The bartender hesitated , unable to keep his doubts to himself . Such talk was obviously nonsense , completely unbelievable . Could a man as distinguished as him really believe these absurd rumors ? Though he thought this , the bartender said nothing , simply arranged for someone to escort Nathaniel home and told a well - intentioned lie . " Sir , you're drunk . Go home and rest , and you'll see the person you want to see . " Hearing this , Nathaniel's cold eyes flickered . He nodded and obediently followed the attendant out .

Nathaniel didn't enter the villa , but went straight to the underground cold storage . As soon as the cold storage door opened , a bone - chilling cold instantly crept over his body , making him shiver involuntarily . He wore only a thin shirt , yet showed no intention of putting on more clothes . He walked resolutely toward the open casket , sat down beside it , and slowly closed his eyes . Yet even after countless glasses of strong liquor , he still felt no trace of sleepiness . Not even a single hallucination resembling Genevieve appeared before his eyes .

Once everything was arranged , Nathaniel climbed into the open casket , lay down beside Genevieve , held her hand , gripped the dagger with her , and stabbed it forcefully into his chest .
