Even After Death

Chapter 190

Chapter 190

Olivia had seen the bodies of old deceased people in the family. But those were different compared to this gruesome body.

Even though she didn’t get a clear look at Belle’s face, it was enough to make her gag.

Jack patted her on the back to help her breathe. “Are you okay?”

“I’m sorry,” Olivia said apologetically.

“I can understand. People don’t normally see dead bodies, much less decomposed ones.”

“Why aren’t you afraid?”

“I got used to seeing them.” Jack’s voice was calm. There was a distant look in his eyes. “And living humans are more horrifying than the dead ones.”

Olivia didn’t know what he had been through.

He only looked a few years older than her, but he was shrouded in mystery.

She knew that he had to have been through a lot of suffering to become like that.

Maybe she wasn’t the only one that was suffering in the world. Olivia pushed down the fear in her heart and turned on the flashlight.

“I’ll shine the light for you. Take a look quickly.”

“Okay. Close your eyes and leave the rest to me,” Jack ordered calmly.

Olivia quickly closed her eyes to not delay the process.

Jack put his hand on her wrist. His voice came from beside her. “I’m sorry.”

He held her wrist and led her before the body. His hand felt especially warm in the cold room.

Olivia heard rustling sounds again. It was probably Jack taking off the body’s pants.

Luckily, the pants from the psychiatric hospital were loose. It didn’t take him much effort to get it off.

Although she couldn’t see, Olivia could imagine Jack’s progress in her mind based on the sounds she heard.

She was holding the flashlight high.

“I’m done,” Jack told Olivia. “Don’t open your eyes yet. Let me put the body back inside.” Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Olivia asked impatiently, “How was it?”

“Her cervix is torn horizontally. Normally, the cervix of someone who hasn’t given birth is round, so this confirms that she did give birth to a child.”

“Yes.”

Jack left with Olivia. He also paid the funeral expenses for Belle and asked the employees to give her a proper burial.

“She’s finally going to get a proper burial after so long. It was my fault, after all. Maybe she wouldn’t have died so early if not

for me.”

Jack shook his head and said, “That may not be the case. I found out that someone had been injecting her with prohibited drugs constantly before her death.

“The drugs messed with her mental state. She didn’t have long to live, even if you didn’t show up.”

“She said someone took her baby. Who could it be? Could it be that her parents took her child overseas?”

“It’s impossible to say for sure now. But we got a lot of leads today. Leave the rest to me. I’ll send you back first.”

“Oh, that’s right. Here’s a phone. You can use this to contact me next time.” Jack handed her a phone that he had taken out of

his pocket.

She thought about how easily Ethan could find her phone records. She would be discovered sooner or later if she contacted Jack with her phone.

“Thank you.”

“The best compensation you can give is your help to the people of the island.”

Olivia went back to the escape room and left with the boys.

Tom’s face was pale. He looked like he had a good scare.

On the other hand, Jerry looked calm. He was even supporting Tom as they walked out.

“It’s all faked. Were you so scared that you had to jump into the arms of a ghost?”

The image of Tom doing that brought a smile to Olivia’s face. “I didn’t expect Tom to be so timid.”

“Ms. Olivia, you weren’t there to see. Tom was so scared that he started to sob. It was so funny.”

“Shut up.”

The boys quickly began to fight with each other. The cheery atmosphere washed away the sadness brought on by Belle’s death.

A car stopped by the road. The window was rolled down to reveal Ethan’s cold expression. “Get in the car.”
