Chapter 269
I suddenly felt tense, and a sense of panic began to rise within me. I noticed my voice had changed.
“Go ahead.”
“I had someone track his phone. It’s been located in an abandoned freezer warehouse” Neil paused,
then continued, “It should still be there.”
“A freezer warehouse? I was shocked. How did Oscar’s phone end there?
Neil nodded. If you’re nning to call the police, you should do it as soon as possible just to be safe.
Although I can’t confirm that he is there…”
I didn’t need Neil to tell me that something was definitely wrong. I immediately grabbed my phone and
dialed 911.
I got the address of the abandoned freezer warehouse from Neil and gave it to the police.
After hanging up, my anxiety didn’t ease. I decided to see the situation for myself at the freezer
warehouse.
Neil stood up. “I’ming with you”
“But you’ve been drinking” I hastily put on my coat, “I can go by myself”
Neil insisted oning. He even beat me to the door, indifferently saying. “You can drive, can’t you?”
Neil never liked Oscar, so he didn’t really care about Oscar’s fate
I paid him no mind. He followed me as I quickly headed towards the garage, then I drove off towards
the abandoned freezer warehouse.
The freezer warehouse was in a suburb of Rosemont I knew this ce because ourpany used to
rent one of their freezers to store some raw materials. After the lease ended, we didn’t renew
This freezer warehouse had always been rented out topanies for storage. Why would Oscar be
there?
The police had already arrived. They were trying to contact the owner of the freezer warehouse but
couldn’t reach him. Someone noticed that the lock was broken, so it could be easily pushed open.

My mind was a mess as i watched the police search, and the panic inside me was growing.
Neil noticed my distress and helplessness. He stood by my side, took my hand, and held it tightly. His
warm palm gave me somefort. Perhaps because I really neededfort and support right now.
“There’s a body!”
After one of the policemen shouted, everyone rushed over to see. I, on the other hand, felt my legs go
weak.
Nell steadied me. His arm was the only thing I could rely on right now
“Let’s go see.” Neil sounded sober, his voice was steady and strong, like a tranquilizer for me.
-I nodded, foreing myself to go see.
The freezer warehouse had been sealed off by the police. I couldn’t go in to check: I could only watch
from behind the police tape. The body was covered In ice and was slowly melting
I saw the body curled up with its back towards me, wearing a ck short down jacket. Hey quietly in
the corner of the freezer with a phone beside him.
“Oscar…” I stammered.
I recognized the jacket. I’d seen Oscar wear it.
“Do you know the deceased?” A police officer noticed my reaction and came over to ask. He was
holding a passport, “Is this him?
My eyes were already stinging, but I managed to clearly see the name and picture on the passport.
I was speechless, and tears began pouring down my face.
The Oscar on the passport looked young and innocent, very much like the cheerful guy I knew in
college
“How…how did…”I finally found my voice, but I couldn’t articte my thoughts
Neil pulled me into his arms to keep me from copsing, then said, “The deceased is our friend. We
haven’t been able to reach him for a couple of days. so we traced his phone. We’re the ones who
called the police.”
The officer sighed, “He’s just a young guy. There is a bag of luggage nearby, it looks like he was
nning to travel How did he end up dead here?”
Neil didn’t reply I was drowning in guilt and pain as my vision started to blur.
I saw Oscar stand up and walk towards me, smiling, “Irene, why are you crying?”
I’m sorry. I’m really sorry I started to apologize, losing my mind.
Noticing my breakdown, Neil immediately held me tighter, looking worried, “Irene, calm down
How could I calm down? In my previous life, although Oscar lost his girlfriend, he wasn’t affected by it.
He might have met another good girl in some corner of the world, found a good job, and lived a simple,
happy life
But because of my rebirth and because I deliberately dragged him into this mess, he ended up dead.
it hadn’t deliberately approached him and used him, he would have left Rosemont a long time ago. He
wouldn’t have gotten involved in the dispute between Bonnie and me, and he wouldn’t have met with
this disaster.
I was already extremely depressed because of my parents. Oscar’s death was like a heavy blow that
pushed me further into the abyss.
When Oscar was carried out, i saw his frozen, pale face and rigid body, I couldn’t control my emotions.
I felt dizzy and passed out.
When I woke up. I was in the hospital.
Ste and the others were by my side, looking worried.
“Rena, you’re awake? Seeing me awake, Ste anxiously asked. “Do you feel ufortable
anywhere?”
I shook my head, expressionless, like a zombie
Barbaras eyes were also red, “Rena, I know you saw Oscar as a brother, but there’s nothing we can do
now. Please try to hold it together.”
They all knew about my sibling-like rtionship with Oscar, and they would asionally meet him.
They were friends with Oscar as well.
Oscars sudden tragedy made everyone sad.
But I was different I was indirectly responsible for his death
I asked, “Where is Oscar now?” As soon as I said it, I felt a heavy pressure in my chest.
“He’s undergoing an autopsy. They should have the results soon Alicia squeezed my hand and
whispered, “Neil and Mitch are helping with the arrangements.
After hearing the word ‘autopsy, I couldn’t hold back the tears again. I remembered the first time I ran
into Oscar at a bar, he politely brushed off my
a girlfriend.
pick-up attempt, telling me he already had”
At that moment, Neil showed up at the hospital room door. He looked worried and had a heavy
expression on his face.
Ste and the others exchanged nces, then made themselves scarce, leaving Neil and me alone to
chat about Oscar.
