Chapter 609 The Bloodstained Wedding Dress

It didn't take long for the convoy to arrive at Rachel's apartment building. Although it was her second marriage, Rachel had chosen to inform her family this time. Her parents had happily accepted Zion as their new son-in-law. Following tradition, she returned to her parents' home before the wedding, as the bride was meant to be escorted from her family's house. Zion stepped out of the car and straightened out his suit. Despite his calm demeanor, a flicker of nervous joy betrayed him. When he married Lia, he hadn't felt this whirlwind of emotions. Lia urged him, "Go on! Bring the bride down!" The group entered the cramped, aging building. Rachel's apartment was on the fifth floor, and the stairwell had no elevator. The chill of winter crept into the poorly lit space. Lia was already out of breath after climbing just a few steps. Leonard was concerned. He slowed his pace to walk with her at the back of the group. Above them, loud shouting and sobbing echoed down the stairwell.
