Natalie had just stepped out of the autopsy room.
Next to her, Effie put a palm over her mouth and nose even though she was wearing a mask. Still, she
looked like she was about to throw up anytime soon.
“I can‘t stand this...” Effie muttered, waving her hand. “Heaven knows how long this body had been
soaking in the sewer before they dug it up.”
“Well, that‘s the reality of being a coroner. It‘s no easy job,” said Natalie, patting Effie‘s shoulder gently.
“Besides conducting autopsies, we also need to provide evidence for criminal investigation.”
“I understand.”
When Effie could not stand the stench any longer, she dragged Natalie along and headed to the
restroom to freshen up.
Just then, Natalie‘s phone rang.
When she realized it was Sophia calling, her mood lightened in an instant, and she picked it up with a
smile.

and tell me what happened. I‘m here. Everything‘s going to be fine.”

clearly.

permission.
“I‘m coming right now, Sophia.”
With that, Natalie hung up the phone.

scary!”
“Effie, I‘ll leave the data to you guys. I‘ll email you the diagnosis report later,” said Natalie, turning off
the tap. “Right now, I have something more important to handle.”
“Oh… All right.”
After that, Natalie turned around to leave.
Staring at Natalie‘s retreating figure, Effie had a feeling that she looked more like she was going to fight
someone.

motorcycle.
Stepping forward, she took the keys and the helmet from the police and said, “I‘m Natalie Nichols, a
senior coroner. I need to borrow this motorcycle for now. I‘ll return it afterward.”

much force, it hurt whenever the cane landed on Franklin.
Franklin‘s once delicate and adorable face was contorted in a grimace of pain.
Yet, he was adamant about suffering in silence. Till then, he had not let a single tear fall and would only
let out a low grunt when he could not bear it.
Meanwhile, Yara merely watched on without saying a word.
I‘ve disliked Franklin since a long time ago. He looks too much like that woman! Besides his features, his stubborn attitude is exactly like her! Heaven knows how much I have to put up with him over the years!
Now that she witnessed Franklin punished by Kenneth, she felt as if her pent–up frustration had been
vented.
Soon, Kenneth could not bring himself to punish Franklin anymore. Therefore, he intentionally paused
and asked, “Franklin, I‘ve already punished you for your mistake. As long as you admiuit and
apologize, I won‘t continue anymore!”
“Apologize?” Franklin breathed as his face paled. In the next second, he directed a glare toward Yara
and said, “Never!”
