" He said and he added. \"But u still believe that someone did something to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine sighed in heavy glad to know that she was not the only one\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then sighed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ned please I need you to try and remember anything out of the ordinary. Anything that seemed unique.\" She pressed on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to shake his head to indicate that he knew nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anything at all.\" She said to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No i-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then he stopped short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" She asked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head. \"No I don’t think it’s any relevance really.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed his hands and held them tight forcing him to look up at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ned whatever you think is off. Even if it is the tiniest thing.\" She commented. \"It could be the most important thing right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed and put his hands on his waist. \"Okay, i don’t think it will make any much difference or change.\" He said. \"But she seemed to have something pressed to her hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you it was irrelevant.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What hand was she holding firmly,\" she asked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged. \"Is it really important?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sge nodded hastily. \"Of the most importance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her right hand.\" He said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Urma is a left handed woman.\" She said. \"She hated using her right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only did that if she had zero options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She was pressing on her right hand only and it all happened when I returned. After the visitor had left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasmine snapped her fingers. \"What if he gave her something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ned shrugged. \"But if he did, then that should mean that it fell when she fell or she dropped it somewhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or it’s still in her hand right now.\" She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at each other and opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Urma was already being carried out by the burial procession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please wait.\" She begged. \"It’s my mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The procession gave it thought and left her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pretended to hug Urma one last time and she reached for both hands to see if she had anything inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt a small glass vial in Urma’s hand she she grabbed it and said someone words to Urma and stepped away.\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-06-06T04:22:13.102Z",1,"novelbin.me","303d2e97454c3391f413176224b7110eafeca05cbf71831ff39fdc763be023de","the-alpha-s-unwanted-bride-chapter-319","the-alpha-s-unwanted-bride-chapter-317",728,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-alpha-s-unwanted-bride-cover.jpg"]
