If after my previous chapter you're wondering, "Why did Ryder's mother die?" Be prepared to be shocked.

How did Ryder's mother die?

Ryder's father poisoned her. That's right. She died from a fatal amount of Cyanide. She and Robert were having some arguments. When she threatened to leave and take Ryder with her somewhere else, he decided to kill her. He had access to Cyanide because he worked part time as a nurse. He may decide to come after Ryder one day. Let's hope not, he deserves better.
