Chapter 190 Unseen Courage

Avery had seen the body of an elderly family member who passed away, which was completely

different from the tragically deceased body in front of her.

Even though she didn't get a clear look at Jane's face at that glance, Avery was still scared to the point Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

of retching.

Frank patted her back to help her catch her breath. "Are you okay?"

"Sorry," Avery apologized.

"It's normal for people who haven't seen a body before, let alone one that has undergone cadaveric

spasm. I understand."

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"You stop being afraid once you've seen enough," Frank said indifferently, his deep-set eyes harboring

an elusive expression. "Besides, the living are more terrifying than the dead in this world."

Avery didn't know what this man had been through. He was only a few years older than her but was

shrouded in mystery.

Such eyes could only belong to someone who had been tempered by hardship.

Perhaps she wasn't the only one who had suffered in this world. Avery overcame her fear inside and

turned on the flashlight.

"I'll hold the light for you. You check quickly."

"Okay." Frank instructed softly, "Close your eyes and leave the rest to me."

To not delay the process, Avery quickly closed her eyes.

A hand was placed on her wrist, and Frank's voice came from beside her ear. "Excuse me."

He held her wrist and walked over to the corpse. In the cold room, the warmth of his hand was

particularly intense.

Avery then heard the rustling sound, probably Frank taking off the corpse's trousers.

Fortunately, the trousers in the psychiatric hospital were loose, and he didn't need to use much force to

pull them down.

Despite not seeing it, Avery could tell what he was doing.

She held the flashlight high.

"It's done," Frank reminded, "Don't open your eyes, and wait until I put the body back."

Avery couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?"

"Her cervix was laterally torn."

"Normally, the cervix of a woman who has never given birth is round, so it seems she really did give

birth to a child."

"Yes."

Frank took Avery away, paid for Jane's funeral expenses, and had her properly buried.

"It's been delayed for so long, and she can finally rest in peace. After all, I caused her death. If it

weren't for me, perhaps she wouldn't have died so early."

Frank shook his head. "Not necessarily. I found out that she had been injected with forbidden drugs

before her death, causing her to be mentally confused. Even without you, she wouldn't have lived much

longer."

"She said someone took her child. Who could that be? Could it be that her parents took the child

abroad?"

"We can't conclude just yet, but today, we've obtained quite a few clues. Leave the rest to me. I'll take

you back first. By the way."

Frank took out a mobile phone from his pocket. "From now on, contact me with this phone."

If she frequently contacted Frank, it would eventually be discovered, considering how easy it was for

Jacob to track her communication records.

"Thank you."

"If you can help the people on the island, that's the best reward for me."

Avery returned to the secret room and left with the two children.

Carl's face was deathly pale, obviously frightened.

On the contrary, the frail Randy was calm and even supported Carl when they came out. "It's all fake.

You were so scared that you jumped into an NPC's arms."

Avery thought of this scene and found it amusing. "I didn't see that coming. Carl is such a scaredy-

cat?"

"Avy, you didn't see it. Carl just got scared into making whimpers. It was hilarious."

"Shut up!"

The two of them scuffled, their cheerful atmosphere dissipating the sadness of Jane's death.

A car stopped by the roadside, and the window rolled down to reveal Jacob's cold face. "Get in."
